Peck of Omaha was surgeon and Gen

July IL the company reached the
camp of the friendly Omahas whom
they induced to separate from the
Pawnees who were farther up the
valley committing depredations every
where lone settler could be found.
At 2 o'clock on the morning of the
18th the company started to move on
to the Pawnees' camp which was 10.
Gated northwest of Battle Creek on
the high ridge half mile south of
the Yellow Banks. A delay was caused
by the crossing of Battle creek, the
creek requiring to be filled to get the
train across. The Indians had aban-
doned, in the meantime their camp,
had stripped and armed themselves
and took up a position in draw with
bows and arrows. When the troops
formed in line Carrow-na-Sharrow
the head chief, offered truce. Rid
ing up to the troops alone he threw
away his bow and arrows and said
that he did not wish to fight. The
match had been already lit to fire an
old cannon, mostly loaded with nails
and old bolts when Governor Black
interviewed. Meanwhile some of the
warriors had swan the river and
from the crest of the Yellow Banks
were vociferously repeating their war
cries and urging the Indians to fight.
A parley ensued and other chiefs
came up. Scarade-ne-sal, their orator,
made a speech of great length. Point
ing to his people, upwards of one
thousand stripped warriors, he said he
thought his force could wipe the
white combatants from the earth, but
he continued, What good would 1t
do? The white men would send more
and more and in the end kill u.s." He
excused the acts of the Indians be-
cause of their starving condition. Six
hostages were given by the Indians
and the Indians went on their way. A
squaw followed the train, cutting the
bonds of the young bloods and most
of them escaped. Marshal of the Ter
ritory West pursued and killed one of
the fugitives. A few days afterwards
the remaining two hostages, one OF
whom had been wounded in an earlier
encounter with settlers at De Witt, dis
appeared and no questions were
asked regarding them. The company
went down on to the Beaver, finally
disbanding at Columbus. c. F. Eiseley
of Norfolk was a member of the com
pany and was present at Battle Greek
when the troops met the Indians. II

erect a monument between Battle

the fiftieth anniversary of the event
and will be attended with elaborate
ceremonies and appropriate speeches
and "Reminiscences
What a change half century has
wrought. Standing upon the eminence
of that last historic stand of the red
man. the survivors of that day can
today look up and down the valley
and across to the rising tablelands and
behold the homes of pOpulous
country, with towns, railroads, groves,
orchards and cultivated fields, where
that oTher day, as far as the eye
could reach, extended primeval
prairie wilderness. On that very spot
the steel plowshare turns up the
obsidian arrow heads dropped by the
Indians on that memorable day and
up and down the valley reside many
of those who shared in the events of
that day. Most hitting will it be for
them to take prominent part in the
celebration of the half century ami
versary Vt the event that proclaimed
the supremacy of the needs of
civilized race for an agricultural land
occupied by nomadic savages as a bat
tie ground and a pasture for wild
beasts. 1t was not question of greed
or sentiment. 1t was destiny-the
evolution of civilization and the law
of nature.
History of the Pawnee War.
The Pawnees occupied the South
Platte country and had a central vii
lage near what is now Central City.
In 1888 the Sioux, in the deep SHOWS
of winter, attacked and massacred
them by wholesale, sparing neither
their ponies The survivors moved to
Southern Bluffs, south of Fremont.
To recuperate their losses the Paw
nees made frequent raids upon the
Sioux to secure horses, always with
more or less success until 1858 A
party of young warriors were trapped
by the Sioux and scalped and one of
their number, with ears slit, allowed
to escape to tell the fate of his com.
panions. Settlers were coming in and
the buffalo were moving westward and
the Indians were starving during the
winter of $3.50. In June, 1852 the
Pawnees started on hunt north and
west of the Platte. A fire destroyed
their village and large council house
and the tribe began to move. They
were joined by band of Omahas for
protection against the Sioux. On the
2Sth they camped on Cunning creek
and killed blooded cattle of Thomas
Parks which he had imported from
Ohio. This aroused the settlers and
they organized and followed the In.
dams up the Elkhorn valley. Governor
Black was notified and he and Major
General John M. Thayer arrived in
few days. Additions to the force of
volunteers came from the surround

LOOKING UP THE ABSTRACT
Public Building Site Papers Being
Examined.

Twelve abstracts for sites for feder-
al buildings in various Kansas towns
are now in the office Of the United
States district attorney being exam
ined to determined whether or not
the title is good Among them is
that of Abilene or the ground now
occupied by the Continental hotel.
1t is unfortunate that Abilene did not
have larger appropriation for the
as it could then have had a larger
choice OF location but now it is settled
and the east side Of town will boom
again. The postoffice was taken to
the west side about 20 years ago and
the east side business suffered; it will
now have its innings and it will now
be permanent, too.
According to Assistant District At
torney J. s. West, Uncle Sam is not
contented with the usual abstract. A
certified copy or the original Of every
transfer must be carefully examined
for defects. Perhaps this is one rea-
son why there are SO few cases in
which the government seeks to quiet
title.
The towns for which the federal
building site titles are being examined
are Independence, Parsons, Beloit,
Great Bend, Concordia, Burlington.
Ottawa, Dodge City, Coffeyville, Abb
lene, Clay Center and Wellington.
At Independence and Parsons con-
domination proceedings were found
necessary.
The building at Dodge City is to be
used as an Office and residence for the
weather observer at that place but
in the remainder Of the town the fed
eral buildings will be used as post
offices.
