THE CHARGE OF THE NIGHT
SHIRT BRIGADE

NNE September night IN 1868 Paddy
~ Boyle and Leander Heron, dis
patch bearers of the Third United
States infantry, were speeding along
the trail between Fort Hays and Fort
Larned, Kan. Suddenly they heard the
sound of distant firing and, true to SOL
der tradition, they rode to the sound
Of the guns.
Guided by the flash of the weapons,
they soon arrived at a place where an
Indian war party was attacking a gov
ernment wagon train. Boyle and Her
ron paused only long enough to load
pistols for each hand. Then they
dashed into the thick Of the fight, and
before the Indians were aware of their
presence they had reached the cor
raled wagon train in safety.
Here they found four soldiers de-
Tending themselves against the on
slaughts of an overwhelming force of
Dog Soldier Cheyennes, the boldest
and cruelest warriors of the plains
All of the soldiers horses had been
killed and their last chance of escape
was gone, unless some one could break
through the line of their besiegers and
carry the news of their plight to the
nearest fort.
Boyle Immediately volunteered for
the lob. Five minutes after he had
disappeared in the darkness the be-
sieged heard shots and yells, then si-
lence. They were convinced that
Boyle had been killed and that their
case was hopeless. After beating off
repeated charges of the savages, they
found their ammunition running low.
Finally there were only u rounds left,
and by this time Heron was the only
uninjured man in the party.
Just as dawn was breaking they saw
that the Indians were preparing for an
other charge, and to add to their de-
spair they noticed what appeared to
be band of warriors clad in white
buckskin riding to reinforce the saw
ages. They lined their sights on these
new enemies, but before they could fire
they heard voice shouting Don't
shoot ~ Then a man threw up his
carbine and yelled. To their delight
they recognized Paddy Boyle and saw
that his companions were cavalrymen
The Indians Immediately broke and
fed.
AS the white-clad hOrsemen rode up
to the corral, Heron said to Boyle,
"What kind Of uniform do you call
this?"
We'll" replied Boyle with laugh,
"the boys were all asleep when L
reached the fort, and they didn't take
time to dress. So all they've got on
IA their underclothes."

HE WAS SCALPED-AND LIVED!
eeTHEN tearing the scalps from the
l. heads of their victims, the red
fiends sped away before the settlers ar
rived upon the scene to avenge their
dead" SO reads the account of an
Indian massacre in one of the old
dime novel thrillers, for in the popular
mind the victim of the Indian scalping
knife always died instantly and in ter
rible agony. And yet
In the Omaha public library mu-
scum is human scalp preserved in
alcohol. Over in England lives a man
or at least he was living only few
years ago-to whom that scalp belongs.
1t was jerked from his head by a
Cheyenne warrior in Nebraska back in
1867.
William Thompson was his name,
and as young English laborer he was
employed by the Union Pacific rail-
road in the summer Of 1857 when it
was pushing its rails westward from
North Platte, Neb One day with four
companions he started out on hand
car to repair telegraph. lines which
the Indians had torn down.
The Cheyennes, whose choicest
grounds the railroad was then in
vading, had resolved to stop the ad-
which was soaring away all the buffalo
and other game. A party Of young
warriors from Chief Turkey Legs band
decided to make the attempt near Plum
Creek.
SO they tied big stick to the rails
and sat down to see what would hap
pen. 1t happened when the handcar
bearing Thompson and his companions
came speeding down the track. The
car sprang high into the air and the
men were hurled to the ground. They
tried to run away, but were soon over.
taken by the Indians.
Thompson was shot through the arm,
knocked down and partly stunned. An
Indian Immediately scalped him, but as
the savage jumped on his horse to ride
away, the white man saw the scalp slip
from his belt. Although still half-un-
conscious, Thompson crawled to where
it lay and recovered it. When res
cue party reached him he was still
alive and still holding on to his scalp.
When he was taken back to Omaha
he took the scalp with him in a pail
of water, for he hoped that it might
be put back on his head. Such an op-
Grafton was attempted and DR.. r. @.
Moore tried to graft the scalp back
in it's original position. The operation
was not successful and after Thompson
returned to England he had the scalp
tanned and sent it to Doctor Moore,
who presented it to the museum.

Swagger Coat of Brushed Wool
Negligees Invite Relaxation

Many of the shaggy sweater types are
either tan or gray, with hints of pow

There is wide field to choose

most unpretentious of them undertakes
to be joyous, or, at least, attractive.
Materials used for them range all the
way from gayly-fowered printed

and graceful, with much emphasis
placed on individuality in sleeves,
