ern Nebraska, along the Niobrara riv-
er. They had fought the Sioux, in be-
half of the white men, for years, and
had lost 700 braves in the white mans
behalf. For this a previous secretary
of the interior had given them, in fee
simple, full title to their reservation
land lands.
Lands Taken from Poncas.
Then Mr.. Schurz was made secre-
tary, and at the point of the bayohet
had driven the Poncas down into In
dian Territory, depriving them of the
lands for which they held government
deeds. The Poncas were left months
without rations in the new country,
and more than one-third Of them died
while there.
And among those who died was the
son Of the old chief, Standing Bear.
The chief refused to have the little

body buried in the strange country,
but instead, gathering a few members
of his tribe, he started for the ancient
hunting grounds of his tribe, intend
ing to bury the child where genera
tons of Ponca chiefs lay.
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
fe1ed them a haven of refuge on the
Olgaha reservation.
I'VE have all the land Standing Bear
and his people wish for; we have corn
and meat in plenty; come live with
u.s. said Iron Eye.
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 anne into Omaha
and had an all-night's conference with
Tibbles, then 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
Glans to Indian Territory until a writ
o! habeas corpus could be asked for
from the United States court on the
! ground that the constitution, in the
fourteenth amendment, guaranteed to
al persons born in the United States
equal protection of the law.
Tihbles 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 lib
bles.
Webster took the case, and asked

LIMB WASTED WITH ECZEMA
Suffered Untold Agonies - Doctor
Said It Was the Worst Case-Won-
derful Cure by Cuticura.

81 used the Cuticura Remedies for
eczema. The doctor said it was the
worst case he ever saw. 1t was on
both limbs, from the knees to the
ankles. We tried everything the doc
tors knew Of, but the Cuticura Rem
edies did the most good. I was
obliged to lie with my limbs higher
than my head, for the pain was so
terrible / could not walk. / suffered
untold agonies. One limb wasted
away a great deal smaller than the
other, there was so much discharge
from it. I found the Cuticura Rene
dies very soothing, and I still keep
them in the house. l am very thank
full to say that I am cured. I found
the Cuticura Remedies all that you
say they are. l hope that you may
be spared many years to make the
Cuticura Remedies for the benefit of
persons suffering from the torture Of
skin diseases, such as I had. Mrs.
Golding, Box 8, Ayr, Ontario, Canada,

If he refuses, I must go back and sink

If lie refuses, I must go back and sink
beneath the flood
Then, in a lower tone:
"'You are hat man.
There was silence in the court as
the chief sat down. Some tears ran
down over the judges face. Gen.
Crook leaned forward and covered his
face with his hands. Some of the ladies
sobted.
Orator Given Ovation.
"All at once that audience by one
common impulse rose to it's feet and
such a shout went up as was never
heard in a Nebraska courtroom. No
one heard Judge Dundy say Court is
adjourned There was a rush for
Standing Bear. The first to reach him
was Gen. Crook. l was second. The
ladies' fiocked toward him, and for an
hour Standing Bear held a reception.
"A few days afterward Judge DunCy
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
dian, too). 1t is old Standing Bear
old and decrepit. But he remembers
Carl Schurz, and stin blames him for
much of the hardships through which
the western Indians passed.
When told of the death Of Schurz,
the old man smoked a full minute be-
fore answering the one word Of Eng
fish which he ever uses:
