the Tonkawas on the other, both on
hunting expeditions, hence with women
and children along. The Tonkawas sent
word to the Shawnees one day that #
they wanted anything out Of them to
come over" They wanted something
and they got it. They crossed the stream.
First the rival chiefs advanced. In single
combat. while the tribes looked on, the
Shawnee chief slew the Tonkawa. Two
lesser chiefs advanced. Same result
Then the general mix-up came, but the
Tonkawas were ratified by the loss of
two champions in succession and at this
disadvantage We're entirely defeated in a
general massacre which spared not one
single warrior, squaw nor papoose. The
Tonkawas today are the descendants Of
