His warriors numbered about eight hundred. These Indians, with their families, by reason of the scarcity of buft'aloes and other wild game, were largely dependent upon their annuities. They were supplied with pro- visions from the commissarj' stores at the Lower Sioux Indian Agency, near Little Crow's village, and they also received their annuities from the agent at this point. The summer of that eventful year was to all appearances very favorable to them, so far as crops were concerned. Their ...many cornfields, of nearly a thousand acres, bore promise of rich yield. We frequently saw the Indians on the tops of the bluffs overlooking our dwelling. They seemed to be watching for something. When questioned they said they were looking for Ojibways. I think they must have held war meetings or councils, for we often heard drums in the evening on their side of the Minnesota river several weeks before the outbreak. Reports came to us that some of the Indians had made a raid upon the eommissaiy stores at the Upper Agency, but we paid little attention to it, thinking it only a rumor.
