RESTLESS RED MEN.

INDIAN OUTBREAKS FEARED IN THE WEST. Settlers Scent Danger in Growing Uneasiness in Arizona and Nebraska— Jersey City Policeman’s Life Knded by Action of a Celluloid Collar. Troops Sent to Protect Settlers. From the tenor of communications received by Col. Sumner at Denver, Colo., during the last few days it appears that the Indiana in the department of the Colorado and the Missouri, which are under liia comma ml, are displaying an unusual restlessness, which bodes no good for the settlers in the vicinity of the various reservations. The danger of an outbreak in Arizona has become so imminent that CoJ. Sumner has ordered two trooi>* of cavalry from Fort llu a chu.cn to the Mexican lKwiulary line, with orders to'move along that line from Nogales, Ariz., to the gulf of California, observing a strict patrol of the entire border. Another troop lies been ordered from Fort Grant to Fort Huaohucn to garrison the latter while the troops are in the field, and to be prepared to assist these troops in case of trouble. One troop of the Eighth cavalry recently was ordered from Fort Meade, S. I)., to Fort Washakie, Wyo., and there is a possibility that this force will be side-tracked and sent to Fort Niobrara, Neb., instead. Col. Sumner has received a petition for troops from a large number of settlors in the portion of Nebraska adjoining the Sioux reservation, who believe the Sioux aTe planning a wholesale massacre of whitesr Killed by His Collar. The almost olwolete celluloid collar question has been revived by the death of Policeman Enoch Perry in Jersey City, N. J. Policeman Perry expired from the effects of a carbuncle on his neck, caused, Ida relatives say, by a celluloid collar, which he was compelled to wear by order of the police authorities. Some time ago an order was issued from police headquarters in Jersey City requiring patrolmen to wear white gloves and collars. White cotton gloves were specified and a regulation collar made of celluloid was named ns the decoration for the police neck. A few days ago a carbuncle developed on Perry’s neck and he told his fellow policemen that it had been caused by the irritation of the celluloid collar. Race for the Pennant.
