Undressing Was Not Bathing.

! In 1868 President Lincoln sent a
force under Gen. Henry II. Sibley TO
punish the Indians for their barbara
fties in Minnesota and Dakota, and
drive them back TO the Rocky noun
tain plains. Among the many incl
dents of the Sibley expedition against
the Sioux which are still nfOat in Da-
kota, is the following: On the return
the camps were usually made on the
banks of a lake or river, and fire.
quently when the men learned where
the camp would be some OF them
would rush for ward and have tath
this rolled up the water and made il
unfit for camp purposes. This action
so incensed Gen. Sibley that he issued
an order prohibiting bathing until
the officer of the day should an
nOunce that the water had been ST.
cured for camp purposes and The
stock had been Watered.
One night the camp had been ma ie
on the banks Of a small lake. Can't.
Horace Austin was the officer of the
day, and he sent detail to the lake
in charge of Sergt. S. Z. ChildS, now
of Mankato, to see that the generals
order was Oheyed. Childs saw man
come down to the lake shore, look at
the water, step back behind bush
Yand commence undressing. Soon he
was disrobed and walked to the edge
of the water and dipped his foot in it
as If to see how cold it was, when
Childs yelled "Haltw "What is the
matter?' asked the would be bathpr.
The sergeant replied the generals
orders were that no bathing should

day had announced sufficient water
had been secured. The man remon-
strated, and finally said that if Child5
knew the order he ought to have in
formed him before he undressed
