PARK HILL, Sept, 90, 1884,


:" am well aware that few mercenary and
disorderly citizens of this Nation, have been ac.
lively engaged for some time past, in attempts to
mlsrepresent the feelings and policy of ma iorty
OF the Cherokees, and to create prejudice and ex.
citement against them, among the people on our
frontier. The objects these individuals have
in view are entirely selfish. They wish to ingra
tate themselves into the favorable opinion of YOUR
ctIzensin order to screen themselves from the pub
lie indignation which must inevitably fall upon
those who have rencently been engaged in mur.
der.
You have doubtless heard, before this, of the
outrage on Friday night last, on the Military Road.
Public suspicion, not without reason. points to
Thomas Starr, Been Starr, Ellis Starr, and Arch.
Sanders, MS the murderers of Mr.. and Mrs. Wore.
and gentleman whose name is not known
These same persons accused, also, of having
murdered, enly, one week before, Mr.. Kelly,
white man. Besides three or four citizens Of the
U. States, some of them were guilty of having
murdered some of their own people. Companies
OF Cherokees have been in close pursuit of these
dividuals. and will continue on the scout, until
they are either arrested and brought to Justice.
or driven out Of thecountry. They have made
their way across the line near Evansville; n
warrant, has there, been taken out for thom, and
placed in the hands of General Wood. We hope
for the active cooperation of the citizens Of your
State in securing these pcrsons."
