A Petition for Protection.

A petition being circulated by the
citizens of Hermosa, praying for the
establishment Of a military post at some
point on the Cheyenne river, near the
mouth of French creek, as means oi
protection against raiding bands of In.
dians was signed by many of our citi.
zens during the week.
1t would appear, that notwithstanding
the fact of the so-called peaceable solu.
ton of the Indian troubles by General
Miles, that the situation, so far as the
probability of its continuance is con.
cerned, is regarded by the border settlers
as being quite as alarming as ever. The
withdrawal Of the troops, is good
grounds for alarm on the part Of the
settlers, and the occurrence Of raid
since the peaceable (?) solution was ac.
complished, may be reasonably accepted
as being strongly indicative of further
trouble, Notwithstanding the plausible
promises of the willy reds.

Another Skirmish.

The Rapid Journal of the 9th inst.
has the following: Yesterday morning
an arrival from the mouth Of Spring
creek brought word to the city that on
Saturday night shortly after sunset a
little skirmish occurred at Noah New
banks ranch between a small party of
mounted Indians and Newbanks and
his four hired men The family and
men had just finished their evening
meal, so the account goes, and were
sitting around the room discussing the
events of the day, when they were all
startled by breaking glass and splintering
boards followed Immediately by reports
Of a number of rifles. Hastily seiZing
their arms, the men ofthe party rushed
out Of doors and discovered short dis
tance from the house group of five
or six Indians. who at once commenced
shooting at them. The men returned
the fire and had the satisfaction of see
ing one of the attacking party reel in
his saddle and fall from his horse. He
was Immediately picked up by his com
panions and the Indians retreated
across the Cheyenne river. The whites
escaped without a scratch.
The report Of the affair created no
little excitement in the city and much
comment. Many are of the opinion
that the attack. if made at all, was made
by some ofthe Indians who at the break
ing out Of hostilites occupied the bad
lands, and who suffered severely at the
hands of the ranchers, and that they
come into the Cheyenne country for the
purpose Of wreaking vengeance on the
settlers for the killing of several Of the
Indians.
The first report has been eorroborat-
ed by another arrival from lower Spring
creek last night, who told substantially
the same story as did the first. The
settlers, or rather those who have re-
turned to their houses in the vicinity OF
the Cheyenne river, are keeping sharp
lookout and are well prepared to resist
an attack from small bands of savages.
but are in no shape to give fight to a
large force"
