would also maintain his office.
The erection of several storehouses
was in contemplation, provided
the authorities at Washington ap-
proved the plan.
On March 10, Captain Ewers pur-
chased in the open market in Miles
City some supplies with which to make
an issue to the Indians. He bought
1000 pounds of beef from S. D. Long.
The firm Of Leighton & Jordan fur
nished him with 500 pounds Of bacon.
500 pounds of sugar, one ton of flour.
$50 pounds of beans and a barrel of
baking powder. He announced that he
would continue to purchase supplies
in the open market until the contract
for the supply of these Indians was
let.
The purpose of the establishment of
this band Of Cheyenne Indians at Fort
Keogh was believed at the time to be
in connection with a possible uprising
Their removal from Pine Ridge would
reduce the Indian population to the
extent of their number brought to the
military post.
Anticipations were believed to have
been warranted by reason Of the an
nouncement that the United States
grand jury at Deadwood. South
Dakota, had returned an indictment
against the Sioux Indian, Plenty
Horse, for the murder of Lieutenant
Casey Of Fort Keogh who was treach-
erously slain following the Wounded

GUS mid-winter.

TT would appear that as the auth
critics now claim that the Indians are
fully fed and cared for. the proper
officers at Fort Keogh should inter-
vene to protect cattlemen from an I'M
position of this nature. 1t can not be
claimed that the cattlemen receive
anv benefit from the Indians. for they
are not allowed to feed on the reserVa-
ton. nor are they allowed to hold their
cattle in the bottom.
The cattle must be bedded down

party of Sioux visited the Cheyenne
on Tongue river. 1t was regarded by
the authorities as a friendly gesture,
for the visitors were permitted to go
on to the Lame Deer community,
where, they announced, they were
going to have dance.
At the same time a group of 125
Brule, Ogallala and Pine Ridge Sioux
came to the mouth of Otter creek, in
the Ashland region, on Tongue river
where they also held a dance.
The visitors announced that they
were making a perpetual peace with
the Cheyennes, but it was remarked
by white people in the neighborhood
they had their misgivings in regard to
the affection these two tribes enter
tanned for each other.
The concern exercised by white citi-
zens had to do with the question If
the Indians could ever be brought to
the point where they could be reason
ably considered to be civilized. For
parallel to the practice of the Chey-
enne Indians under the charge Of
Captain Ewers demanding beef from
the herds of white men who crossed
them over the Yellowstone river is the
story told in the summer of 1891 of
two Indians. one of whom had stolen
a horse from the other. The founda-
ton laid for the story shows that one
of the Indians had long contact with
white men. The tale as it was told
reads as follows:

who, with his wife, took to the

said to have been "publicized and

but Frederick v. Dankowsi. This

Sergeant H. C. Thompson, who, before
his retirement from the army, had
been a member of Captain Ewers COM
pany, then interpreter at Fort Keogh,
and who was witness of the Wounded
Knee battle, was summoned to appear
at Deadwood on April 18th.
However, from Pierre, South Dakota,
had come word that one, Charley Rus
sell, testifying in court, was quoted as
saying for himself and the Indians
that there would be no Indian upris-
ing, "as the Indians have been thor
oughly whipped, and appreciate the
fact that Winchester rifles cannot
stand before Calling and HotchkisS
guns" He testified that the larger
number of Indians had no ammuni-

Wolf Voice was one Of the Chey-

he did not take kindly to the new law
which broke up the Indian scout COM
panies and enlisted the aborigines in
the regular army.

