A BloodIess Battle.

Indian boys are not born fighters, al- though they will "scrap" once in a while. The News man was going down to TreadwelI via the railroad track last Saturday when he observed two of the natives at war. One was about F and the other 15 years of age, with the sizes in like proportion. The small boy had the larger one flat on his back and was holding him there. The larger one was struggling fiercely, however, and soon had the little fellow under. After wrest- line around awhile they both got onto their feet and then stood close up to each other and argued over some ques- tion of difference. We heard one say something that sounded like "Chow chow" but we must have been mistaken for they were surely not talking about something to eat. Presently they went af it again and fought until they were both apparently tired out, but the strange part of the performance was that not a single blow was struck. It was a bIoodless battle. A number ot natives. both bucks and klootchmen, watched the fight with pensive looks, not a smile being visible. It was pe- culiar contest. The larger of the two hadn't dumped" his nose for at least a week and on account of that member and the grit of the little fellow he was the busiest Indian boy we ever saw.
