white settlements. He called coun-
Gil of their band, feeling sure that
they would not dare absent themselves
from the council, and asked Capt.
James NJ. Bell, who was stationed
with two troops of the Seventh cav
airy at Fort Totten to be on hand for
the council and make the arrest.
His plan worked well, for as soon
as the two Indians had entered the
council room Lieut.. Herbert J. SlO-
cum with file of soldiers surrounded
them. AS they passed out of the build
ing under guard, The Only One made
desperate attempt to escape. He
was shot by the soldiers as he bound
ed across the prairie, but when they
approached he sprang up with knife
in his hand and died fighting. Brave
Bear was taken to Pembina for trial
but escaped from the Jail there and
made his way to the Pine Ridge reser-
walton. Fearing arrest if he stayed
there, he stole horse and started
north. Near Fort Sully he waylaid a
settler named Johnson, killed him and
taking the mans rifle, escaped into
Canada, where he joined Sitting Bulls
band of fugitives.
In the summer Of 1881 Sitting Bull
returned to the United States and
surrendered and Brave Bear had no
choice but to return with him and
take his chances of escaping punish
ment for his crime. Sitting Bulls
band was settled on the Standing
Rock reservation. That fall Major
Mclaughlin took charge at Standing
Rock, and Brave Bear, knowing that
the major would be sure to have him
arrested again, laid his plans to es-
cape. But he delayed too long. A
white man who had agreed to help
him escape betrayed him and Brave
Bear was made a captive for the last
time. He was sent to Yankton, then
the capital of Dakota territory, placed
on trial for the murder of Johnson,
found guilty and sentenced to be
hanged.
While he was in the Jail at Yankton
awaiting execution he was the object
of considerable interest for white Wis
itOrs who had heard much of the In
dian desperate. One of them,
rancher named Payne, took his small
son, Whit Payne, with him to see
Brave Bear and when the boy asked
the Indian to write his name In his
autograph book, Brave Bear not only
did that but also drew the picture
which is reproduced above.
The end of the story of Brave Bear
is told in Major McLaughlin's book as
follows:
When Brave Bear was hanged for his
crime, his father, an old Indian of the
Cut Head band of Sioux, came and
sought me at the agency.
rs my son dead" asked the father
HE is Dead" i answered.
Are you sure he is deadT persisted
the old man.
Il have telegram saying that he
was hanged yesterday" said l.
'Tt is WELL" rejoined the old man.
I'VE are glad, his mother and myself
for he was bad son."
And this frightful declaration was as
near eulogium as was ever pronounced
on Brave Bear.

Now the signal for the charge was

but his horse was faster than mine, so
he left me little behind as we neared

After that daredevil feat, Brave
Bear drops out of sight, at least so far
as history records any of his dOings.
The next written record of him is in
the book, my Friend, the Indian"
published by Houghton Miffiin COM
pany, and written by the late Maj.
James Mclaughlin, who as Indian
agent on the Devils lake and Stand
ing Rock reservations in North Dako-
ia had occasion in both places to know
Brave Bear. In 1873 Brave Bear and
a companion named The Only One en-
tered the stable of a settler named
DeLorme near Pembina, n. D., for the
purpose of stealing horses. When two
of the owners approached the stable,
the two Indians shot and killed both
and MORALLY wounded a third man.
Then they entered the DeLorme house,
shot and seriously wounded two wOm-

and taking several horses escaped into

through the Devils Lake reservation

Laughlin, who was then Indian agent
at Devils Lake heard of the crime,
he reported it to the civil authorities
of Dakota territory, but they were I'M
| able to capture the murderers.
Five years later lin the winter of
1879 Major Mclaughlin learned that
Brave Bear and The Only One had
returned to Devils Lake and were liv-
ing among their people, the Cut
Heads, in the western part of the res
ervation. Accordingly he arranged to
capture them in the early spring be-

ON figures, which can be made to prove
almost anything in baseball, but on
items that are not apparent to, or

