KILLED SITTING BULL,

OTHER BIOUX.

to Arreet the Crafty Old Medicine Man.
Fear* That the Battle Will Inflame the
ftloas—Forea to Be Seat Against the
Hacks In the Bad Lands.
Port Yatkb, 8. D., Dec. 15.-r-Bitting
Bull was arrested at daylight by the In*
dian police. Friends attexnped his res
cue and a fight ensued. Sitting Ball,
his son Black Bird, Catch Bear and fonr
other hostile*, together with seven of
the best police under Capt. Fonchet,
were killed.
Ai soon as the firing commenced three
troops of ravalry came to the reacne of
routed by the skilled sharpshooters of
the hostile*.
Ofl Far the. Bad Land*.
They brought with them two machine
runs, Which weft turned loose upon
WtttHg Butt’s Tolldwers, and within five
minutes the savages were out of range
and leaving at a furious rate on their
fleet ponies toward the Bad Lands,
where Short Bull and Crow Dog are in
trenched with 200 Ogallala bucks.
SITTING BULL’S DEATH.
A Coaricr Bring* the Ken to Blimrek,
Whence ft 1* T*l*graph*d.
St. Paul, Dec. 16.—A courier from
Standing Rock has reached Bismarck,
whence the following account of the
fight in which Sitting Bull Was killed is
telegraphed:
The police under , Bull Head, lieuten
ant of police, and Shave Head, first ser
geatet, went into camp near Sitting
Bull’s village Sunday bight, and Mon
day morning went into Boll’s camp and
snade the arrest.
Sitting Bnll expressed his willingnees
to go with them, but wanted to make
some preparations for the ride and or
dered hi 6 horse to be gotten ready.
While Bull Head and Shave Bead
were in the shack where the old chief
was getting ready two bucks, enveloped
in blanket*, entered the shack, and,
throwing off their blankets, opened fire
on the police.
Sitting Bull’s wife had gone out and
set up a howl, which seems to have been
the signal for the assault. In the fight
which followed
Bed ToniHlmwk Billed Kitting Bull.
Ten or more of Sitting Bull’s followers
were killed. Seven police were killed,
and Bull Head and Shave Head were
desperately wounded and will undoubt
edly die.
The police ware now surrounded, but
at this juncture Capt. Fetchet with his
Gatling gun and a “Hotchkiss" reached
the scene and attacked the Indians, who,
after an hour and a half of hot skirmish
ing took to flight and disappeared into
the timber. The camp with the dead
and wounded was taken at once.
It is considered that the trouble is
now ended so far as Standing Rock
agency is concerned, and that there is
no cause for fear that settlers
will be disturbed in this section.
That* Who Were Killed,
Police killed—Little Eagle, Afraid-of-
Soldiers, Hawk Man, Broken Arm.
Bull Head mortally wounded, Shave
Head mortally wounded, Alex Middle
wounded in the leg. Hostile* killed—
Sitting Bull, Crow Foot, Sitting Bull’s
son, Brave Thunder and his son, Catch
the-Bear, Black Bear. Little Aosina
boine, Spotted Horn Bnll. No casual
ties among Capt. Fonchet's rnfeu.
J SOLDIERS !
Fifty Yroo|»«r* fl|iel Down by Beil* ie a
■ MUii-rlndiea Low Hekvjf.
Denver, Dec. 16. A News courier
from a camp near Daly’s ranch has the
following from Rapid City, S. D.: “A
rancher just arrived in great haste to
our commanding officer, and reports a
command of cavalry attacked and two
officers and fifty men killed, but the In*
dians were repulsed with heavy losses.
The number of Indians killed is not
known. The Indians were put to rout.
It is not known whose command it was,
bnt is probably that of Maj. Tupper, of
the Sixth cavalry, and his three troops
of 140 men. Our command marches to
their assistance at once.”
PREPARATIONS FOR WAR.
Order* Sent to Every Garrison in the
Northwest to Prepare to Move.
Chicago, Dec. 16.—Geu. Miles has
ordered Col. Corbin to promulgate his
commands to every post, from that of
bheridau, on the shores of Lake Michi
gan, to Snelling and Buford, to pack up
their marching equipment* and be
ready at a moment’s notice to march for
the scene of war. The commaml struck
Post Sheridan like a thunderbolt, but
the boys welcomed the orders as the
harbinger of a change front the dull
routine of post duty. Every man is
nnder marching orders, furloughs have
been cancelled and the dreary bent of
post life has been supplanted by the
more serious preparations for actual
war.
Troop* After Hall'* Follower*.
St. Paul, Dec. 17.—G«n. Huger says
that the troope are in pursuit of the
band of Indians who engaged in the con
flict at Orand river and he expects
they will soon be captured. He does
not think the Indians will succeed in
reaching the Bad Lands to join the hoe
tiles who fled thither, and after whom
Gen. Brooke had dispatched a force. As
it is hardly probable that Sitting Bull’s
band will surrender peaceably, there
will probably soon be a report of an
other engagement.
