Of sympathy and encouragement

GREAT
INDIANS
RUNNING ANTELOFE'S VIEWS
OF HONESTY OF AGENTS
By ELMO SCOTT WATSON

TN THE spring of 1874, while the
4 Seventh cavalry was stationed at
Fort Abraham Lincoln, N. D., band
Of Hunkpapa Sioux from a reservation
near by came to the fort to ask Cen
eral Custer for the food which they
much needed. The steamer bringing
the supplies issued them by the In
dian department had been frozen In Ice
In the Missouri river and they had
been compelled to eat their dogs and
ponies to keep from starving.
Having decided to seek aid from the
military, they brought with them their
greatest orator, Running Antelope
(Tahincasula Inyanke), tine-looklng,
dignified old warrior, to present their
cause. Running Antelope described at
length the distressing condition of the
tribe and denounced their agent, ac-
cusing all agents of dishonesty.
At this point General Custer inter-
rupted and asked the interpreter TO
say to the chief that the Great Father
selected only good men for agents be-
fore sending them out from Washing
ton. When this was explained to Run
ming Antelope he smiled grimly and.
through the interpreter, replied: well,
they may be good men when they leave
the Great Father but they get to be
id cheats by the time they reach
u.s."
After the council was over, General
Custer invited Running Antelope ana
his chiefs into dining room or MS
quarters for q feast. Dignified and I'M
pressive as the old chief was while
speaking In council, he was not so
admirable as table companion. After
gorging himself on everything In sight,
he emptied the plates and swept the
remains of the feast from the very
noses of his headmen, into the folds
of his robe. Then he belted 1t at his
waist, making capacious hayersack,
grunted his appreciation of the hos
pitality and stalked from the room.
Although Running Antelope had not
learned table manners according to
white mems lights) in the tepees Of
his fathers, he was a first-class fight
ing man.
The majority of his victims were
members of the Arikara tribe. His
bag of Arikaras for 1856 was ten war
riors and three women His greatest
single feat was the Staying Of five
warriors In one day. In the II years
which the record covers he confesses,
graphically, to dispatching no less
than 30 of these hereditary foes OF the
Sioux. a record Of systematic homicide
which doubtless gave him as great a
reputation among his trlbesmen for be-
ing a warrior as he enjoyed among the
whites as an orator.

CRAZY HORSE FOILED THREE
AMERICAN GENERALS

CRAZY HORSE (Tashunka Witko)
~ chief of the Ogallala Sioux was a
fighter, AS his name implied, his was
a personality wild, untamed and some
thing of berserker. In going into
battle no warrior was ever allowed to
precede him. He was not an heredi-
tary chief; he won his title by sheer
ability BY the time the Sioux had be-
gun to war on the white man, they
looked upon Crazy Horse as one Of
their most promising war leaders.
When Red Cloud laid siege to Fort
Phil kearney in 1866 Crazy Horse was
chosen to lead the attack on the wood
choppers, to draw out the soldiers.
The strategy was successful. Lieuten-
ant Colonel Fetterman marched out
with so men, was lured into trap and
overwhelmed, 1t was Crazy Horses
first victory over the whites. His Sec
0nd came In the campaign Of 1875. In
March Gen. J. ]. Reynolds attacked
Crazy Horses camp on the Powder
river. He captured 1t, but the Ogallala
forced him to retire hastily.
Next he fought Gen. George Crook to
a standstill at the famous battle Of
the Rosebud, June II. Eight days later
Gen, George A. Custer rode into the
valley of the Little Big Horn with the
Seventh cavalry and divided his force
to attack the big Indian camp. Crazy
Horse instantly saw the mistake that
Custer had made and led his warriors
to cut off the chance to retreat. With
In an hour Custer and his men were
dead 1t was the Ogalala's greatest
victory.
Fetterman, Reynolds, Crook and
Custer--Crazy Horse had met and de-
feated them all, and two of them we're
rated the greatest Indian fighters In
the army. tiut the 0gallala met his mas
ter in Gen. Nelson A. Miles, who de-
tented the chief decisively at the Bat
tie Of Wolf Mountain, although the In
slan withdrew in good order.
AhN hNAl ounilitE 1IHZV horse SUT-
rendered. His enemies circulated the
report thaf he was planning another
outbreak md he came to Fort Robin
son to deny 1t. The army officers de-
cided to arrest him. AS they led him,

