Bcqucnco Is that they will not only be ex

War Party of Sioux In Xorthern Montana.
Custer (Mont.) special: An army ollicer
arrived from Fort Cuater states that at 3
p. m. Friday a party of Crow Indians rodo
hurriedly into post and reported that they
had been attacked by a war parly ot tho
Sioux, now ia their camp, about tlireo
miles up Little Horn river, nnd in 'the
melee wliieh followed two ot their number
had been killed. Col. Dtirloy, post com
mandment, immediately ordered tho gar
riso under arms, and in a abort time they
wore at tho scene of action, with five troops
ot tlio cavalry. They found two Crow In
diana dead and thirteen moro wounded,
while thu Sioux had lelt Botno of their
warriors dead on tho field, having
beii compelled to abandon them,
evidently owing to the rapid ad
vance ol the cavalry. Detachments
wero aeiit out and a thorough search
wiih made of tlu; hills and ravines in the vi
cinity. The Sioux had mndo good their es
cape, however, and no traco of them could
be found. They nro evidently tlio advance
of tho war party of Sioux which recently
lett Poplar river agency to raid tlio Crows.
Gen. Heath, the special agent nt Poplar
river, notified the authorities of their de
parture, lint was unable to prevent It, as
thero aro only two companies of troops sta

are evidently bent on rovengo. Five Crow
Indiana, who wero captured by Maj. Car

will maintain that it is not entitled to any
land which it clnims, for inatance, in tlio

these hinds are not earned, and tho per

not filed within the time prescribed. This
theory proceeds, of course, upon tlio as
sumption that the road could not earn
any of tho land it it did not earn tho whole

beyond even our present expectutioiis, will
bind Iho two closer together, and indivi
dual association will soften llie asperities,

ways apt to engender local strife, and na

the prompt action of both governments in
