For ten days families and parties
had been struggling into the agency
from Dakota and the several Mime
sofa settlements. Their tribal villages
dotted the rising hills west of the
agency and while the big White
Chief" and the members of his party
were welcome enough to inspect the
several camps, his sense of the eternal
mines OF things was not disturbed by
any painful attempts at hospitality
The food supply in the several camps
was apparently ample for the day and
not even purchase of bread was sug-
gested to the august visitors.
The celebration was to begin at 5
o'clock Monday morning. The white
chief and his followers were to be
startled at dawn with national sa-
lutte of heavy guns. So far as the
guests know the salute may material

began to take on an air of mild ami
nation at 10 o'clock. The very good
brass bands composed of the students
of the agency school, a coed organiza-
ton, and cornet band including in it's
membership the representatives of a
more mature set, paraded through the
agency street All of the 5000 Indians
not participating in the coming cere-
monials and another 1000 whites, ex-
cursioniSts, some of them from points
as remote as Cincinnati, scrambled for
places in view of the peace council.
Smoke Pipe of Peace.
Off the tepee- dotted hills rode a band
of 100 gaudily attfred Chippewas led by
Chiefs Mesha Kegeshig, Wadena and
Nay -wab, redoubtable warriors
with a record of six Sioux scalps taxi
en- single handed in one night. Slowly
they rode through the agency singing
in suppressed monotone. A gun shot
and the Chippewas started on the re-
turn drive, with whoops that might
mean defiance or welcome, war or
peace.
From the opposite direction came the
Sioux led by Ah-zee-zhe, Wa-ha-nu-
ha and Weiss. The chiefs dismounted
walked before their tribes, and as the
parties approached the prearranged
meeting point, began to simulate the
extreme of caution They crossed and
recrossed the narrow road, bent in
the posture of scouts. With a half
hundred feet separating the parties. a

began a flirtatious sort of dance pass

tive followers.

of death. Mesha Kegeshig, the sole
survivor of the chiefs who signed the
treaties of 1863-64-67; Wadena, the
one Indian on the reservation who con-

Minnesota and the Northwest. It's

tiny, sparkling lakes and free from
