KILLED FIVE REDS.
Indian Police Nearly Wipe Out
the Band

1nulan fOllce Nearly WIPE Gut
the Band
PINE RIDGE AGENCY, Feb. 1.-Two
Strikes, with his band, has gone to the
hills and refuses to come in" This
was the message received by Agent
Brown this afternoon, and Immediately
all was excitement at this agency. Two
Strikes is one of the most unruly Iu-
dians of the entire Sioux nation, and
has given more trouble than any
other Indian. He was the leader of
the discontinued portion OF the Brule-
Sioux, and ever since the trouble
that ended in the Mission fight and
Wounded Knee creek battle he has
been fomenting discomfort among the
Indians. For some time it has been no.
ticed that Indians were leaving the
agency, ostensibly going on hunting eX-
petitions to the west, and now it has
been learned that these hunters all
went heavily armed, and took their
families with them. A winter camp
has been made in the Bad Lands, Oh
Big Butte, known as Hili-in-the-Woo
or Hidden Butte. This is one of the
most inaccessible portions of the Bad
Lands country, especially in winter,
and here the Indians can defy the
United States army until late in the
summer, when campaign can be prose-
cuted with vigor.
1t was reported at the agency yester-
day that some white men had been
killed by the Indians. The Indian agent,
Capt. Brown. sent over some policemen
to investigate the matter. They report
ed that they found three white men kill
ed and one mortally wounded, who has

blood. Capt. Brown sent out
detachment of twenty police to arrest
the murderers. All the prominent
chiefs, Young Mama fraid-of- His Horse,
Red Cloud and others condemn the kill
ing, and say the guilty parties must be
punished. Capt. Brown instructed the
police that he sent out this morning
that they must bring the murderers to
the agency. The report of First Ser
geant Joe Bush, who was i'll command,
tells the story. He arrived at the
agency at 3 p. m. today and reports as
follows:
1.-The men were camped down near
No Water camp. close to the hill. The
police were out or the fiat where the
Omana mouse is. w men the police came
upon them they fired once at us, and all
OF US then commenced to fire upon
them. We got one Indian going up the
hill and we killed him there. There
was another man raised there close by
the house.. but we finished him and
knocked him down there's. Sergeant
Sitting Bear killed one, Policeman Red
Owl killed one, and Sergeant Blunt
Horn killed one. II took five of Young
Man Afraid's men, young fellows. and
they helped us great deal No Water
came up to the police and told us we
had settled them: that we had killed
them and they had all they wanted, and
that the best way was now to drop it"
After making their reports the police
were highly commended by Capt.
Brown and Inspector Csney. Two
Strikes and all of his boys got away. It

NO OUTBREAK FEARED.
Army Officers of the Opinion
That 1t Is Too Cold.

OMAHA, Feb. 4.-News of the Indian
difficulty was first conveyed to the
officers of the department of the Platte
by reporter. Gen. McCook and his
entire staff were at a photograph gallery
at the time, and the general expressed
the opinion that there could be no foun-
dation for the rumOr of an Indian
outbreak. He gave as reason for
this fact that Two Strikes and his band
belonged at Rosebud and not at Pine
Ridge, as indicated by the messages
giving the news of the killing. Col.
Sheridan hurried to the headquarters
after the sitting was finished, and dis
patched message to Capt. Leroy
Brown, agent of Pine Ridge, inquiring
as to the truth of the rumOr. He also seut
a similar message to Maj. Wright, at
Rosebud, making a like inquiry. Col.
Sheridan said it seemed improbable that
anything very extensive could have
taken place. for if an outbreak had oc-
Cured. the agents at Pine Ridge or
Rosebud would have telegraphed the
news at once. The department head
quarters were thrilled with the some
what startling news, and officers and
chief clerks gathered in groups here
and there discussing the authenticity Of
the report. 1t was the prevailing opin-
ion that the killing had been the result
of a petty row between cowboys and
Indians.
1T is the wrong time of the year for
general Indian uprising" said one of
the leading officers of the department.
why, it's awfully cold up in that coun-
try, and the Indians are not foolish
enough to undertake raid in the face
of this biting cold weather. If it were
a month later there might be more like
lihood of all uprising"

