CHEYENNE INDIAS UNEASY
Redskins at Lame Deer Agency Kill a
Sheep HerdoF. "
REPORTS ARE, SENT OUT
Statement that Redskins Had Gone on
the wnrpnth Not verffied-six
Companies of Regulars at
the Agency.

HELENA, Mont, May 31.-Reports of the
killing of several men by the Cheyenne In
dlans at Lame Deer agency are not verified.
1t is not believed that any one was killed
except a sheep herder named Hoover, whose
murder a week ago caused all the excite
ment. The settlers and cowboys determined
to avenge his death and give the Cheyennes
an object lesson to deter them from similar
acts in the future. They sent all the women
and children to places Of safety, armed
themselves and congregated near the agency
and demanded the surrender of the Indians
accused of numbering Hoover. The Indians
armed themselves and made the threatening
demonstrations against the whites but no
battle has been fought, nor massacre begun
so far as is known.
Six companies of United States troops are
at the agency. The Indians declare that they
do not want to fight the soldiers, but are
anxious to have a brush with the white set
tiers and cowboys. There Is conflict of
authority between the Indian agent, Captain
Stcuch. and the sheriff of Custer county.
The sherT's deputies were ordered off the
reservation by the agent. They returned to
Miles City and got a warrant for the arrest
of the agent for interfering with the officers
and started back to arrest him. Lame
Deer Is sixty miles from telegraph office
and the result of their expedition is not
known. The trouble is due to the charges
of settlers that the Indians kill and steal
their cattle, and counter charges of Indians
that the settlers continually ntrude on the
reservation.
Governor Smith wired President Mckinley
today protesting against the action Of Cap
tain Stouch, and asking that he be directed
not to interfere with the civil officers. Stouch
says he can and will arrest the murderers
as soon as the excitement dies out.

Illinois Caucus Leads the Way and
Several other states Follow.
DUBUQUE. Ia, May 3t.-(Special Tele-
gram.) 1.-THE fight against the head officers
OF the Modern Woodmen OF America. led by
Woodmen of Fulton, Ill, has apparently
failed. Literature containing serious charges
against the administration was circulated
through the hotels during the day and the
opposition seemed to be making headway.
Tonight. however, the Illinois caucus, con-
tanning siXty-seven Of the 247 delegates TO
the convention, endorsed the administration
officers from Illinois The other states made
haste to get into the bandwagon, all except
Nebraska, in whose caucus Director Talbot
precipitated a bolt by trying to get an en-
dorcement for DR.. Faulkner, head physician.
He had the majority, but DR.. Ashby's friends
withdrew and threaten to make trouble un-
less they have their way tomorrow, when
the caucus Is to reassemble
The Iowa caucus, though the state con-
vention had instructed for A. w. Lee of Des
Moines for head banker endorsed Frank r.
Crocker of Charlton He got twelve votes,
Lee and Colonel Hayden OF Dubuque 4.
Lee surrendered, but Hayden, who has re-
fused to abide by the caucus decision, is
considered stronger than Crocker. Head
Banker Hollister of Madison Wis, Is not
eligible to reelection, but he wants the
laws amended or else the privilege of naming
j. N. Frolt of Madison for the succession.
The Michigan delegation nominated Emery
A. Townsend of Grand Rapids for head
auditor. The opposition to Northcott
wanted Townsend for head consul
ST. Paul will probably beat Kansas City
for the next head camp.
La Sale, ILL.,, has put in claim AMI
Elgin, ILL.,, has sent an imposing delegation
to ask for the permanent headquarters,
which the head officers propose to remove to
Rock Island, Ill.
The convention will meet tomorrow morn

Wife Receivers the Deed.

Judge Smith yesterday made a decree in
the case of Fulfs against Fulfs, rather
sensational case involving the title to a
valuable farm in Pottawattamie county.
Geraldine Fulfs was suing Julius FulfS for
the deeds to the lands on the ground that
the farm was purchased with money that
was sent to her from the old country, espe-
cially for that purpose and with the unler-
standing that the farm should never by any
hook crook get into the possession CT the
husband. After the farm was purchased
Fulfs set about getting the title vested in
himself. After all sorts of promising and
importuning failed, he resor.sd to threats
and informed his wife that he would leave
her and never live with her again il she did
not consent to deed the land TO him. She
finally yielded, and Fulfs got poss assion.
The evidence of their children vas taken
in court yesterday to show that the case
was as represented Judge Smith granted
the application and the deed was vested IN
her.

