Fears being expressed in some Of
the Territories that another Indian
outbreak will occur, General Crook
has stated that there is no immedi-
ME cnuse for alarm but that outlook
for the coming year is not improved.
Hc attributes the restlessness Of the
ludians to the stockmen who con-
tinualiy steal their cattle. One year
ogo 1000 head OF stock was stolen
from the Sioux aud the Government
is blamed for this. II these thefts
aro not stopped an outbreak among

such vote upon the question can be
