Probable Extension.

Special to the GIoOe
MILES CITY, May 20.--The citizens Of
Miles City. and in the whole of Eastern
Montana, are at resent disturbed and eXer-
cised over the status of Indian affairs and
the action that the secretary of the interior
proposes taking in the matter of Indian re-
serves around Miles City. On representa-
tions made to the secretary last summer by
the legislature of Montana, by joint reSo-
luton passed last session, and by George r.
Milburn, Esq, citizen and lawyer OF
Mile City, in the matter of the Cheyenne
reservation. on Rosebud river, in Montana,
reached the following conclusion
While it is no doubt proper and right thai
the reservation created for the Northern
Cheyenne Indians, on the Rosebud river i'll
Montana by executive order Nov. 26, 1884
should for the reasons herein stated (referr-
ing to the arguments submitted by COUNSEL
be restored TO the public domain. l think ii
would be better to postpone the action 10 ac-
complish that purpose until more definite :lr-
engagements shall have been made for the
suitable disposition of those Northern Chey-
ennes now located within that reservation.
L. Q. c. LAMAR.
The secretary, now seeing the bluuder
made in establishing q reservation on a
small creek. with an insignificant quantity
of agricultural land, is about to extend the
cheyenne reservation to take i'll the Tongue
river country for distance of some sixty
miles south of the Northern Pacific forty
mile limit, embracing the indemnity limit
of the railroad, and also embracing the
homes, farms and labor-earned improve
ments of very large number of bona fide
settlers. This action, if accomplished, will
be calamity to Miles City and the general
business interests of Montana.
