ThHiiL'h , pointed , narrow forehead and tl7o correspondingly attenuated chin : the prominent check lioups and pronounced nosoj the intent , ' wido- open eyes , nnd , more than all , the Jucuhistophuliun mouth , with its sar donic , snecrini ; expression , convoying so much of unbelief and distnlst , all uo to make the tout ensemble of he intelligent , wily , ucornfiil , suspicious savage , whose barbarism has received only a lacquer of repression vrithcivi- ix.ed whites. Tlie old man is poor that ean bo seen nt a glanco. Upon his head arc no waving plumes , save the indispensable coup feather , which droops us if in sympathy with the owner's fallen fortunes. Instead of the fur-trimmed braids and gaudy bead and huad-dress of the agency Indian is the simple handkerchief safely may it bo assumed it is grimed with filth and age knotted carelessly behind. The spectacles may strike some observers as odd , but many Indians wear them as protection Against snow-blindness in winter and the alkali dust of the plains in summer , and Sitting Bull has reached the ngc when his eyes are "purging thick amber and plum-tree gum , and need the covering the lenses , afford. , As before stated , ho is swarthy of coni- , ploxion remarkably dark , in fact .and "ago has withered him , " while lack of food and continual troubles crowded into his last few years have given vigor to "decay's effacing fin gers. " From coup feather to moccasin sin the thorough savage has none the less made a mark upon his time which many of greater note through general Christendom have not effected. T11K 1NTEUV1EW. The conversation , omitting the do- lnya , side remarks and questions to which no response would be given , ran as follows : letorpretor : Where wore you born and when ? Sitting Bull : I don't know where I was born and cannot remember. I know that I was born , though , or would not bo here. I was born of a woman , I know this i a fact , because I exist. Sitting Bull hero hold a long con venation with his uncle , Chief Four- Horns , and after pointing at different for some time , said : f I was born near old Fort Gcorgoon Willow crook , below the mouth of the Cheyenne river. I am forty-four years old as near as I can toll ; wo count our years from the moons between great events. The event from which I date my birth is the year in which Thunder Hawks was born. I am as oldas , ho. k I have always been running -around Indians that remain on the same hunt ing grounds all the time can remem ber years bettor. Reporter : How many wives and children have you ? Sitting Bull ( running over his fin gers and then witli thumb and fore finger of one hand pinching and herding together two fingera of his other hand ) ; I have nine children and two living wivea , and one wife that has gone to the great spirit. I have two pairs of twins. Lieut. Dowdy : Toll Sitting Bull lie is more fortunate tliuu I urn. I can't get one wife. At this interruption Sitting Bull laughed. Reporter ; Which is your favorite wife ? .Sitting Bull : I think as much of oiio as of tlio other. If I did not J would not keep them. I think if I had a white wife I would think more of her than the other two , Reporter : What are the names of your wives ? Sitting Bull : Raising the side of the tent and calling a squaw to him evidently ho asked her , "Was-Seen- By-Tho-Nation is the name of the old one. The One-that-Had-Four-Robea is the name of the other. " Reporter : Are you a chief by in heritance , and , if not , what deeds'of ' bravery gave you the. title ? Sitting Bull : My father and two y r uncles wore chiefs. My father's name was The-Jumping-Bull. Jly uncle that is in the tepee is called Four- Horns , and my other uncle was called Hunting-His-Lodgc. My father was .a very rich man , and owned a great many ponies in four colorsr In p6- nies ho took much pride. They wore roan , white and grey. Ho had great .numbers , and I / never wanted for a horse to ride. When I watf ton years old I was famous for a hunter. My specialty was buffalo calves. [ Here Bull indicated with his arms how he killed the buffalo , ] I [ gave the calvcc I killed to the poor that had no horses , I was considered a good man , [ Here Bull again counted on his fingers and joints , ] My father died 21 year ago , For four years after L was ten yean old I killed buffalo and fed my people nnd thus became one of the fathers oi the tribe. At the ago of fourteen 1 killed an enemy and began to MAKE MYSELF OREA'T IN lUTTLK , And became a chief. Before this from ton to fourteen , my people Imc named mo Tho-Sacred-Stanushoty After killing an enemy they called mi Ta-Tan-Ka-I-You-Tan-Ka. or. Bitting Bull. An Indian may bo an inherit ed chief , but ho lias to make hitnscl r a chief by his bravery. [ Although several efforts wore made and mud tact used , Sitting Bull would no .apeak of his life beypnil the ago o fourteen , ] .Reporter : Buaido yourself , whou w - J4 * C fiy -nwl v . t ' do you think the greatest and bravest chief of the Sioux nation/ / Before answering this question Sit ting Bull took a long smoke , then Imndcd his pipe around , and i > layod with a Iviiife in his she.xth.Yith - drawing it , ho said : When I tame In Uuford , Igavoup everything. I oven gave up all my knives but this one. This is the only weapon I have. It is not sharp ; I keep it to