In the Rapid City company Of South

Pierre company also has q number OF
Sioux Indian recruits. These redmen,
II occasion demands, are expected to
give as good an account of themselves
rs the white national guardsmen and
volunteers. In the past it has been
demonstrated that When led by white
men in whom they have full confidence
the average Sioux Indian will fight as
gallantly and persistently as the aver
age white soldier.
In addition to having contributed a
number of recruits to the two COM
panies mentioned Of the Fourth regi-

that IL the government wants their
