INSULTING AND IMPUDENT.
D~isagreeable Conduct of the Indians on
the Reservation

the Reservation
Missoula. June 20.-In speaking of
the abandonment Of Fort Missoula.
which Ii so much discussed at present
In these parts, a gentleman from near
Arlee aid yesterday: 1T may seem
like imagination to those who are not
familiar with the situation, but IT Is n
fact that the Indians on the reservation
are becoming insulting and impudent to
a marked degree since the troops were
withdrawn from the post. There Is, OF
course. no concerted action that would
lead one to think that an outbreak Is
imminent, but II is in little. mean. pet
~ ways that the reds manifest this dis
agreeable conduct. They have given US
more trouble In our ne%ighborhood than
they ever have before since I have been
in the country. They seem to realize
that there are no troops to hold them
down and they profess the greatest con-
tempt for civil officers. especially since
the arrest of the deputy treasurer. who
was on the reservation to collect taxes.
] do not look for any serious trouble. but
IL Is not right that, we should be an
noyed by these contemplate little petty
larceny tricks that they are playing
these days"
This ts a strong argument in favor OF
maintaining a garrison at Fort Mis-
soula. As long as there are 1000 In
diane within a short distance OF the
city there should certainly be some SOL
diery hers.
