Albuquerque, n. NJ, Oct. 2O-The
pale-faced chief OF the Belgians greet
ed sOmber-visaged, gray-haired.
swarthy chief of the NavajOs at Camp
Gallup. They shook hands gravely
and each showed his respect for the
other. The aged Indian bore himself
with dignity equal to that Of the
king. There was no cOndescension In
Albert's manner and no humility In
that of the Redskin.
The sun had not yet banished the
chill of dawn when the royal special
stopped In the New Mexican village Of
Gallup. but crowd of several hundred
was at the station. Many of them had
ridden score Of miles to greet the
Beigians. AS the train stopped, the
band OF st. Michael's Indian school
swung into the strains OF the Belgian
national anthem and then that of the
United States.
A little band Of braves. mounted on
mustangs, sat waiting and watching,
their faces expressionless, as the king,
queen and prince descended from their
car. After one war dance, his majesty
expressed desire to meet some of the
Indians, and several of them were
presented to him and his cOnsOrt.
Then Chief Silagotio. tribal Judge,
better known as Pete Price, stepped
forward with the gift of the tribe, q
handsome Navajo blanket, which he
gravely handed to Albert, who in turn
pinned upon the old warriors breast
silver medals of his house.
The grizzled Indian might have been
thinking. as he stood proudly before
the ruler Of the Belgians, of the day
when he, too, was the chief of many
fighting men.
He WAS the last to surrender to the
regulars at Fort Defiance in the days
when Kit Carson was a guide, and he
was defiant to the end But once his
parole was given he kept 1t.
There was no lack Of color In the
scene which greeted the Belgians.
Braves in shirts Of the gaudIest hines
and squaws wrapped in blankets of
many cOlOrs were grouped In an open
space near the station. Some Of the
women carried papooses The daugh-
ter OF the chief was mounted On .
