Now the 1eash FeHalty Was Adwatnis-
tered to Two Indians.
The following story illustrates very
well one Of the characteristics Of the
Indian, as II shows that Indians, as a
rule, did not mind dying so much as
they were particular about the method
1t was good many years ago at Pine
Ridge, when there was trouble with
the Cheyennes. Major Cooper was
there as agent. and there were two
young Cheyennes who were badly
wanted for murder. They had way
laid and killed prospector They
were not caught, and the chances were
that they would not be unless the sol
dlers were called in. II this were done
It was likely to precipitate trouble
with the whole tribe, and Major Coop
er laid the case before the headmen
They were told that II the soldiers
were sent for there would surely be
trouble and were requested politely TO
ask the two erfing bucks to come In
and be hanged.
Word was sent to the two young
Indians, Head Chief aud Young Mule.
who were out In the hilis, They sent
word back that they had no objection
to dying II 1t would keep the rest OF
TIE tribe out Of trouble, but that u
hey had TO die they preferred to die
fighting, and they wanted II distinctly
understood that they would not be
hanged. 1t was entirely against the
customs OF the government, but rules
did not go for much In those days.
Results were the chief things, and
Major Cooper sent word to them that
If they wanted a fight he would risk
accommodating them. A date was SET
and early In the morning they rode 70.

Cooper was out to meet them, and the
rest of the tribe, the potential hostilea.
were gathered on the hills to see fair
play, The agent rode out into the
open and slipped Off his horse, using II

die.
The two young Indians galloped up
to within shooting distance and com

The tacit understanding was that II
they were killed ii was all right, but
II they got the agent they would pull

other challenger. The fight did not
last long Cooper had a heavy buff
falo gun arb killed one Indian, shoot
ing him through the body OF his horse
Tie other kept on circllng, and several
shots were exchanged till the Indian
was shot through the body. He knew
1t would be all up with him in few
minutes and charged, shooting as ht
came. But the agents luck held good
and he was dropped within fifty yards
The law was satisfied, and the agent
was able to report officially TO Wash
