their horses were ferried across to the
village. There the Spaniard's mask
Of courtesy seems to have been cast
necklace had awakened in the adven-
turers the typical Spanish craving for
plumber. De Soto ordered the princess
to produce all the precious metals the
village could boast.
She meekly consented, and soon
long line of Indians was bringing to
De Soto's feet vast quantity OF shin
ing yellow and white metal. The Span
iards crowded frantically around the
hoard; then with curses they spurned
it from them. For the yellow metal
was nothing but copper. and the shin
ing white substance was sort OF tin.
The wanderers had not found the Ell
Dorado they had expected. And the
friendly Indians and their princess
were made to feel the disappointed
mems anger.
But the pearl necklace was proof
positive that there were precious
stones in the neighborhood. De Soto
ordered the princess to tell where
these gems could be found. BY this
time Cofachiqui had learned that her
peaceful subjects were no match for
the grim, we'll armed Spaniards. So,
without resistance, she led the way to
a temple where the royal dead were
inferred. With each body was buried
a quantity of pearls. The adventures
fell to eagerly and looted the sacred
place Of it's treasure.
Unable to get rid OF her brutal
guests by force, Cofachiqui hit on
clever trick for freeing her village OF
their presence. She told them that far
to the north lay a city so full OF
wealth that her riches were worthless
in comparison. De Soto and his men
readily snapped at the bait. Leaving
the larger part Of their huge pearl
treasure behind, to be taken on the
return trip, they set off in haste Tor
the mythical treasure city.
De Soto at the last moment seems
to have suspected that the princess
story might not be true, for he sudden
ly ordered her to accompany the expe-
dition as guide. The fair young
ruler protested in vain. But she Wouid
not permit her Indians to fly to arms
in her behalf. Instead, she finally con-
scented to go, leading the line of Span
iards with such seeming willingness
that De Soto after a day or two re-
Taxed his vigilant guard over her.
Then, one morning, as they were pass
ing through a dense jungle, CofachiqW
slipped quickly into the underground
and vanished.
She vanishes at the same moment
from history For no white man saw
her again. AS she was familiar with
the surrounding country, she doubtless
returned safely to her people, too wise
to court a second experience with
civilization"

GEAR what is now Silver Bluff, s. G.
sat bearded Spaniard In full armor.
He was enthroned upon gaudy chair
of state, and about him were grouped
his band Of hardy, travel-worn adven-
turers. The man was Fernando de
Soto, discoverer of the Mississippi
river. His eyes and those of his fol-
lowers were just now fixed upon a
strange fotilla that was crossing the
river toward him. The foremost craft
was OF gorgeous color and was pad
died by eight whitehead girls. On a
pile of cushions in the stern, under a
gay awning. reclined q young and
beautiful woman. She, like all her
companions, was Of lighter color than
most Indians that De Soto had met.
She was attired in regal splendor.
Around her neck hung huge rope OF
pearls. In other canoes close behind
her followed a retinue of warriors and
Courtiers, while the native village she
had just quilted was alive with eager
faces watching the progress of their
princess.
The Pearl Necklace.
AS the canoe reached the further
bank the princess stepped ashore and
walked fearlessly forward to greet De
Soto. Bowling low before him, she gra-
ciously made the Spanish adventurer
welcome to her realm. She then I'M
coiled the huge pearl necklace from
about her throat and threw 1t in a
shiny circle over De Soto's head. In
return the Spaniard drew from his fin
ger ruby ring and presented it to
her, saying through an interpreter
that he should cherish the necklace
less for it's own value than because
her hands had bestowed it upon him.
De Soto had come to North America
on journey of exploration, hoping
also to find some such marvellous
wealth as the new world had lavished
upon Cortez and Pizarro. During his
wanderings northward he often heard
from Indians along the route of a
great princess, Cofachiqui by name,
who ruled the Cofachi tribe and was
incredibly rich in gold, silver and
precious stones. Like most Spaniards
of that day, De Soto and his men were
wildly excited over the tidings of Co.
fachiqui. They forced a captured In
dian to guide him to her chief village.
Arriving at the rivers bank opposite
this village on April %, 1910, De Soto
sent word through an Interpreter that
his party had come upon a peaceful
mission and asked leave to pay his re-
spects to the princess.
She obeyed the summons and made
the wanderers welcome to her land.
De Soto asked for food to provision
his expedition. She promptly granted
the request, and even invited him and
his men to cross the river and be the
guests Of her village while the sacks
of grain, etc, were collected. On RATS

Duffy's success in landing the big

the United States was due partly to
his success when he formerly piloted

GALL

riors. commanded several thousand
savages who were encamped near the
Little Big Horn in the early summer
of 1876. When Custer advanced upon
the Indian village Gall was chosen as
actual leader in the defense. Here
the chiefs military genius came to the
fore. Instead of following regular In.
dian methods, as Custer probably ex-
pected him to, he hit upon a plan as
brilliant as 1t was simple.
Custer divided his forces for the at
tack. At the head of one body of cav.
airy he rode toward the village from
certain point, ordering Major Reno,
with another detachment, to charge
down upon the Indians from a differ.
ent quarter, hoping thus to catch the
redskins between two fires" Gall
promptly sent one band of Indians to
meet Reno and hold him in check,
forcing him to take the defensive and
rendering him helpless to join Custer.

ages in an attack on Clusters de-
tachment.

