All at C that audience by one

such a shout went up as was never
heard in a Nebraska courtroom. No
one heard Judge Dundy say Court is

Standing Bear. The first to reach him
was Gen. Crook. l was second. The
ledies fiocked toward him, and for an
hour Standing Bear held a reception.
"A few days afterward Judge Dunr-
handed down his famous decision in
which he announced that an Indian
was a person and was entitled to the
protection of the law. Standing Bear
and his followers were set free, and
with his old wagon and the body of his
dead child he went back to the hunt
ing grounds of his fathers and buried
the boy with tribal honors. 1t was the
very first time an Indian was ever per-
mitted to appear in court and have his
rights tried"
Up at the Ponca reservation there is
an cid white-headed Indian Che is the
only known really white-headed In

old and decrepit. But he remembers
Carl Schurz, and still blames him for
r'uch of the hardships through which
the western Indians passed.

Schurz heard of the runaways, and
through the war department tele-
graphed Gen. Crook, in Omaha, to ar
rest the Indians and return them to
Indian Territory.
But the chief of the Omahas, Iron
Eye, went to meet the Poncas and Of
fered them a haven of refuge on the
Omaha reservation.
I'VE have all the land Standing Bear
and his people wish for; we have corn
and meat in plenty; come live with

But the government, through Schurz,
said NO
So Crook arrested the old chief and
brought him and his followers down
to Omaha. And with them came the
wagon bearing the dead child.
Standing Bear told Crook his indi-
vidual story. The great Indian fighter
knew the general history Of the In
dians and was already indignant at
their treatment, but the treatment ac-
corded Standing Bear was too much,
and even the stern warrior rebelled.
Campaign Mapped Out.
That night Crook came into Omaha
and had an all-night's conference with
Tibbles, hen an editorial writer on a
newspaper. A campaign of Indians
rights was mapped out, and both men
started out the next day to carry out
their parts.
Crook was to delay returning the In
dians to Indian Territory until a writ
Of habeas corpus could be asked for
from the United States court on the
ground that the constitution, in the
fourteenth amendment, guaranteed to
all persons born in the United States
equal protection of the law.
Tibbles looked out for the legal end
of'the deal. He went to John l.. Web
ster, then a struggling, unknown young
lawyer, laid his case before him, and
asked him to defend the rights of the
Indian.
There is no money in it, but there
is fame, honor and glory" said Tib-
bies.
Webster took the case, and asked

Duke Of wellington,s vanity.

Among the portraits at the Royal
academy, London, there are some
which could tell stories; some with
little touches of idiosyncrasies of sub
jects no less than of painters. Is the
story of Lawrence's portrait OF the
Duke of Wellington commonly knownf
The duke had only one vanity-his
wrist was like steel. Now, when he
was given the sword OF state to carry
1t was his infinite delight that he was
able to carry it upright; all his prede-
cessors had to slope it toward the
shoulder. He would go down to pos
terity, he resolved, glorifed by the
power of bis wrist.
In vain Sir Thomas Lawrence point
cd out that, as a matter of art, It
would do; that the sight of q
man perennially carrying a sword from
the wrist would fatigue those who
locked at his picture. The duke in

Thomas H. Tibbles attended every
session of that court. In his own
words he describes 1t this way:

Then Mr.. Schurz was made secre-

O~maha.-The late Carl Schurz is best
remembered in Omaha as the cause of
the American Indians being admitted
to full citizenship in this country-not
through his taking the side of the red
men in the long struggle, but because
he, as secretary of the interior, issued
an order which so aroused the west to
the wrongs of the Indian that a cru
4sade was started in Omaha which
reached to all portions of the United
States, lasted seven years, and ended
by supreme court decisions and legisla-
tive enactments making the Indian as
free as a white man II he choose to be
so, and. to accept the conditions of
civilization.
Schurz had the order issued to Gen.
Crook, then stationed at Omaha and
commanding this department of the
army, and Immediately the cause of
the Indian was taken up by Thomas
II. Tibbles, late vice presidential can
didate on the populist ticket; Gen.
Crook, John L. Webster, Judge Dundy,
ard a score of other men prominent in
the west.
Previous to the fight spoken of here
every Indian in the United States was
subject to the orders of the secretary
of the interior. The government was
an absolute autocrat ove the destiny
OF the red man in the entire country.
Pitiful Funeral Procession.
Back in 1879 a pitiful procession
wended its slow way northward from
Indian territory, bound for the prairies
al Nebraska. There were 80 Indians
on foo and one old wagon, drawn by
two wornout horses. In the wagon
was the dead body of a child-an In
dian boy. The leader Of the little par
ty was the father Of the dead child;
tie famous Ponca Indian chief, Stand
ing Bear, a few years later to be the
best-known Indian in the entire world
and to speak in every city in the
country in behalf of his people.
Standing Bears party was en- route
to the Niobrara country, in northern
Nebraska, to bury the child in the an
cieDt burying grounds of the tribe.
They had started on the long trip, al
though permission to leave the reser-
walton in Indian Territory, on which
they had been settled against their
will, had been refused.

carefully prepared, and consumed 16
hours in the delivering, occupying the
attention of the court for two days. On
the third day Mr.. Webster spoke for
six hours. And during all the pro-
ccedlngs the courtroom was packed
with the beauty and culture Of the
city.
Towards the close of the trial the
situation became tense. AS the wrongs
inflicted on the Indians were described
by the attorneys indignation was often
al d white heat, and the Judge made no
attempt at suppressing the applause
which broke out from time to time.
For the department Mr.. Lambert
son made a short address, but was lis

the trial drew to a close. The excite
inent had been increasing, but it
reached a height not before felt when
Judge Dundy announced that Chief

make a speech in his wi behalf.
mot one in that audience besides
the army officers and Mr.. Tibb!es had
ever heard an Grafton by an Indian
chief. All of them had read of the elo-
quence of Red Jacket and Logan, and
they sat there wondering whether the
mild-looking old man, with the lines OF
suffering and sorrow on his furrowed
brow and cheek, dressed in the full
robes OF an Indian chief, could make
a speech at all.
TT happened that there was a good
interpreter present-the son of Father
Hamilton, a well-known missionary.
Standing Bears Address.
Standing Bear arose H%alf-facing
the audience he held out his right hand
and stood motionless SO, long that the
stiffness of death which had settled
down on the audience became almost
unbearable. At last, looking up at the
judge, he said:

"Still standing, half-facing the audi

far in the distance, and continued:
