The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1876-06-01
A Valuable Relic.

Mr.. VIM. McEndree, a merchant and
banker of Central City, Neb., is about
to take to the Centennial a medal, which
was presented TO Spotted Horse, the
famous chief of the once powerful tribe
of Pawnee Indians, by Gen. jackson,
at the treaty made with that band in
November 1928.
Spotted Horse retained this token of
peace and friendship until his life blood
had dimmed its luster, for he fell in
battle with the Sioux. His eldest son
took the medal and wore it until Feb
ruary, 1862, when he was forced TO sell
it in order 90 save himself from starva-
ton. The value the Indian warrior
placed on it can be estimated from the
fact that he had refused to part with it
for less than six hundred ponies, until
hunger forced him to sacrifice his
treasure, which had been sacredly
guarded by father and son for 43 years.
Mr.. Mcfndree had made valuable
presents to the poverty-stricken chief
from whom he purchased the medal,
yet ii was with tears and manifold pro-
testations that the warrior parted with
the treasured relic, which was regard
ed by the Pawnees as a token of friend
ship and protection from the greatest
of all the great fathers of the white
peopie.-O7nahG Bee.

PARKER'S CONDITION.

New YORK, May 19.-Parker, the
rider in the great mustang race, has al
most recovered from the dangerous
prostration which succeeded his terri
BILE exertion. lie was almost blind for
time, caused by constantly riding in a
circle, but this is passing away. The
physician said it was merely the result
of an overstraining Of the nerves of the
eyes. Every thing considered it is Won
derful how he held out so long. He
was not coached as to his diet and abb
solutely refused to ride the race if not
allowed his own way in the matter. 1t
is stated that new match will be made
for a race, at-.the same place, with
Francesca Peralto, the Mexican rider.
