There Is one danger incident to
Indian warfare to which a soldier
of the colored regiments is not ex.
posed-he runs DO risk Of being
sralped-so says an officer Of the
Ninth Cavalry in a recent interview.
The Indians call the negroes buffalo
soldiers" referring TO their close
woolIy hair, and nothing would in
duce them to take an Ethiopian
scalp. They believe it to be bad
medicine" certain TO bring misfor-
tune, and not a case can be cited in
which a colored man has lost his
hair. The soldiers know this, and
il j. astonishing with how much
confidence this knowledge inspires
them. A soldier of the Fourth
Cavalry was once killed by the Co.
manches. He was a very hairy man,
and the Indians skinned him from
his head nearly to his waist. This
glsastly trophy was captured several
years after ii was taken, having
heen preserved by the tribe as good
medicine" of most remarkable eff
iciency.
