" THE WHEAT CROP. Reports From Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska And Dakota, A General Falling Off Reported in All the Above States. National Associated Presy Cuicaco, July 23, — Unofticial but reliable crop reports have been receiy- ed from the principal wheat bearing districts of Tllinois, Wisconsin, Min- nesota, Towa, Nebraska and Dakota. In Illinois nearly every county reports a decrease in the area since last yoar and in many localities the unfavorable weather and other cereal evils have made the crop neatly a failure. On a fair average the crop will be from one to two-thirds as much as in average years, In Towa the acreage has greatly fallen oft. T state complains of everyth that affects the wheat crop. Fifty-one counties report an acreage of one-third less than last season. In many of these the crop will not be over eight bushels to the acre, In the northern districts of Wiscon- sin chinch bugs and extreme heat have caused great damage to the growing crops. About two-thirds of a crop is exeected. 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 are fair to firsv-class. Twenty bushels to the'acre is the highest estimateZon the yield. These figures are given on about ten per cent. of the crop. The shortage in acreage over last year is placed at 30,000 acres. Millers are looxing to Dakota Territory for their chiet sup- ply. Here the prospects are more re- assuring. The yield is placedat fifteen bushels to the acre. Red river valley will produce 5,000,000 bushels. In Nebraska the yield per acre is less 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 Jowa and parts of Illinois. SIYTING BULL. Career of the Chicf--His Character- istios and Campaigns. In an interview with a member vof Gen. Terry's staff, it was learned that his earliest recollection of Sitting Bull as a leader was 1n 1866, when the re- port came from Buford thut the gar- rison 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 means 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 ona horse stealing expedition. From that time Sitting Bull began to be ranked as a leader of the hostile Sioux—indeed it has ever been his boast that he would never go upon a reservation or make peace with the whites, but the singular fact remains that no one has ever known of a well authenticated instance of this chief being in the thick of a fight. WHEN HARD KNOCKS MIGHT BE EX- PECTED, s His forte has ever been to steal horses and ponies, raid -defenseless ranches and carry off such stores, public and private, as he could con. veniently lay hands on. Evyer hostile and a malcontent, he was the nucleus about whom gathered the well-fed, fiery young bucks from the reserva- tions, who as soon as grass was green would set forth on their annual round of plunder until at last the signs of disaffection at the largeragencies,such as Red Cloud, Spotted Tail, Standing Rock, ete., containing then some 40,- Indians, became so marked that a general outbreak was feared unless steps were taken to compel these out- laws to settle down atsome designated point. Accordingly the secretary of the interior in December, 1875, noti- fied these hostiles that they must «come in to the reservations on or be- fore the 31st of January, 1876, “or a military force would be 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 militaryauthorities for such action as might be deemed proper, and THE CAMPAIGN OF 1876 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, whero the hostile were supposed to be, the two former under Gen. Terry and the latter under Gen, Crook. On the 27th January of January, 1876, Gen, Crook's column, while descending the Rosebud, was boldly attacked by a large force of warriors, and after a fight which last- ed into the night, beat off the enemy; but the veneral jconcluded to retire with a loss of nine dead and twenty- one wounded, Meantime Gen John Gibbon, Seventh infantry, with a force of 450 men, was marching from Fort Ellis, Montanta, down the vnlley of the Yellowstone to meet Gen, Terry, who, with 1,000 men, was then as- cending the same valley, and as soon, as communication was established it was determined, June 21, to detach the Seventh cavalry under Gen. Custer by a circuit to the upper Rosebud and the Little Big Horn, where the entire command was to meet on a day ap- pointed. Of the disaster that tollow- ed the moment when the brave but rash Custer, 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 Bitting Bull’s part in this battle the best informed are now agreed that it was, for an Indian, neither conspicuous nor glori- ous, SITTING BULL WAS IN THE REAR and at that part of the village at- tacked by Major Reno, and immedi- ately after the fight opened gave or- ders to the old men and squaws to | pack up and leave, and this was actually in progress, when a threat- ening message came by runners from Crazy Horse, who was fighting Custer three miles away at the other end of the village to this effect: “Don't go; we are getting away with the soldiors,’ which so inspirited the warriors that a furious attack was at once made on Reno, and he was driven back and compelled to retreat to the bluff across the river. On General Terry's arrival the Indians retreated, and among the spoils of the camp was found a fine elk robe, which, from the totems or marks upon it, was thought to belong to Sitting Bull, and the re- port was started that he was among the slain. To determine the truth of this ru mor, a number of scouts and Indians were examined, whose various de- scription of the chieftain's personal appearance might have answered for anybody from George Washington to | John Brown, the most accurate and