A RAwLINs, Wyoming, special of the 4th
says: at is stated that the shoshones and Ban
mock Indians at Wind River, 120 miles north Of
Rawlins, broke out upon the departure Of the
two companies OF the Third Cavalry from
Washakie, which Is the agency post. There
were about 1000 Indians on that reservation.
All are splendid fighters, and were excellent
scouts under General Crook in his campaign
of 1S76-77 against the Sioux and Cheyennes.
There are several theories of the cause Of that
outbreak; one that the killing of Ute jack
incensed them. The army officers, however,
| believe that they were ready to fight and simply
| took advantage Of the absence of the troops
to take the war-path and leave the reserva-
| tion."
