Not an Easy Job.
That the way we always used to

these details just to show you that ak

was always u lot of trouble, but know

we always went prepared.
"When we took the roa in the spring
we always carried along for the giraffe,
red flannel and Il barrel OF lininlent.
Pretty expensive to us this was,
freighting this stuff around without
knowing whether We were ever going
to want it, but the old man said it was

stuff around with no call for it for sea-

shorn of their authority TO try cases
of murder and an Indian outbreak and
war almost followed that event. In
the early sos when the Sioux roamed
pretty much over Dakota, TWO of the
great chiefs of that tribe became jeal-
Gus of each other, and there was en-
nifty between their bands. Crow Dog
and Spotted Tail We're rival leaders and
chiefs. Both We're we'll known in war
and council and both stood equal with
Red Cloud and Sitting Bull in the cs-
timation of their followers. Both In
dams had been to Washington to see
the Great Father and both had signed
peace papers" With the whites.
One day Crow Dog killed Spotted
Tall. The indian court vas quickly as
sembled and Grow Dog was brought to
trial. He did not deny the killing, but
his punishment.
The punishment among the Sioux for
murder was perfectly plain. In fact,
among all western Indians when one
Indian killed another he was sentenced
to give to the relatives of the dead
man everything he possessed. All his
horses, his dogs. his tepee and even
his ape We're forfeited.
Very often all the possessions of all
his kin folks were given up, and in
extreme cases every article of value
belonging to the entire band of the
murderer was taken from them and
given to the band of the murdered man.
That is what happened to Grow Dogs
band. Every single thing that band
owned was taken from the members
and given to the band of Spotted Tail.
Crow Dogs men We're left so destitute
that they have remained beggars even
to this day-tWenty-fiNe years after the
murder.
But not a whimper was heard from
the Grow Dog Indians. AS soon as the
decree was given they walked up like
men and gave away everything they
possessed.

A certain amount Of social life is abb
