Indian Of ScaIping Fame
Describes His Exploits

There was a touch Of wild life. but no
nature-faking In the Senate Committee
on indian Affairs yesterday when Chief
Plenty Coos, Of the Crow indians. with
several members of his tribe. appeared
in opposition to opening the Crow reser-
walton, in Montana.
The old chief himself made a most
interesting witness. He was the only
one of the Indian delegation unable to
speak English, and he gave his testi-
mony through the aid of two graduates
OF the Carlisle school. He could give
Frenohman lessons in the art OF gestic-
uIation. and from the evidence pre-
sented to the committee yesterday it
would seem that the crow language Is
largely made up of signs.
Valorous Deeds to His Credit.
During the course Of the old chiefs
testimony it was brought out that his
name Coos means deeds" and that
he was dubbed Plenty Coos because of
the number Of valorOUs deeds with
which he has been credited. As he told
II. through the interpreter, he and his
tribe had been situated in the midst Of
q number OF different tribes all of whom
were fighting him. Among the Crows
sticks were kept into which the war
riors drove a brass headed nail, or made
a notch, to commemorate the number Of
scaIps they had taken or the brave
deeds they had done. IT was because
of his record manifested in this way
that the old chief got his name. He
was with General Crook in al Of his
fights against the Sioux. including those
which occurred just before the Custer
massacre.
How many scalps have you hung
from your Coos stick?' asked Senator
Dixon
"Oh, lots Of them-so many that 1
cannot recall their number
Were they those Of whites, or Sioux,
or Cheyennes2"
