oNLY'A SCARE AFTER ALL.
Topeka, KS, July S.-The following
dispatch, received this morning by the
governor from IL. X. Nickcrson, divi-
sion superintendent of the Santa Fe
railway, was sent to Mr.. Nickerson by
the station agent at Kingman
Newton, July S.-Thc agent at
Kinginan sends the following dis
patch; The Indian scare assumed
gigantic proportions here yesterday,
and last night hundreds of families
flocked into the town from points as
far west as forty miles, for protec-
ton. Several scouting parties have
been out rs far as thirty miles, and
the further out they go, the further
off the Indians are. There is
no trace of Indians or any ev-
idence of their having been nearer
kingman than the Territorial
line and no damage has boon done.
THERE'S general scare, but its origin
cannot be traced. A party named
Jones, was down TO the territory line
and heard that the Indians were on
the move, and OH his way back TO
Pratt county he met neighbor
named Smith, who told him that the
Indians were coming. Smith saw
Brown and Brown saw friends, and
thus the story grew and the excite
ment increased. The settlers have all
started back for their homes.
