Mid June had come, and there was
the very devil to pay - so said the
scouts and soldiers up along the Big
Horn. But scouts and soldiers were
far removed from the states and cities
where news was manufactured, and
those were days in which our Indian
outbreaks were described in the press
long after, instead of before, their oc
currence. Such couriers as had got
through Frayne brought dispatches
from the far-isolated posts along that
beautiful range, insisting that the
Sioux were swarming in every valley.
Such dispatches, when wired to Wash
ington and referred" to the depart
ment of the interior and re-referred TO
the head of the Indian bureau, were
scoffed Mt as sensational.
"Our agents report the Indians peace
ably assembled at their reservations.
None are missing at the weekly dis

things were hinted at the officers in

were quickly brought to ready, the
gun locks cracking in chorus as the
horses pranced and snorted. But 1t
had varying effect on the occupants
of the leading wagon. The shout Of
"Indians" from Bryan's lips, the sight