fix pipes. [ Meditatively again he recalled the lost question and snidj : There were five sjieat chiefs of the Sioux nation before me. They were ; lie-to ( meaning Four Hornsj , Cc-su-ho-lan-ka Loud Voiced - - - - ( meaning Hawk ) , Il6lo-la meaning Scarlet Horn ) , Caii'to-tanka ( meaning Big Hcartt ( andTa-to-kft'Cii-yaivkamean ( ing Illuming Antelope. All are dead but Running Antelope and Four Horns. Ho is the braves chief he- sides myself. Antelope isitko , [ meaning a fool ) . Ho has been among the whites and asked all of us to sur render. At the conclusion of this sentence the interpreters turned to the reporter and told him that this statement of Sitting Bull's was made from a spirit of hatred and jealousy , and that Run- ling AnlolopoMvas a great chief and iad done moro than any other to get : ho Indians to surrender. Sitting Bull , it was ascertained , Imd in some nannnr interpreted ° r understood this convcr atonor | ho shortly interfered ami said ho hrtd NO HATUEI ) AND JRALOf.S\ ii his heart when speaking of other chiefs. "What induced you to surrendered vhat wrongs have you suffered at the lands of the government1 ! ' ' These and other questions \\oro put in all sorts of ways , , and at first the chief refused to answer them , saying this vas an ordinary talk , and these wore questions of great importance to Him , After hesitating a long time , and bc- ng assured by the interpreter that it ras best to speak , ho finally spoke in an excited and rambling way as fol- ows : . Already have I told my reasons. I was not raised to bo an enemy of the vhito man. The palo faces had things hat wo needed m order to hunt. We icedcd ammunition. Our interests rcro in peace. I never sold that much and. [ Hero Sitting Bull picked up rith his thumb and forefinger a little of the pulverized dirt in the tent , and lolding it up lot itfall nnd blow away. ] . ' nnvor made or sold a treaty with the United States. I came in io claim my rights and the rights of my people ! was driven in force from my laud , ind I now come back to claim it ferny ny people. I never made war on the Jnitod States government. I never stood in the white man's country. I icvcr committed any depredations in : he white man's country. I never nadc the white man's heart bleed. The white man came on to my land and followed me. The white men nade mo fight for my hunting grounds. The white man made mo kill him or 10 would kill my friends , my women and my children. Reporter : The white man admires your conduct in battle. You showed , -oursclf to bo a great chief in T1JE CUSTEll PiailT. Sitting Bull : There was a great ipirit who guided and controlled that ) attlo. I could do nothing. I was sustained by the great mysterious one. Hero Sitting Bull pointed upward vithhis forefinger. ] Reporter : You conducted the bat- lo well ; so well that .many thought Jiat you wore not an Indian , but that rou were a white man and knew the vhito man's ways. Sitting Bull ( pointed to his wrist ) : , [ was not a white man , for the great ipirit did not make me a white skin. L did not fight the white man's back. [ came out and mot him on the grass , When I say Running Antelope is a 'ool , I mean he madu treaties and al- owed the white man to como in and occupy ur land. Kvnv since that imo there has been trouble. I do tot want aid or assistance from the white or anyone else. I want theme ; o stay from my country and allow mo : o hunt on my own land. I want no jlood spilled in my land except the uloud of the buffalo. I want to hunt and trade for many moons. You have mo to como in. I wanted the white man to provide for mo for several years if 1 came in. You have never offered mo any inducements to como in. 1 did not want to como. My Friends that como got soap and ax handles , but enough to cat. I have come in and want the white man to illow mo to hunt in my own country. This is the way I live. I want to coup my ponies , I can't hunt with out ponies , The buflalo runs fast. The white man wanted mo to give up every tning. Reporter ; What treatment do you expect from the government ? If not satisfied what shall you do ? Sitting Bull : I expected to stay but a few days at Buford. When I came in I did not surrender. I want the government to lot me occupy the Little Missouri country , Tnero is plenty of game there. I have dama ges against the government for hold ing my land and game. I want the Great Father to , vMI ; KOJI IT. The reporter here asked the inter- Siotor to gotran idea(0f whjit Sittin" ull meant by the Little Missouri country. , Sitting Hull : My hunting-ground is from the bad lands to the end of the Little Missouri , , and I want it extended down where some of my people are so that I can trade. Boporter : What do Chief Gall and Running Antelope say about thoit treatment hero ? Sitting Bull : Antelope is a fool. I have scon Gall. Ho can t tell nie any' thing. Ho is not a chief of my pee ple. , Reporter : Don't you think the Indians hero are treated well ? SittingBull ; I have not had a chance to talk with them. They are waiting for mo to speak. They want to give mo a feast and hold a council. I air not jealous of them , i don't know whether we will hold a council 01 not. Reporter : Toll us all about tin Ouster battle. How did it happen Did you direct the main forces ? Sitting Hull ( after a long