Raiding indians.

Parties from Cheyenne river, near the
the Sioux reservation, bring information
that a Sioux band OF 400or O0Indians,
with n full outfit OF wagon, coming from
the northwest were met on the way to
Pine Ridge. Thomas Beverly, living
near Zlebach county on returning from
town found Il hall dozen big bucks in his
house, taking his small supply OF provi-
sions, and his wife and children badly
frightened. He was so incensed that on
first impulse he was tempted to shoot
them, but his better Judgment prevailed,
n he contcnted himself with rappiny
II next him with his Winchester on the
head, driving them off. Remembering
that Mr.. Dewitt, postmaster at C~reston,
n who also keeps q little store, had
gone to Rapid City for goods, leaving
his wife alone. he started over to see il
they Were not doing mischief there. He
found the littlestorecrowded with bucks,
who Were helping themselves to ever
thing, notwithstanding the protrstations
OF the trembling vile. He drove them
all out, and when they gotstarted down
the road fired several Shots after them
to scare them.
1t is thought that this little act OF hos.
tility may make trouble, although the
cowboys just in from the round up ON
the reservation say they were never
treated with more courtesy aud kind
ness by the Indians in the gathering OF
their cattle of the reservation. Bnt the
TACT oil so many Indians being off their
reservation without leave and unaccom-
panied by troops gives color 80 the re-
port that there Is much uneasiuc.s.
