Muddy weather doesn't bother the

very much, because there are over 300
miles of gravel roads In the county,
and each year their mileage grows
larger. The cost of crawling roads
In Massac county Is not very great be-

He drew a knife which he had con-
cealed upon his person and plunged
the blade into the side Of one of his
guards. The next moment he fell to
the ground riddled with bullets. AS
he fell he was singing his death song.
He gave one last defiant warwhoop,
then died.
Satank (Set-angya-Sitting Bear),
who was both a chief and medicine
man, was the leader of the ka-itsenko

order in the tribe. This was select
body Of ten Of the bravest warriors
who were pledged to lead every des-

in the forefront Of battle until they
won victory or death.
Once in fight with the Pawnees,
Set-angya engaged an enemy and was
about to stab him with a lance when

the bones in a bundle and brought
them back. Ever afterward he carried
them about with him on a special
horse, kept them on special plat

feasts in honor of his son. "My son is
not dead; he is sleeping" he would
explain to the old men who gathered
about the fire with him.
