SOUTH SEA ISLANDER WHO
WAS CROOKS FAvoRITE SCOUT

IL would rather lose third of my
army than TO have Frank Gruard
killed once declared Gen. Frank
Crook, and when this great Indian
fighter set such n high value on the
services of scout 1t meant hat
i Frank Gruard was without Il peer.
Gruard YVES born In Tahiti In 1870.
I the son OF an American trader and a
native woman. His father returned
TO this country when Frank was but
two years old and at the age of If
teen Frank ran away from home and
Went TO Montana.
Gruard became mall carrier. n
dangerous job in n country full Of hos
tile Sioux. They captured him finally
and We're preparing to kill him when
young Grave pleaded for his life.
Calling their attention TO Franks
swarthy complexion he declared that
the mail carrier must be an Indian
who had been captured by the whites.
This Indian was the renowned Sit
ting Bull. For 10 months Gruard was
guarded closely and, realizing the use
lessneSs of attempting to escape, he
learned the Sioux tongue and entered
into the Indian life us one of them.
He lived with the Indians Six years
before he finally escaped.
One day Gruard was scouting for
an officer who attempted to guide his
command by use of the compass. They
became lost in binding snow storm.
Frank borrowed the officers compass,
smashed II against rock. and then.
taking the lead, he guided the soldiers
straight TO the place they wished to
60.
Gruard's greatest exploit was his
part in the "Sibley Scout in 1876
Lieut.. S. W. Sibley was sent out on a
scout TO find the Indians. He found
them, and In short time his little
command was surrounded by hun
dreds of Sioux and Cheyennes, After
a desperate fight in which the Chey-
enne chief, White Antelope, was
killed, the soldiers were forced to
abandon their horses and attempt es-
cape on foot,
Gruard's knowledge of the country
was all that saved them. He led
them over unknown mountain trails,
winding through the deep canyons and
around high peaks, until the Indians
were outdlstanced The next day he |
guided them to high point on q
side and pointed down. Be-
low them lay Crooks camp.
Frank Gruard was given lifetime
position as a government scout and
he performed valuable services In the
last uprising Of the Sioux, the Ghost
Dance war OF 1S90.01. In 1894 Frank
saw his father for the first time since
he had run away from home. Gruard
lied In st. Joseph Mo-. In 1913.

the mail was sent to Fort Buford, 2lS

day, while the troops were out on Il

which had to be delivered at once and

warriors dropped In their tracks.
Kelly returned to Fort Berthold and
