ter was broken and realized that her pain

HELENA. Mont. June 12.-The reports Of
threatened Indian hostlities in eastern Mon

crime committed was the killing OF Robert
Ferguson. foreman OF the Ramsay Cattle
Company. on May 6. The guilty Indians were
arrested. and are awaiting trial at Miles City.
Recent movements OF a band OF Cheyennes
led to suspicion that they were making ready

PROMPT measures to check the outbreak II

Exaggerated rumors scared a number Of ex-
