Through n village OF the Ogalalla
Sioux dashed a pony. crazed by fright.
A baby boy had just been born In the
village. and the appearance OF the
maddened pony was taken by the IN
fant's parents as an omen. So the
new born child was named Crazy
Horse"
(Among various Indian tribes 1T has
always beer the custom to give each
child the name OF the first object on
which its mothers eyes happen to fall
after the baby's birth. This accounts
for such odd indian titles as Crazy
Horse" Poor Dog" white Steer,
.Cold Dollar" Ridge Pole" Boiling
Kettle" etc.
Crazy Horse from the first hated
civilization and was the sworn enemy
of the government. He stirred up
the southern Sioux to keep on leading
their old-time wild life and to refuse
10 settle on any reservation. In con-
sequence he speedily found himself
the leader of hundreds OF bad In
dians. both OF his own and of other
tribes. He was the firebrand OF the
whole frontier. More than once. by
superior strength. the government sue
ceeded in checking and even impris-
oning him. But he would never adj
NIT himself conquered. and always
until the last tragic episode OF his
fierce life-managed to wriggle free
and to resume his career of blood
shed.
The Sioux Revolution.
In 1875 many tribes Of the Sioux
and CT some allied nations went on
the warpath. Their Black Hills lands
were tolen from them by the white
men. Government agents had NAL
treated and cheated them. Altogethel
they deemed il better to plumber al
will and. IL need be. TO die fightins
rather than TO starve or be cheated
on reservations.
Tp to this time Crazy Horse ha'
confined his warlike efforts for tn
most part TO conflicts with Crow. Mar
dan and other tribes hostile to tn
Sioux. and to raids on poorly defend
ed white settlements. In such e.
PLOTS he had won fame AM hat
learned generalship. Now he becam
one OF the principal war chiefs of tn
whole uprising. scarce second In i'm
portance to Sitting Bull himself.
During a blizzard In the winter u
1875 General Reynolds. at the hea'
of a force OF regulars. made a suddeI
attack on Crazy Horses camp. Tn

there by capturing all their ponies
