Show I THE BLACK HILLS. A large number of teams have arrived ar-rived at Red Cloud lrom the Black Hills, to get supplies, and a great many people are going in via Red Cloud from Cheyenne. It is reported from Washington that the tiiuux of Rid Cloud and Spotted Tail agencies will be removed to some other locality early in the spriuii, and the country nov occupied uient. This action on the part of the government has become necessary, owing to the rush of people into the Black Hills. Advices by mail from Red Cloud from official sources, convince us that there is no truth in the report that Red Cloud intends to leave the agency with a part of his tribe, for the northern north-ern country, to fight the Crows. Neither is there any truth in the report re-port of a fight among the Sioux about the white people going into the Black Hiils. The state of affairs at tiie agency remains, as it has for the past year, quiet. Rations are being Usutd reggularly and there is no prospect of the slightest opposition ou the part of the Indians to the occupation of the Hills. This is authoritative. A party of thirty men, from Papil-lion, Papil-lion, Nebraska, will arrive hero to-cby, to-cby, and leave for the Hills in a duy or two. One hundred men, bailing from Decatur, Illinois, are now oa the way, and will reach here this week. Cheyenne Chey-enne Leader, loth. Fort Laiumie, 15. The rumor that Indiana from Sitting Bull's band are on a raid, is verified. To-day Charlie Wright arrived here from Cottonwood, and reports that six of his horses have been stolen and run oil by them. Captains Egan and Xoyes are now out with cavalry looking for the Indians, In-dians, and will probably catch them. Miners going into tho hills should bo well armed and watchful. Ucn. Crook expects an outbreak, and is preparing for it. The supplies which have been dealt out to the Sioux for some time, will probably be cut oil" and this, with tho occupancy of the hills by the whites, will give the Indians a pretext lor an outbreak, but Crook will make it warm fur them and speedily subdue lht;ir fierce spirits. Miners should not start in parties of leys than ten, and should be well armed and watchful. With these precautions there is absolutely no danger. |
