urday. Clad ia full Indian regalia and
attended by a dozen members OF his
tribe as retainers, he swept into the
committee room in such an awein-
Spring manner that even the senators
were impressed.
Plenty Coos Is chief of the Crow
Indian tribe. He testified In regard to
the charges made by Mrs. Helen
Pierce Gray that the Indians were
treated barbarously, thrust into prison
often, and forced TO eat diseased food.
Plenty Coos denied 1t all and tri.
umphantly vindicated the Indian
agents.
Two interpreters were used i'm the
examination, one repeating the aues-
ton to the chief and the other giving
the answers to the committee. Plenty
Coos explained the manner of his
tribe In farming their lands. and told
OF the relations of the tribe to the
agent, Maj. Reynolds. He expressed
the belief that Reynolds was the best
agent the Crows had ever had, In that
he helped the Indians to help them
selves.
The chief denied that Reynolds in.
terfered with members of the tribe in
selling their stock and products for
the best price obtainable. In other
ways he praised Reynolds, but said
that there had been some complaint
by those Indians who did not like to
work.
Senator Dixon brought out the fact
that Plenty Coos wEs with Gen. Crook
IN 1876 and fought with him Just in
advance of the Custer massacre. He
was asked why he had been named
Plenty Coos, and explained that the
name came from the COO stick. on
which deeds ot valor are recorded by
the cutting OF notches, the driving ~
the nails or the hangiug of sca,p5.
He explained that he used 20 live in
the center of fighting tribes of In
dians of other nations, and that he
amassed so many trophies of battle
that his coo-stick would hardly hold
them all. Therefore he was called
Plenty Coos and made the big chief
OF all the Crows.
Senator Brandegee wanted to know
whether the scalps on his coo-stick
were white or Indian. Plenty Coos
said that the sallies of his tribe had
been always against the Arapahoes.
Cheyennes, Piegans and Sioux and
never against the white men, who had
always been the Crows friends.
