Landers, Wyo., Alarmed Over With
drawal of Troops.
INDIANS ARE RESTLESS
TWO THOUSAND ARAPAHOES
AND SHosHoNEs IN VICINITY
Tribes Are Not Friendly Toward Each
Other and the Abandonment of
Fort Washable Will Remove All
Restrictions -Stock-raisers Look
For Raids By Redskins.
fsnecial to The Herald,

Landers, Wyo., May 24.-The order
for the abandonment of Fort Washable,
Wyo, which was issued by the war de-
partment on the 18th, has caused com
sternation among the people of Lam
ders. which is in close proximity to the
Wind River reservation, upon which are
located some 1000 Arapahoe and Sho-
Shone Indians.
The post has been the means of con-
siderable revenue to the Indians, ana
its abandonment will cut all the reve-
nue. off the two tribes of Indians, who
are not on friendly terms. 1t is thought
by the residents here that the removal
of the troops will witness an open out
break between the two tribes.
Another ground for fear is that the
treaty with the Indians has about ex-
pired and with no treaty it is believed
that they will prey upon the stock OF
the settlers, which will bring on con-
fiict with them and the Indians. The
people say that the government does
not half feed the Indians and having
but little knowledge of agriculture they
will be a great source of annoyance
in a great many ways without the re-
straint of a troop of soldiers stationed
among them.

attempt TO lay down any infieXible rule
for the guidance of its ministry in rela-
ton TO the performance of this ceremony
the great bond of society. The greatest
prudence and caution should be exercised
by the ministers; they should exert their
influence as far as they can properly and
prudently do so TO prevent such mar
riages and only consent to perform the
ceremony in those instances where ne is
satisfied from all the circumstances that
the best interests of both parties will be
subserved by his so doing"
