The SherifYs and their deputies are very an lous
to catch the guilty idiot who came near causing
the devastation Of defsnceess settlements on
the Rosebud and preeipitating an Indian war
country by the straightforward action OF these
poor Cheyennes But itwould have been shown
that the four Cheyennes. after they had learned
OF the shooting Of their chief. asked Texas
told tS them the L proper thing to do WIS TO burn
who was lying. in camp suffering from his
wound had told them they must not proceed
to rstaliatory measures.
~, The eowmen here are opposed. not ONLY to
want the land these white and rcd settlers ara
not .settlements-aro what they desire The
small holders-the man with q little bunch OF
cattle-is not wanted either. They freeze him
ont ort somehow he loses cattle. Or they arc
dian is blamed for what he had no concern In.
The cowboys who burned the Cheyenne
houses belonging to Black Wolf and his people
on Otter Creek have, not been arrested. .Thcre
Is not much hope that they will be-. What an
opinion the Cheyennes must have OF our JUS
tice and impartiality.
