ARAPAHoEs ARE NOT STARVING
Nothing in Situation 10 Cause Any
Alarm,

Cheyenne, Wyo, Jan, l0,--A telephone
message from Lander says there Is
nothing in the situation on the Wind
River Indian reservation. where the
Arapdhoes are reported 70 be starving,
to cause alarm. The report that the
Arapahoes raised no crops Is denied
the tribe reclaimed more land, more
grain was sown, and the harvest was
larger than ever before. II Is true the
government ceased issuing rations a
year ago, when the treaty ex9 ired, but
only in a few cases has this affected
the Indians. All those who are willing
to work can make a good living With
out the aid OF the government
a band of young Arapahoe bucks,
who participated in the recent belliger-
ent move when Deputy United States
Marshal Joe La Fors attempted to ar
rest an Indian named Tosca for
threatening a schoolteacher, has been
making threats that II would Kill the
stock OF settlers, but as the better class
of Arapahoes are not In sympathy with
them, and as there is force OF cavalry
stationed at Fort Washable nearby,
there is no danger Of serious trouble.
