The required shade was brought.

so continued her inquiries fol every con.

After early an hour had been consumed
the fair shopper gathered up her hand

the exhausted proprietor.

Iudian M4..Aorss in Southern Kan.a.

An officer who came through with Agent
Miles of the Cheyenne and Arapahoe In
dian agencies, and who was an eye-wit-
ness to some of the brutal massacres which
have been committed by the Indians along
the route, arrived in the city yesterday.
From this gentleman some rather more
minute details of the horrors seen were
obtained than was telegraphed by Agent
Miles, who remains at LeavenWorth in
readiness 10 accompany the forces TO be
sent out by General Pope to punish the
marauding bands that may be found In
formation Of dspredations committed by
the Indians was received at Fort Sill be-
fore our informant left thatpost The In
dians in the vicinity of Sill were still quiet.
but General Davi6soH, the commander of
the post, had his troops well in hand and
ready 10 go out at any moment.
He has doubtless since sent Colonel
Carlton with Company X Of the Tenth
United States Cavalry to Cheyenne Agen-
cy, some seventy-fVe miles northwest of
Sill, in compliance with a request from
Agent Miles. Hostile Indians had pre-
viously made their appearance in the vi
cinity Of the agency aHd killed and scalped
William Watkins thirty miles south OF the
agency.
The Indians subsequently, attacked
Kingfsher's ranch, killed one white man,
and corralled the rest of the men, but soon
gave it up. The savages then passed on,
and between Kingfsher's ranch and Nose
ley's ranch they attacked train, killing
four men. Three men were shot and seal
ped. One nan was tied to q wagon, seal
ped alive, and burnt to crisp Our in
forment describes the scene as heart-sick-
ening. The poor fellow was burned over
9 slow FIRE, the fuel being a sack OF oats
placed under the quivering body. a moro
cruel death can hardly be conceived. His
hands were burned of and strips Of Aesh
around his feet were partially destroyed
by the FIRE.
One of the victims was evidently chased
by the hends some distance from the road
and pierced with arrows and bullets. The
men at Moseley's ranch witnessed tho
murder and attempted to recover the bod
les three times. The Indians drove them
off, but while the men were being mount
ed on fresh horses the Indians escaped.
at Lees store the Indians attacked them
twice. They killed several horses and had
one Of their own number killed. The peo-
pie at Caldwell were much excited when
our informant arrived there, and they had
a company Of civilians organized and
guard on duGy night and day. Major Up
| ham the Sixth United States Cavalry
reached Caldwell on the 9th inst, and left
the following day for Medicine Lodge. It
is believed that the Indians on the present
raid are composed Of Cheyennes, Kiowas,
and Comsnches, led by the chiefs Kicking
Bird, Lone Wolf and Big Tree. Il Is
thought that they comprise three or four
bands, numbering from eighty 70 hun
dred warriors in each band The ponies
Of the Indians are in good order. and this
is just he time Of the year for the young
bucks 10 go out for little pastime.

CANTON STARK COUNTY OHIO, THURSDAY, July 90 1874

| ted. The war was resumed by the In
! dians in 1868, Littlo Crow having been
active during the interval in stirring them
up to renewed strife. Generals Sibley
and Sully led two expeditions against
them 10 the Upper Missouri Several bat
ties were fought with the Sioux between
the oath of July and the Sd of September.
On the latter date they were routed, and
with this del4at the war ended. Little
Crow was killed IN the course of the cam
paign. All the tribes in Minnesota were
soon after removedeto reservations in Da-
kota Territory and elsewhere.
The Cheyenne war OF 1854 began in No
vembeT of that year with the wanton mas
saere of 100 Of the tribe, men, women and
children, at Sand Greek village, Col, by
Chiyingten. This war lasted for nearly
yeaI.
After treaty ofpesce had been made,
fresh troubles broke out with the "Dog
Soldiers" part of the Southern Cheyen-
mes, General Hancock, in 1867 having
burned their villages on Pawnee Fork.
Black Kettle was the leader Of the Chey-
ennes, and at battle on the Washita the
Indians were defeated. Black Kettle WAS
among the killed. During this war, which
may be regarded as the last Waged with
the Indians, with the exception of the
Modoc war last year, and which is too re-
cent to need further reference, 800 soldiers
and settlers lost their lives.
The figures representing the cost Of some
of these wars are startling indeed. The
Seminole war, wherein during the seven
years Of strife 20,00S whites were arrayed
against 1860 warriors, assisted by 250 of
their negro slaves, involved an expense of
$50 100000 on account of the militia and
volunteers engaged, or for compensation
to citizens for losses incurred. The regu-
lar army expenditures were obout $10,-
000,000. The cost of the Sioux war Of
1862 8 IN Minnesota was also about $l0,-
100000. The Cheyenne war that follow |
ed the Chivington massacre cost over $780, !
600 000-some accounts, indeed, placing |
the cost at 100000. The Modoes IN
der Captain Jack, mere handful of men, |
were subdued at coat Of several millions. |
These data are sufficient to indicate what |
vast expenditures in money are necessary |
10 subdue the indians when they break |
out into warfare II the figures Of all the |
Indian wars which have occurred since |
the formation Of the Government were col |
lated the total cost Of these wars to the |
