After the battle there lay on the field
100 warriors and twenty women and
children OF the troops. twenty-nine
were killed and thirty-eight wounded.
On the afternoon of the fourth day
succeeding the contest there was found,
fast bound by strap to its lifeless
mother and partly covered with snow, .
live Indian baby girl.
The child. which is supposed to belong
TO the tribe Of Uncpapas, was only
slightly frozen about the head, hands
and feet. She was taken TO the agency
by the direction of General l.. V. Colby,
commander of the Nebraska state troops,
and kept until the hostilities ended and
the state and federal troops returned to
their stations.
General Colby then took the little
waif TO his home ut Beatrice, Neb..
where he and his wife adopted her a.
their own. The Indian woman who had
charge of her at the agency gave her the
musical Indian name of Zintka Lanuni,
which means Lost Bird.
The dusky maid has fallen into good
hands. General and Mrs. Colby have
no children Of their own. and Zintka
Lanrini must rely on the stoicism Of her
race to save her from being spoiled by
the homage she receives. She is at pres
ent with her foster parents in Washing.

middle class people. We are of the mid

people live In Cats, and some Of them

Naude, who wished to show that she
was thorough mistress of the machine,
exchanged with her.
The other woman rode Maude's BIZ

put her foot through one of the wheels.
After that Maude wouldn't trust her

mounting her own bicycle, my vito

at once became alarming. The wheel
was spinning like a dynamo and the
dress was wound round and round it,
and woven into the spokes TO such an
extent that when the catastrophe came
and Maude found herself PROSTATE in
the road 1t was nearly impossible TO
distinguish her fragments from those Of
the bicycle. The other women stood
