who was scout in '76 and '79. The
governor vouches for his good character
and Judgment. Phillips expresses the opin-
ion that there will be an uprising soon. A
few days ago twelve bucks, we'll armed,
stopped at his house on the way from Rose-
bud camp at South Pass creek. They were
very surly and made threats. A ranchman
named Waldron also reports to Gov. Mel
lette that the Indians killed quite a NUM-
Der of his cattle recently. Phillips says
everybody who has been among the Indians
any length of time expects an uprising soon.
Short Bulls headquarters are at Pass creek,
where dance is going ON. Phillips and
Waldron think it the point fixed for the
concentration Of fifteen hundred armed war
!riors thsre, and they say they won't given
Short Bull under any circumstances. Short
Full is teaching them that they will be
made invulnerable against the white mems
