THE WHEAT CROP.
Reports From Illinois , Wisconsin ,
Minnesota , Iowa , Nebraska
And Dakota ,
.A General Polling1 Off Reported
in All the Above
States.
Tfatlontt Associated I'rcw
CHICAGO , July 23. Unofficial but
reliable crop reports Imvobcon receiv
ed from the principal wheat bearing
districts of Illinois , Wisconsin , Min
nesota , Town , Nebraska niul Dakota.
In Illinois nearly every county reports
a decrease in the area since last year
and in many localities the unfavorable
weather and other cereal evils have
made the crop nearly a failure. On n
fair average the crop will bo from ono
to two-thirds as much as in average
.years.
In Iowa the acreage has greatly
fallen oil. This state complains of
everything that affects the wheat
crop. Fifty-one counties report an
acrcago of ono-thml less than last
season. In many of these the crop
will not bo over eight bushels to the
aero.
In the northern districts of Wiscon
sin chinch bugs and extreme heat have
caused great damage to the growing
crops. About two-thirds of n crop is
excected. In the middle and south
ern districts the prospects are better.
The acreage throughout the state is
much less than last year.
In Minnesota wheat is very unequal
in different parts of the state , but the
marjority of the reports arp fair to
fim-olass. Twenty bushels "to thoncro )
is the highest cstimato on the yield.
These figures are given on about ten
per cent , of the crop. The shortage
in acrcago over last year is placed at
.30,000 acres. Millers are looking to
Dakota Territory for their chiet sup
ply. Hero the prospects are inoro re
assuring. The yield is plncedjnt fifteen
bushels to the acre. Red river valley
will produce 5,000,000 bushels.
In Nebraska the yield per aero is
loss than the average , but the increas
ed average in the western part of the
state will raise the total yield to one-
third more than the crop of last year.
Grasshoppers are reported as doing
great damage in Minnesota and army
worms in Iowa and parts of Illinois.
SITTING BULL.
Uaroor of the Chief His Character-
k istlos and Campaigns-
In an interview with a member , of
Gen. Terry's staff , it was learned that
his earliest recollection of Sitting Bull
as a leader was in 1800 , when the re
port came from Buford thut the garrison
risen had been surrounded and wiped
out , and the commanding officer had
first shot his wife to prevent her fall
ing into the hands of the savages to
suffer indignities worse than death.
So slow was the moans of commu
nication in those primitive days that
it was several months before the
truth was known , when it appeared
that the scare was caused by a raid of
some Sioux under Sitting Bull , who
had swung round the circle of the
fort on a horse stealing expedition.
From that time Sitting Bull began to
bo ranked as a loader of the hostile
Sioux indeed it has over boon his
boast that ho would never go upon a
reservation or make peace with the
whites , but tlio singular fact remains
that no ono has over known of a well
authenticated instance of this chief
being in the thick of a fight.
WHEN JIAKD KNOCKS SHOUT IJE EX
PECTED ,
His forte has over boon to steal
horses and ponies , raid defenseless
ranches and carry off such stores ,
public and private , as he could con
veniently lay hands on. Ever hostile
and a malcontent , ho was the nucleus
about whom gathered the woll-fod ,
fiery young bucks from the reserva
tions , who as soon as grass was green
would sot forth on their annual round
of plunder until at last the signs of
disaflcction at the largera onciessuch
as Hod Cloud , Spotted Tail , Standing
Rock , etc. , containing then some 40- ,
006 Indians , became so marked that a
general outbreak was feared unless
stops were taken to compel these out
laws to settle dpwnatsomo designated
point. Accordingly the secretary of
the interior in December , 1875 , noti
fied thcso hostilcs that they must
come in to the reservations on or before
fore the 31st of January , 1870 , "or a
military force would bo sent to compel
them. " On the expiration of this
time the secretary of war was formal
ly notified that the Indians were
turned over to the militaryauthoritics
for such action as might bo deemed
proper , and
TUB CAMPAIGN OF 187G
was then organized by Gen. Sheridan ,
the plan being to move in three dis-
tinct.columns from Montana , Dakota
and the Platte simultaneously , to a
common center , where the hostile
were supposed to bo. the two former
under Con. Terry and thb latter under
Gon. Crook. On the 27th January of
January , 1870 , Gon. Crook's column ,
while descending the Rosebud , was
boldly attacked by a largo force of
warriors , and after a fight which last
ed into the night , boat off the onnmy ;
but the t'oneral 'concluded to retire
with a loss of nine dead and twenty-
one woundod. Meantime Gen John
Gibbon , Seventh infantry , with a force
of 450 men. was inarching from Fort
Ellis , Montanta , down the valley of
the Yellowstone to moot Gen , Terry ,
who , with 1,000 , men , was then as
cending the same valley , and as soon ,
as communication was established it
was determined , Juno 2L to detach the
Seventh cavalry under Gon. Custor by
a circuit to the upper Rosebud and
the Little Big Horn , where the entire
Command was to moot on a day ap
pointed. Of the disaster that follow
ed the moment when the bravo but
rash Custor , disregarding the instruc
tions of his superior , and taking the
chances of battle , rode fearlessly into
that valley of death on the Little Big
Horn with his 300 wearied warriors ,
much has been written , and with more
or less acrimony , but of Sitting Bull' *
part in this battle the best informed
are nrtw agreed that it wasj for an
Indian , neither conspicuous nor fe'lori-
ous.
