to Boughton brothers Of Great Falls, Mont .,

100 horses were driven away by Sioux Indians
from their herding place on Centennial prairie,
ten miles north OF Deadwood.f The owners have
been suing for damages ever since the raid,
ana it is now question whether not the
Indians at the time of the raid were at peace
war. The fact has been established that the
cattle and horses were stolen, as the complaint
states.
Old-time residents Of the Hills have testified
that at the time Of the raid Indians under
Chiefs Crazy Horse, Red Cloud Spotted Tail
and Tquch-the- Cloud made frequent attempts to
run off cattle from the vicinity Of Deadwood,
aud many thousand head were stolen.
The cattle were valued at that time at $I5
to 500 head, and the horses at $500 head.
The claim of $SS,sO0 is based upon this valua-
tion, Many in the Hills watching this
Indian depreciation case, for other similar cases
are still pending before the United States court
Of claims. The question is the same in the
other cases, namely, whether or not the Indians
were war.