truthful, however, being that of Half-Yellow-Face, a Crow scout, who HAD KNOWN SITTING BULL FROM HIS YOUTH, when he used to wander around the boundary of w was then the Crow reservation, looking for ponies. His description of Sitting Bull's peculiarities wae very vigorous—the low, squatty figure, his walking en the outer edge of one foot owing to a wound in the sole, the dark, almost Ethiopian complexion, the remarka- ble width between the cheek bones and the pointed chin—all conspiring to make up a personnel at once pecu- liar and typical. FHE EVENTS OF 1877, The Nez Perces campaign of 1877, with 1ts opening, stirring fight at Big Hole, Howard’s long and arduous pursuit, and Miles’' final success in capturing Joseph and his band, to- ether with the later fight with Lame eer's Sioux at Bear Paw mountain, in which troops under the last-men- tioned commander were engaged, claimed principally the attention of the public in connection with Indian affairs, It will be remembered that a8 Chief Joseph and his brave follow- ers advanced eastward, grave fears were entertained that Sitting Bull would recross the boundary, form a junction with the Nez Perces, and aid in crushing the common enemy and many were the reportsreceived — first, that such junction was about to be made and then that it had been ac- complished. But Sitting Bull had no notion of taking up any quarrel not distinctively his own. He knew full well that Joseph, beside being as wise in council and as powerful as himself. was a skillful general and a brave sol- dier, not only planned a fight but took a leading part therein, a role to which the Sioux leaders nuvur‘}mrticulnrly aspired. To all the pleadiags 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 here; youare welcome; BUT THIS IS YOUR FIGHT NOT MINE. Youmust not expect that any of my warriors will go across the border to help you.” These, in fact, were his very words, and he consis- tently lived up to their import. Had he 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 un effortto effect by diplomacy what arms had failed to bring about, and to send to Sitting Bull a commission of dignity 8o un- impeachable that he would necessarily attach weight to its promises and pre- sentations. Accordingly, leave having been obtained from the British authorities, —who were then, as they have since been, anxious fo get rid of the wily old chief and his hungry- horde of followers—for the entrance of such commission, Ge Terry, United States army, and Hon. A. G. Lawrence of Massachusetts, who had been duly constructed mem- bers of the peaceful embassy, pro- coeded with an escort to the British line, and were met by Col. McLeod of the Northwestern Mounted police, who, with a battalien of his force, guided them to Fort Walsh. Much trouble was expericnced in getting Sitting Bull and his leading 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 red received the dis- tinguished gentleman, refusing to shake hands with them as the first mark of his disapprobation and next insisting that Gen. Terry should sit in front of the table, in plain view, and that he should try and speak the truth to the assembled chiefs. The general then presented the reasons why the hostiles should cease their hostility, and become agency Indians, gave a forceful presentment of what had been done to others who had sur- rendered—how well they had been 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 be designated, not only would they be protected from harm but many privileges would be granted them and substantial support afforded, the proceeds from the sale of their mies being applied in their behoof, ' the condition precedent, that arms and ponies should be surrendered, Sitting Bull replied only by a sneering smile, and when called upon for his answer said ‘‘No,” emphatically and impudently. The commussion was a failure and nothing of good was there- by attained, not tl m)u;fh any fault of its members, but niml) ly because Sit- ting Bull and his 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 he so much prized. DURING THE YEAR 1878 Sitting Bull remained quietly on the northern side of the boundary line; or if he 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 a reconnoissance in force was made north of the Missouri, with no special result, however, and as the hostiles seemed inclined to keep the peace, op THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, - - | time suspended by orders from Gen. Sherman. The Bannock troubles during the year and the hostile atti- tude of a remnant of the Nez Perces, engaged attention to the exclusion of Sitting Bull's monopoly of frontier 1n- terest. The fact was fully recognized however, that so long as he remained at large and nccessiblo, so long would it be 1mpossibie to prevent agency Sioux from joining him, more espe- cially during the season ot buffalo hunting, and as it is a universally rec- ognized fact that an Indian absent from lus proper reservation without leave is a hostile de jure and de facto, his capture or surrender was still re- gurded as a consummation devoutly to be wished, and any means looking to- ward the end desired would have been eagerly used by the military authori- ties, THE YEAR 1870 HAD SCARCE OPENED ‘ero reports began to be received from northern Montana that large bands of Sitting Bull's Indians were there, having crossed the line as soon as travel was possible, that some depre ions had been committed —confined principally to the killing of cattlo and stealing of horses —and more were im- minent. The cordon of forts o menced in 1877 was now almost ¢ plete, and it was not believed that the former scene of the Sioux troubles, the