Indians on the Warpath.
Word has just been received at Fort Keogh,
Mont, that a war party of Blood Indians num-
bering between 200 and 300 bucks, have left
their reservation in Northern Montana and are
travelling south to join the South Piegans for
the purpose of making war on the Crows and
Gros Ventres. These Indians are probably the
same ones who have been raiding ranchmen on
the Upper Mississippi during the present Spring,
and on one or two occasions have come into
contact with the cowboys, when the Indians
were generally routed and some of them killed.
Last year the Bloods and Piegans made con-
tinuous raids on the Crows. capturing from the
latter about 1000 houses during the season.
The enmty between1 Picgans and Crows is of
long standing, but in these mutual raids peace
full white ranchmen living along the route
travelled generally suffer more than either
tribe.
AT the Cheyenne Indian Agency the state of
affairs is anything but pleasant The soldiers,
employees and traders are liable to be attacked
by the redskins at any moment. The Indians
are drilling daily in regular warlike form.
Without prompt and efficient action on the
part of the Government bloody raid and mas
sacre will be the result. The Indians are in
sufficient force to butcher the whites, includ-
ing the troops now stationed there. The In
dians keep their ponies picketed night and day,
and they are well armed and have plenty of am
munition. The people at the agency dare not
attempt to reach the Kansas border
