INDIAN SCARE DYING DOWN.
Reports of the UprisinE Are Greatly
Enumerated.


Enumerated.
| Omaha. Jan. 27.-Gen. Lee last night
received a Geographic report from
Lieut.. Dixon, commanding the troop
of cavalry sent to the scene of the
Creek Indian troubles. He states that
he has not yet made a full investiga-
ton, but has learned enough to war
rant his saying that the reports of an
uprising have been greatly exaggerat-
ed. Thus far he has encountered no
Indians and from civilians he learns
there has been no violence on the part
of the Indians and he anticipates none.
The report of Lieut.. Dixon comes from
Henrietta, which place he reached
during the forenoon.
Has Been Greatly Exaggerated.
Wichita, Kan, Jan. 27.-Dispatches
from various points in the Indian Ter
ritory and along the Oklahoma border
show that the Indian scare has been
greatly exaggerated. There are some
who fear trouble and are preparing for
a brush with redskins, but those in
authority say that there is now no
danger. A telegram from Checotah,
Ind. T., says:
III. G. Turner of Brush Hill, where
the Snake band of Indians are sup
posed to be in camp, was in Checotah
this morning and says there is no
truth in the report from Eaufaula of
Indian i, uprisings. The Indians, he
says, who are supposed to be indulg-
ing in war dances are at work.
A special from South McAlester says
that the arrival of the troops in the
territory and the prompt measures
taken by the government in the North
ern district to suppress the Snakes
have been reported to the Choctaw
faction and have had the effect Of
dampening enthusiasm.
Sheriff Asks for Troops.
Guthrie, Okla, Jan. e. - Matters
seemed to have quieted yesterday
morning in the Indian scare along the
eastern border, but at noon the follow
ing telegram was received by the gov
ernor:
Situation along our border serious.
I cannot be responsible for the safety
Of our people unless militia is ordered
out at once.
William Tilghman, Sheriff.
At o'clock the governor held con-
sultation over the telephone with Col.
Hoffman and Sheriff Tilghman at
Chandler, and they stated that many
depredations were being committed
over the line in the Creek reservation,
both by the Indians and by outlaws,
but up to that time nobody had crossed
the line and there was no positive evil
dence of any intention to cross to COM
init any overt acts on this side Of the
line. The governor advised that a
close watch be kept along the line and
advise sent him of any overt act
against citizens or property in Okla
homa, but until there was some at
tempt to cross the line or commit some
such act he did not feel that he would
be justified in ordering the national
guard to the scene.