silence ) I am not afra'd to talk about that. I all happened ; it is past and gone. ] do not lie , but do not want to tall about it. Low Dog says I canno fight until some one Icnda mo a heart ' Gall says my heart' is no" bigger thai that ( placing pno forofingc ? at the of the neil of andUior forefinger ) . Wo have all along fought hard. \ \ o did not know Custer. When wo saw him wo threw up our hands and I cried , 'Follow mo and do as I do. ' \Vo whipped each other's horses and it was all over. Reporter : Ouster's men were nil killoit There is no one to toll us about the battle but yon , We keep a record of our battles and study thorn. Wo write histories of bravo men. Wo will never fight the Sioux again Toll us moro about it. Silting Bull : There was not as ma ny Indians as the white man says. They were all warriors. There was not moro than 2,000. Reporter : Crow King says on the day when yon were fighting Reno's men , that you asked your warriors not to kill any moro , that you had al ready killed enough. Silting Bull ! Crow King speaks the truth : I did not want to kill nny moro muii. I did not like that kind of work. T only defended niy camp. When wo Imd killed enough that was all that was ncccssarj * . All further oflorts by a scries of a dozen questions failed to induce Sit ting Bull to say anything further about this matter Reporter : Do yon understand what this is all for ? Do you know how a the 1'ioncor- jicat newspaper like - I'rcas goes out to thousands of people every morning ? Sitting Bull : ( Making a matk on : ho ground and placing his finger on one side of it ; Yes , I have soon the great newspaper over there. [ Mean ing across the British lines. ] Nr.VF.ll INTERVIEWED IlEKOltE. Hoportor : Have you over been in- ; orviowed by a newspaper man before upon those subjects ? Sitting Bull : I have never talked about these things to a newspaper nan boforo. None of them ever oo > 'ore paid me money. My words are worth dollars , If the great father gives mo a reservation , I do not want ; o bo confined to any part of it. I want no restraint. I will keep on the reservation , but want to go whore I ilooso. I don't want a white man ever mo. I don't want an agent. I want to have the white man with mo but not to bo my chief. I ask this jocauso I Want to do right by my poole - ) lo and can't trust any one olao to rmln with them or talk with them. I want interpreters to talk to the white nan for mo and transact my justness , but I want it to bo scon and know that I have my rights. I yant my people to have light wagons .o work with. They do not know low to handle heavy wagons with cattlo. Wo want light wagons and ionics. I don't wan't to give up game is long as there is any uame. I w ill )0 half civilized till the game is gone. Then I will bo all civilized. I want > caco and no trouble. I want to raise my children , that they may hare > oaco and prosperity. I like the way ho white brother keeps his children. Miss Fannie Culbortson of Polar river was tiio first person I shook lands with when I caino ever the inc. My daughter came to BOO mo ast night. Wo both cried. I was lappy to see her. The soldiers would lot lot her como into my camp at first. 5ho came here before I did , and I istened a long timn to hear from her , and for the winds to toll mo how she was treated. I did not hear. I came down to sco her. She scorns to bo doing well , but 1 saw she had no re spect from the whites. The soldiers would not spread down a blanket for iior to walk into my camp. She fa well dressed , but says htir telatives at : ho agency gave her hot1 clothes. THE siiooTi.viJ or Tin : rniisincsT. llopoitcr ( to the inturpurotoi ) : Ev- > k .in to Sitting Hull huw I'jevident Jarfield lias been shot by u oowuul , and ask him what ho thinks about the ict ; also what thu Indians would def f a coward should shoot their chief ? Sitting Bull : It was a cowardly net. Lf the warrior would have been thi'ro 10 would have gone to the great fath er's face and looked him in the oes and then shot him. I heard when way up there about the great father being shot , but had no one to toll mo all about it. I don't know whether the warrior was wise in doing it or not. Ho might have shot the great father because ho was not treating the Indians right. If that was so it was not a bad thing to do. If a coward should shoot ono of our chiefs with out looking him in the eyes our [ fiends would go nnd kill him. If ho was a rich coward ho could pay the damages in many ponies and wo would lot him leave. Reporter : How many scalps have you Ukcn , not counting those tukun by your people , which are alvvayu credited to the chiefs ? Sitting Bull ( spreading out both liands and putting his two thumbs to gether , and pointing to his jiiintn and thinking for fully five minuteH ) ; I have killed sixteen enemies. I nuver killed a white man , I have mtido r.iMa upon the Creos , Gross Vunuv.s nnd Northern Blackfeet , and stolen hoi > OB twenty-two times. I never Htule horses from the whites. Reporter : The president takes Tiie PioneerPrcs8. lie will road jour words. What message do you wish to send .him ? Sitting Bull : I have told yon all I want. I would like to huvtt tlio Great Father linton to what I liuvo said and help mo accomplish what I ask. IClduey Complnittt Cured * n. Turner , Rochester , N.
