threatened with death anyone who
should report for enrolment; at the
same time placing three OF their num-
Der as guards over the agents Office.
They also stopped work on the farms
aud threatened Dyer with death If he
persisted in carrying out his orders.
They openly declare that Dyer must
go as he restricts their liberties.
Dyer, however, has simply been try
ing TO keep them at work.
On Wednesday night. after mid
night, a party of painted "dog" sol
diers rode in.o the agency aud called
for the agent. They were told he had
gone over to Fort Reno and after n
short council the lndiars rode away

who cut the telegraph wires at the
cantonment. Officers at Fort Reno
say 1t is the Intention to bring all
these disorderly bands into subsection
aud they are awaiting the arrival of
achievements which nave been or
dered, as greater force must be con-
ccntrated at Fort Reno or the canton
