CONCLUSIONS OF DR.. DIXON.

DR.. Dixon, the author Of the book that
conclusions as to the reasons for the
Custer defeat after talking with many OF
the Indians who took part In the engage
ment
"The entire group Of Indian warriors
participating in this grim battle" he
writes. all testify that had Reno pushed
his charge when first he attacked the
Indian camp they would have fled in con-
fusion, for the attack was unexpected.
THE Indian always expects night at
tack They further testify that after
Reno made his attack with a portion OF
his men, thus depicting his effective fight
ing force by one-half and in desperation
made his bunglng retreat. had he later
come TO the aid OF Custer with the added
achievements OF Benteen, French and
Weir who begged him 10 hear the appeal
OF Clusters rapid volleys, Custer would
have broken the Indian camp. Reno re-
manned on the hill until every gun was
silent Reno failed. Custer was slain.
This conclusion is the voice of the Ind
Ian"
With the assistance OF the government
the expedition that was undertaken by
Dr. Dixon for the completion OF his re-
markable photographs and Indian records
called together the last great council OF
the Indians. with the exception Of that
which took place in New York City last

that was i'm progress and pleasure at
meeting their former enemies from the
tribes that even before the coming Of the
white man were hercdItarlly hostile to
one another
Chief Two Moons who led the Cheyenne
Indians against Custer thirty-seven years
ago, said that he was glad at heart that
these photographs were being made OF
him and MS people be ;ause the old chiefs
were fast dying away and the old Indian
customs passing into oblivion. The pict-
ures and records he hoped would cause his
people to live through the years to come,
and the thought OF this made him rejoice
In spite OF the passing OF the Indian.
Red Cloud, tho son OF the famous chief
Of that name, and present leader OF the
Ogallalla Sioux, said that he hoped the
meeting would mean that henceforward
the Indian might forever live Mt peace.
I'VE have assembled here to-day as
chiefs from all over the land" he said
We eat the bread and meat together: we
smoke the pipe of peace. and We shake
the hand of peace. And now we go out as
one chief. and hope we shall be as broth
ers and friends FOR all our lives, and sep
arate with kind hearts | am glad to-day
as ] shake hands with my brothers and
friends. although | shall never see them
again. When the white man first came
across the ocean the Indian took him by
the hand AMI gave him welcome"
That the Indian took the white man by
the hand as Red Cloud said, and sup
piled him with food when he was starv
ing, was the one thing that enabled him

4 book which is called "The Vanishing
Race" written by DR. Joseph X. Dixon
On the conception of Rodman Wanamaker
and published by Doubleday, Page & 60,
is the result Of expeditions TO the Indians
which were undertaken with the sole de-
sire to perpetuate their life and customs.
Two such expeditions were sent out TO
gather historical facts. learn what was
possible Of Indian life and to make photo
graphs, some Of which are here printed.
The book has a particular interest in that
il contains the first account Of General
Clusters last fight as told by the Indians
themselves. Some of the chiefs who were
IN this fight among the hostile Sioux and
Cheyennes that slew the eth United States
Cavalry TO the last man and carried
away hundreds Of scalps to their wig
vans have here given tneir version of
the battle. And the friendly Crow Ind
ians that acted as Clusters scouts have
also set forth how the battle appeared to
them. The Custer engagement seems lost
in the mists Of antiquity. and yet these
old chiefs remember it well. and, like the
veterans Of the Civil War at the recent
Gettysburg reunion, have taken pleasure
in discussing the details OF the fight with
their white conQuerors.

To hold his own in the wilderness of early
America The Indian has been paid in
full for his early hospitality-but with n
far different coin than. he expected. And
the record OF his present hardships as set
forth i'm the book by the CHIEFS them
selves makes the listener feel sympathy
even with the Sioux that took the sca!ps
of Clusters wounded and dying soldiers.
That they were compelled TO fight Is the
verdict Of all that are living. Their game
had been driven of. their women and
children were starving, and the soldiers

trip is unusual. particularly as the last

"If you get run over by cab the

MODES OF LIFE AND DRESS.

Much is told by the Indians OF their
legends and customs. Of the fights that
they engaged In with each other, and
the successful methods that they en-
ployed In hunting and killing game. In
certain tribes, says DR.. Dixon, the Indian
carried out skilful deception I'm his
dress. In winter, band OF braves were
painted white. They rode white horses
and their war dress was all OF IT made
of the plainest white, so that a group of
warriors stationed on the brow of Il
hill would appear In the distance like a
statuesque bowlder clad in snow. This
disguise also enabled them to come with
a stcalthy step upon wild game. In
autumn their horses were painted yellow
and they wore a garb of yellow, so that
fringing the edge of the forest they
could not be distinguished from the
leaves Of the dying year. The blue green
