WICHITA, Kan., Nov. 12. -- A special from Cantonment announces the death of the noted and cruel Cheyenne chief, Stone Calf, who died yesterday at his camp near Cantonment, of spinal meningitis. Stone Calf was widely known and influential with the tribe of which he was principal chief. He was the leader in the troubles of last spring, always lived in remote parts of the reservation, and never obeyed the agent if he could help it. He was a terror to the cattlemen, and previous to the annulling of the grass leases regularly raided the private herds with his band. He led the outbreak of 1874, at which time he took captive two white girls by the name of Germain, who, it will be remembered, were afterwards delivered to the United States authorities after several suffering every possible indignity at the hands of the red whelp.
