Indian Outbreak Threatened at Fort Keno.
WASHINGTON, June 22d-The War De-
partment has received reports fro2i Fort
Reno, |. t., dated the 18th instant, to the
effect that great excitement prevails at that
place over threatened outbreak by the
Cheyenne Indians. 1t is known the South
ern Cheyennes are making preparations to
go on the war path, and troops have been
dispatched to oyerawe the turbulent In
dams. War Department officials are not
informed as to the cause OF the threatened
outbreak. If these Indians go on the war
path there will be great difficulty in quiet
ing them. The Cheyennes are reported to
be as troublesome to deal with as are the
Apaches The country, however, in which
the former live would be more advanta-
geous to soldiers pursuing them than is the
rough rocky country in which the latter
are being followed.
TROOPS ORDERED TO THE SCENE OF DISTURB
ANCE.
WASHINGTON, June 22d.-News was re-
ceived at the War Department late this
afternoon, to the effect that the difficulty
with the Cheyenne Indians is becoming
very serious General Anger has ordered
four companies of the Fifth Cavalry to go
to the scene of disturbance, in addition to
the companies previously sent to Fort
Reno. This makes ten companies at Fort
Reno, and three additional companies are
held in readiness TO go at moments no.
tice. Anger recommends the appointment
of q Commission to ascertain the cause of
the discomfort.
The Southern Cheyennes are located in
the western portion of the Territory. The
country is level and devoid of trees, except
along the streams. Owing to its great ex-

1t is believed here that the Indi-
ans are well supplied with arms and
ammunition. The last trouble with the
Cheyennes occurred about nine wears ago,
and continued for more than a year 1t
was caused by the Indians of that tribe
massacreing q portion of a family moving
overland from Georgia. The massacre oc-
CURED in Kansas The father, mother and
daughter were killed, and the four remain
ing children taken captive. The daughter
who was killed, before she was captured
took the life of an Indian with an ak as
he attempted to get into the wagon in which
the children were gathered. Prior to this
massacre the Cheyennes became unfriendly
towards the whites. A number of men.
disguised as Indians, had burned a bridge
| on the Kansas Pacific Railroad, for the pur-
pose of stopping train, that they might
plumber it. After the destruction of the
bridge soldiers were sent to capture the men
implicated. An officer CHANGED one day to
see an Indian standing alone at a distance.
He drew nearer, fired and killed him. The
Indian was son of Lone Wolf, the great
Cheyenne chief. When he was buried 400
ponies were killed above his grave. Though
Lone Wolf himself did not participate in
the outbreak which followed his sons
death, it was thought that the shooting of
the young Indian greatly influenced the
tribe to 90 on the warpath. The massacre
Of the Georgia family followed, and one
years fighting was the result.
Indian Affairs in Southern Oregon.
WASHINGTON, June 22d-Gen. pope has
transmitted to the War Department an ac-
count Of the killing OF a Piute Indian
named Joe. by two white men, in Happy
Valley, Oregon. In commenting upon the
killing, Cen Pope again invites attention
to the white and Indian outrages which are
increasing in frequency in the southern
part of Oregon. He says the Piutes, hav-
ing no reservation, are willing to go to and
frequent that country for sustenance by
hunting and fishing. The state of affairs
now existing is certain TO grow worse. and
must finally eliminate in open hostilities,
unless reservation is assigned these In
dams, and they are placed on it. The
Commissioner of Indian Affairs has di-
rected an Agent TO investigate the circum-
stances, and report measures looking to the
protection of the Indiansa

for the temperature was about 600, and a
stiff breeze that had followed the early
morning rain rendered light overcoats ac-

morning threw down the one wire from the
mountain, and thus cut off communica-
