LOOKING FOR lNriAN TROUBLES.
Cheyennes and Arapahoes Making a Row

CHICAGO, June 29-Army officers are
waiting with no little anxiety the outcome
Of significant move made by the
Cheyenne aud Arapahoe Indians in Okla
homa territory in refusing to accept beef
rations issued to them by the Indian agent
there. The Indians have absolutely de-
clined to accept 500 beeves turned over to
them, and say they viii have no more TO
do with the government whose officers they
say have continually robbed them of their
rights. The trouble dates back to the
time when coterie of attorneys secured
So 800 for fees alleged ID be due them for
assistance In selling Indian lands to the
government.
Not Occupying Their Allotments.
Since then the Indians have been very
balky. The settlers are said to be greatly
excited over the prospect of trouble Few
OF the Indians have occupied the allot-
ments given them and 1 great deal of I'M
rest has been manifested among them.
Speaking of the trouble among the red
skins, Captain J. NJ Lee, who has been
among the Indians and has known all
their chiefs for years, said yesterday: II
wouldn't be surprised ii trouble occurred.
There is no doubt in my mind that the In
dams have been outrageously swindled
and every man. woman and child in their
territory who hasn't been bought up by
the thieves will say so. An Indian will
stand a great deal, but he is constituted
about as is a white man and some of them
are just about ready to give up and 90 on
the war path.
Heavy Claims Against Mr.. 10.
@There are always lot of thieves who
have q lnhhU nj .hinryto,,
claims against the red men, and their
claims amount to over S25, 600, 600 at the
present time. If allowed they would be.
come liens upon all the Indians have or
expect to receive from the government. 1
sincerely trust no trouble will occur, but
the Indians have been brow beaten and
cheated so often that it would be but hu-
man nature for them 10 take retaliatory
measures"

HENNEPIN, Ills, June 29-News has
just been received from Magnolia, some
what out of the way village twenty miles
from here, of remarkable and successful
robbery perpetrated there on the night of
June &c, in which John Sobeoski, Prohi-
bition candidate for governor of Missouri,
was one of the victims and the hero OF an
intensely exciting subsequent adventure
with the robbers. On the night in ques-
ton the Magnolia house, the only hotel
in the village, contained twelve guests.
Shortly before midnight five men, masked
and armed with rifles, forced an entrance
through back window on the ground
floor. On that floor were sleeping the
landlord, Jacob Williams, his wife,
hired men and three young women serv-
ants.

ately acquainted with the premises. pro.

by the landlord and his wife and sue
ceeded in gagging and binding them and
in securing their money and valuables be-
fore they had an opportunity to make an
ontcry or to struggle sufficiently to cause
an alarm. The room of the hired man
was visited next and he was treated as his
employers had been. The three woman
servants were awakened and terrified into
silence by threats enforced by liberal dis
play of firearms. One of the robbers was
left in their room TO insure their continued
submission and the four other robbers
carefully made their way up the stairs
where ali the guests were sleeping
Operations With the Guests.
The method in which the robbery of the
guests was committed exhibited GOODNESS
and shrewdness which have never been ex-
celled in the annals of crime A long hall
runs from end to end Of the second floor of
the hotel and the sleeping rooms are on
each side Two of the robbers were sta
toned at the upper end OF the hall, and
the others, entering in succession the
rooms of the victims by means of skeleton
keys when the doors were locked, reused
the sleepers and commanded them at the
muZzles of rifles to get up and march.
In Light Marching Order.
One by one the terrified and half
awakened guests were forced in their
scant clothing to take their places in

One of them remarked once in a while
that if we moved or spoke he'd shoot-out

He Follows the Robbers and Comes Near
Getting Killed.
After the rooms had all been visited and
the guests ranged along the hall the two
robbers who had conducted the active on
erations returned 10 the rooms and ran
sacked them, taking plenty of time and
securing watches, money and other valua-
bles to the amount of about 81 200. They
then made their escape, leaving their com
panions. but previously warning them of
their departure The two guards remained
but a short time and departed, threaten
ing their victims with death in case of pur-
suit.
Comes Up With the Thieves.
Sobeoski seems to have been the only one
OF the victims to recover his nerve. No
sooner had the guards left than he began
the attempt to organize a posse for pur-
suit. His companions refusing to Join
him he finally hired horse and, ascer-
tanning that the robbers were mounted
and had taken northwest direction across
the country, set ont alone. Shortly after
daylight he overlook three of them camped
in q ravine. A lively skirmish was imme-
diately opened, the desperadoes firing the
first shot.
Loses His Horse and Game.
Sobeoski's horse was killed under him
and several bullets pierced his clothing,
but neither he nor any of the robbers was
seriously hurt. Sobeoski, being thrown
to the ground by the fall of the horse, the
others mounted their horses and dashed
away without any further attempt to mo-
lest him. He made his way back to
Magnolia on foot and after giving to the
authorities as accurate a description of

Little Hope of Catching Them.
Owing to his excitement the description
was vague, and the authorities have little
hope of finding the desperadoes, although
Sheriff johnson and fifteen deputies are
securing the country. 1t is thought that
the robbers separated by design, and that
the three discovered by Sobeoski were not
