INDIAN AFFAIRS. A Battle Between the Montana Tribes— Sacreduess of a Red Warrior's Promise— Death Before Dishonor—Tragic Death of Standing Budalo—Afairs at the Mik River Agency. Fort Browstno, M, T., MILK River Agency, June mee "} Colonel J. A. VIAL, Superintendent Indian Amairs, Helena, M, T.:— Stz—I have the honor to report that Standing Buifalo, Chief of the band of Santee Sioux, who came to this Agency early in May last, and with whom I arranged terms of amity and frienaship, was killed in a battle with the Gros Ventre and Upper Agrsiniboin Indians on tne sth instant. I have visited ana talked with the parties engaged in the conflict on both sides and learn the following particulars:—A war party of Yanctons came up from Medicine Bear's camp—a large camp of hostile Yancton Sioux spoken of in my letter to Commissioner Parker, dated May 17, 1871— to the encampment of Standing Buffalo, and urged him to join them in a@ ratd on the Gros Veutres, They talked over the matter two days, and offered Standing Buffalo four horses and other presents if he would jom them and lead the party; but he’ refused, stating that he had pledged his word to me that he and none of hig people would go to war. The Yanctons abused end derided him, and finally told him he was acoward and no chief if he listened to the whites and refused to lead them to war. At last Standing Baflalo became wild with rage and excitement and declared be would go to war, but he would go to die, He then made disposition of all his horses, pro- perty and other effects, giving everything Peat rel- atives and friends; counselie:t his brotner and his son and the head men of his tribe to lstenavhen | taiked to them, and to abide faithfully by the terms they had made; that he would never return; would die in battle. He started out and inet a large party of Gros Ventres and Assiniboins, far superior to his own in numbor, on a plaim and charged them, He dashed into their midst himself on his horse, and, without tiring @ shot, began striking the enemy with his “coo-stick.”” He was hit with about thirty shots and fell. As soon as I heard of the conflict I visited both camps and the baitle field, and succeeded tn making peace between them. Eighteen were killed on both sides and about the same number wounded, The Santees blained the Yanctons for the loss of their (chief. and a very bitter feciing prevailed be- tween them, which resulted in a spiitin tle camp. Those who favored the war and were not disposed to abide by the terms they had made with me were driven away and went below to join Medicine Bear's band, on Milk River, forty miles oelow the ageac The Gros Ventres and Assiniboins acted on the di fensive and did not desire to continue the contitet, if the Sioux would let them alone. | brought the Santees to the agency and removed them across Milk Kiver to the north side, All appeais to them to go back to the lower country aud their oid agencies are entirely unavailing; they are deter- mined to remain on Milk River, and [am now con- fident that they desire peace with us, and that they will behave themselves by fair and liberal weatment on our part. From what I can learn of the former tustory ot these people from themselves and other Indians it appears Standing Builaio was engaged in the out- break in Minnesota nine years ayo, and alter the war he led lis people across into the British Posses- sions, where he remained several years. During the last five or six years he has ranged in Northeastern Montana, generally on the Missouri Kiver. Indi- viduals and families from reservavions and other bands nave joined him at various tiwes and become absorbed in his tribe, Many of his people have died from wars and famines, but they are numerical'y pA i than wien they lett Minnesota. He wa3 called by the people Tah-turga-ne-sua (Standing Buflaio Bull), Tuis ts the frst agency he had come to, aud the first place he had made since leaving Minnesota In 1862. ‘The depredations committed along the Missourt River for several years past, charged to thts band, Were mostly done by Medicine Bear and the bad ones "in this camp, Wno have now been expelled. The Santees were determined to have the remains of their late chief, and on the 13th inst. had organized @ party of avout five hundred warriors to proceed to the battle field to obtain them. Knowing if this was done the war would be renewed and would be very likely to result in depredations and attacks upon whites, I dissuaded them trom it by Dledging myself if they would abandon the project I woul rocure the bones myself before winter set In and inver them at the agency. In order to redeem this. pledge I sprocured the services jof an Assiniboin who Was in the dght to go wit me to the battle- field and point out the remains of the chief, which were found to be in sucha state of decomposition as to preclude immedia:e removal; but I have as- sured them 1 will redeem the pledge within the time specified.
