for determination of that band of invaders party
of three hundred gathered within the brief space of
half hour and armed with breech-loaders, set
out to attack the party of twenty-five or thirty
white men.
More than winking at the move, Red Cloud,
Spotted Tail and American Horse stayed in their
tepees. Only High Wolf of the war Chiefs went
with the party, and these, knowing his pacific
disposition, ignored his presence utterly. Young
Chief Running Elk was in charge of the expedition,
and High Wolf rode in the with the untried
youngsters.
In due time taking short cut, the war party
reached Hat Creek Valley and cunningly ensconced
themselves in the mouth of a timbered couee COM
handing the trail down which Jenney had passed
two months before. Although he had ridden in
the rear High Wolf in the posting of the forces
took position in the of the scouts who, behind
rocks and bushes were set to watch the approach
of the prospectors
1t about dawn when the Sioux took their
position, and at little after sunrise the rumble of
wagon wheels, the cracking of whips and the shouts
of teamsters were heard far up the fiat and canon
like valley.
The hostiles were now on the qpei 5iUe, each man
looking to his gun and htching his ammunition belt
into convenient position. Nearer and nearer drew
the rumble of wheels and the swapping of mule
whips, until the foremost of the teams were nearly
within gunshot.
Then High Wolf suddenly 1eaped upon his pony
and rode out into the valley. The scouts posted
at hand were astonished, but thinking that at
last their Chief wished to distinguish himself by
being the first to attack the whites, they took no
action. Then the foremost teams came into
view, rounding a cottonwood grove, High Wolf
charged directly at them, apparently attacking the
whole train handed. Aiming above the wag-
ons, he fired his Winchester as rapidly as he could
work the lever of its magazine.
The teamsters, amazed at this bold attack, re-
piled to his fire, but suspectng the presence of hos
tiles in force, wheeled rapidly and steered their
whole train into cover of the cottonwoods where
they corraled their wagons and speedily put them
selves in position for defense.
So expeditions were the prospectors in taking
to good cover that the Indians. as soon as the
fact was known among them, Immediately aban-

ton, firing from the of ravnes into the woods.
In the meantime High Wolf had escaped I'M
harmed from the transfers fire and rode swiftly
homeward. For this bold and successful feat of
rescue High Wolf expected trial and death at the
hands of his tribesmen. His trial. indeed speedily
followed, but the wiser CounSels prevailed and his
life was spared
After this he was, l believe practically without
influence among the fighting element of his people.
But reverses at the hands of his trbesmen or of
the white men, whom he certainly served to profit
less consideration, could daunt his optimistic
humor.
His marital alliance had evidently proved happy

three hundred pounds, was as good-natured as him

But among them all there was no person
atty so interesting to me at any time as that of
High Wolf.
1t is believed by many that Indians have no
human side and especially no sense of humor
Nothing could be farther from the truth. Of all
the jolly comrades | have fraternized with, High
Wolf was certainly of the best humored. In
weeks of acquaintance | never saw him other than
a highly interesting and laughing companion in
all the ventures undertook together. And as
we became excellent friends, camping side by side
for eight or ten weeks, these ventures many,
and their incidents ranged from the busting" of
broncos to the shooting of elk and grizzly and the
capture of catfish in the deep pools of the Platt
| knew Red Cloud and was on friendly terms with
him, but High Wolf was my comrade.
| think the reader may be interested in knowing
something of the history of this famous chief and
there are some incidents which, though they have
been neglected belong to the history of our deal
ings with the Sioux.
In the first place, after the Sioux treaty made at
Fort Laramie some fifty years since, High Wolf
the leader in all the tribes who never ceased
to use his influence toward the fulhlment, the
part of the Indians, of all the provisions of that
treaty. More than High Wolf, during the
progress of our border wars with the Sioux not
only gave wise counsel, but nterfered at personal
peril with the schemes of his hostile tribesmen bent
upon determination of the whites.
One of these instances deserves narration here
Shortly after the discovery of gold in the Black
Hills, following the exploration of Custer and the
subsequent expedition of Professor Jenney, miners
and prospectors from all parts of the country formed
outfits in various numbers and pushed their way
out upon the Sioux reserve. The Sioux were right
eously indignant at this infringement upon their
treaty rights and promptly prepared for war. Few
indeed were the leaders among them who sought to
restrain the uprising High Wolf however,
consistently and ferventy devoted to peace from
beginning to end of the invasion and of the treaty
negotiations which followed

0NE day in the summer of
1886, at my railway camp
~ at old Fort Fetterman,
there came along the dusty trail
two persons driving a single
horse hitched to an old spring
wagon, every wheel of which
creaked and groaned like an in
termittent wall for the dead. One
of these was a small Indian
dressed in a citizens faded suit
and a SLOUGH hat, and the other
a big woman who occupied
three-fourths of the seat and who
was arrayed in calico of a vivid
red-and-white polka pattern,
with the dots immensely large.
The vehicle halted in front of
my commissary tent where | was
sitting in the shade of a cotton
wood reading one of the latest
novels.

man beside the big woman.

manner; and if anyone had told
me at the moment that the ia
nous Chief High Wolf was con-

it was. The little short man,
dwarfed to insignihcance beside
the big woman, was none other
than the most powerful friend of
white men to be found in all the
