Some of the papers are still harping
on the Indian outrages in Lincoln

virtue of originality or the attribute
of being amusing. The Indians COUNT
commit any of the outrages charged
and live to perpretrate a second. Their
numbers are so few and their ambiti-

take the trouble to go on the warpath

of those lurid tales had the ability
