in the air, writes the Yellowstone Journal
directly c%ontradicting these reports and
claiming that no such condition Of affairs

NO SERIOUS TROUBLE A-PPREHENDED.
HELENA, Mont, Special.-Gov. Toole is
in daily communication with his staff sent
to investigate the alleged hostile acts
or the threats of the Cheyenne In
dams. Up to to-day no advices
have come to the governor from
his representatives leading him to appre-
bend any serious trouble. If the distant
settlers have been worked into a scare, the
Cheyennes have by the movement OF
troops, had a worse fright. No In
dams have taken the war path
and no lives have been sacrificed. Cattle
have been killed. and this is all. IN OF
Custer county's largest stock growers, Capt.
Harmon, says mo, there is moth

The general opinion is that If kept upon
their reservation and properly rationed the
Cheyennes will remain wholly peaceable,
and give no more cause for alarm than the
Flatheads or their kindred tribes.

ON THE WAR PATH PATH
Four Men Said to Have Been eel
Killed Thus Far By the
MurderOus Redskins.
Being Sent to Other
Agencies to Stir up the
Indians to War. /.

BYrLrSas, Mont, Special Telegram,
-Mearer reports come from the scene OF
the CHEYENNE outbreak that the bucks are
gathering in small war parties OF 9 ten
to fifteen and committing outrages on the
settlers, burning houses and killing large
numbers OF cattle and stealing cattle.
Troops have been sent to the locality from
the surrounding posts and are by this time
III close proximity to the warlike savages.
The / and ammunition 81 thes state militia
have been expressed to citizens living IN
that section Of the state from those COM
panies that are nearest. Four men are re-
ported to have been killed by the redskins.
There is no doubt but the prompt measures
taken will quell the outbreak in short or
der.
DIFFERENT STORY.
HELENA, Mont, SpeciaI.-The reports OF
threatened Indian hostilities in Eastern
Montana are largely sensational. Accounts
received here implicated the Cheyennes IN
depredations on cattle herds. The only
murderous crime committed was the killing
of Robert Ferguson, foreman Of the RAM
sey Cattle company, May6. The guilty In
dams were jailed and arenow awaiting trial
at Miles City. Recent movements OF q band
Of Cheyennes led to q suspicion that they
were making ready to go on the war path,
aid the military took prompt meas
ures to check the outbreak if meditated.
Exaggerated rumors scared a number OF
exposed settlers, and in response to repre-
sensations of danger the governor dis
patched to Miles City some arms and hxed
ammunition. Exaggerated stories have
been wired, having very little OF tact TO sus-
tain them. Gov. Toole said to-day that he
had an officer at Miles City who did not
seem to share in the fears of trouble in
duiged i'll by some people near the Eastern
Montana cattle ranges. There are soldiers
enough to cope with any Indians meditat-
ing mischief in Custer county. The opinion
here is that there will be no conflict and
| that the Cheyennes will be kept in control
| without bloodshed.
