Dick Thayer. as he was best known,

down the dry bed Of a creek until he
came to a water hole under a cut-bank.
He crawled under the bank and crouehed
in the water to his neck. hoping TO he

They found him, however, n he was
taken to their winter camp in North Da-
kota. From that time. which was in
September, until May, they dealt him
more kinds Of misery, as he phrased It,
than he had had in all his life put to-
gether. s
One of his duties was to chop down
cottonwood trees and peel the bark orr
for horse-feed when the deep snow came.
They forced him to do the squaw's worn

among them with two or three race

He won their best ponies, blankets and
buffalo robes.
Learning OF a plan to steal his win

he brought out a five-gaiion jug Of fire

was sufficient to put a man to sleep for
twenty-four hours. and when the indians
all had arrived at this stage, Thayer and

made a clean getaway, Thayer always
considered this a partial compensation for
