now that rurh claim Is baseless, in the
assertion of Major John R. Brennan. a
; orw of ths hills, the Triend of the ln
d.an and one of the best qunhf'.-d men in
the Mate to speak on the quwiton.

years in chair of th fine Rklre Indian
r'seratlon, has written an open letter to
t! e newspaper In the B!x k HiHs. sett.ng

ing that the Indian' present claims hava
Tin foundation.
The letter follow.
After flrat quoting the recent dispatches

every old-timer In th hills will dispute
the statement that th government with
draw lta oanosltlon to miner entering the
hills lr lil and 'T4, thereby breaking th

roads and routes leading to the hills, at
Fort Pierre, Fort Lincoln, Fort. 1 ramie
and Piatt river bridge on th road from
Sidney. Neb., preventing all travel on
thee route to th hills. He also denies
that war leading up to the defeat of Custer
bad anything to do with the Black Hills

"On June IS. 1S75. a commission waa ip

to the fact that it waa Impossibly to con.
cede to the demands of the Indians and
before the council closed the Indians had
become Insolent and defiant and when
negotiations ram to an end many of th
chiefs assumed, an attitude of decided
hostility and for a time an outbreak seemed
ertain. which was averted, however, by
th wiser cornel of a few of the head men
nod thief. -
Ctwsrs Rmwwraatla,
President Grant saw that further effort
most be mad to relieve the embarrassment
et the situation as the following extract
from bis message to congress In reference
to the matter will show:
"Tb discovery of gold tn the Black Hills.
portion of the Sioux reservation, has had
tb effect to indue a large emigration to
that point. Thus far the effort to preserve
the treaty rights of the Indians of that
section, has been successful, but tb next
year wfU witness a Urge Increase of such
mlrratlon. The negotiations for the re
linquishment of the gold lands having faUed,
It will be necessary for congress to adopt
some measure to relieve the ercbarraesment
growing- out of th causes named.
"The secretary of the Interior suggests
that the supplies now appropriated tor that
people being no longer obligatory under the
treaty of lacs, but simply a gratuity may
be Issued or withheld at bis discretion."
Congress then took the matter under eon
ideratlon. which resulted la the appoint
ment of a second commission consisting of
George W. Mannypenay, Albert O. Boone,
H. C Bull, Nswtoa Edmunds and A. a
Oaylor. In August 1ST this eommlsslon

"The government, having agreed in the
Black Hills treaty, to take care ot the

is a question just when It will end.
"A majority of the Sioux are not and
