brought out a host Of stories
concerning the exploits Of that
- doughty old warrior, and some
kS& inquiry has been made why he
49, took no part In the Indian war
Of 1916. when Custer and his squadron Of
the Seventh cavalry were annlhilated by
the Sioux and Cheyenne warriors on the
Little Big Horn. The absence Of Red
Cloud from this hattie was due to no love
on his part for the white man nor toJany
disposition Of his TO withhold his support
from the enterprise that had been set ON
foot by other Sioux leaders.
The war broke out over the dissatisfac-
tion Of the Sioux with the action Of the
government in permitting white men TO en-
ter the Black Hills, the then newly dis
covered gold fields. The Black Hills was
a part Of the great Sioux reservation, and
! the Indians were bitterly Jealous of the in
trusion of the whites. Moreover, they were
spelling for any sort Of an excuse to take
the war trail. IL was only q few years
since the massacre at Fort Fetterman, the
fight Of Sandy" Forsythe and his band
Apf scouts against 1000 Cheyenne and Sioux
warriors under Roman Nose on the Arick-
aree; the "wagon-box' fight. In which
Red Cloud had been SO slgnally defeated
by the United States troops, armed for
the first time with the breech-loading
Springfields; the exploits Of Captain Jack,
Boston Charley. Shacknasty Jim and the
other Modocs in the Lava Beds were still
a fresh topic of conversation around the
camp fires, and the red warriors OF the
bSloux nation were chatting under the idle
ness that had bound them from the war
trail. So the intrusion of the white men
into the sacred precints of the Black Hills
afforded them al excellent reason. The re-
gion where the gold had been discovered
was holy ground to the Sioux: at the
hot springs, where the town of Hot Springs
now stands, they made medicine and took
curative baths; along the water courses
they hunted deer and antelope, and cut
their tepee poles and wood, but they did
not penetrate deep into the mountains; it
Awas 'mato tepee"-the home of a great
Spirit, who was not to be disturbed. Gold
hunters followed trappers into the region
in 1874 and 1876, and were removed by the
soldiers In 1876 negotiations for cession
of the region to the whites were begun
with the Indians, and under this cover the
white men crowded into the new diggings
and established the towns OF Custer. Dead

IL tough but I'll take chance on
him. Zbyszko's great strength may

This the opinion expressed today
by wrestling champion Frank Gotch,
of the zybszko- Malmout match last
night in which Zbyszko pinned the
Bulgarian's shoulders to the mat
twice in 1:30:34. In achieving this
victory the Pole added greatly to
his prestige as a mat artist and also
won the right to meet Gotch for the
worlds championship.
AS Gotch said, 1t was the Poles
strength and not his cleverness that
won. Zbyszko gave no sign of weak
ness at any stage of the bout while
Mahmout was clearly tired out when
the Pole won the first fall.
ZbysZko won I'm straight falls. The
first was scored with a half Nelson
and crotch hold In 1:O4:51 and the
second with a back bar arm and
half Nelson in 25:43. The surprise
of the match was the ease with
which Zbyszko twisted out of for
midable looking toe hold secured
by Mahmout.

ARM
IS ALL RIGHT
Report That the Big Fellow
Had Broken it Caused a
FURRY.
BY United Press Wire.

New York, March 30.-That James
j. Jeffries, is really nation
al character" and one in whom the
entire country Is deeply interested has
been fully attested by the intense ex-
citement created by the report wired
from Los Angeles and San Francisco
that the big fighter had broken his
arm while on n hunting trip. This
report was wholly disproved by a
United Press despatch from Mojavs,
California, yesterday afternoon, but
up to the time the United Press car
ried this news, inquiries by the thou
sands were pouring into newspaper
Offices all over the country.
II would have taken lively
Imagination to have concocted story
that would have occasioned more ex-
|citement.
The United Press dispatches from
Mojave said that Jeffries was furious
over the report and expressed a de-
sire to lay hands ON the man re-
sponsible for II.
Jeffrles says the only possible chance
for him to break his arm Is 10 forget
himself and 'land" a little too heavy
on Johnson in their entertainment
July 4. Had the report of the accl-
dent to Jeffries been true, 1t would
have meant one of the most expensive
broken arms on record, the cost of
which TO the big "boilermaker" might
have reached quarter of million.
