wyoming Indian. Kc.tlr.s. !.

Denver, July 16.-A special from
Lander 10 the Denver News says:
There Is strange feeling of unrest
among the white people in the valley
regarding the Indians on the Shoshone
reservation. A day or two ago three
Indians visited the Shickley ranch, on
North Fork. at the south end Of the res
ervatiOn, and, going into a field.
claimed n horse, which they said was
thelr property. A man by the name OF
Miller. who was working the animal
denied TINT II was an Indian horse. and
told them that he had purchased II at
an administrator sale some years ago.
Notwithstanding Miller's protest, they
proceeded to take the animal away.
Another white man who was present
interefered, and forbade the Indians
taking the horse. but as they persisted.
he grabbed n club and knocked one OF
the Indians down. All three OF the red
men then hurried OF to the reservation.
Yesterday these three Indians re-
turned, bringing twelve more with
| them, all armed with Winchesters,
and, pointing them at the owner of the
horse and another white man there, the
claimant was permitted to ride him
away. A warrant was secured from
Justice Bertrand OF this city for the
arrest of the Indians, and with this
Deputy Sheriff Couch was sent over to
the agency to make the arrest. Cap
tain Nickerson, the Indian agent, be.
Ing npprised Of what the officers were
after. told them to leave the matter
with him and he would have the
guilty parties arrested by the Indian
police. When the police We're told by
the agent to arrest the wrongdoers,
they fiatly refused.
The agent then told them II they did
not obey he would have them locked
up. They promptly told him they
would not submit to arrest, and IL he
attempted 1t they would lock him up.
The ngent, seeing trouble brewing. sent
for the Indian who claimed the horse
and asked him how much 1t was worth.
ana, being told. he paid him the
amount. He then sent for the white
man to come and get the horse, hoping
thereby to end the trouble. but the bad
blood engendered has not yet settled,
and n feud has been started which is
likely to end In trouble.
For the firet time since Chief Wash.
akie's death has an emergency arisen
which demanded the wisdom Of the
lamented chief. One faction of the
shoshone tribe Is not at NIL satisfied
with the position Of the government.
which has so far refused to allow them
to elect Dick Washakie to the place
once occupied by his father. There is
grumbling going on among the young
warriors. and the whites are looking
for trouble. which has long been OK.
