The world is indebted to arts that
preserve. Anything that contributes
to the preservation of passing events
has a distinctive value. Historical
societies in many instances labor ex-
haustively, sometimes with doubtful
results, to secure accurate informa-
ton relative to the events in the
early days of locality. American
history, generally speaking, since the
formation of the republic, has been
freshly gathered, but often many sub
jects of controversy exist, left in
doubt and uncertainty. This need
hardly be so of the country west of
the Mississippi river, so recent has it's
conquest and settlement been effected.

we were startled by quick succession
of unearthly yells, and soon after, a
band of Crows, painted hidiously burst
into camp at full gallop. They re-

more Sioux than they had ever seen
before This our informant expressed
clearly in sign language, showing us
the Sioux mounted and coming to cut
our threats. The interpreter soon af-

Soon we were startled by a stimuli

announced the Sioux. The troops
Immediately formed in line of battle
