For some time past there has b en- small
war going On between The police OF Cheyenne
and the sold's-- ut Fort u. a. Russell. Sew

and no doubt have old <, ndges acaicss some
Of their comrades at the iurt- After pay,
day the soldiers would til onz tho town.
when there would be 4 gcueral HockicE
down and commitment Of the blue coa.s.
The soldiers complain that thcy arc arrested
for ro offence, and that the ob]ec. is to rob
them of their money and valuablet. They
say TINT they are robbed, locked up Tor three
or tour days, or made to work on tho streets,
and lh1t then, when they cet ont aud re-
tnIu to the tert, they are arrested by their
officers, charges preferred sga1nst them for
beirg abscnt without leave, tried BY court
ticnal imprisonment, or TO lose months
pay. This Is hard case, and The luckless
wight who gets caught In Cheyenne hss to
pay dearly ior his visit. Not loag since the