COST OF BORROWING A DRAGON.
Chinese Residents of Rock Springs
Ask TMenty-EiYe Hundred DnlIars

Chinese Residents of Rock Springs
Ask Twenty-Five Hundred Dollars.
ROCK SPRINGS. Wyo., May 31.-(Special)
The Chinese residents of this place are
greatly stirred up over negotiations with the
Salt Lake City Jubilee committee for the
appearance in Salt Lake City in the jubilee
parade of the famous Chinese dragon, which
is owned by the Rock Springs Cinnamon.
Ah Say. the local Chinese boss, who has been
conducting the negotiations for his country
men, asks $4,000 for the use OF the dragon
for five days. This, All Say says, seems
large sum, but 1t includes the following
items Of expense attendant upon taking the
dragon to Salt Lake City: One hundred men,
five days, each at SO day, 81 500; so Chinese
silk suits at So. $500; so pairs of Chinese
shoes at So, 500; repairing the dragon, $3.50;
meals for the 100 men, $3.50; lodging for the
100 men, 5000; total, 81. 600.
The dragon is 1870 feet long and cost in
China about SO, ,000 The Cinnamon are rather
indignant at the action of the Salt Lake COM
mittee, which advertises the dragon as one
of the features of the jubilee before closing
the negotiations with them for securing 1t.

After an interval OF more than one week
the commissioners for the insane called Fred
C. Harrison before them yesterday for ex-
animation. Harrison was held at the county
Jail for. the week to enable the officers to
observe his conduct and ascertain whether
his penchant for forgery was the result Of
criminal Instinct or mental incapability.
His conduct for the last few days left no
room for doubt that he was mentally de-
hcient to serious extent. During the ex-
animation yesterday something was learned
OF his past life. He has lived In Lincoln for
several years, and his mother Is Susan b.
Peckham OF 9l9 street. His mental trou-
blea have been caused by two courses or
alleged medical treatment In gold cure es-
adjustments, and the dissipation that made
them necessary Papers found in his pos
session and information furnished the board
showed that he had been in the Nebraska
asylum several times for treatment
His examination by the board yesterday
was hastened by his alarming physical con-
dition during the early part OF the day.
His supply OF stimulants had been shut of
while he was an inmate of the county jail
and he drifted into a condition OF almost
complete physical collapse. The commits
sioners pronounced him to be insane and
ordered his return to Lincoln. He was
taken there last night by deputy sheriff
very much against his wishes.

Francis of the burlington Talks of
Indian Uprising.
General Passenger Agent Francis of the
Burlington road is inclined to the opinion
that the larger part of tie foregoing dis
patch is a canard, pure and simple. He
reaches the conclusion from his own OBJ
servance of the condition of affairs while he
was in the vicinity of the Cheyenne agency
last week. He was in Billings on Thurs
day night and on Friday, and passed through
the Grow agency which is on the Burling-
ton, about seventy-fve miles from Billings.
The Cheyenne agency Is east of the Crow
agency. ,nstts - z..
Mr.. Francis heard while in Billings that
some Cheyenne Indians had killed rancher's
sheep and there was rumor afioat that they
had taken shots at a cowboy. There was
no talk of ally extensive trouble from the
Indians. AS evidence of the way people
looked upon the condition, Mr.. Francis
stated that the Burlington had taken an eX-
cursion of 400 men, women and children to
the Custer battlefield yesterday. He also
said that he knew of the sheriff's leaving
with pcsse for the scene of the trouble,
but the authorities did not anticipate any
outbreak or fight. He obtained this view of
the situation on Thursday and Friday, on
which days the alarming reports mentioned
in the dispatches are said to have arrived.
Helena, from which point the telegram was
sent is about 300 miles from the scene of
the alleged trouble.
