white man. W. H. Carter, in the arm.
col. burlington said the body Of
Breeding was taken in charge by the
United states marshal to await

The Indians were quiet and disposed
to await the action OF the authorities
rather than resort TO reprisals for the
killing of the chief. Col. burlington
said the facts. as related In his dis
patch were given him by Capt. Wood
son, who is the indian agent in charge
of the Cheyennes. Capt. Hunter and
twenty mounted men We're sent from

talns no reference to the burning by
