by the women. Hooka Jim WAS identified
by Mrs. Boldly as one of the Indians con-
cerned in the massacre in question. The wo-

troll over their feelings, began crying, and
started in for desperate work. Mrs. Scheera
drew a pistol and started for Steamboat Frank,
and Mrs. Boldly drew q knife and dashed at
Hooka Jim. Gen. Davis stepped in and So
cured both weapons. During the struggle the
General received q slight cut in the palm of
