the Great Chief, Custer, and for that
reason did not mutilate his remains
they had in like manner learned to-
respect this humble shower of the lead
pencil and to that fact may be attTi-

the appearance Of being abaadoned in
haste. The most gorgeous ornaments
were found on the bodies Of the dead
chiefs, and hundreds Of finely dressed
and painted robes and skins were
thrown about the camp. The Indians
were certainly severely punished:
