the hostiles' strength had been re-
duced. So had the number of troop
ers, and the wounded horses, unable
to respond to the bugle call, neighed
pitifully from where they had gone
down in the charge.
The wounded were being looked
after and their misery eased where
that seemed possible, when Donald
Mckay took the floor, and, in stentor-
ian tones and Snake dialect, told the
hostiles they had better cease firing
and surrender; otherwise the soldiers
would kill the last one of them.
A defiant answer came rolling bacl(
and just then an Indian woman holdS
ing up baby rushed toward the SOL
d1ers, saying she would surrender to
save her child. A shot followed from
the gulch she had left, and her own
husband became her murderer. He
was stalking out to secure the baby
when bullet from McKay's carbine
ended his career. This baby boy was
afterward raised by a pioneer cattle
man named Altnow, and became the
Creek Range.
After a twenty-minute parley the
hostiles were given their choice Of
determination or surrender, and final
ly chose the latter. Sulkily they came
into camp, what was left of them,

many more lay dead and dying around

A sorry-looking camp it was, but
there was meat in it, for the Indians
had killed and dried most of Henry
Heppners mules, and they had several
sacks of dried crickets and cowse and
camas, and little -four stolen at An
telope. And this was all they had TO
offer the guests who had intruded on
them.
But where Indians can live, soldi0
can exist, and the late Thanksgiving
breakfast was nearly over when
"Gobble! Gobble! Gobble!"
Those were the words which came
from the adjoining sage brush. and

at Camp Watson. Such news always
| brought that stirring call.
Thanksgiving thoughts were laid
aside; they would have to keep for
another year. Capt. Boute.;e's troop
ers were quickly mounted. Their
trailer was Donald Mckay, whose
grandfather was John Jacob Astor's
partner, and his grandmother prin-
cess of Concomly's Chinook tribe.
Away went the troopers just as the
westering sun went behind a cloud
which broadened and blackened and
soon began to patter down in rapid
raindrops.
1t was to be swift pursuit and a
sudden striking of the enemy, and SO
every trooper travelled light, except as
to ammunition. which was $50 rounds
to the man. And big 50-caliber cart
rides they were in those days.

/ It was dark when the troopers
stumbled onto the trail. And how it
rained! Every man was soaking wet.
Every rock was af1oat. The prance
had evaporated from the horses, and
; they stuck close to the trail, tails
tucked under. All night they stuck
| to it, and covered many miles.
A good trailer was Donald Mckay,
and the footballs of his trained cayuse
told him in the dark the kind of
tracks he was stepping in. Where a
small party of the hostiles had
! branched off to the northwest Donald
.knew their number and guessed their
object.
Silently the pursuit continued. Day
| light could not be much further away
than over the next divide. Suddenly
in the darkness just ahead, what was
that? The yelp of coyote? If so,
it would soon be followed by chorus.
No. 1t was the bark of the coyotes
close cousin, an Indian dog.
Soon it was followed by another
bark, and bang! A bullet tipped past
the troopers.
Then came the defiant war whoop,
telling that the Indians had put none
but Americans on guard that night,
and that the warriors were stirring
and ready to meet the United States,
the great nation with whom they were
| at war.
Quickly the troopers accommodated
them. There were volleys from both
sides, dashing cavalry charge
through the camp, a reassembling by
bugle call on the other side and
another rush through
1t was blind business in the dark,
but the Indians gave shot for shot as
they scattered around in the sage
brush and posted themselves in ra-
vines.

scene was one of extraordinary bril-
lance, the sambre interior of the

SUPPOSED CHICKEN
THIEF CAUGHT

The much talked of chicken thief
who has been stealing chickens on
the North Side was captured this
morning, according to the police re-
ports.
The man accused of raiding his
neighbors' chicken coops is Jesse
Smith, living at 2125 Sharp avenue.
Smith is So years old and gives his
occupation as a real estate man.
The chicken house of Mrs. Johnston
at 2120 Boone avenue was raided the
other night and a dozen chickens
stolen
Early this morning Mrs. G.. Weller
heard the dogs barking and, looking
out of the window, saw a man enter
ing the Johnston yard again. She
notified her husband and Mr. Weller
got up and followed the man, who
was carrying something in a bag
over his arm.
Weller followed the man to the
Smith home and then notified the
police. Officers McDermott and San
born responded and found Smith, who
was apparently under the influence of
liquor.
A dozen chickens were found in
Smiths possession. His children told
the officers that the father had been
out every night for the past two
weeks and came home in the morning
drunk.
Smith was arrested and taken to
the station. The chickens are now
at the police headquarters to be used
as evidence. They have been identi-
fed as the property of Mrs. Johnston.
