onnes are located in the western pOfulOn OF
| the Territory. The country is level n de-
void of trees except along the streams: OWING

ton The last trouble with the Cheyennes
occurred about nine years ago, and contln-
| ued for more han a year. 1t was caused
bv the Indians of that tribe massacrelng a
norton of a family moving overland from
Georqia. The father, mother and daughter
were killed, and the four remaining chill
dren taken prisoner; the daughter, who
was killed before she was captured, TOOK
the life of an Indian with AT ak as he at
tempted to get into the wagon IN
Prior to this horrible 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 thepurpose OF stopping
q 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 a son of Lone Wolf, the great Cheyenne
chief. When he was buried four hundred
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 shoot
ing of the young Indian greatly influenced
the tribe to go on the war path. The
massacre of the Georgia family followed
and one years fighting resulted.
