Agent Upshaw's Warning.

That Major Upshaw realized the danger
OF the situation is evidenced by his CORE
spondence with Commissioner Morgan. In
one of his letters to Morgan, Agent Upshaw
says:
of the affairs of this agency reported that
all or nearly all of the adult males of these
Indians We're armed. Subsequently have
reported on several occasions that the game
on the reservation, if collected, would not
afford them sustenance for one week,
These Indians are all armed with Spring
neld carblnes, a better weapon than either
OF the armies in the late civil war were
armed with q can speak confidently for the
confederate army. The fact that they are
armed is menace to the white settlers in
the vicinity and to the employees, police and
agent; IN TACT, they can command. This
state of affairs is not conducive to Good
government and to the best interests of civ
,hzation. | respectfully suggest that suf-
nclent military force be sent here to thor
oughly, disarm every Indian and kept here
until the fact is we'll ascertained, and that
the ration-especially of beef-be SO in
creased as to supply them with a sufficiency
to live upon without resort to the chase. If
they are allowed to retain their arms
the agent employees and police will
ne more or less dominated by the bad In
dams. The settlers will be in a constant
state OF alarm, stock will suffer, and an In
oian war may at any moment occur which
may eventually wipe out tribe which has
many elements to illustrate higher civili-
zation, and in whose advancement feel a
deep interest,
Any action on the subject will not in any
wise efect me, as my term expires in July
next, but am anxious these Indians should
pc placed III the best possible position for
advancement. l would further suggest that
no white man be allowed to come on the
reservation armed, unless in the capacity
OF civil OR military officer.
lam satisfied that if these suggestions are
carried out that the Indian question in this
vicinity VIII be much simplited, the uneasi-
ness. ness OF their neighbors allayed, the Indians
more easily subjected to wholesome disci-
pine and many dangers averted.'
just AFTER the murder of Ferguson, the
agent wrote to Commissioner Morgan as fol-
lows:

subject OF dlsarming the Cheyennes was
written some time since, but the necessity

little work may become q relief from idle
ness.
when the disarmament is determined
upon full military force should be here to
effect it. I would respectfully suggest five
troops of cavalry at the least.
On the same date the agent wrote to the
commissioner, he also wrote to Mr.. Carter,
as follows:
AFTER an experience of more than four
years with the Indians of this agency have
come to the conclusion that the condition ms
precedent to their civilization is that they
be thoroughly disarmed.
'When took charge of them, Feb. l, 1886.
found them fully armed with Springfield
carbines,. breech loading, far better
weapon than either army possessed in the
late civil war, and reported the fact to the
department at the time. Their being
armed is constant menace to the white
people of the state, to the civil officers, and
to the agent and employees, necessitating
frequent calls upon the military force of
the government for protection, and with
the inadequate ratiOns allowed them invit-
ing depredations upon the stock interests
of the country. The pretense of allowing
them arms for the purpose of hunting
udS CetHeu 10 nave any VAiue, rs
prairie dogs and prairie chickens consti-
tute all the game on the reservation and If
collected in one body would not suffice
them for subsistence one week. In case a
disarmament is ordered I would respect
fully recommend that sufficiently large
body of troops be ordered here to overawe
any possible resistance, and kept here until
it was thoroughly ascertained that there
was not an armed Indian on the reserva-
ton. A penalty for selling arms or amuni-
ton to an Indian should be fixed, such as
would be preventive. On the other hand a
penalty should be fixed for any white
person, coming on the reservation with
arms.
/ believe the principal Indian troubles of
this country will have been settled.'
With the above facts before it, the interior
department cannot be held blameless should
more trouble occur on the reservation.

Can Light His Breath.

The strange case of William Jackson,
whose breath was infammabie. excited
great deal of interestiin medical and
scientific circles two years ago. At that
time, says the Albany N. Y, Journal
Mr. Jackson was photographer in
Fayetteville, \. Y. More frecentIy he
has been engaged myths. same business
in Middlebury, Vt One evening at ten
7 O'Clock he lighted lamp with a match.
Then with a breath Of air sought to
blow out the match Instantly his
breath took FIRE with a slight explosion.
JaeSson gasped with fright, and the
flame of the combustible air entered his
mouth and blis.ered his tongue. His
lips and face also suffered, and his mus
taehe, eyebrows and the hair above his
eyebrows were singsd to a marked de-
gree. The man was at first badly fright
ened, and his wife, who was a witness Of
the occurrence. screamed with alarm.
After waiting an hour 20 see If there
would be repetition Of the pheuom-
enon. Jackson went to bed. The next
morning be consulted his physician
Dr. 7. +. Qainby, who recognized the
case a. a'singllar one, and engaged the

medical journals. The truth Of the re-

at will. but as the experiment. sometimes
resulted in unpleasant burns he would

occasions

the conclusion that it was not the breath

from his stomach that would take fire.
