ARE BROTHERS IN TREAcHERY
American indian at His Worst, and
The Hun, Shown to Have Quail
tiles in Common

The German is not the originator
of the "Kamerad' ruse, according to
Ed. Houston, a frmer living north of
Junction City, Kan. who followed all
accounts of battles in the big war
very closely.
Mr.. Houston says that the Indian
was an adept at crying "Kamerad,"
in his own tongue. of course, long be-
fore the German empire vas formed,
and cites an experience of his own
to prove it.
Mr.. Houston was a member OF
Troop G.. Seventh cavalry, the regi-
ment commanded by the gallant Col.
George Custer, for eight years. I'm
der Captain Edgerly he went to the
scene of the Pine Ridge troubles. The
troops lined up to disarm a band Of
Indians that had given themselves up.
They included the chief, Big Foot, and
a large number of braves, as well as
women and children.
The captives were herded together
and soldiers formed a hollow square
around them. Each Indian wore his
blanket draped over his shoulders,
and, with arms folded across the chest
in the customary Indian position,
maintained a stoical silence. 1t was
known that a number OF the Indians
carried guns, but no treachery was
suspected.
Suddenly, apparently without a Civ.
en- signal, one Indian opened fire on
the surprised troopers. Instantly all
OF the other braves followed suit, and
even the squaws and older children
joined in the attack upon the soldiers,
Little Indian boys with sawed-ofi
! shotguns fought until killed and the
battle was a bloody affair. 1t ended
when there were no more Indians, be.
cause the soldiers, angered at the
trickery that had been shown, gave
no quarter and the Indian asked FOR
! none.
The follwing day the Seventh went
to Drexel Mission, where another bat
tie took place. After the Pine Ridge
troubled had been stamped out, tbs
regiment returned to its station al
Fort Riley, where Mr.. Houston con
tinued in service for a number Of
years.
