was agreed to, calling on the secretary

bet with his friends that he
! could put rife bullet through the In
J dams hat without touching his head.
: He made a slight mistake, however.
, and put the bullet through his mead
. instead OF his hat. The Indians felt
OUTRAGED by this, and In the excite
: mont growing out OF the Incident
: burned a house belonging 10 the
cow-bOys. The house-burDors were
