MILES CITY, Mont, June 1.-The
rumors that settlers are returning home
is untrue. Fifty families of refugees
from the Indians are here and more
are coming. Over 2U0 Indians are off
the reservation.
ROSEBUD, Mont, June 7.--Iu this
pretty valley the signs Of the India0:up.
rising are as shocking as that of the
Pine Ridge outbreak, in 1890. The
young Cheyenne braves are craving for
an opportunity to 60 on the wafpath,
the soldiers are spelling for fight and
the settlers are awaiting chance to
wreak their vengeance on the Indians.
Bratton's ranch, thirty miles south OF
Rosebud, is now defended by thirty
seven armed settlers. Several troop
ers, while out on q scouting expedition
ran across band OF Cheyennes camped
in q canyon, stripped naked, while long
feathers bedecked their hair, falling
down over their shoulders. who were
galloping madly around fire, execut-
ing the Cheyenne war dance.
The troopers hurried back to the
soldiers camp and the entire scoutiI Z
party was conducted to the India.
camp. At the opening OF the canyon
the cayalrymen dismounted and spread
out, In order to surround the Chey-
ennes. They found the Indians had
gone to bed and the camp fires had
died ont. A pistol shot was the signal
for action, and the troopers swept
down on the wigwams. Awakened by
the shot, the Indians, rifles in hand,
came trembling from their tepees. The
sight of the uniforms OF the United |
States troops. however, was sufficient
to pacify them, without the firing of a
shot.
Thirty Cheyennes, among whom was

Anthracite Miners Are Care.ully
Watching the Progress Of
the Big Strike.
IF Their Bituminous Brethren
Win They May Also Ask
for a Raise.
Not Believed the OttumWa Min
ers Will Vote to Strike Just
at Present.

P1TTsBuRG, Aug. 1O.-On the success
or failure of the bituminous coal min
ers' strike depends the inception by the
anthracite coal miners Of demands for
higher wages and better conditions
District President Patrick Dolan and
other officials of the Mine Workers.
association have received several letters
during the past few days from different
parts of the Pennsylvania anthracite
coal region asking for information as to
the outlook of the big strike and want
ing to know what assurances of victory
they have. If the bituminous miners
win the anthracite diggers think they
would have an equal chance Of securing
an advance in wages. If the present
strike is lost the attempt for an advance
will not be made in the anthracite re-
gion.
The anthracite miners are poorly or
ganized. At one time their union was
strong, but disastrous strikes in which
the men were beaten resulted in grad.
ual shrinkage in the union. The United
Mine Workers officials have sent cheer.
full news in response to the request for
an opinion on the outcome Of their
strike. The intention of the anthracite
miners is to get together as manJ Of
their fellow workmen as possible before
any demand for higher wages is made.
Looking to this end organizers will be.
gin work at once.
