Nervous Apprehension.
Special Dispatch TO The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
SHERIDAN, Wyo., October 2-Govern-
ment employees engaged on an irrigation
project in the Cheyenne reservation. just
across the state line in Montana, and set
tiers in that region are greatly alarmed
over the warlike attitude of the Indians.
There is general exodus of white people
from the reservation.
The Indians are indulging in a series
of sun and willow dances, which are
causing great fear among the whites. The
reds are dancing night and day and con-
stantly growing uglier.
Late arrivals from the reservation de-
clare the Indians have not been so
wrought up in years. A few days ago a
government disbursing agent went on the
reservation and paid out $4,000, since
which time the Indians have been unusu-
ally active and restless. Prior to that
time everything was moving smoothly.
The menacing attitude of the Indians
frightened the government employees and
a number of them told Engineer Holt. in
charge Of the work, that they would not
take any chances, threw up their jobs
and left the reservation.
The Cheyenne tribe numbers about
5000, and is making enough noise to keep
the entire reservation in a condition Of
nervous apprehension.

placed upon him by the Washington
health authorities He borrowed little
money from a friend, in order to meet
some of his expenses. and this, together
with the $50 contributed by the public.

his wife and babies.
Early and his wife were formerly Off
GERS in the Salvation Army. but the army
has done practically nothing for him
since he was Quaran lined a year ago. He
applied to the executive officers of the
Salvation Army when he was in dire
need a few weeks ago, before the news
of his plight reached the local papers,
but he was given no encouragement
whatever, nor any promise Of employ
ment.
The only income Of his family since his
pension was cut off has been earned by
his wife, a frail little woman, who has
done some work for the neighbors.
