BATTLE TO GRIM Death.
Desperate Fighting Between Indians,
Cowboys and Settlers
in Oklahoma.

Ell RENO, Okla, April A battle
with Winehesters occurred Sunday
between the Indians and white men
who went on the open reservation. 1t
was the climax to the old feud which
has existed for some time. The battle
was between the Indians of Whirl-
winds band of Cheyennes and the
whites who hold possession of the
vacant lands on the old Cheyenne reser =
walton. The cattlemen hnve persisted
in putting their cattle to Craze on the
Indian allotments which have never
been fenced or otherwise shut off from
the common.
The Indians would not have objected
TO the occupation of the land if the
white men paid them the tribute which
was demanded. When the Indians did
not get their money, they stole the cat.
tie, which they considered belonged
to them. Getting bolder and less hon
est, the Cheyennes stole all the cattle
which they could lay their hands on.
A party of cowboys caught the Indi-
ans in the act last Sunday and fired on
them. A battle ensued which lasted
far into the night. The Indians who
were camped in the locality came to the
assistance of their friends, and the
white settlers considered it their duty
to kill off few more Indians for the
good of tue community. A courier
rode to Fort Reno, sixty miles from the
scene of the fighting, and informed the
soldiers stationed there ss well as the
agent at Darlington.
B and K troops of the Third cavalry
We're at one despatched to the scene Of
the battle, They foupd the fighting
still in progress. At that time ten or
twelve men had been killed. The fight
had waged with hate on both sides.
The deep canyons and tree-lined
creeks make it an ideal country for
bushwhacking. Every sheltering ground
is being taken possession of by the
settlers families, and farms have been
abandoned for Il time.
