Treatment of the Cheyenne Indians

An item in our news column reports the disgraceful and wicked treatment of the Cheyenne Indians by United States soldiers. Still later reports say that the number was finally reduced to eighteen men and about half that number of women and children. At length these companies of soldiers gallantly charged upon this almost defenseless company of savages, slaughtering all but one of the men, and wounding the remainder of the party. This is one of the most flagrant of the acts of injustice and fraud which in these later years have disgraced our boasted civilization.
