truth" declared the scout. 1T Is
a great war party. One Cheyenne
will fight four PaWnees."
The Cheyennes showed no con-
Germ at his announcement. It was
evident that they were prepared
to fight against any odds. Their
calm defiance gained the sincere
respect of the young Sioux. They
believed that" rather than yield,
these stern warriors would fight to
the death, and the thought thrilled
them.
"The Cheyennes are brave" said
White Otter.
II have heard my people say it"
replied Sun Bird.
Having learned the manoeuvers
of his foes. War Eagle planned to
outwit them He believed that the
Pawnee scouts would follow the
stream until they found the place
where the Cheyennes had crossed,
and he sent a small company of
warriors to surprise them. These
men, all Of them crafty veterans of
the war-trail, waded across the
stream and vanished into the tim
Der on the opposite shore.
Soon afterward darkness fell,
and the Cheyennes became alert
and watchful They concealed
themselves in the bushes at the
edge of the water and listened
anxiously Fearful that the Paw
nees might elude his warriors and
cross the water either above or
below him, War Eagle despatched
Painted Weasel and another war
rior to patrol the stream. Then he
waited patiently for word from his
scoutA
"See, a rided is crossing the
stream" whispered Sun Bird, as
he and White otter lay behind a
fallen tree and watched the wide
lane of starlit water
1T is one of the scouts" replied
White otter.
A few moments later the horse
man rode his painting pony into the
timber, and the Cheyennes gather
ed to hear what he had to say.
He told them that the entire war
party was moving slowly toward
the stream. He had seen nothing
of the warriors who had crossed the
water, but he had heard an owl
hooting somewhere in the timber,
and the Cheyennes believed 1t was
a signal.
Then they heard a ringing shout
on the opposite side of the stream.
1t was followed by an outbursk of
wild yells. Realizing that the Paw.
nees had entered the timber, the
Cheyennes rushed to the edge of
the water. They saw the little
company of scouts fighting their
way across the stream. The Paw
nees attempted to follow them, but
War Eagle led his warriors into
the water and drove them back.
The young Sioux fought valiantly,
and when they regained the timber
the Cheyenne chief complimented
them for their bravery.
For some time afterward the
Pawnees contented themselves with
chanting their war songs and shout
ing threats and insults at their foes.
The Cheyennes laughed at them

That night they made no fires.
The ponies were tied in the timber,
and the camp was protected by
circle of sharp-eared sentinels. The
Cheyennes sat close together, talk
ing in low, guarded undertones, and
the lads believed that they feared
an attack. They wondered what
scouts who had ridden into the
north. AS the Cheyennes showed
no concern about them. the Sioux
believed they did not expect them
before daylight.
At sunrise Painted Weasel re-
turned. He said he had left Run
ming Crow to watch the Pawnees
I'VE have found our enemies"
he declared '"The words of Laugh
ing Bear are true. We saw many
lodges, many women and children,
and many warriors"
Painted Weasel tod the Cheyen-
nes that the great Pawnee camp
was full days journey away. He
said 1t would be folly to attempt
to approach 1t in daylight, as they
would be compelled to expose them
selves on the open plain. He warn
ed his people that they were out
numbered four to one, and he urged
them to be cautious. Then he told
them that a half-day's travel to the
north they would find another
stream whose banks were clothed
with a dense growth of cottonwood.
He advised the war party to wait
there until he brought them the
word to advance.
81 have listened to the words of
Painted Weasel. We will do as he
says" declared War Eagle.
Early in the afternoon the Chey-
ennes crossed the stream and went
into hiding They had scarcely
picketed the ponies and posted the
sentinels when they saw two rid
ers racing wildly toward them. AS
the horsemen came nearer, the
Cheyennes recognized them as
Painted Weasel and his companion.
They realized at once that some
thing was wrong and they watched
them with grave concern.
"The Pawnees are coming!"
cried Painted Weasel, as he came
within hearing.
AS the scouts rode their sweating
ponies into the timber the Chey-
learn what had happened. Running
Crow said that shortly after Paint
ed Weasel had gone a solitary
horseman rode into the camp from
the south. His arrival seemed to
throw the Pawnees into a state of
great excitement. Running Crow
heard them shouting and beating
the war drums and he believed
that the messenger had brought
news of great Importance. Then
the camp quoted down, and 1t was
evident that the Pawnees were
holding council. Running Crow
became suspicious. He wondered
whether the lone horseman had dis
covered the Cheyenne war party.
A short time afterward he saw the
boys and >young men rounding up
the ponies, and he feared that his
suspicious were true. He waited
until he saw great company of
mounted warriors leave the camp
and ride away toward the south.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1916-08-26

