STARTS IN SEARCH
Of LOST DAUGHTER
Seeks Papoose Left on Field
After Battle Of Wounded
Knee.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

BEATRICE, Neb., June 17.-Brandish-
ing a tomahawk and calling for his
stolen daughter, Chief Little ,Clond,
with a band of Sioux warriors, entered
the residence Of General Colby, and,
finding both the General and the pa
poose missing, let out a series of out
landish yells and wound up by giving
war dance on the parlor floor. The
episode was a vivid reminder Of the
frontier days.
Little Cloud was among the Indian
braves defeated at the famous battle
of Wounded Knee, and General Colby
was among the victors. The slaughter
was fearful, and after the battle 200
soldiers carried off the babies, and
Lost Bird, who. Little Cloud now claims,
is his daughter, was picked up by Cen
eral Colby.
Never since the day of the nattle
have Little Cloud and General Colby
met. Little Cloud came to Reatrice to-
day in the full hope and expectation
of seeing the soldier WAC had taken
his papoose.
When the Indians left they set out
in a deliberate manner TO follow the
object of their search. First they in
dulged in preliminary dance of good
cheer. Then they started to learn
where General Colby lived. Every
house they came to they entered and
asked the question. Finally they
found the Colby home and entered with
a terrific war whoop and demanded the
Lost Bird be delivered to them. Neither
Colby nor his adopted daughter was
at home.

who yesterday was married to Mrs.
Martinez, had left Oh q wedding trip.
