agency, reporter went 10 the hoad-
quarters OF the division Of the Missouri

the city, but Captain Baldwin OF his
staff said:
~ don't think there Ia anything Ia
IL. We have received no news OF an
uprising, aud although some men may
have been killed, that does not predict
n general revolt by any means. The
murders could not have been commit
ted by Two Sticks for he is not near
Pine Ridge. He IL at Rosebud, and
could hardly have killed anybody nj
Pine Ridge. think the uprising part
OF the story Is not Ms serious MS re-.
ported"
A dispatch received hero tonight
from ChadIon, Neb., asserts that the
killing was done by Two Sticks band
and that the murderers are still ut
liberty In spite OF the efforts OF the In.
dian police to apprehend them.
FOUR COWBOYS KILLED.
OMAHA, Nsb., Feb. "a Bee spec
iAl IRON Pine RNigc agency, b. d.,
says that y telegram has been received
by Captain Brown, United States
Indian agent there, from the foreman
OF the government beef contractors,
stating that he was at Beef Camp dur.
Ing tho killing, but made his escape.
He stated positively that four cowboys
were killed. No reason was given for
the killing. Everything points to tho
wiilful and cruel murder OF the dc.
tachment sent from Pine Ridge to
bring the bodies OF the white men to
the agency, but friends Of tho muir
dered men refused to let the police
have their remains, claiming that they
would attend to tho burial themselves.
Since II has been learned that the four
bodies were sent to Hermosa, b. d.,
yesterday.
Information has been received since
the engagement between the Indian
police and Two Sticks band yesterday
that 1t was owing to the firm and
heroic stand that Young Man. Airaid-
of-His.Horse took that prevented M.
ether outbreak. A courier Just In from
the camp reports that Two Sticks and
his sons returned two or three hours
after the killing Of the cowboys and
took all the bed clothing In the camp
and stole what food there was In ght.
II Ii u difficult matter to obtain reliable
particulars. Last night 1t was rumored
that Two Sticks friends were moving
towards the agency and were going to |
fire the government buildings, but this
cannot be confirmed. A blizzard IL
now raging which Is usually more
cooling to Indiana Ardor than any.
thing else. Captain Brown does not
fear serious trouble, but others do not
have the same opinion.
