his store and hotel. An intensity Of
bitter feeling exists between the settlers
and Indians, as the settlers have been
greatly annoyed by prowling Indians FROM
this reservation az we'll az from the To-
baccc Plains couutry north of them. A
large number Of Indian womrn and chill
dren are en- route to the agency at Arlee
and this would indicate that tho Indians
were preparing for raid of rapine and
murder. 1t is reported that Or. Cunning
ham was killed. The fact that the Flat

the report of the killing as Clifford il
pcstmaster, Mt that place and the mail goes
through his hands. Great excitement
prevails In that section among the whites
and further particulars are impatiently
awaited. II it is developed that the
