excitement prevails in the country, and
settlers are prepared to believe anything
about Indians, because of their queer ac-
tons lately. Several families came in
yesterday afoot, q distance OF twenty
miles and over, too poor to own wagons.
In town somewhat less tension exists, ow-
ing to the receipt OF 800 guns from the
state government, and the fact that a
company OF soldiers is coming here from
Fort Totteu. Last night there were 200
Indians In town armed, bnt the citizens
are armed, too, and patrols were out and
people slept with their clothes on.
As Bad as the Indians.
A date will be fixed by committee of
citizens, and Indian agents notified that
after that date any Indian found in this
rounty without a pass from an agent will
be killed on sight. The population is thor
oushly aroused and although conserve
tive men are doing their best to quiet the
angry populace. there is every reason to
believe that unless the government takes
immediate steps to increase the force of
soldiers here at Fort Lincoln, every In
dian coming into the county will be
killed.
Much Excitement Among Settlers
Nearly 100 settlers were on a train last
night from West End county, going to
Bismarck for safety. At Glenullen, forty
miles west, the citizens turned out en-
masse and threw up circular breastworks
by moonlight large enough TO get iuto for
protection a supply of rifles was sent
TO each settlement in the county. Tele-

camped south of that point, and that the
