LOKG PUMPKIN'S PBOTB3T. An Indian Chit ft letter fVhtch Probably TtUt Much Truth. BocussTKfc, N.'Y., Jan. 18-?The Dtmoermt prints A number of letters from Indiaus ^ : at Hoiebu I Agency to Col. L. F. Spencer, formerly Iodisu agent. Among them is v this stratghtforwaid snd notable letter from ne of the chief*. It may be necessary to ^ explain that* when he infers to Ore/ Fox, Long l'umpkin means Qcuersl George Crook, ttyflB^buffalo soldiers" arc the co'emm CoWLTF. Spencer. My Ft lend : I want to te'l you something, f-r the Dakotas have -hid many troubles since you left them and we have jj;/! mourned .very inuoh. Our rations have . grown small and our beef day has gone a long way off. You gave us a beef every twelve sleeps. This was good ; but now one beef goes for ei|hleen sleeps for thirty people and our children starve. You told us it woul 1 be good medicine for our children if we sold ourlaod to the Great Father. We had ears for your works and touched the pen for it, but have not seen any payment. My friend, where aro the schools, ploughs, wagons and oxen? We have not wm ili?m ? as the Great Father's council promised we should, in payment, and while men now say they owu the land. When we sold the B ack Ili'ls Grey Fox told us we could gel sohoole, oxen,, cows, sheep, pig and chickens iu payment, but the oxen aud cows grew old and died before we saw them the pigs ran away, the sheep got lost the ehicken* flew away, and it was ten Summers before we stw a school for our children. Will it bo that way ngnln ! We lose some of our ntims e.ery year, and last summer with no rain was eery bard for us. W aritpwr amijinlUflu ir h~ rrmnd bare otir children TWe. These are my thoughts. But how can we do this when our reservation grows small and wo get no payment. Wheere the Great Father's house is my people oece held c<uncil, but it is not so now. You are the agent we adopted, and ws expect you wdl counsel the Great Father net to throw his red children away. His while obildrcn lire aod are like the grass, while the Indians, like tho antelopes g'ow _ few. We keep the Great Father's words in our ears, but he scorns to forget his payments to us after wo touohcd the pen as you told os to do. Short Bull. Two Strike, Crow Dog, High Hawk and Gray Ea^le Ta 1 are foolish and a few of our young men ha*e listened to them. Tboy joined ihe ghost danoes and eat holy cheese and wear Holy shirts. 1 talked to thorn, but they hid no ears for my words nnd called mo ;i fool and would not listen. When tho buffalo soldiers came they ran away to tho bad lands. Yeu told me to keep my ohildren in school and I do net forget it. My Mend, this is all I have to say. I shake your hand wi'lt a good heart. Your friend, Lono Pumpkin. Rosebud Agency, Dec. 27, 1890. w Itch on human and horses and all animals L,, cured in 80 minutes by Wooliord's Sanitary LLotion.
