C&A Letter Book Vol. 12:107-110. Lee to Commanding Officer, Ft.
Reno, I.T. Jan. 19, 1886.
Lee wants detachment of 15 Cheyenne Indian scouts sent to Cheyenne and Cottonwood Creeks near the Cimaron River to compel 7 lodges of Indians from these points back to the reservation. Star has 5 lodges and Flying Hawk has 2. These Cheyennes refused the beef issue from the agency herd. They took beef from the T5 ranch on the Cherokee Strip. Put Flying Hawk in the guard until his case can be attended to. Star has a good reputation. They know full well they have no right to live off the reservation. Salutary effect by making an example of one of them. Text Copyright (c) 2004 Sipes/Berthrong Collections. Cattlemen and Trespassing on Reservation. |

Wm. M. Pulling to C.F. Ashley,
Oct. 5, 1892. ...schools filled to over 70 pupils in attendance. The Cheyennes came in large numbers for a talk with me. 5 Companies of "Dog Soldiers" being present a part of whom came mounted and drawn up in line firing Winchesters into the air( in demonstration of joy, I suppose). Among their first questions was, " Are you afraid?" I said "No". Short speeches were made by No-com-is-tah, Red Lodge, Whirlwind, Little Medicine, Little Big Jake, Howling Wolf, Little Man, Medicine Crazy, Roman Nose Thunder, Left Hand Woman, White Horse, Man-on-Cloud, and Star. The burden of which was self-praise for their conduct, request for a feast, and to ask that beef issues be made weekly hereafter( in recognition, I suppose, of their distinqished favors, they ask me to write their speeches.....I gave them a small feast from the commissary and will send a copy of the speeches later. Some of the whites think I need not have received them in council. There was no real use, but for peaces sake I listened patiently, and they went away pleased. I believe that all the new scholars reside in the Sub-Agency. John Sipe. |
