The 0gallala Sioux at the Pine
Ridge agency In South Dakota had an
eviction party the other day Of an un-
usual kind. Incidentally, they RET
iuted the ISLANDERS Of the alarinists
who predicted outbreaks immediate
" after the troops were withdrawn
from the western forts. Far from
killing whites, the willy Dacota brave is
taking lively interest m the war,
and no jingo crows louder over the
American victories than the red men
Of the plains.
The eviction resulted from the nos
tility Of the Indian against Spain. On
the reservation there lived Spaniard
who was married to a full-hloosed
Sioux squaw and eked oui All exist
snce from the governments pouns y
to the squaw from the little money
he picked up at trading and hunting.
The Spaniard had lived on the reser-
vation for many years unmolrsted by
the Indians
When word came OF the American
naval victories to the Sioux villages
there was great powwowing and talk
Ing and jubilution at tnc prowess OF
the Americans. ~Ths news got over
"a The Porcupine Creek tApce~ where
~ Bpaniard lived, and the Sioux
waf<hsd him CLOSELY to ace the effect

The Spaniard fed precipitately.
Outsdde was squad of Indians wait |
ing for the result of the interview.
When they heard Of 1t they climbed |
Dn their ponies and with ''hi-yi" and |
Q warwhoop started down the trail |
pell-mell after the fleeing Spandard,
who was making good time through
The alkal dust to the Nebraska line.
The reds overhauled the fleeing rider. !
They brought their quirts down upon
his pony's sides, uttering yells and
yrunta and shouting "chitihar at him
the word means no coed. For miles
hey drove the fleeing Spaniard, cir
ling around and yelling like mad at
him. Near the state line they gave him
final hustling, and, amid shouts and
ellis OF derision, drove him out of the
reservation. The Indians returned to
heir tepees and had a great jubilation
ver the event. Next day the Spaniard
eceiyed his traps from the police and
rove through Gordon, Neb., stopping
My long enough to sacrifice his
orses and outfit to get railroad fare
