a telephone message from the coun-
~ lndrmary conveyed the Informal
tion this afternoon that the most dill
gent search had failed to elicit the
slightest clue that would lead to the
whereabouts of Lemuel Peterson, the
old man who escaped two weeks ago.
II is feared that he wandered away
to some obscure or secluded spot and
died. lie was so years OF age and
very feeble, his voice being SO badly
impaired as to be almost iuaudible.
He had been an inmate Of the In
Urinary since January or February OF
the present year and prior to that
time lived In the Third ward OF this
city. The old Eentlemau's mind was
very much affected. He l1hored un-
der the constant Authorization that
some one was going o. murder him
and II Is thought that It was this
fear that caused him to run away.

On the road down Friday a courier
overlook the sheriff and his deputies,
saying that White Bulls band had dur.

that the force of settlers was being re-

them, and that this band of Indians
was liable to do more damage to ranch

Deputy Sheriffs w. d. Smith and
Matt Winters have arrived at Miles
City after having been ordered off the
Cheyenne reservation by the military
agent, Captain Stouch. The Indians
were riding the ominous circle and
were decked out in war paint, waving
their blankets and displaying their Win
chesters and challenging the citizens to
come out and fight them. They claimed
tlat they did not want to fight the SOL
diers, but that they did want to fight
the citizens. Captain Stouch asked the
citizens to leave the agency. The dep,r
ty sheriffs refused to 60 unless upon a
written order. This he gave them, stat
ing their presence might excite the In
dians to further deeds of violence.
Orders We're given to the ordnance
