Burlington tri-weekly hawk-eye. [volume] (Burlington [Iowa]) 1852-1855, 1855-06-01

Accounts from the Plains, received
though differnet channels, agree that the In
dian tribes are assuming very hostile atti-
tude against the whites, 1t is reported how
ever, that the savages seem inclined to act
on the defensive although the preparations
made are of such formidable character as to
leave no doubt that an indscriminate slaugh-
ter Of the whites viii. occur at the first ia
vorable opportunity. We always regard
these stories with much distrust. The ad-
vantages which the frontier people derive
from the presence Of government troops, and
the opportunities which Indian wars afford
for laying hands ubon Uncle Sans money
furnish strong inducement for exaggeratig,
difficulties on the border.
