An Interesting Relic.


WAR SHIELD BROUGHT BY STANLEY FROM ASIA
MINOR.
Col. Samuel F. Tappan, now in this city, has in
his possession piece of armor, steel or iron
woven shield or shirt presented to him at Fort
Laramie, Wyoming Territory, eighteen years ago.
by Henry NJ. Stanley, the explorer, who at that
time was travelling out among the indians as cor
respondent of the New York Tribune with Col
Tappan, member Of the Indian peace commits
sion, composed of Generals sherman, Harvey
Terry, Anger, Sanborn and others, to make peace
with the Sioux Indians, then at war; and other
tribes.
Two years previous, in 1866, Mr.. Stanley was
travelling with party in Asia Minor when they
were suddenly surrounded, captured and robbed
by brigands, who held them for ransom. Stanley
managed to make his escape and reaching vii
lage he reported the matter to the authorities
who furnished him an armed force with which he
succeeded In Overtak1ng and capturing the gang at
or near the village of ChihiSSuar when they were
brought to Il speedy trial, found guilty and exc
cuted. The prisoners were released and that part
OF the country relieved from the depreciation of
desperate band, who had terrOriZed it for many
years. This shield was found among the personal
effects OF The brigandS and is supposed TO have
been worn by its CHIEF. Mr.. Stanley came to
America the next year-lS67-bringing this with
him either as curiosity or trophy OF the event.
Mr. Stanley, who recently returned TO this country
and is now in New York, is expected to come here
at an early day.
