things he said {:
The National Weekly can never

l asked him to tell me the story OF
his flight across the plains, in the
dead of winter, in the midst of that
bowling blizzard, without food, blan-
kets, a gun, or any way to make a
fire. (In fact, he would not have
dared fire a shot If he had found
game, nor made a fire if he had had
matches, for he knew he would be
hunted, and a fire or the report of a
gun might have revealed his where
abouts to his pursuers.)
He told me the story of this great
run and I will tell it to you in his
own words as nearly as / can recall
them.
1 asked him, through an interpre-
ter, Where did you go when you
escaped from the Jail at Standing
Rock?" He said:

Canada"
How far is that?" I asked.

dry coulee l would break off a hand
full of brush, willows, or box-elder,
and eat it as / ran across the next
plateau maybe 10 miles, or 20 miles,
or 80 miles. Then when / crossed
another coulee l would break off
more and eat that as l ran.
After running two days and
nights and the greater part of the
third day late in the afternoon the
wind lulled. the snow cleared from
the air for a few minutes, and l saw
the dim outline of Woody mountain
towering away into the sky. That
gave me new hope, new courage. /
knew the camp was not more than 20
miles away and / knew l should reach
it. l put on a new burst of speed,
and after running a few miles more
the wind lulled again, the air cleared,
and I saw the outline of the great
blue forest that surrounds the base
of the mountain, and l saw three lit
tie columns of blue smoke curling up
among the trees.
II knew this meant the camp of
my friends. I knew there were no
other Indians and no white men in
the forest at hat time of year. Again
l was inspired and again / forged

wall of distress. At first there was
10 response but / kept on shouting
as I ran. Finally I heard three shots

what that meant. 1t meant that my
friends had heard my call and that
they would come to me. | kept on
going, and a few minutes later l saw
six men break from the cover of the
forest and come toward me on a run.
And that was the last I did know for
two days and nights.

tepee of one of my friends. Several
of them were sitting about watching
me ~anxiously. Two of the squaws
were rubbing my arms, legs, neck,
and shoulders, trying to restore the
circulation of blood and revive me.
They were giving me frequent spoon
of hot soup. / slowly regained
my strength and in a few hours was
able to sit up; but it was three days
more before / was strong enough to

RIDES OVER LAKE
ON ICE in JULY
TOURIST FROM INDIANA HAS EX-
PERIENCE IN MONTANA THAT

There is one feature of the auto
mobile trip cross country which
John G. Grim of South Bend, Ind, is
making that he will not forget soon.
AS he expressed it after his arrival in
Butte from Yellowstone park:
Imagine crossing a frozen lake
on horseback in July?"

he tells the story starting this way:

"You see, I can hardly believe it N.Y.

According tt Grimm the ice on
Goose and Goslin lakes has not yet
begun to break up and is still strong
enough to bear the weight of a horse
and rider. In the canyons leading up
to the lakes the snow is 40 feet
thick, he declared.
Snow 40 feet deep, ice bound

me back home," the tourist told

bodily, some Is inches, so that the
prisoner easily crawled out.
His friends handed him a pair of
snow-shoes and a blanket, in which
they told him, in whispers, a piece
of dried buffalo meet was rolled.
Rain-in-the-Face adjusted the snow
shoes to his feet quickly, grabbed the
blanket, and ran, and in doing SO the
piece of meat dropped out. So, he
went into the prairie in that bowling
blizzard, at nightfall, with only one
blanket, without a weapon of any
kind, without a mouthful of food,
when the temperature was 40 below
zero, and when the wind was blowing
probably 80 miles an hour.

