BLACK EAGLES & A

Black Eagle, a Sioux Indian now
living at at Wakpala, performed a
feat by order of General Custer, not
outstanding that white men under
the generals command had refused
though offered big rewards. An
tome Clement and Nicholas Cadotte
are trying to get a pension for old
Black Eagle. They were members
of Clusters scout troop at the time
Black Eagle swan the turbulent Vel
lowstone, at the mouth Of the Big
Horn river.
Custer, they say, had been pursu-
ing hostile Sioux and only had with
him a small force. He came to the
banks of the Yellowstone, and the
Sioux had evidently camped on the
other side a few days before. The
scouts thought it unwise to follow
without reinforcements, But Custer
was for going on. Finally, it was
suggested that someone swim the
river and examine the camping
ground on the other side, to deter
mine the size of the band. One
after the other the scouts, white
and halfbreeds refused, though
Custer offered them big rewards.
When it came Black Eagles turn,
his answer was, "Give me a fresh
horse and l will try" He wan
safely through the ice-cold flood
and back again, and reported a
large encampment, showing that it
would be folly to risk an encounter
with such a small handful Of men
as Custer had with him. A prob
able massacre, which came in 1876,
vase presented at hat time.
Old Chief Mao Bear, who died a
few months ago, tried many times
TO secure a medal promised him by
the commanding officer at Ft. Pierre
when he and his band rescued some
white women from a band Of his
tile Santees in the early sixties. This
medal was never granted, though con-
gress was often asked to vote it to
the Indians, they never having asked
any monetary reward, though they
gave up their best horses to ransom
the whites.
Incidentally, Claymore and Ca
dotte clear up the mystery Of the
killing of an Indian trader, on the
Yellowstone, which was always
blamed on Northumberland, but
which was actually committed, SO
they say, by a man who is now a
respectable native minister.
While doing scout duty for Gus.
ter they came upon the body of a
white nan lying or the banks Of the
Big Horn, shot through the body
with three arrows. While they were
looking at the mar they saw a horse
man riding toward them. The
rider, who was the dead mans part
ner, got off his horse, reached under
the mans coat, and extracting a wal
let bursting with gold and bills, and
rode away.
It is characteristic of the taciturn
ity of the Indian that, although this
happened forty years ago, and the
blame has always been placed or
Northumberland for the killing, be
cause shortly before this he had hat
a quarrel with the trader, and slapped
his face, the facts of the matter have
never been told to the white man.

Public Taboo. Umpire Batting.

"In my experienced as an umpire
learned to my surprise that the base
ball public In practically all the big
cities do not care for kicking against
decisions" says Jack Doyle. "Condi-
lions have changed since played the
game. In the old days the fans want
ed to see aggressive playing, which In
cluded the umpires. with the result that
there was much disorder But IL has
been shown that kicking doesn't pay
when umpires can suspend valuable
players for three days at time. The
fans don't like TO have their teams
weakened in this manner, and conse-
quently they have frowned on the kick
ers. An umpire can do better work II
let alone. Even II a few decisions are
incorrect they even up In the long run.
IL IL also true that an umpire who
knows that he is going to receive
square deal from players and public
will do his level best 10 be impartial.

nature for him 70 nurse a grievance,
and II is hard for him to keep from
squaring accounts"

Clyde Milan OF the Washingtons is
now playing the kind OF ball that
placed his name among the crack out
fielders OF the country last season.
When Milan is NJ his best he has no
superior as fielder, and II he Were
on winning team he would make
them all hustle to beat him as run
getter.
While Milan must be numbered
among the good hitters OF the league,
many OF his hits are the result of his
great speed in going TO first base. II
has been his speed this year which
has kept his average above the coveted
mark, though recently he has been get
ting his share OF clean drives.
Milan on team which would win
half OF its games or more would size
up well with any fielder In the league,
not barring Cobb or Speaker, but on
a losing team the players OF the Milan
type do not have the same number of
opportunities TO shine, and It is there
fore all the more remarkable that Mi
Ian should be generally recognized as
one OF the greatest fielders In the bust
ness.

head and white breast with gray
band across H. He is usually seen
sitting on a tree or stump on the edge
OF the stream or lake where he gets
his food. A ripple on the surface OF
the water shows a minnow swimming
below, and down he dives. spearing II
with his long, sharp bill. Then he
flies back TO his perch, shakes Off the
water and eats his catch. The Indians
think the kingfisher stocks their lakes
with fish. They say that when king
fisher finds a lake without fish he
catches one in another lake and drops
II into the lake which has none.
