THE CHEYENNEs ON THE WAR PATH.
Report That They are Numbering Settlers on
Tongue Riyer--The Troops in the Field.

Special to the River Press.
MILES CRY, October 26.-A few days
ago Cheyenne chief named Crazy Head
and two braves were arrested on their res
ervation on Tongue river, 100 miles from
here, by the civil officers, charged with
killing sheep of the local raisers. The IN
dians were brought to this city and jailed.
The Cheyennes have been troublesome to
cattle owners for some years and have al-
together developed a spirit Of piunder and
lawlessness. To-day word was received
at the government post that the Cheyennes
had made break and would be reVenged
upon the whites for the indignity put on
their chief by arresting him. 1t is au-
thentically reported that six men We're
killed on the upper river and the women
and children of the settlers are f1yingefor
safety. Three companies of United States
troops have been ordered to the scene OF
the outbreak and are already moving by
forced marches. They can reach there in
day. The agent is Capt. Upshaw. The
agency is not connected by telegraph and
is totally unprotected. There are several
hundred Indians at the agency, rations be-
ing drawn by over 45O.

The Hide of the Old War
Horse is Nailed to the
Democratic Barn Door.
The County Election Close on Sew
eral Of the Candidates and the
Full Returns will be Required
to Determine the Issue.

Below we give as full a report of the
elections as has been received up to the
hour of going to press. The returns from
the out precincts are coming in slowly, as
will be seen by the tabular statement,
which is not half completed.
Judging by the precincts heard from,
however, it is evident chat Toole will have
a large majority, between 300 and 400, in
the county. Al. Rogers, the democratic
candidate for clerk and recorder, is elect
ed by handsome majority, and there is
hardly doubt about the election OF Mr..
TAYLOR to the house, MI. Collins to the
council, Mr.. Hamilton for assessor, Messrs.
Conrad and Wegner for commissioners,
Mr., McIntire for county attorney, and
Miss Finnegan for superintendent OF
schools-all democrats. 1t is ssnip and
tuck" between Harris and Black for sher-
if, Maclay and Minar for treasurer and
Tattan and Leaning for probate Judge,
with the chances little in favor of ''tuck. :"
In some of these contests it will require
the full returns to decide. The tabular
statement herewith presented will be an
interesting study.

ments aggregating $25, 900 were to-day levi
ed on the Miles City Dressed Beef Co, Of
Dustin & Co. The works are closed down
and numerous others attachments will be
levied tomorrow by local creditors who
since the desperate state Of affairs has be-
come known are as thick as the leaves on

led by all parties for something over 900
and the full liabilities Of the firm are sup
posed to be SIS, 900. The senior member of
the firm is now in the East, it is said for
the purpose of making settlement.
The cause Of the failure was on account
of the loss by fire three months ago and
the new abbatoir was built on credit.
Dustin failed to meet the run on his bank
at Lincoln, Lii, yesterday, and the credi-
tors Of the abbatoir placed their attach
ments Immediately.