The bodies of the slain—fifteen in all—
were brought into the post—Fort Lin
coln —and viewed by large crowds.
Wait for the* Effect*.
Pine Ridge Agency, S. D., Dec. 16.~
The official report of Sitting Ball’s death
has been, received here. The cavalry at
this i*oint had received orders to start
at 6 o'clock Tuesday Beaming, but Gen.
Miles wired orders tQrwaitsnd see the
effect of Sitting Ball's death on the
Indians here, one knows just when
the troops will move, but they are kept
in constant readiness to start. A lively
time is lookea for when the Indians hear
of the fate of their great leader. Gen.
Brooke, however, scouts the idea that
there is the slightest danger of a local
outbreak at the agency. ,
Worth Dakotan* Apsrebeii»l«e.
Bismarck, N. D., Dec. 10.— The
country around here is terribly wrought
up over the killing of Sitting Bull. In
stead of creating an easy feeling it has
aropeed much apprehension. It is feared
that many families of settlers will feel
the vengeance of fitting Bulla follower*.
Sitting Bull’s sob, who was killed, waa
a bright youth only twelve years old;
It is expected that the settlers will fioeg
to Bismarck and Mandan by the hun
dreds as soon as the news of Sitting
Bull's death is known.
Bring tho Trouble* to a lt« ad.
Washington, Dec. i7.— Secretary
Proctor said he thought the killing of
Bitting Bull would have the effect of
briufcmg the Indian troubles to a bead,
anti that very speedily.
IRISH FACTIONS FIGHT.
Moil* P*ra«li •mi Ok?Ut SfVftrel? lojuiad
In Biot* at Ballynahil).
Dublin, Dec. 16.— Intense excitement
»
was created here by the report that a
seTious riot had taken place at Ballyna
hiU, where Mr. Parnell and Mr. Davitt
were both holding meetings of their
factions Mr. Parnell and Mr. Davitt
were speaking at the same place at the
same time. Bo close together were the
meeting placet that the voices of the or
ators of one part> were plainly audible
to those of the others. The speeches
were of a most violent character, and
the words of the speakers were inter
rupted by cheers.
j, l>t*uU.iiig Jrvm aiut i>t-ii«ut L’ri**, .
Mr. Parnell’s appearance was the signal
tor a mighty outburst of applause from
his adherents. While Mr. Parnell wa«
speaking there were m any bghts going
on in the square. The melee became
almost general, blackthorns and ash
Slant sticks being used vigorously. Mr.
iavitt took a proupneut part iu the
fighting and soou sorted for the wagon
from which Mr. ParneliNma speaking.
He received many blows and was pretty
badly used up bofoie he was compelled
to desist from hife purpose of meeting
Parnell face to face. After the row the
ParnoU party drove to Castle Comer,
and Davitt and Tanner soon made their
appearance there also. While speaking
at this place another row occurred.
During the scrimmage some one &, V ..
Threw ■ Beg of Lime at Paraell.
It stttaok him fnli in the face, and the
lime.tilled his eyes, blinding him and
causing him intense pain. His carriage
was just driving away when , the lime
was thrown. After riding some distance
he was obliged to alight at a laborer’s
cabin in a fainting condition. A doctor
was called, bnt could do little to aasnage
the pain. He urged that Parnell should
be driven immediately to Kilkenny for
ntoper treatment. The start was made,
but Mr. Parnell was unable to endure
the agony, and another stop had to be
made at a hotel on the road, where
another doctor endeavored to relieve
the sufferer by applying castor oil to his
eyes and attempting to scrape off the
lime with the point of a lead pencil.
Borne slight relief was thus afforded,
and Mr. Parnell finally reached the Vic
toria hotel in Kilkenny where he had to
be led to a room, being unable to nse
his eyes. A surgeon was summoned,
who states that all the lime is removed
from the eyee, bnt that Mr. Parnell is
still suffering greatly and will probably
be disabled for a time. He anticipates
that the results will not be serious.
Dublin Rsclted.
In this citytrowds surround the bulle
tin boards, and punctuate the reading of
the news with hostile crys and taunts.
Policemen pass rapidly to and fro dis
persing the knots of angry men and in
sisting on a constant movement. A
rumor has just been put in circulation
that the ' troope of the garrison have
been ordered to be held in their bar
racks, ready at a moment’s notice to
protect the city or march into the prov
inces. The rumors have not, as yet,
been officially corroborated.
HURON BANK FAILURE.
A Sonih Dnkota National Bank Clouee It*
Huron. 8. D., Dec. 16.—A profound
sensation occurred here by a notice on
the door of the Huron National bank
announcing its snsfiension. Until last