SITTING 1JJJLL WAH IN TUB KEAll
and at that part of the village at
tacked by Major Reno , nnd immcdi
atoly after the fight opened gave orders
dors to the old men and snuaws to
pack up nnd leave , and this was
actually in progress , when a threat
ening message came by runners from
Crnx.y Horse , who was fighting Ouster
throe miles away at the other end of
the village to this effect : "Don't go ;
wo are got ting away with the soldiers , "
which so inspirited the warriors that a
furious attack was at once made on
Reno , and ho was driven back and
compelled to retreat to the bluff
across the rivor. On General Terry's
arrival the Indians retreated , and
among the spoils , of the camp was
found n fine oik robe , which , from the
totems or marks upon it , was thought
to belong to Sitting Bull , and the re
port was started that ho was among
the slain.
To determine the truth of this ru
mor , a number of scouts atuHndians
were examined , whoso various de
scription of the chieftain's personal
nppearauco might have answered for
anybody from George Washington to
John Brown , the most accurate and
truthful , however , being that of
Ilalf-Yellow-Faco , a Crow scout , who
HAI > K'NOWN .simxo HULL VKOM HIS
YOUTH ,
when ho used to wander around the
boundary of what was then the Crow
reservation , looking for stray ponies ,
His description of Sitting Hull's
peculiarities waa very vigorous the
low , squatty figure , his walking MU the
outer edge of ono foot owing to n
wound in the solo , the dark , almost
Ethiopian complexion , the remarka-
bio width between the cheek bones
and the painted chin all conspiring
Ip make up a personnel at once pecu
liar and typical.
FIIE EVENTS OF 1877.
The Noz Forces campaign of 1877 ,
with its opening , stirring fight at Big
Hole , Howard s long and arduous
pursuit , and Miles' final success in
: apturing Joseph and his band , to-
gothnr with the later Cght with Lame
Door's Sioux at Bear Paw mountain ,
lu which troops under the last-men-
: ioncd commander were engaged ,
claimed principally the attention of
the public in connection with Indian
nffctirs. It will bo remembered that
03 Chief Joseph and his bravo follow
ers advanced eastward , grave fears
wcro entertained that Sitting Bull
would rccross the boundary , form a
junction with the Ncz Perces , and aid'
in crushing the common enemy and
many were the roportsrccoived first ,
that such junction was about to bo
made and then that it had been ac
complished. But Sitting Bull had no
notion of taking up any quarrel not
distinctively his own. Ho know full
well that Joseph , beside being as wise
in council and as powerful as himself ,
was a skillful general and a bravo sol
dier , not only planned a fight but took
a leading part therein , a role to which
the Sioux loaders never particularly
aspired. To all the plcadLigs of the
couriers sent by Joseph to the Woody
Mountain camp Sitting Bull made but
this reply and this only : "You may
smoke and eat hero ; you are welcome ;
BUT THIS IS YOUR FIOUT NOT MINE.
You must not expect that any of my
warriors will go across the border to
help you. " These , in fact ,
were his very words , and ho consis
tently lived up to their import. Had
ho joined his fellow redskins , it is
hard to tell exactly what the denoue
ment might have been. In the au
tumn of 1877 it was decided in Wash
ington to make tin effort to effect by
diplomacy what arms had failed to
bring about , and to send to Sitting
Bull a commission of dignity so un
impeachable that ho would necessarily
attach weight to its promises and pre
sentations. Accordingly , leave haying
been obtained from the British
authorities , who were then , as they
have since been , anxious o get rid of
the wily old chief and his hungry-
horde of followers for the entrance
of such commission , Gon. A. H.
Terry , United States army , and Hon.
A. G. Lawrence of Massachusetts ,
who had been duly constructed mem
bers of the peaceful embassy , pro-
cccdcd with an escort to the British
line , and were mot by Col. McLood of
the Northwestern Mounted police ,
who , with a battalion of his force ,
guided thorn to Fort Walsh. Much
trouble was experienced in getting
Sitting Bull and his loading men to
consent to an interview at all , but on
the 17th of October an interview was
brought about within the limits of the
fort.
