Account Of a white man scare among
the Indians from the Arapahoe Argus:
Some OF our citizens have been consider
ably worked up over the reports going
the rounds that the Indians in this COM
munity were likely to go on the war path,
owing to the fact that about ali the SOL
diers stationed at Forts Reno and Sill
had been ordered to the seat of war. There
is absolutely no truth m such reports;
they were started by some misehievous
person. The Indians are worse scared
over these reports than the whites are.
They claim that they are now without
protection from evil designed people.
There is more danger IN the pale-faced
themselves in this community than there
is in every Cheyenne and Arapahoe In
dian on the agency.

number of his acquaintance found trou-
BILE through barely promising to marry
and not going any farther. A southern
editor says a friend OF his was both
cred enough when he was simply found
in company with another mans wife.
There may be some truth in what these
fellows say, but when a fellow like 'us''
spends the best years of his life hunting
a wife TO trouble him, and is unable to
find one fool enough to take the job, he
can indeed ray trouble" and meet the
sympathy af all but those who are foun-
derlng in the pillows of the rugged and
s.orm-tossed matrimonial sea. Oh, for a
bushel of trouble to roll across our peace
full breast.
