squaw and when she admitted having
so ordered her daughter he sent her
out Of camp with a band Of warriors
to be executed When the work had
been completed he bravely announced
that hereafter he proposed to be master
of his own family affairs.
The Indian agent never appealed to
Washakie for relief from some thiev-
ing or insulting Indian without having
his complaints promptly investigated.
Washable always listened to both sides
OF story and made UP his mind what
to do. After demonstrating with cul,us
or NO good Indian two or three times.
he simply ordered him shot and thus
removed the cause of trouble. His
band is fast diminishing and soon will
be among the relics of a savage history,
on whose pages may be written many
stories OF bravery, treaehery and bar
barism that future generations of
readers will not believe.
WaShakie died like a Christian. His
baptism was sOlemniZed after he had
passed ninety-three years on earth as a
heather. His last request was that he
be dressed up and buried in a coffin
like a white man. This seemed out of
place in Indian mythology. but was
permitted. The many ceremonies of
ancient customs were observed even
though the chief had Christian bur-
ial. He was succeeded by his son, Dick
Washakfe.

dressed that they retreated to clump
Sf Alakenasp trees and hid in the
brush.
Il In the charge made on the retreatlng
assailants Washakie rushed upon
Sionxs warrior and killed him. The
scalp was taken and the big
thief stood with one foot on
tho adaAens foe while he called to
his mem to witness the marksman-
ship Of the old warrior. His favorite
son. a young brave known as Nam
nang- gal, or Snow Bird, came rushing
up. just from the range where he had
eausht-his pony. His father upbraided
hiRx4pEeteedinesse and showing the
4hite feather.
E"Where have you been so long," de-
banded ( the chief. while his eyes
mapped Indignantly and his lips quiv-
cred with rase..T, an old man. have
Eilledn this Sioux. while you like
sauaw man, come up later. 1 am
ashamed Of such boy"
sYoung Snow Bird felt very bad over
shis reproof from his father. Making
e couFteous bow in recognition Of su-
Ierior power. he reined up his pony.
Shd Strengthening himself in the atti-
ede of q proud bearing, such as should
fbssess the son of a big chief, he thus
SdRfessed the crowd of savage spec
tafOrS.
IT will make myself as great name
a$ my father, or die in the attempt"
f!With the fury of a mad Indian he
charged upon the unseen foes in the
tlees. When near the clump Of bushes
alvOlley of musketry poured forth from
ambush. Snow Bird and his pony fell
tu-the ground pierced with many bull
lets.-With a fiendish war whoop and
brandishing half a hundred scalping
Knives the devilish Sioux came rushing
He vuItures upon their fallen enemy.
Dashing upon his dead carcass they
SlaShed the body into small strips Of
ieskis; and held them aloft as trophies
Sf war and signals of victory, while
they danced in ghoulish glee about the
remnants Of the brave son of Wasnakie.
This act Of fiendish brutality and
savage fury was witnessed by Chief
Washakie, who was powerless to rem
der assistance. Gazing steadfastly at
the barbarians he experienced a change
Of sdemeanor, noticed by every warrior.
His lips quivered, his teeth set and ev-
fn ri OF
eyes swavered and the entire body
seemed to sway as if in the throes of
death. Medicine men rushed to his as
sistance. He mOtiOned them away and
spoke not a word. The battle waged
until nightfall. Washakie was in the
his braves in a manner never known
Before. When the darkness came on he
Went to his lodge alone but not to
sleep Walking about all night, sign
ing and moaning and beating his breast
ne writhed in agony. On the following
morning the Sioux had gone. Washakie
had changed to an old man with white
hair.
Sitting about the camp fire Of big
medicine man the stranger is invited
TO partake of the fried fish of the
Snskes. He may object to the method
of preparing them but must submit to
the ordeal Of eating with the medicine
men. or be regarded as a spy. and
pyObahiy hanged for his peculiarities.
The fish are taken from the river,
which abounds in fine mountain trout.
and tossed on the embers Of hot sage

The old firm of H. & c. New

leans, now faces disgrace in the ex-
pulsion of two of its members from
the New Orleans Cotton Exchange,
for reporting false returns OIL sales
Of cotton. This firm has enjoyed
the confidence of the people of this
and other cotton-raising states for
many years but this incident will,
in future, make them more careful
in their dealings with this firm. It
is always with feeling of regret
that We learn that an old name that
has always carried honor with it
should. by some Of its own acts
bring dishonor upon ITSELF.

Mr.. John Martin, of Yazoo coun-
ty, has fled a claim for pretty near
all the property on which the town
of Gulfport Is located. He said the
tract was formerly owned by his
grandfather, composed of about 500
acres, and was never legally trans
ferred to anyone else.-Greenwood

Should the courts determine that
Mr.. Martins claim was valid, he
will find that the land has enhanced
in value far beyond the hopes Oh
anticipations of his paternal an.

The tendency to meet out speedy
justice to criminals is gaining
ground in this state, and its con-
tinuance will do more to rid the
state of lynchings than all other
agencies combined. Judge Truly
has called a special session in Ad-

charged with the murder of A. D.
Carpenter, and the Kinds county
grand jury was re-assembled to in
vestigate the killing of officer Red
mond, by the negro, Frye. An in
dictment was brought against Frye
and he will be tried at this term of
the court.
