telegram was received at the governors

body of the third was moved. The In
dams took the horses, saddles and
guns of the deputies to the reservation
with them, so that the incident may be
supposed to be ended unless the white
men try to get their property back.

Indians so far have the best of it.

prepared to hide out" If they can get

receptions throw them off their guard
and some day they may be caught
mapping.
