IL was naaly decided TO spare my life for a

Black Cloud wanted his son back, some OF
his advisers c0ntended that be should wait
until securing some cheaper prisoner. They
insisted on making me out = very important

killed or wounded several OF the tribe IN
Different scrimmages. Another thing that
bothered them was how 10 make the ex-
change and not get beaten. Treacherous
and deceitful 10 the last degree themselves,
they would not credit the whites with hav-
ing any honor. IL was argued too, that the
commander Of the fort would exchange the
boy FOR private soldier or any sort OF pris-
oner, and that had done them too much
damage 20 be set at liberty. There were
three days in which my fate was undecided.
