THEFT.
| On looking about him further the crew saw that
he was surrounded by gaping crowd OF Indians.
They were regarding the Dolly with great curiosity,
not one venturing near enough to touch
1t. They were, however, examining all
the camp utensils. and without any attempt at dis
guise, were hssping themselves to our bread and
crackers. Upon looking toward the tree IL was
discovered that the sack containing our pork was
gone. This was terrible loss, and the guide ap-
pearing soon alter discovered the loss before he
could be told oft. He was IN furious passion,
and 1t was In vain that the Indians shrugged their
shoulders and charged the theft upon the dogs.
The guide swore that o dog could not climb tree
even as well as q squaw.
Word was sent to the old Indian who had offered
his hospitality to the crew. and he was told that II
his squaw would get breakfast for rs he would be
well paid. Mrs. Lo readily acceded.

the two players must have arranged the matter on
the principle OF the general order system, for,

irom the old Indian. The latter worked himself
into fearful state Of enthusiasm over the game,
and accompanied the widest gesticulatlons with
one thing after another, until the crew began to
entertain fears that there would be nothing remain

among the crew, the squaw demanded and received
another plug Of tobacco; and she then charged
more than two prices for small sack OF maple
sugar. All this was borne In quiet.
