There has been some trouble in Montana with the Cheyenne Indians.

The spring and early summer is the time when most of the Indian
uprisings occur. During the winter these people sit round in their
tepees or lodges, and listen to the tales of daring told them by their
old warriors. All the savage spirit that is in the young bucks is
excited by these tales, and the young men of the tribes become restless,
wanting to show that they too can be as brave as their fathers were.

When the spring comes, and there is enough grass to feed their ponies,
many of them slip away from the reservations, where the Government
keeps them and feeds them, and go on the war-path.

As the West has become more thickly settled these raids have been less
and less frequent, and it is now a long time since the families of
settlers have had to flee from their homes for fear of the red men.

In Miles City, Mont., however, family after family has been arriving
within the last few days, seeking refuge there until the country becomes
quiet again.

The reason of this is that one of the chiefs, called White Bull, is
reported to be on the war-path with some two hundred braves.
