UPRISING OF THE CHEYENNES
People Who Have Gun. and can Shoot


Arc Not Afraid Of Them.
The people who live in the Powder
river country are accustomed to the re-
ports Of Indian uprisings. The scares
have their beginnings in small events.
The one in 1854 was started by two
drunken cattlemen, who were sitting
IN house when three Indians came
riding up the road on their ponies.
One of them, who had been drinking
more than was good for him, made a
bet that he could raise the hat from
the head of one of the approaching
Ind with his rifle without scalping
him. So he opened fire, and hedid raise
the Indians hat, but he shot 4 trifle too
low and creased his scalp, not hurting
him seriously, but starting the blood
and making the Indians angry They
rode away, and that night came with
band of their companions and burned
the ranch houses down. The residents
of that section organized n posse of
200 or 300 and went after the Indians
in earnest, but the men who fired the
ranch were subsequently surrendered,
and the affair quieted down without
more bloodshed.
The Cheycnnes then>had q little set
tlement or Otter creek, at it's confluence
| with the Tongue river. Afterward a
lot more of their tribesmen Joined them,
| and there n mission was established for
them, where the government now takes
| care of them. AT that time they were
not cared for at all, and their only
| means of living was by hunting and
| stealing. They were treacherous and
lnci iro1 irh1,
| always look around when they made n
visit to ranch to see whether there
was any arms around, ard if there were
not they would set upon the people
and rob them of everything they had
in broad daylight before their eyes. II
| they met a man on a horse on the ranch
who was not armed they would set him
afoot on the spot and take his horse and
outfit along with them.
| They are the same Indians who took
| part in the raid in Nebraska and after
ward participated in the Custer mas
sacre. The Cheyennes are not par
ticularly high class of Indian, though.
| They are not especially brave, and
never saw one who was good shot.
They are rapidly diminishing in num-
bers. The locality where they are now
was once n fine hunting ground, hut
that day is gone. They are fed by the
| government and furnished with some
of the comforts of civilization, but for
the most part they retain their original
customs from preference. They live in
houses n part of the time, but eat on
the ground when tables arc furni"hed
them, and in many other ways show
reluctance to enter into the spirit OF
the government in it's efforts to civilize
them.-Helenn (Mont.) Independent.
