THREATENED INDIAN WAR.
Ten Thousand Armed Savages lnvit.
ing q Fight.

NEW YORK, March pa dispatch from
Chicago says: An official dispatch received
at military headquarters i'm this city from
Capt. Williams. covers the report of scout i'm
the far north under date of Feb. o. This scout
states that hunting party estimated to mum:
encamped On the Upper Beaver creek below
Dry Fork, and infesting the Falls in the Big
Bend of the Milk river in Montana, northwest
of Fort Benton i'm the reservations Ofthe Black
feet and other Indians. Following up French.
mans creek about 20 miles, the scouts met a
party of half breeds returning from Canada.
The Indians said that before the CheyeHnes
crossed over, they (the fOrmer), had about
2,COO lodges, and the Cheyennes had about l6O
lodges The scouts had often been among
them, and they thought that the above estf.
mate was nearly correct. The Teton Sioux
would average nearer three men to the lodge
than two, which would give about s. 500 or 6. 0lO
fighting men. The Cheyennes were more
crowded, and it was estimated that they had
between 5000 and 5000 warriors. The Indians
told the scouts that as long as no one hunts
us, we will hunt no body, but If any one c)mes
across our path he will get it just the same
meet any OF our soldiers i'm that country they
will fight them if strong enough. Scouts state
that the Indians now have great many
camps extending from Frenchmans creek e.
the Wood Mountain. Wherever there Is Woc
to be found they have camp. The Indians
are reported to be more literally supplied with
ammunition that any Indians the scouts ever
saw. Most of them wear two or three belts
full of cartridges. and many OF them have
bracelets on their arms made like the belt and
filled with cartridges. They told the scouts
that they got all the ammunition they wanted
from traders who came into their camps from
Cypress Hill and Wood Mountain"

There is great excitement, and indignation Is
expressed because the bank received deposits

a large amount of worthless paper for some
time. The president of the bank, who is super

county treasurer also drew out his deposits.
Several depositorS of trust funds are greatly

The Great International Walking
Match.
O'LEARY SIXTEEN MILES AHEAD AT MID

The pedestrian contest "a walk of six days
for f56O, ending Saturday midnight.) has now
become virtually match between OLeary
and Vaughan, all the other competitors being
hOpelessly behind. Brown appears certain of
the third place. but he is exceedingly sleepy.
The two leaders maintain a remarkably steady
average of about four miles an hour. OLeary
walks on track containing eight laps TO the
mile. while Vaughan's contains seven. O'Leary
walks exclusively. Vaughan trots OCCASION
ally, and by this means has twice managed to
slightly reduce O'Leary's lead. This adyant-
age was, however, both times regained. Thus
at seven o'clock in the evening the score stood: !:
O'Leary, 4SSk; Vaughan, 426; but by nine
O'Clock O'Leary had walked 4461 and Vaughan
4ss miles: At midnight OLeary and Vaugh
were both resting. OLeary had scored 457
Vaughan AL, and Brown ISL. Vaughan looks
fresher than O'Leary, but his feet are very sore
and are Swathed in cotton wool. He also suf.
fers somewhat in the knee, but less than
OLeary. Victory seems now almost assured
to O'Leary. The great hope of Vaughan's
supporters was that he might be able to con-
tinue on the track Friday night after o Leary,
reduce the lead by half, and thus be able TO
start ae ain in the small hours of Saturday,
with only about six miles to make up.
