had subsided only pitiful remnant
Of the tribe remained. The following
year occurred one of the most shame
Savage Guerilla Warfare
For several years preceding 1870 a
sort of guerilla warfare between the
Blackfeet and the whites in Montana
had existed, and this period was mark
ed by the utmost savagery on both
settlers, while peaceful reds were but
chered in cold blood by the whites, and
these bloody acts made the feeling be-
tween them tense. In January, 1870,
Colonel Eugene NJ. Baker, under orders
from the western department com.
mander. left Fort Shaw, situated ON
the tributary of the Missouri called Sun
river, to punish Mountain Chiefs band
OF 1900 men. women and children for
the murder of Malcolm Clarke. a fur
trader who had previously been m
American officer, and who had mar
ried an Indian woman. The weather
was bitterly cold. and finally the caval-
ry detachment came on to camp OF
the Piegans on the Marias river. Bak-
er's scouts told him that it was not the
camp of Mountain Chief, whom he
sought, but that Of q peaceful chief,
Heavy Runner, who had always been .
firm friend to the whites. They told
camp was quarantined with smallpox,
that the few ablebedied men remain
ing were in the mountains hunting, and
that the camp was occupied mostly by
women. children and old men. With
full knowledge of this condition, Baker
gave orders to attack the camp at day
break. Heavy Runner, who went for
ward to greet the troops, holding his
hands above his head, was shot down.
Then followed massacre in which one
hundred and seventy.fiye helpless Indi-
ans, mostly women and children, were
killed. Little children were shot down
as they tried to escape, and women and
babies were bayonetted on Bakers or
ders.
Fighting Spirit Crushst
The fighting spirit Of the Southern
Blackfaet was crushed by repeated mis-
fortunes, and as a nation Of power
they had passed into history before
the incident described above. Treaties
respecting their hunting grounds were
broken by the government, and, still
proud and sullen. they were pushed
back to the rocky, barren reservation
they now occupy. The old men who
survive from their days Of power and
glory are fast starving to death. The
younger men know little and care less
of their tribal traditions.
The Northern Blackfeet have been
given better care by the government,
and they are wealthier and more num-
erous. The southern division Of the
remnant Of this formerly great tribe
have one hope. White men are drilling
for oil on their tribal lands, and they
hope for wealth from that source. It 10

men of the tribe, before his death pro.
phecied that in years to come his peo-
pie would become rich from q source

agent tried to make the Indians believe
