Louis Gazette a report of some Chippeways having come down, and that, in consequence of the advice given by the Indian agent, the Sioux had taken the law into their omi hands and murdered some of the Chip- ueways ; acid that although they had r.ever received redress for the murder of their own people, some of the Sioux were again taken and executed. The aims of the Sioux are the rifle, tomahawk, and bow ; they carry spears more for parade than u.*e. Their bows are not more than three feet long,... but their execution with them is surprising. A Sioux, when on horseback chasing the buffalo, will drive his arrow which is about eighteen inches long, with such force that the barb shall appear on the opposite side of the animal. And one of their greatest chiefs, Wanataw, has been known to kill two buffalos with one arrow, it having passed through the first of the animals, and mortallv wounded the second on the other side o( it. I was about two hundred yards from the fort, and asked a Sioux if he could send his arrow into one of the apertures for air, which were near the foundation, and about three inches wide.
