An Indian Chiefs Version
of Custer's Last Fight
ez.sssssEH5Ag5aasa5sSsEE

or unjustly, it was war, and Custer
was not inexperienced in Indian war
fare. He closed a campaign against
the Cheyennes in 1868 by the crush
ing victory of Washita, where 103
warriors were killed and the tribe
forced to return to their reservation.
Following this he fought number
of battles, and opened up the Black
Hills country. Therefore, we may
now draw mental picture of the sew
eral Indian tribes consolidating in
and about the junction of the Little
Big Horn an dthe Big Horn rivers in
various camps, while American SOL
diers are surrounding them to force
their surrender or perhaps annihil-
ate them. Custer rode out with his
cavalry, intending to move around to
the south and up the Rosebur, driving
the Indians down the Little Big Horn
into the grip Of the strong force
marching against them.
Now let us learn just what hap
pcned, according to this last surviv-
ing chief on the Indian side. He told
it to me in a simple straightforward
fashion without show Of resentment.

GET RID OF BOX GUMS

Clemson College, March 28.-Bces
kept in box gums are working under
great disadvantages, and the beekeep5
er who owns them is greatly handi-
capped. They are improbable as a
source Of income or enjoyment. The
most important step in good bee
keeping, then, is to get rid of the
box hive as rapidly as possible, for
so long as this nuisance Of beekeeping
exists, it will prevent the successful
harvesting of honey crop.
Objections to Box Gums
When bees are in box gums ~
they can not be handled, can not be
stimulated when in need, can not be
ventilated, can not be united or divid-
ed, can not be controlled in swarming,
can not be properly packed; (2)
worms and diseases can not be con-
trolled; (3) the bees can not be pre-
pared to meet the honey flow; (4)
requeening is impossible; (5) drone
cells can not be prevented or remov-
ed; (6) the honey can not be proper
ly harvested.

1T SHALL NOT FAIL

Columbia, March 28.-With "It
Shall Not Fail" as their slogan, over
1000 farmers are preparing to take
the field in South Carolina beginning
the first week in April to canvass for
signatures to the cotton Cooperative
marketing contract. The two thou
sand canvassers represent those who
have already signed the contract and
who are convinced that the future
prosperity of the state depends in a
very large measure on the successful
completion of the campaign for the
formation Of the South Carolina Cot
ton Growers Cooperative Associa-
tion.

~ must be remembered that this old
chief does not speak English, nor is
he able to write, and his story was
translated and put down, exactly as
he related it after several days OF
reliberation. Here is it's substance:
and travelled up into Montana. There
we joined the Cheyennes and four
companies Of Sioux Indians. They
were under four chiefs. We all
camped on the Little Big Horn River,
up the river from where the fight took
place. Before this fight we had had
little fight with the United States
soldiers and a few Grow Indians on
Rosebud Creek; tey killed three Of
our men and we killed nine of their
men.
eve left them and went back to
the village and broke camp and NOV
ed down to where the battle with
Custer took place.
1T was q nice summer morning.
Before noon, we saw a cloud of dust
rising in the air up the river. A cry
was raised that the soldiers were
coming, and we all started for our
horses. We caught them and mount
ed. About this time they were near
ly on top of us, firing into the village.
The women and children ran down the
river.
Every warrior was ready by this
time so we charged the soldiers in
the face of their bullets. We whipped
them back into some holes they had
dug. We killed many of that bunch.
They were called the Reno company.
"Some of the Indians rode UP to
us and said Custer was coming up the
river with his command, heading Off
the women and children. So we all
charged down to where Custer was
coming up. When we got close to
Clusters command they dismounted
kept going for them. They saw that
we would not stop, so they started to
mount and retreat. But we were
already among them, shooting them
down with arrows, knocking them off
with war clubs, pulling them off by
hand. They must have been scared
out of their wits, as they showed no
fight after the first fire.
After we got them on the run,
we chased them about mile till only
a few were left. We ran those into
the river. Many were drowned, the
remainder we killed. We lost 80 kill
ed in the battle.
"The next day scouts were sent
ouGS IhSy lSpOIGcu IIdC SI0HCral Mics
was coming with his command. The
chiefs said we would not fight Miles,
as he had too many men. Sc we broke
camp and got away from there"
AS this statement contained no re-
ference to mutilating the bodies of
the dead soldiers, the chief was ask
cd to speak on this point definitely.
In n letter dated December 5, 1921,
he says: "You ask me another ques-
tion about the Custer fight: They
did not cut out the heart from that
soldiers body, just took off his clothes
and we ran away. The big chief all
dead. All the soldiers were killed in
about one-half an hour"
The statement must stand or fall as
it is believed or denied. 1t will be
believed by some and it will be de-
MED or ridiculed by others. That is
to be expected. But where is the
proof that it is not truthful and ac-
curate statement of the facts ?.-The
