The first Indians that came out of the

were loaded with hOwitzer ammunition,
and they killed the packers in charge.
BY this time Captains Whipple and
Perry had diSmounted their cavalrymen

by a rapid fire, and so they saved the
ammunition from capture, a brave

They successfully maSSed the train near
the cavalry horses, and well beyond the

be done. Trimble was brought back,
and all the remaining companies were
put into position. Our line had now its
infantry on the right. and next in sue

America is a good hunting ground as
even the earliest settlers discovered.
Pretty soon primitive American dogs, in
a sort of informal way, of course, began
to tell their owners where snipe, grouse,
quail, prairie chickens, woodcook and
numerous other game birds could be
found. These dogs were the best OF
natural hunters, but the time came
when it was seen that they needed a
careful training. After time English
dogs were imported and tested with
those of the rative breed.
1t was found that the standard OF eX-
cel.ence of the native dogs was not high
enough. The vide area, difficulties OF
communication, and many other infn-
ences, had caused deterioration all
round. and the imported stock was SUI
perior. This, however, was quickly
remedied, and it has been for some years
considered that American dogs could
hold their own against the world. In
ternational tests were not at the begin
ming arranged, for dog culture in Amer