Gehrig is part of the Yank attack that

Casey Can Pinch Hit at
Big Fires Now, Anyway

Last years mighty Pete Casey of
the Western league again is a fire
fighter.
He was the mighty Pete Casey as
a member of the Tulsa club and they
didn't sing that ancient Casey song
when he came up. He hit them on
the nose and won ball games.
Late in the season he was struck
on the head by pitched ball at
Omaha, Neb., and that blow ended his
professional career. He had given
promise of greatness, but he never
could carry on after he recovered
from the blow.
Chattanooga gave him chance.
And Muskogee gave him a chance.
But he couldn't make the grade and
he had to go back to his old trade
fire fighting.
And that is the story of the mighty
Pete Casey-a victim of an unfOrtu-
uate accident.

Catalina Island Yields
Many Ancient Treasures

Avalon, Santa Catalina Island, Cal.
An attempt to follow ancient trails
to the lOng-lOst island temple Of
Chinigchinich, the Sun God, has re-
suited instead in the discovery of the
burial place of small Indian prin-
cess of 5000 years ago and evidence
indicating that child sacrifices were
made in wholesale fashion by tribes
of the Channel islands, off the COAST
of California.
Within a stone urn weighing 134
pounds and fashioned skillfully as
though by modern tools was found
the skeleton of an Indian girl be-
tween five and seven years. Her
hands apparently had clutched the.
rim of an urn, whose rich Ornamental
ton of wampum bespeaks her royal
lineage.
In a circle with the urn as cen
ter were counted by Prof. Ralph Gid
den, curator of the Catalina museum
of Channel island Indians, the skele-
tons of Ga children buried in tiers
four deep with small heads touching
each other.
Beneath them was the skeleton of
a seven-foot man. A spear blade still
was fixed in the ribs.
The sand within the funeral urn
had the appearance of ground crystal

erer, a sacred sand used in the burial

ferent from that which had sifted
over the graves of the other children.
These finds as we'll as wealth Of
obsidian knives, spear points and ar
row heads and hundreds of other ar
ticles of wampum-inlaid stone and
bone have provided material over
which Glidden has puzzled since he
discovered them.
One thin piece of slate he believes
to be a stone map, holes having been
drilled to indicate trails to the four
main burying grounds on Santa Gaia
lima island.
1T is plausible" Glidden said, that
the strange child burial within the
urn and those surrounding it were
the result of a natural death of a
little girl of high rank and the STAY
ing of Ga attendants and playmates
with her. Or they all may have been
killed in some religious ceremonial
rite.
at is even possible the princess may
have been given some potion and bur-
led alive The wav the small hands
clutched the outer rim of the bowl
makes this a possibility"
Wampum fnlaid in four broken
circles on the rim of the urn with
"gates" leading to the four points sf
the compass lead Glidden to believe
the burial place may be near the site
Of the temple of Chinigchinich.

BOTTOMLEY BEST
FIRST BASEMAN
Ranked as First in National
League Because of Hitting.

At least two of our present day first
base performers in the majors stand
out in class by themselves. 1t is
no secret, even to the fan who has
only occasional outbursts of baseball
fever, that one of this pair is James
Bottomley of the st. Louis Cardinals;
the other Lou Gehrig of the Yankees,
writes Irving Vaughan, in the Chicago
Tribune. They are pre-eminent be-
cause they are masters of the art of
laying the wood against the leather,
it being conceded, also proved, that the
man with the punch can take the play
away from the fellow whose CHIEF
stock in trade is fielding.
While the task of separating the
above duo from the other front door
attendants of the two majors involves
no drain upon the mental faculties OF
the so-called expert (who frequently
writes only what he hears roll from
the tongue of a man long experienced
in the diamond prOfession), it is quite
another job to distinguish between Mr..
Bottomley and Mr.. Gehrig.
There is so little difference in the
skill of the two men that determin-
ing one from the other as the out
standing first sacker of the season
might well be decided by drawing a
slip of paper from plug hat. Or you
might even determine which has the
better disposition and make your
choice accordingly.
In the opinion of the writer Bot
tomley is entitled to a rating slightly
higher than the young man who is
doing his bit to make the Yanks too
