Her charming face was as pure as snow
And his heart was caught in the golden flow
Of the ringlets of saucy Kate

On manly shoulder Nesting low;
And, seen 'gainst the cheek Of another beau,
That hair was only red.

Owing to It's great extent 1t Is very
easy for the Indians to keep out of the

that the Indians are well supplied with
arms and ammunition. They are said
TO be good lighters and fight altogether
on horseback. The last trouble
with the Cheyennes occurred about

moro than year. 1t was caused by