guardhouse his friend, Touch the
Clouds, exclaimed: Cousin, they wiil

gled to disarm him he received fatal

On deck. one night. listening while
old Burr talked, excitement suddenly
seized Alan. Burr claimed to be an
Engishman born In Liverpool. He had
been, he said, seaman In the British
navy; he had been present at the
Smelling of Alexandria; later because
of some difficulty which he CLOSED
over, he had deserted and had come to
"the States;' he had been first deck
hand, then the mate Of tramp schoon-
err on the lakes. Alan, gazing at the
old man. felt exultation leaping and
throbbng within him. This life which
old Burr was rehearsing to him as his
own, was the actual life of Munro
Burkhalter. one Of the men on Cor
vets list regarding whom Alan had
been able to obtain full information!
Alan sped below, when he was re-
lieved from watch, and got out the
clippings left by Corvet and the notes
of what he himself had learned In his
visits to the homes of these people,
His excitement grew greater as he
pored over them; he found that he
could account, with their aid, for all
that old Burr had told him. Old Burr's
stories were not, Of course. true; yet
neither were they fictitious. They
their incidents, at ieast---were acttiali-
ties. They were woven from the lives
of those upon Coryet's list Alan felt
his skin prickling and the blood beat

Burr have known these Incidents?

II was ID late November and while
the coal carrier Pontiac. on which he
was serving as lookout, was In Lake
Superior that Alan first heard of Jim
Burr The name spoken among some
other names In casual conversation by
a member of the crew, stirred and ex-
cited him; the name james Burr, oc-
curing on Benjamin Coryet's list, had
borne opposite 1t the legend "AIl dis.
appeared: no trace" and Alan, whose
Investigations had accounted for all
others whom the list contained, had
beer able regarding Burr only to verify
the fact that at the address given no
one of this name was to be found.
He questioned the oller who had
mentioned Burr. The man had met

for he was needed where he was. 1t
was fully week later and after the
Pontiac had been laden again and had
repassed the length Of Lake Superior
that Alan left the vessel at Sault Ste.
Marie and took the train for Manito-
woe.
The little lake port Of Manitowoc,
which he reached In the late afternoon,
WINS turbulent with the lake seasons
approaching close. Alan inquired for
the scamens drinking place. where his
informant had met Jim Burr following
the directions he received he made his
way along the river bank until he
found 1t. .s-Y. ~. sat.
The proprietor knew old Jim Burr
yes. Burr was a wheelsman on Car
ferry Number rs. He was a lakeman,
experienced and capable; that fact,
,sanae months before, had served as In
ltroduction for him to the frequenters
OF this place. When the ferry was In
iharbor and his duties left him idle,
Burr came UP and waited there. occu-
pying always the same chair. He
aeyer drank, he never spoke to others
unless they spoke first to him, but
then he talked freely about old days
on the lakes, about ships which had
been lost and about men long dead.
I Alan decided that there could be no
better place to interview old Burr than

early evening the cid man came In. He

The officer could not answer that.
He had known where the Richardson

to be there at this season. The spray
from the waves had frozen upon Alan

repeated. "They heard the four

Yes Alan urged. "Why not?"
But where no ship ought to be; SO
they couldn't find the ship-they
couldn't find the shipP' Terror, of
awful abjectness, came over the old
man. He freed himself from Alan and
went forward.
Alan went aft to the car deck. The
roar and echoing tumult of the Ice
against the hull here drowned all 9TH
er sounds. The thirty-two freight
cars, In their four long lines, stood
wedged and chained and blocked In
place; they tipped and tilted, rolled
and swayed like the stanchions and
sides Of the ship, fixed and secure,
Jacks on the steel deck under the
edges Of the cars, kept them from
rocking on their trucks. Men paced
watchfulry between the tracks, observ-
ing the movement of the cars. The
cars ereaked and groaned, as they
worked little this way and that; the
men sprang with sledges and drove the
blocks tight again or took an addi-
tional turn upon the jacks.
Alan saw old Burr who, on his way

Burr stood beside him without max

been pointed abeam, shot Its glare fer