One of the most picturesque Indian
figures of frontier warfare days was
the Sioux chief, Rain-in-the-Face,
who fought with his tribesmen in
Clusters last battle. More fables have
been writer about this chief than
any other, and curiously enough no
less noted a poet than Longfellow
based a poem upon the false SUPPOSE
tfon hat Northumberland, after kill
ing General Custer, cut out the heart
of the Inflated commander and bore
it off in triumph. Longfellow wrote:
1.-THE foemen fled in the night,
And Rain-in-the-Face in his flight,
Uplifted high in air
As a CHASTITY trophy bore
The brave heart that beat no more
OF the white chief with Yellow
+r Hair"
AS a matter of fact, as every school
boy knows, General Clusters body was
not mutilated and certainly his heart
vas not torn out by Rain-in-the-Face
OF any other Indian. 1t is, however,
a matter of historical record that
Rain-in-the-Face was a bitter enemy
of Captain Tom Custer, brother of the
general, who was also killed on the
field Of the little Big Horn, and the
Sioux chief boosted that he cut out
Tom Clusters heart. In fact almost
every historian of the Custer fight
has stated hat Rain-in-the-Face per-
formed this CHASTITY deed. But there
is testimony to prove that Rain-in-
the-Face was more of a boaster than
a performer in this particular affair, |
for DR.. H. r. Porter, the only surgeon
of the Seventh cavalry who survived
the battle, stated that he examined
all of the bodies on the field, includ-
ing that of Tom Custer, and that the
latter's heart was most certainly not
removed from the body. General
Benteen, writing on this matter, said
he had seen Tom Clusters body before
it was buried, and he was willing to
make oath that the heart was not re-
moved.
1t is curious that Northumberland
should have acquired the reputation
of a great warrior that he bears, for,
the truth is that, while crafty and
treacherous to a degree, and bitterly
hostile to the whites, he had COM
parative1y little standing among the
Sioux as a war chief. He took part
in very few fights of consequence,
and was not classed among the i'm
portant war chiefs in the Custer bat
tie. The men who led the Sioux and

Big HuckIeherry Crop.

A big huckleberry crop for Mon
tana this year. This is the word that
j. Scott Harrison, assistant super
isor of surveys for the general land
office, is receiving from his parties in
the field in Montana. The surveyors,
with a tooth for juicy berry pies, are
making note of the best patches and
are solicitous for the progress of the
huckleberry crop. They report that
all is well and that the outlook is
good for plenty of pies.

II AIN-IN-THE-FACE, crafty and %treacherous Sioux, was
V famous long distance runner, who established record Of
= 800 miles in three days on snow-shoes in mid-winter. He
was bitter foe of whites, and murder of two unarmed civilians
with Clusters forces caused his arrest by Captain Tom Custer,
brother of General Custer. His treatment at the hands of Captain
Custer brought about spirit of revenge that induced Rain-in-the-
Face to make a vow to some day kill this officer and cut his heart
out. After the Custer battle Raininthe-Fac boosted that he
had made good this threat. Rumors of the affair became so
garbed that the eastern press carried dispatches to the effect
that the Sioux chief had cut out the heart of General Custer, and
Longfenow wrote a poem based on this supposed bloody act.
Testimony of Surgeon Porter and General Benteen, who e-
anined the body of Captain Tom Custer on the field before burial
disputed the statement that Tom Clusters heart was cut out. 1t
is a we'll known fact that General Clusters body was not mutilated
in any way.

cerated a dozen or more of his friends
got together in a tepee some distance
from the agency, and laid a plan to
release him, or at least to make the
attempt. Two of the number were
detailed to do the work, and when
darkness came the next night they
started on their mission. They
crawled on their hands and knees
through the snow, one of them drag
ging under one arm a pole ten or
twelve feet long and some six inches
in diameter. The other dragged a
log a fot in diamenter and three or
four feet long.
The building was, of course, guard
ed by a trooper, one end of whose
beat terminated at n corner of the
Jail, and the other end at another
building fifty yards down the ridge.
The confederates crawled to within
a few feet of the building and lay
flat on the ground until they saw
through the darkness the dim out
line of the sentinel pacing his beat.
They waited until he came to the
building. about faced, and started
back. Then the two men crawled
rapidly to the building, laid the log
close to one corner of it, raised one
end of the pole, stuck the other end
under the log next to the sill, and
then both climbed out on the pole,
hand over hand. When near the end
their combined weight pulled it down
and lifted the wall of the building

there was nothing to show that any
thing had happened since he left. At
daylight the guard was changed, and
when the new corporal went into the
jail to look after the prisoner, he
found the room vacant. The alarm
was given, several scouting parties
we're sent out who hunted far and
near for the fugitive, but, being un-
able to find any trace of him in the
drifting snow, returned to their quar-
tiers.
