LIVES IN BORROWED SHELL
Hermit Grab Has Peculiar Habit Of
Seeking Out Shells Of Dead MOI
Iusl<s for DomIclle.

The most peculiar thing about the
hermit crab is his curious habit Of
living in the shell Of dead mollusks.
His motive Is to protect his hind-body.
The fore part Of his anatomy Is COW
cred with a thick. horny crust. His
abdomen is soft and invested with a
delicate membrane. The slightest rup-
ture or abrasion to this abdomen GOV.
ering is almost certain to be fatal.
With its belly. the hermit crab holds
on to its portable home. Occasionally
it will change one acquired shell for
another. When exchanging shells II
must act with utmost caution and dis
patch lest it be harmed by some en-
emy who may be lurking near.
This exchange Is often made at the
mere whim Of the animal, but aftei
each moulting Is compelled to find q
larger home to accommodate its grow
ing body.

At the time he was captain OF the In
dian police on the Pine Ridge reser-
walton, recently organized by Agent
McGillicuddy In face Of the bitterest
opposition from Red Clouds Ogallalas.
The last great Sun Dance Of the
Sioux, held at Red Clouds camp In
1881, was attended by 10000 Ogallalas
and 1000 Rrules from the Rosebud
reservation. One morning Brute
chief called on McGillicuddy and IN
a most offensive manner demanded
food. The ageEt ended the interview
by kicking him out Of the door. Wild
with anger the Indian rode away
threatening to kill, every white man
on the reservation.
McGillicuddy had only nine white
men with him at the time, and al
though Sword and his 100 policemen
were near at hand, they were an un-
known quantity when it should come
to fighting their own people. But the
agent was not long left in doubt. Sud-
denly q band Of Indians, stripped to
war bonnet, breech clout and mOcca-
Sins, dashed up to the agency. It was
Sword and his policemen. They had
discarded their uniforms and in the
costume Of Sioux warriors were ready
to come to death grips with their own
people in defense of their white chief.
Within an hour the Brule chief was
back with 400 warriors, and although
they made a most threatening demon
stration before the agency. they were
40 impressed by the determined front
presented by Sword and his men that
they did not attack.
The next day McGillicuddy's party.
escorted by Swords policemen, went
to the Sun Dance. Just before they
reached the Indian camp, Sword put
his company through a mounted drill.

"CROW DOG SAY HE COME
WAS READY TO DIE
Nv ELMO SCOTT WATSON

VXIHEN Spotted Tail, backed Dy
w the military whom he had aid
ed, usurped the head chieftainship OF
the Brule Sioux, his high-handed act
was bitterly resented. Chief Grow Dog
(Kangi Sunka) took vow to kill the
head chief If ever he disgraced the
name of the Sichangu (Brules).
Years passed Spotted Tail, drunk
with power, misused his high office for
personal ends. His people murmured
but were powerless. Then he coveted
the wife of Medicine Bear and, covet-
ing, took her. Crow Dog, relative
Of Medicine Bear, remembered his
vow. On August 5, 1881, he met Spot
ted Tail and shot him dead, after
which he gave himself up.
He was tried at Deadwood. s. D.,
convicted of murder and sentenced to
be hanged. Crow Dog asked permls-
sion to say farewell to his family.
promising to return on the day set
for the execution.
When Crow Dog did not show up the
next day, Indian police were dispatched
to get him. He was not at home and
his wife told them that the chief had
wished to return to prison alone and
would surely keep his promise. The
next day the chief walked into the
jail at Rapid City. "Crow Dog say
he come" was his laconic reply to
the surprised greeting Of his jailer.
Meanwhile efforts were being made
to save his life by stay OF execution.
His case was carried to the Supreme
court of the United States which ruled
that the federal courts had no jurisdic-
ton over crime committed by one
Indian against another on reserva-
ton. So Crow Dog walked out OF
prison a free man.
Ten years later Crow Dog was IN
the limelight again, as one OF the
Brule leaders who fled from the Rose
bud agency during the Ghost Dance
craze to join the Ogallalas In the Bad
Lands. The Brule chief was soon con-
yinced that their cause was hopeless
and he counselled surrender.
But the irreconcllabies were still
eager for war. They caught up their
rifles and threatened to shoot those
who wavered. Seeing this Grow Dog
drew his blanket over his head. =
do not wish to know who would DC
guilty of staying a brother Dakota,
he said. His words so impressed the
warriors that civil war was averted
and the hostiles sullenly fled Into the
agency to surrender.
1t was Crow Dogs last war traii
From that day he lived In peace or

exception would create a precedent for others. 1t
