crossed the Kansas Pacific railroad Sunday
morning going north. When about twenty

commenced killing settlers, and 80 far seven

way at all to kill white people, but if they
meet man on horseback they kill him and
! take his horse. They are eighty or one hun
dred miles north of the Kansas Pacific
with troops pressing them pretty hard.
They have killed no women nor children
and have not thus far mutilated the bodies of
their victims. The report that Lieut. Broder-

agent of Red Cloud Indians, arrived here to-
day on the way to Washington to consult with
the secretary of the interior and President
upon the situation of affairs of the Indians
under his control. His Indians, tired of wait
ing for permission to move to White Clay, have
abandoned their agency on the Missouri river
and gone back 100 miles in the country and
are camped on Pass Creek. They say they will
remain there until they hear from Washington.
The disafected Indians number over 5000. DR..
Irwin has information which leads him to the
belief that renegade Cheyennes from the South

settlements.
