up war his own responsibility II seems, from the
explanations of the editor othe Platte Argus that band
of Fox Indians roaming at large in the counties oil
Gentry and Harrison committing depredations the
property of citizens and frequently insulting and terri
the effects of liquor, which is furnished them by whisky
traders, who follow in their wake" II is furthermore
said that he has been induced to order the immediate
mova Of these Indians out of the State by the
ations Of men of high character and standing residing
in the immediate neghborheod Of the scene of action
he Infested region" All this sounds we'll enough
but we should like to know where this militia General
gets his authority to commence such scts OF hostility
against these Indians, any body else Would it not
be quite we'll Cor the General employ himself in
finding out and Furnishing the scoundres who sell wills
ky to the Indians thereby causing them insult the
and children instead Of taking upon himself call
out the militia and punish the Indians Isl. Louis Re