Then he sprang upon his pony and
raced away at top speed to tell his
people. Soon after he had passed
from sight of the camp he men
Painted Weasel and told him what
had happened. They decided that
the wisest thing was to make all
speed to warn the Cheyennes of
the approaching Pawnee war party.
TT is good" declared War Eagle,
when the scouts had told their
story. The Pawnees are coming
to fight us; we will wait for them.
They have called us women. Lis
ten to those words, Cheyenne war
riors. Think about them. When
you 60 out to meet the boastful
Pawnees remember this thing"
Having infiamed the hearts of
his warriors against their foes, the
Cheyenne chief made preparations
for the battle He despatched sew
eral scouts to watch for the Paw
nees, and then he led his war party
across the stream and took up his
position in the timber. 1t was a
clever bit of stratagem, which pla-
ced perilous barrier in the way of
his enemies. To drive him from
cover, they would be compelled
to expose themselves in the open
at great disadvantage while the
Cheyennes could shoot them down
from the protection of the trees.
The warriors were chanting their
war songs and making all manner
of boastful threats against their
enemies. Their eagerness to fight
made it evident that the encounter
would be a fierce one. The Sioux
watched them in thoughtful silence.
Having failed to reach the hostile
camp, they realized that their al
lance with the war party was of
no advantage. They had nothing
to gain and everything to lose by
fighting the Pawnees. Having
pledged themselves to their allies,
however, they saw no way of with
drawing from the conflict.
This thing has filed my heart
with clouds, for now know we will
not find Little Raven" said Sun
Bird.
eff we live through the battle we
must find the Pawnee camp. will
not turn back until have found the
Red Arrow" White Otter declared,
resolutely.
AS twilight settled over the plain
and they saw nothing of their foes
the Cheyennes became impatient.
Some of the younger warriors wish
ed to cross the stream and ride out
upon the plain to reconnoiter, but
War Eagle disapproved, and urged
them to wait until the scouts
brought word of the Pawnees. 1t
was almost dark when they final
ly saw warrior riding toward the
stream.
1T is Red Crane" said War
Eagle. "He will tell us about our
enemies"
Red Crane said that the Pawnee
war party had just appeared, far
to the west. He told the Cheyen.
mes that the Pawnees had stopped
in a little patch of trees, and that
small company OF scouts were
riding cautiously toward the stream.

'STRANCLER" LEWIS HAS
Good Record ON MAT

Scarcely past twenty-five years Of
age. Ed. Stranger" Lewis, granted
that he has already accomplished
much. would appear to have a bril-
liant career yet in store. He is. to
appear in a wrestling exhibition at
The Playhouse on next Monday night
Three years ago few would have
linked his name with championship
wrestling, Still, he was a sturdy
yOungster in those days, and it is an
old story how Jim Dawson. then in
his prime found the young college
boy a bad customer, when under an
alias, the veteran Irishman was tour
ing the country. Dawson defeated
Lewis then. but his knowledge Of
wrestling and wrestlers led him 10
predict glowing prospects for the
then college lad. il he did not aban-
don his mat exercises. Lewis did
not abandon it. Fred Beell came
along, had a match with Lewis and
annexed him as a partner. Much of
his present ability Lewis acquired
during his association with the fam
GUS Wisconsin Demon.
In the autumn of 1912 Lewis start
ed in whirlwind match campaign
which carried him to all sections of
the continent. a campaign which for
the number of miles travelled and op-
ponents defeated will scarcely ever
be duplicated. This grand tour cuI-
minated in June. 1913, in Chicago
when Lewis won the Chicago cham
pionship from Paul Hartenson in two
straight falls.
After defeating the Chicago cham.
pion the Kentucky boy was heraldeC
as the coming worlds champion
Since that match he has disposed o.
good men, including DR.. Roller, Will
liam Dementral Bill Schultz. Ir'
Munatoff. Charley Taylor. Gus Ker
varas. II. Dundin and many othei
heavyweight wrestlers.