Yellowstone valley and thoso of its tributaries, would be entered by the hostiles as they would have eve reason to fear decimation if not ture in toto. Above the cordon, how- over, they secned to be ablo to roam at their own sweet wills, aud the stores of government supplies at Poplar river and other outlying stations were never safe from their raids. In view of these and cognate facts, Gen. Terry deemed it advisable that Gen, Miles take the field again in person and with suflicient troops to meet and overcome any body of Indians however large. On 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 unassigned re- cruits, a goodly sized detachment of scouts, and friendly Indians and sev- eral preces 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 for the whites, as they were largely outnumbered, had not the near ap- proach of the main body frightened Sitting Bull, whe was in command in person, and he withdrew his forces to the north bank of Milk river, thence retreating to the British possessions. Many cavtives were made, Lowever, and the “Il)yc““imm of that summer were the beginning of the end, as ever thereafter there appeared a spirit of dissatisfaction among the Sioux known as the hostiles proper, fostered eagerly by such chiefs as Gall and Rain-in-the-Face, who had long viewed, jealously, the power of a leader whose right to absolute com- mand they had many times disputed. Another gratifying result of the cam- paign of 1879 was the capture or dis- L)erml of many small bands of half- reeds, who had, by their nefarious traflic with the hostiles, whom they kopt 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 Gen. Miles that there need be no further appre- hension of inraids by hostile parties. These assurances were afterwards borne out by the facts. ¥ ATIFYING RESULTS IN 1880, brought about by the subtile yet pow- erful agencies of hunger and want, and aided by the attitude of the Brit- ish authorities, who refused longer to suffer the hostiles to come 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 ever before, and the surrender to Gen. Miles in autumn, of Rain-in-the-Face, and many other chiefs with thonsands of followers, who were safely corraled at Fort Keogh, gave assurance that the backbone of the recalcitrants’ opposi- tion was broken and the problem on the verge of solution. When Rain- in-the-Face crossed the line and sur- rendered, Gall and his hundreds crossed also, but went to Poplar Creek 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, Ilges persuaded them out of the woods and into custody with his frost-bitten sol- diers and his Hotchkiss gun. Crow King and his bands, persuaded by Seout Allison, whose efforts to gather in the entire outfit have often and re- cently been detailed, made a virtue of necessity and were sent to join at Buford. Bitting Bull, promising to come in and acting in bad faith, as usual, and retreating to his old camp- ing grounds at Moody mountains. LED 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 he had supposed he could conhdently count for moral support and substan- tial sustenance, o was deterred from surrendering by two things: First and foremost, his unwnqueruglu 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 lest bodily punishment, probably death, would be meted out to him by the au- thorities he had so long and 8o suc- cessfully set at defiance. But fate has been too strong for him, and the expenditure of hundreds of lives and mifi]iuun of money has at last borne fruit. The ‘“‘Bull that Sits Down” will go down into history as a wily counselor, and for a long time success- DISASTROUSLY 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 WILL BD MADE OF SITTING BULL it is yet too early to say, and many grave considerations will have to be erations against them ~were for the carefully weighed before a decision is reached. Standing Rock, theother capturedand surrend’td Sioux have lately been removed, isthenatural home of the captured chief, as it is of all the l'nva]uru. but the hostiles therein will to-day lose their identity as such, since they are to be turncd 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 be deemed wise to send Sitting Bull to Standing Rook and place him at once on the footing of an agency Indian is yot to be seen. It is not likely that he will be dignified by a separate maintenance, though a spec ial guard may be deemed expedient, at least for a time. Maj. McLaugh lin, who will assume charge of Stand ing Rock ageccy about the 5thof Au gust, is learned 1n all Indian ways, is respectod by all the Sioux, and is cred ited with a sk d firmness in their management likely to produce the best results, Possibly it may be thought best to confide Sitting Bull to his keeping, and he has plenty of aborigi nal policemen to secure strict watch and ward over him and prevent an cs cape, which, it is far from unlikely, will be premeditated ere next sum mer wanes away. TERRY'S GREAT SATISFACTION at the “conclusion of the whol matter” goes without saying, though he does not hesitate to express | freely. His feelings will be shared not only by every oflicer and soldicr in tho army —their wives and children of course, included - but by every| frontiersman in the country from Texas to Washington territory, and by the tax-payers all over the countr) whether they adhere to the peace policy or no.~ Sitting Bull's influence | for evil, throughout all the aboriginal tribes, has been immense, since his | nomadic and unrestrained life las served as a constant lure to those who, try as they will, cannot subdue cn- tirely the instincts to go and do like wise, born in them and growth of their growt} Nearly a Miracle.