Small wonder that the man whose
cleverness had devised such a plan
of battle should have been furious at
hearing Sitting Bull claim all credit
for the victory!

who had fought at Little Big Horn,
fed for refuge to Canada when the
United States troops swarmed over
the country in n mad, futile ATTEMPT

The Yale expositor. (Yale, St. Clair County, Mich.) 1894-current, 1912-05-09

It was the night after the Battle of
the Little Big Horn, June 26, 1876. A
group Of Sioux and Cheyenne chiefs
sat about a roaring campfire discuss
ing the days battle, which had ended
in the death Of Custer and his men.
From a place of honor beside the
fire rose the great medicine man, Sit
ting Bull. Loudly he chanted his
own glory, Boosting that his warlike
skill and his medicine magic had
brought about the Indian victory. In
the midst of the vainglorious Grafton
another chief-stately, dignified, strik-
ingly handsome-sprang up from the
fireside group. In fierce invective he
cursed Sitting Bull for liar. fraud
and a coward, declaring that the med
icine man kept out Of bullet range,
mumbling charms" while better men
had borne the peril and labor of the
fight.
The savage who thus dared to de-
nounce the mighty Sitting Bull was
Gall, chief of the Uncpapa Sioux, and
real hero of the Little Big Horn battle
He was one of those odd combina-
tons: an Indian and rare tactician
He was, moreover, man Of strong In
tellect and-still more uncommon
among the Sioux-had a kindly heart.
A Poor Boy Who Became Great.
Gall was born near the Moreau
river, South Dakota, in 1910. He be-
gan life handicapped by poverty and
by the early loss of his father. His
widowed mother was poor-even for
an Indian. Gall literally rose from
the ranks" In early manhood his
brain and rare courage had forced
him into local fame. Not only did he
win repute as fighter, but as a skill
full military strategist. He awakened
wonder among his tribe folk by his
ability to handle a small body OF war
riors in such manner as to enable
them to defeat far larger force. Rap
idly he rose in power until he was
war chief of the Uncpapas.
The onrush of emigrants and gold
seekers was fast driving the Sioux
from their best grounds. Gall. seeing
his people slowly crushed out of exist
ence by this march of progress, Will

white mans advance. Yet he secretly

HARD JOB OF UMPIRE
Arbiter Must Give His Decisions
Without Hesitation.
Combination Of Attributes Required Of
OFFICIAL Difficult to Find in Any
Observation-Disclosures
Enumerated.

In one of the chapters of his book,
Americas National Came" A. G..
Spalding makes plea for the umpire,
and as his connection with the game,
not only as player, but as a club
owner and league director, enabled
him to get better focus than the
player or spectator, who can generally
only see their own side of the case,
his judgment must be taken as expert
opinion. Mr.. Spalding says:
ITO secure the presence OF intelli-
gent, honest, unprejudiced, quick
witted, courageous umpires at all con-
tests in scheduled games has been
one Of the most vexatious problems
confronting those in control of our
national sport. The combination of
attributes required is very difficult to
find in any individual. 1t is not easy
to put ones hand upon a man who
possesses any two Of these several
qualifications; and yet the efficient
umpire must have them all.
"The umpire must be intelligent
And by intelligence do not mean that
he must have education or culture.
The best umpire In the National
league would not shine in a gathering
of college professors. But he could
outclass the entire faculty of any uni
versity in America when it comes to
quickly decide the fine points of a
game Of baseball, and that because
he has the peculiar quality of intelli-
gence required for his duties.
THE umpire must be honest. A
crooked umpire at a ball game is as
offensive as a scoundrelly jurist on
the bench. His power to beget dis
gust for the sport Is even greater than
that Of the Judge to bring the law into
reproach. The umpire does not deal
with unfamiliar, abstruse legal tech
nicalities, whose yelled meaning needs
to be explained by the citations of 9TH
er judges in other cases in other
courts. He must hand down his de-
cision instanter before an audience
composed of hundreds who know base
ball law as well as he-or who think
they do.
'He must be absolutely without
prejudice. Did you ever think what
that means? Consult your own feel
ings at the next contest you witness
Note how perfectly free you are from
bias against the visitors.
THE umpire must be quick-witted.
He may not, like the wise old owl of
the bench, look over his gold-rimmed
eyeglasses, inform the assembled null
titude that he will take the matter
under advisement,' and then adjourn
court for a week or two to satisfy him
self how he ought to decide. He
must be Johnny on the spot with a
decision hot off the griddle, and he
must stick to it, right or wrong-or be
lost
"The umpire must be courageous.
With perfect composure and dignity
he must render judgment, though he
knows that in so doing Ahe is likely to
precipitate a riot, with himself as the
object of a cowardly mobs unreason-
ing frenzy"

A number of New Haven, Conn,
young ladies are forming basketball
league to include eight or more towns
