cook, they started after the cows
when they saw Crooked Nose max
ing signs to them to come back
They lost no time in doing so, and
learned from Crooked Nose that he
had seen two men with their horses
on top of neighboring hill, and
that they were coming towards
him.
"They are Sioux" said Little
Hawk. "Conne on and we will have
some fun with them Going up a
gulch, he was intending to make a
sham attack on the supposed Sioux,
and brighten them, but not injure
them, for they were allies.
Creeping to the ridge above, Lit
tie Hawk looked over and found
he was almost in the midst of the
soldiers. Turning back, Little
Hawk raced down to the river, and
tore through the underbrush and
trees with his followers close after
him. AS they neared the camp of
the Cheyennes, the racing. men be-
gan to howl like wolves to let the
camp know they had discovered
something.
When the camp heard what Lit
tie Hawk had to tell, the warriors
fastened to paint themselves; put
on their ornaments; and arrayed
in their best, strutted through the
camp with all the vanity of the
primitive CD male, and then set
out for the field of battle.
Arrived there, among the first to
charge was Chief Comes In Sight.
With him went his sister. Chief
Comes In Sight was wounded, and
but for the timely aid of his sister,
who took him on her horse and car
RED him away, he would have been
killed. From this incident the
name for this battle is

stood it. Spotted Wolf said further
"Son, go out and from one of the
springs that come out of the hill
side get some blue clay" After
it had been brought to him he
painted on the shoulders and hips
of the horse the figure of king
fisher with its head toward the
front. 'Now," he said, your horse
will not get out of wind. Take him
down to the stream and give him
plenty of water; all he will drink. =
When White Shield brought his
horse back, his father said: when
you are ready to start | will go
with you, and before you make the
charge, l will put some medicine
on you" Just before they left
camp, Spotted Wolf said: "Now,
drink plenty of water and let this
be your last drink until the fight
is over"
When they neared the enemy
at daybreak, they stopped to paint
themselves. Spotted Wolf painted
White Shield from head to foot
with yellow earth paint. From
bundle containing the clothes he
wore in battle he took a scalp, and
placing the horse so that it faced
the south, he tied the scalp to its
lower jaw. Then he put his own
war shirt on White Shield, took
his kingfisher (the stuffed skin of
a kingfisher) and held it up to the
sun and sang a song.
'My son." he said, "this is the
song sung to me when the spirits
took pity on me. If the kingfisher
dives into the water he never miss
es his prey. Today I wish you to
do the same thing. You shall
count the first coup in this fight"
After he had finished speaking

dians' version of an encounter; but
this is not easily obtained. The In
dian is reticent, except with his
own people or tried friends, and
white men, as a rule, find difficulty
in learning his side of a story.
The Indian belongs to the child
j stage of the human race, and his
reticence is due to the same shy
ness which makes it hard for a
child to express its feelings.
We have, however, thanks to
that good friend of the red man,
George Bird Grinnell, the Indian
story of the Rosebud fight, which
took place June II, 1876, between
white soldiers and Indians at the
bend of the Rosebud. The result
of this engagement is generally
claimed as a victory for the white
troops, but it was, says Grinnell,
their defeat.
The origin of this fight, togeth-
er with other Indian troubles of
the '70's, is known to all who are at
all familiar with the history of the
West. When gold was discovered
in the Black Hills in 1874, it was
impossible to keep prospectors out
of that region The white men
coveted it because of the gold it
held; the red men priced it as val
liable hunting ground, and the land
was theirs by right, if the word of
the government could be trusted.
The Indian did not hunt for
sport, but to provide food for him
self and his family. The Black
Hills were full of deer and bear and
the Indians, looking upon that re-
gion as their storehouse, natural
ly resented its invasion by the
whites.
AS usual the government sought |
to compromise the question; and
as usual called a conference, the
of which was to take from

This conference, and its resulting

alizing what it meant for them, re-
fused the offered terms. They
would not exchange their store
house for the white mems mess of
pottage, nor would they consider
themselves bound by the agreement
of others. They would fight for
what was theirs, through former
agreements and they did.
In the spring of 1876, Generals
Terry and Crook were dispatched
to teach the Indians Of Montana,
Wyoming and North Dakota, who
had not agreed to the treaty, that
they must stop molesting the
whites. General Terry was to go
up the Missouri and Yellowstone
rivers, and from there carry on his
operations towards the south;
while General Crook was to 60
north to the headwaters of the
Powder Tongue, Rosebud and Big
Horn rivers. On June 9, when
Crooks command had reached the
Tongue river it was attacked by
Indians, and two men were wound
ed.
1t happened in this manner: Lit
tie Hawk had said to the young
men of the village, Come, let us
go out and steal some horses from
the whites" With their usual love
of adventure, Little Hawks sug-
gestion met with quick response.
The band of Indians set out for the
place where they expected to find
the horses; but on reaching the top
Of the hill, they were surprised to
see the plain beneath them covered
with soldiers.
"There are too many for us to
fight" said Little Hawk. Let us
go back" But the white soldiers
had caught sight of them, and sent
a shower of bullets in their direc-
ton. The Indians returned the
fire wounding two men, and then
retreated.
The fight on the Rosebud was
waged eight days later. While the
official report says the attack Of
he Indians was made at the en-
trance to deep and rocky canyon,
Irinnell, who has been over the
ground, claims that the fight took
place in a wide, and almost level
plain, inclosed by high bluffs.
There is no dangerous defile'

clay is used and, further, that for one reason or another, a surprising indif- ference has hitherto been manifested towards this wealth which lies at hand ready for development and conversion into semi-commercial and artistic pot tery.
 Mrs. Macdonald is nothing if not practical. Art does not mean to her just pictures, but she believes, and has applied that belief, that art should be brought right into our homes and that the common daily things we use should be as beautiful as its practicable to make them. And she ayers that t takes no more time to design attractive shapes than ugly ones and costs no more to turn them out in the kiln. With the spirit Of a pioneer, she has tempo rarily located at Garland, in Butler county. and from the clays she has un- covered there, IS preparing shapes for an exhibition this fall in one of the large cities of Alabama. From various sections of the state people are sending her samples of clays, some of which are beautiful in texture and color, and finely adapted for the potters wheel and kiln. She feels that, when public opinion in Alabama is awakened to the possibilities of such pottery as she contemplates, it will be only very short while before such an industry will be started and that it will spread until it reaches the dimensions of the pottery activities of other sections of the United States.
