the scene and trail of the Indians at MeZ-

The question IS now, what should be
done with this band of Indians; Little
Wolf and partyincludedy There.are in,th!s
vast vast Territory many ranchmen, but their e
ranches. being situated SO far apart, they
have 10 chance whatever Of calling assist ass t
anlce. Now are are these hostiles to be; al
lowed, after a short period Of confinement,
to 90 at liberty and commit at viii the
depredations they wish q? 7 hope not IN
my opinion these sayages sheuld be be made mad:
to pay the death penalty as well as q white
taan. d The country should know that all
enlisted man in the seryics ofsthe, United
States has been the real captor OF this
chief, would, recommend that the goX-.
eirnrinilent acknoMled dge the services render
