wiser but poorer than when they left
a great deal has been published and
telegraphed over different parts Of the
country regarding The sO-called In
dian outbreak, much of which had a
tendency TO cause feeling Of uneasi-
ness and 10 frighten the citizens of
the border counties 10 such an extent
that it will be quite while until ii is
all over. Our town is situated on the
borders of the neutral strip and the
Indian Territory, end when it is taken
into consideration we have no tele-
graph connections with the outside
world il is not to be wondered at that
we should have been somewhat
alarmed. How near few Indians out
on a hunting expedition came to us
! AIN not prepared TO say, but do
hn"Y that none were seen in this To-
c;,.ify nor for some distance down in
the Territory or strip. A goodly
number of soldiers are now stationed
near here, and if any one has been
frightened away by these highly COL
red reports want TO assure them
that there is positively no danger, for
should an outbreak occur the govern
'nent troops could qucl! the disturb
ance in very short time, besides we
are well armed here and have enough
force to cope with quite band of saw
ages. | think, however, it will be a
long time before the redskins show up
in Englewood or vicinity.
