 Pittsbursh's claims for title recoe- milton are backed by a decisive 300 victory over Penn State which in turn had defeated Pennsylvania in a previous engagement. New York university. another outstanding ma chine, was held 10 q 1S-13 tie by Penn S.ate.
 Pittsburgh won eight Of nine con tests the other being q scorcloss draw with Washington and Jeffer- son which also was undeteated. However.

The Mohakw officials are anxious to make up for the flasco occasoned by the appearance of the Bridge port team here two weeks ago. The officials of the local club feel that, though they were buncoed by the Bridgeport amateur club manage ment, they are in a measure to blame for signing Up the team without knowing what the fighters could do. For this reason, the con- ing tournament Friday night is the most expensive one so far attempted and a card of 12 bouts will be staged.
 Ed Hurley, who is promoter for the Massassoit A. c. in Hartford, has purchased share in the Mo hawk A. C. circles and he will act with the other officials of the club in matching fighters in the future. He has put on sensational tournaments n ithe Capital City and hopes to do as well in this city.
 New Britain's roller hockey team, although defeated last night, gives great promise to those who saw it in action.

I'm 1875. w. D. Cameron. on his trip

suffered the loss Of las men killed or
dying from wounds, and also the 500
who died from quinsy. There were 1900
mounted Indians in the last fight, and
there were many more on foot. OF course,
all that we knew Cameron got from the
scout. This scout was probably the mar
who killed all u horses.
When Gen. Phil Sheridan made the
trip to the Yellowstone national park
Grouard was his scout and guard, but
for some reason or for the reason prob
ably that he was afraid Of his being
recognized by q member Of the expedi-
ton. he Immediately left Sheridan after
entering the park"

No Whites Seriously Hurt
Another movement was going on at

large party of Indians attempted to come
down there. but were held In check by
the positions u party occupied, making
1t a sure thing a good many Indians had
to die before they could reach the train
1T was a remarkable thing that during
the fight none OF our men were seriously

received was by being hit by a spent
bullet. Probably there was not a man

shot slightly and several head Of cat

after that fight; they thought we were

II think our success In fighting them
was due to the fact that we always got
in the first shot. and they afterwards
told hat we never slept. They said we
were neither whites nor Indians, but
were like a lot Of bull buffaloes: we
had no sense. 1t was by creating that
superstitious feeling that we were bad

them. During the course of our fights
they lost a great many Of their horses.
They attributed this to our bad medi-

cartridges we left lying around resulted
In burst guns n dead Indians. This