OMAHA, Feb. 4. "A special from
Chadron, Neb., says: 1.-Two Strikes
band killed three men on the reserva-
ton last night, and now defy arrest by
the Indian police. The killing took
place at Humphreys ranch, near the
mouth of White Clay creek. Humph
rey's ranch is about twenty miles north
west of Pine Ridge agency and fifteen
miles west of the Wounded Knee battle
ground of two years ago. There was
considerable skirmiShing in that neigh
borhood during the big uprising, and
soldiers were stationed at the ranch for
some time. Two Strikes band has held
together, and has been very vindictive
of late, but the outbreak is a surprise"
Immediately after sending the above
dispatch, the correspondent started for
the scene of the trouble, and nothing
further has yet been heard from him.
General Passenger Agent j. r. Buchan-
an, of the Elkhorn road, received the
following from Rushville today:
Three Killed
"Reliable adviceS confirm the finding
of three dead and one MORALLY wounded
white men at Humphreys beef camp
on White river, on the Sioux reserva-
ton. 1t is not positively known by
what means or in what manner
these men were killed, but vigorous
investigation is being made by Indian
Agent Brown. The killing was done
by Indians. There is said to be no sign
of All uprising among those now at the
agency. Sensational reports of another
outbreak. of which this killing is the
commencement, are being sent out, and
will work great injustice to this section,
and should be promptly contfadicted by
u.s."

over to RuShville:
ss''lt was reported at the agency yester-
day that white men had been Filled by

and will be brought to the agency to-
morrow. These men were killed
by Two Strikes. lis two sons

Former Requests for Annexation
Almost Invariably Refused.
ST. JoHNsBURY, VT, Feb. 4.-Hon.
Henry G. lde, of this city, late United
States commissioner to Samoa, thinks
that the policy of this government with
the Samoans in 1874 may now apply to
Hawaii. 1.-THE application for anne xa-
ton by the Samoans," says Mr.. Ide,
WAS voluntary and sincere. The appli-
cation on the part of Hawaians does not
seem to have come in any sense from
the native people, but only from a Dor
ton of the foreigners who repre-
sent numerically probably not more
than One-siXth of the whole pOpula-
ton. 1t would seem probable that the
same considerations which controlled
our government in 1874 might control it
in 1898, but it would also seem that a
helping hand and moral influence i'll
favor OF the independence OF the Hawaii
an islands, and of some other than
monarchical government there, and of
the most complete protection OF the vast
American interests now existing in
those islands, weuld be given by our
government. The question is not a
party one. No one can forecast to a GER
tainty the policy Of this administration
or the succeeding one in regard to this
application for annexation. But it

Alarming View OF the Situation

by DR.. McGillicuddy.
OMAHA, Feb. 4.-Gen. Brooke said to
a reporter that he received news of the
killing of the four white men and two
Indians at the beef camp known as
Humphreys ranch, twenty-one miles
northwest of Pine Ridge agency. The
news had been brought to the telegraph
office by some SQuaWmen and had not
been verified, so the general seemed to
think he had been in a drunken row
between cowboys and Indians. He still
believes there could be no serious out
break of the redmen on the agency. Dr.
McGiIllcuddy, formerly agent at Pine
Ridge, and one of the best men on the
Sioux Indian situation, several years
ago submitted to an interview in which
he gave causes which he declared
would lead to the reds taking the wal
path. The doctor says:
"The Messiah spirit is mol dead. and
the whites must not depend on the state
ment that the Indians are not consider
ing the promises made by old Sitting
Bull and the other medicine men who
led the trouble two years ago. While
there is no open dancing. there is Quiet
discussion of the topic, and the fact
that the promise was that the
Messiah would come after two springs,
which would bring the time to 1893, is
b cling carefully kept in mind by the In
dams. The government has recently
paid the Indians at Pine Ridge $50, O06,
and this is used as an argument that the

IN THE BAD LANDS.
The Remaining Indians Occupy
an Impregnable Position.


PINE RIDGE AGENCY. Feb. 4.-In-
spector Clsney, of the interior depart
ment, is here. 1t has been learned that
the three cattle ranches lying west of
Cheyenne reserve were raided and
many head of cattle driven off, and one
cowboy killed. The courier says that
the report that Two Strikes killed the
cowboy himself is a mistake, for the
deed was done by an Indian who had
been sent to the herd to stampede
it. With the cattle driven off, and
with snow and cold favOring them,
the Indians will be able to stay in the
canOns of the Bad Lands until they are
driven out by heavy body of troops.
The passes in the heart of the Bad
Lands are OF such nature that the few
Indians can successfully withstand the
attack of ten times their number of sol
diers. AS soon as the information was
received by Capt. Brown he called
out the Indian police and gave
instructions that all roads lead
ing to the Hidden Butte should
be carefully watched, and all Indians
who were caught on the trails COM
PEELED to return 10 the reservations. A
strong body of police was sent forward

While nothing definite can be learned as

currence of the Wounded Knee affair.
The present trouble comes from griev-
ances OF long standing, and really goes
back to the trouble of 1890 for its be-
ginning. AT that time, when The band
of Big Foot was wiped out by the SOL
diers after the Indians had been dis
armed, the Indians were very sullen
and refused to become as friendly as be-
fore. The remainder of the tribe
felt that their friends and relatives had
been cruelty murdered by the soldiers
to revenge the death of Custerand his
men, and this spirit of revenge burns
stronger in the breast of an Indian than
in that of white man; hence the feel