GLOOMY , RETICENT , SUSPICIOUS AND
IMPERTINENT
the renegade rod received the dis
tinguished gentleman , refusing to
shako hands with them as the first
mark of his disapprobation and next
insisting that Gon. Terry should sit in
front of the table , in plain view , and
that ho should try and speak the
truth to the assembled chiefs. The
general then presented the reasons
why the hostilcs should cease their
hostility , and become agency Indians ,
gave a forceful presentment of what
had boon done to ethers who had sur
rendered how well they had boon
treated , etc. and promised on behalf
of the United States government that
no harm should befall any , present or
absent , who would cross the line , sur
render their arms and ponies and
peaceably take himself to such agency
as might bo designated , .not only
would they bo protected from harm
but many privileges would bo granted
thorn and substantial support afforded ,
the proceeds from the sale of their
ponies boinjj applied in their behoof.
To the condition precedent , that arms
and ponies should bo surrendered ,
Sitting Bull replied only by a sneering
smile , and when culled upon for his
answer said "No , " emphatically and
impudently. The commission was a
failure and nothing of good was there
by attained , not through any fault of
its members , but simply because Sit
ting Bull and hi * people were not hun
gry , and therefore had then discov
ered no symptoms of the defection
which at a later day was to leave him
shorn of the greatness ho so much
prized.
DURING TUB YEAtt 1878
Sitting Bull remained quietly on the
northern side of the boundary line ; gr
if ho did cross to American soil it was
but in pursuit of buffalo , and his stay
was never prolonged. Reports of his
coming , however , and in force , were ,
as usual , rife , and in the summer
reconnaissance in force was made
north of the Missouri , with no special
resultliowcver , and as the hostilcs
seemed inclined to kcop the peace , op
erations against them were for the
time suspended by orders from Gen.
Sherman. The Bannock troubles
during the year and the hostile ntti
tudo of a remnant of the Noz Pcrcoa ,
engaged attention to the exclusion of
Sitting Hull's monopoly of frontier in
terest. The fact was fully recognized
however , that so loin > as ho remained
at largo ami accessible , so long would
it bo impossible to prevent agency
Sioux from joining him , more c.ipo
daily during the season ot buffalo
hunting , and as it is n universally rcc-
ngnizcufact that an Indian absent
from his proper reservation without
leave is a hostile do jure and do facto ,
his capture or surrender was still re
garded ! as a consummation devoutly to
bo wished , and any means looking to
ward the olid desired would have boon
eagerly used by the military authori
ties.
TIIK YEAH 1870 HAD SCAIICH OPENED
'ero reports began to bo received from
northern Montana that large bands of
Silting Bull's Indians were there ,
having crossed the line as soon as
travel was possible , that some depre
dations had been committed confined
principally to the killing of cattle and
stealing of hoiscs and more were im
minent. The cordon of forts com
menced in 1877 was now almoit com
plete , and it was not believed that the
former scone of the Sioux troubles ,
the Yellowstone valley and thoao of
its tributaries , would bo ontcrod by
the hostilcs as they would have every
reason to fear decimation if not cap
ture in toto. Above the cordon , how
ever , they sc ( mod to bo able to roam
at their own sweet wills , and the stores
of government supplies at Poplar
river and ether outlying stations wore
never safe from their raids. In view
of these and cognate facts , Gon. Terry
doomed it advisable that Gen , Miles
take the field again in person and with
sufficient troops to meet and overcome
any body of Indians however largo ,
the 12th of July , accordingly ,
Gen. Miles crossed the Missouri to the
northern bank , in the vicinity of old
Fort Peck , having under his command
seven companies of cavalry , nine of
infantry , ninety-eight unassigncd recruits -
cruits , a goodly sized detachment of
scouts , and friendly Indians and sev
eral pieces of artillery. On the 17th
of July , the advance detachment
under Lieut , ( now captain ) Philo
Clark , second cavalry , struck a large
body of hostiles between Beaver
creek and Milk river and a lively
fight ensued , which
MIGHT HAVE ENDED DISASTROUSLY
for the whites , as they were largely
outnumbered , had not the near approach
preach of the main body frightened
Sitting Bull , who was in command in
person , and he withdrew his forces to
the north bank of Milk river , thence
retreating to the British possessions.
Many cautivos were made , however ,
and the operations of that summer
were the beginning of the end , as
over thereafter there appeared a spirit
of dissatisfaction among the Sioux
known as the hostilcs proper , festered
eagerly by such chiefs as Gall and
Rain-in-tho-Faco , who had long
viewed , iealously , the power of a
leader whoso right to absolute com
mand they had many times disputed.
Another gratifying result of the cam
paign of 1870 was the capture or dis
persal of many small bands of half'
broods , who had , by their nefarious
traflic with the hostilcs , whom they
kept well supplied with arms and am
munition , fatally retarded the settle
ment of the hostile Indian question.
