scalp
New YORK, July 2e.h. The San
has this: Federmeyef, the Wheel
barrow man, if he has proved moth
ing else by bis tramp across the
Continent, has shown up the falsity
of the theory that the Indians OF
the far West are always eager to
take white mans scalp. He
travelled more safely, by night and
day, among those Western savages,
than he could have done in five
months journey through the
streets of New York. Indians in
plenty he and his companion saw,
but they did not harm hair of the
heads of the two travellers, nor did
they pilfer from the much-trundled
barrow. 1t was prudent for FEEDER
meyer and Pattee to let the Indians
alone, and that policy became their
complete protection.
