AN INDIAN BATTLE-GROUND
By Frederic J. Haskin.

"Shan Kive' is the name given to the
unique festival annually celebrated at
the foot Of Pixies peak by white men and
red men, celebrating the peace Of today
and yet holding in dear memory the glO-
ries and braveries of that elder hour
when the rivers of Colorado indeed ran
red. The words "shan kive'' in the In
dian tongue mean good time" Thus
the title of the fete appertains to modern
peace, although it's site is that of the
bloodiest battle-ground of the mountains.
Indian warfare was swift and cruel, but
not nearly so deadlyasat first one imagines.
A few hours. few weeks, and all traces
of battlefields were gone. with possibly
the exception Of a few scattered arrow
heads. Pixies peak is SO accessible to
travel that perhaps more people ascend
1t than any other mountain in the world.
where they look out on vast area Of
mountains on three sides and billowing
plains on the fourth. Very few Of these
realize that here they are looking upon
the bloOdiest battle-ground in all the his
tory of fighting among American Indians.
There was good reason for it. The
range is midway between the warmer re-
giOns to the south and the colder regions
to the north. From the mountain slopes
clear, cold water runs down ana OUT
upon the plains. Here the Indians them
selves located the easiest pass into the
mountains that ever has been found by
anybody, still known as Ute trail. Back
in the mountains were valleys filled with
luscious natural grasses, and at some
places salt streams. which wild herbiv-
orous creatures needed, gushed out OF
the hillsides. Wild horses ran in herds
Of vast numbers on the plains. Great
herds of buffalo, in their nigrations be-
tween summer and winter pastures. came
past here. In the mountains themselves
were the little black bison. black and
white tail deer elk, antelope, turkey and
all the carniyOrous beasts that prey upon
them. 1t was hunters paradise.

Maj Ruxton. an eccentric English
army officer. who sought health by trav-
cling in the Rocky mountains all alone
as far back as 1884, found the springs
filled with bead work and trinkets, left
by the Indians as propitiatory offerings
to Manitou. In his memoirs is found the
legend that accounted for the springs.
A Comanche and a Ute both of the Sho-
shone race, met at the springs and drank
together. The Ute had killed deer and
this had aroused the jealousy of the Co
manche. AS the Ute stopped to drink
the Comanche leaped upon him and held
his head in the stream until dead. At
once the form of Manitou, an aged man
with white beard, appeared out of the
stream Of the fountain and with war club
Drained the murderer. Immediately the
water of that spring Sulphur waterD

might not have to drink of this the Great

Beginning Of Feud

Lasting Centuries. arrow" and was as
the beginning of that feud between the
Indians Of the mountains and those Of
the plains which lasted for centuries.
Each coveted the region and every sum-
mer fought for it. The Indians only
went on the warpath in summer. when
the ponies were fat and could travel 1t
is probable that every hill and hollow in
the Pixies Peak region has had its bloody
and forgotten battle. The white pioneers
who came in 1850 found the remains of
simple Notifications in the stone cliffs
that overlook the plains, which evidently
had been used as lookout stations by the
Utes.
The pioneers of the pixies Peak or
bust" days had nothing to fear from the
Utes. and their settlements We're saved
from extinction through the civil war
days, when the government had to for
get about it's frontier, for the reason
that the Arapahoe and Cheyenne tribes
feared to expose themselves too much in
attacking the settlers, knowing that the
Utes were not far away from their white
friends. Around these memories and as
sociations the citizens of the Pixies Peak
region have built up an annual festival,
which they call shan kiye. AS a fea-

In the summer of 1872 the real feature
Of Indian celebration was the marking
OF the Ute trail with white marble posts.
This trail was worn through a vast pc
Rod OF time by the unshOd feet of ponies
and the mOccasins of indians. A rail-
road and wagon road, both seeking
low grades. have largely obliterated it,
but SO deeply was 1t worn that parts of
it still remain. The Utes were much in
terested in the ceremonies, and their
war chief, Buckskin Charley. made an
address in which he admitted that the
white men had made a much better use
of the splendid region than the Indians
The 1913 shan kive is staged in the
rocks of the Garden of the Gods. The
pioneers and the Utes will tomorrow join
In dedicating a monument, marking the
spot on which fell the first white man
killed in the last Indian massacre in the
region. The massacre occurred just forty
five years ago, September ), 1868, on what
is now Cascade avenue, fashionable
residence street of Colorado Springs. 1t
was committed by Arapahoe and Chey-
enne Indians, who few days before had
been driven from the mountains by Utes
led by Buckskin Charley.

Mountains Held
by Tribes of Utes.

Out on the plains We're numerous tribes
of Indians, drawn or driven there IRON
various quarters of the land as the white
men pressed upon them. The Sioux were
living in South Carolina when first known
to the conquerors. The Arapahoe ano
Cheyenne probably were descended from
the Algonquin tribes of the great lakes
country Besides these there were the
Comanches-closely allied TO the Utes-
the Kiowas, the Pawnees and others.
At the base of Pixies peak is little
valley carrying a stream that the old
French voyageurs, who came here to trade
skins with the Indians, named Fontaln
Qui Bouille. or Boiling Fountain, because
at it's source were springs which polied
forth. charged with carbonic acid gas and
pleasantly saturated with soda and other
minerals. These springs We're held sacred
by all the indians both of the mountains
and plains because Of their supposed me
dicinal qualities. Around them tney
wove traditions, as they did about most
natural phenomena which they could not
understand. This was supposed to pc
