Utterly Routed in Big Battle
Before Aroused Gathering

Mutsiks-the Mohawk braves, were ut
terly routed by the pale faces and
driven to the lodge, there to hold coun-
ell against the poor Medicine Man for
his allocution anent their success in the
battle of last night. The Medicine
Man blamed it on the Aisoyimstanthe
rain makers, and well he did Thus
only we're the red skins appeased.
1t was long past the ghostly hour
before the braves ventured out to the
open to take a look over the battle
field They then skunk home with
empty wampums minus their tail fea-
theirs so dear to the heart OF the Injuns
Only one scalp hung to their girdle.

tho field, every gully, every coign of
advantage, and consequently only one
scalp hangs before their teppee while
the pale faces can show five tail feath-
ers. When both sides lined up for
the evenings scrimmage, the audience
suddenly transformed itself into a
bowling crowd of Comanches The
blood curdling shrieks of the Indian
sympathizers, the frolicsome abandon
dance and changing activities Of the
omnipresent small boy combined with
the thrill of responsive excitement, the
tarantella-like music ofthe band, the mel
ancholy echo of the tom-tom out-riv-
allied any evening of entertainment