On the 28th of July , Long Dog , an
emissary from Sitting Bull's camp ,
stated that the recalcitrants had finally
elected to remain on the northern side
of the line and Major Walsh , of the
mounted police , assured Gon. Miles
that there need bo no further appre
hension of inraids by hostile parties.
These assurances were afterwards
berne out by the facts.
TIIKC1RA.TIFYINO UESULTS IN 1880 ,
brought about by the subtile yet pow
crful agencies of hunger and want ,
and aided by the attitude of the Brit
ish authorities , who refused longer to
suffer the hostilcs to coinu and go at
will , are so recent as not to need elab
oration. There were isolated instances
of rapine and murder in which the
handiwork of the Sioux was apparent ,
but they were fewer than over before ,
and the surrender to Gen. Miles in
autumn , of Ruin-in-tho-Faco , and
many ether chiefs with thousands of
followers , who were safely corralod at
Fort Kcogh , gave assurance that the
backbone of the recalcitrants' opposi
tion was broken and the problem on
the verge of solution. When Rain-
in-tho-Faco crossed the line and sur
rendered , Gall and his hundreds
crossed also , but wont to Poplar Crook
instead of Keogh , and at first express
ed a desire to surrender , but delayed
from time to time until January 2d
of the present year , when Col , llges
persuaded thorn out of the woods and
into custody with his frost-bitten sol
diers and his Hotchkiss gun. Cro'.v
King and his bands , persuaded by
Scout Allison , whoso efforts to gather
in the entire outfit have often and re
cently boon detailed , made a virtue
of necessity and were sent to join
at Buford. Sitting Bull ,
promising to coma in and
acting in bad faith , as
usual , and retreating to his old camp
ing grounds at Moody mountains.
ED A HAND TO MOUTH EXISTENCE
for months , deserted by the hundreds
who once rallied round his council
fire and medicine banner , and treated
with marked coldness by the servants
of his Great Mother , upon whom ho
had supposed ho could confidently
count for moral support and substan
tial sustenance , Ho was deterred
from surrendering by two things :
First and foremost , his unconquerable
disinclination to yield and become a
"common Indian , " with his poten
tiality gone and his very personality
merged with the crowd of agency
chiefs. And , second , his fears lost
bodily punishment , probably death ,
would bo meted out to him by the au
thorities ho had so long and so sue
cessfully sot at defiance. But fate
has been too strong for him , and the
expenditure of hundreds of lives and
millions of money lias at last berne
fruit. The "Bull that Sits Down"
will go down into history as a wily
counselor , and for a long time success
ful warrior , but the prestige of suc
cess has left him , and among his own
people , there are none so poor as now
to do him reverence.
WHAT DISPOSITION WILI , UD MADE OF
KITTING BULL
it is yet top early to say , and many
grave considerations will have to bi
carefully weighed before a decision is
reached. Standing Rock , whither
{ hoothorcapturoclmid anrrpnd'td Sioux
Jmvo lately boon removed , isthonatural
homo of the captured chief , as it is of
all the UncapApas , but the hostilcs
therein will to-day lese their identity
as such , since they are to bo turned
over this morning to the interior de
partment , as represented by Agent
Stephan , by the war department ,
which up to this time has not only
guarded but fed them. "Whether it
will bo deemed wise to send Sitting
Bull to Standing Rook and place him
at once on the fooling of an agency
Indian is yet to bo seen. It is not
likely that ho will bo dignified by n
separate maintenance , though a spec
ial guard may bo doomed expedient ,
at least for a time. Maji MoLaugh
Jin , who will assume clmrgo of Stand
ing Rock agoccy about the 5th of An
gust , is loarnud in all Indian ways , is
respected by all the Sioux , and is crod
iled with a skill and firmness in their
nanatreniont likely to produce the best
results. Possibly it may bo thought
> cst to confide Sitting Bull to his
voepiug , and ho has plenty of aborigi i
ml policemen to sojuro strict watch
and ward over him and prevent an es
cape , which , it is far from unlikely ,
vill bo prumuditatoil ore next sumner -
nor wanes nway.
OKN. TKIIUY'S onr.AT HATIHKAOTION
it the "conclusion of the whnk
natter" goes without saying , though
10 does hot hesitate to express it
reel } ' . His feelings will bo shared
iot only by every ollicor and soldier
n the army their wives and children
of course , included-but by every
rontiorsman in the country from
Joxas to Washington territory , and
) y the tax-payers all over ilto country ,
vhothor they ndhoro to the peace
> olicy or no. Sitting Bull's influence
or evil , throughout all the aboriginal
ribes , has been immense , since his
lomadic and unrestrained life has
served as a constant lure to those who ,
ry as they will , cannot subdue en
tirely the instincts to go and do like
wise , born in them and growth of
their growth.
