The ladies of Fort Robinson, Nebraska have recently been in hysterics over a visit from Wild Hog, the celebrated Cheyenne chief, who, they feared, was contemplating an attack upon the fort in case the troubles with the Cheyennes in Indian territory was not adjusted. There are only 48 soldiers at the fort pending the arrival of the Ninth Cavalry and Wild Hog was the chief of the band of one hundred Indians who in 1879 massacred the guards and 15 other soldiers, who were slaughtered in the buttes back of the fort. He is now at the head of another band in the neighborhood, who cherish a very active feeling of revenge. Whenever their squaws come near the fort, they shriek loudly and tear their hair in token of their hostility.