men to a company, he continued, and
it will be very hard matter to find
men enough to enlist, even if they are
willing"
Even with the civilizing influence
arising out of contact with white men,
Artist Remington to the hostile camp
of the Sioux at Pine Ridge, said that
with regard to the conduct of the war:
The Big Chief at Washington no
good; he's afraid to fight: the Chey-
ennes like very much to have a good
fight with the Sioux
Prepared for Uprising
The indications were that the Chey-
enne Indians, in charge of Captain
Ewers, were to remain Indefinitely at
the Fort Keogh reservation. The Of
ficer announced in late March, 1891,
he had received $4,000 with which to
buy supplies in the open market for
his Indians until the regular appropri-
alton was made. B. K. Holt, father Of
former Gov. W. Elmer Holt within re-
cent years, reported he had sold 10000
pounds of beef to Captain Ewers for
his Indians.
Although the war department was
taking no chances it was apparent
that every precaution possible was be-
ing exercised to meet any situation
which might arise by reason of any
Indian uprising During the month of
July following three companies of in
fantry, A. G. and E Of the 22d regi-
ment, arrived at Fort Keogh to take
station. Troop D of the First cavalry
was due to arrive shortly thereafter.
The force at the garrison was in
creased by three companies. since
Troop x of the 9th cavalry was trans
ferred to Fort Meade.
With the quieting of rlmors of
Indian restlessness on account of any
influences exerted by the so-called
Messiah Men" the presence of Cap
tain Ewers Cheyenne Indians brought
occasion for white stockgroWers to do
some uprising" on their own account.
The Indians which are camped
above Fort Keogh have inaugurated a
custom which. while it is more than
gratifying to their inner man, is not
appreciated by cattlemen." said the
Stockgrowers' Journal in its edition of
July IS.
In driving herds across the river
it is necessary to pass near the Indian
camp. and for some reason they de-
mand a beef from each herd which is
driven to the north side. The demand
has been complied with by the owners.
They have now become insolent in the
from each herd driven to the river. -
Origin of Demand
The demand had its origin in the
fact that when the first herd arrived
during the spring previous, H. R. Phil
lips, manager Of the Phillips Cattle
and Land company. ranging on the
Little Dry and tributaries from its
head to the mouth Of Rock creek, gave
the Indians beef on condition that
they would move their tents some little
distance from the trail to the river
marked out by the military authori-
ties
THE demand for a beef since then
has been complied with because there
was no particular hardship in it," it
said but the imposition on good
nature begins to be felt by the Home
Land and Cattle company. which
crosses seven herds to the north side,
already having crossed three herds

Ceremonies Before
Assembly of 400

Before 400 relatives and friends in
the Calvary Baptist Church last
night, Robert Newell Zearfoss was
ordained a minister of the Baptist
Church in ceremonies led by DR..
William s. Abernethy.
Mr.. Zearfoss, who was born and
educated in Washington, recently
graduated from the Colgate -Roches-
ter Divinity School, after a three
year period of study. He is also
graduate of Wesleyan College at
Middletown, Conn.
In delivering the charge, DR.. Aber-
nethy pointed out that the spiritual
level OF church will rise no higher
than that of its pastor and advised
the newly ordained young minister
to seek a parish beyond that of his
own church and in a broad field in
which he might give attention to
wide moral and civic matters"
DR.. Raphael H. Miller, pastor of
National City Church, whose son is
now enrolled at the Colgate
ester Divinity School, discussed the
wider life to be lived as minister
of Jesus Christ.
After the Rev. Frank E. Johnston,
assistant pastor Of Calvary Church,
presented Mr.. zearfoss with Bible
on behalf of the congregation, the
Rev. c. K. Newell, grandfather of
the young man, stepped to a raised
platform and offered the prayer
OF ordination as five other ministers
laid their hands on Mr.. Zearfoss'
shoulders.
Participating in the ceremonies
were DR.. A. w. Beaven, president
OF the Colgate -Rochestra Divinity
School; the Rev. Len F. Stevens,
pastor Of Kendall Baptist Church;
DR.. Abernethy, Mr.. Johnston, and
the Rev. E. o. Clark, pastor of Chevy
Chase Baptist Church. DR.. Clark
read the scripture. DR.. Beaven
preached the ordination sermon.
Mrs. Zearfoss, the former Lenora
V. Coberth, married the young min
lister last September. She attended
