ing It and all the covering he had on
from his waist to fall to the ground
Standing over six feet in height he was
the picture Of an ideal chief. Later it
was learned that he was the orator OF
the Northern Cheyenne. On his arms
and his breast he bore the scars Of the
sun dance. Grace and dignity marked
his every movement. He started to
speak, proclaiming that he was a chief
as his fathers had been before him. His
ancestors had lived in the country from
the time immemorial. They regarded
it as their property. They looked up
on the soldiers as invaders. He gave the
Indian side Of the burning question,
stating the Indians had been wronged
and that the whites were the agrees
sors. Finally he said:
I'VE are weak, compared with you
and your forces; we are out Of ammun-
ition; we cannot make a rifle, round
Of ammunition, or a knife; In fact we
are at the mercy Of those who are TAX
ing possession Of our country; your
terms are harsh and cruel, but we are
going to accept them and place our
selves at your mercy"
Little Chief concluded by saying some
Of the warriors would go down and sur
render at the agencies where they
would join their relatives. Others, he
announced, wished to surrender to the
military authorities and remain on the
Yellowstone.
Little Hawk, uncle 10 Crazy Horse,
together with other Indians, promised
to take their leader and his entire camp
to the lower agencies. II not, they
would return with Crazy Horse and
make him surrender at the cantonment.
White Bull announced that he would
remain as q hostage for the Northern
Cheyenne, as the head chief Of that
tribe. Hump said he would remain I'M
der the same conditions for the Oglal-
las. Seven other prominent Indians
followed with their expressed desire to
remain also as hostages, until the IN
dams were informed no more were re-
quired. The delegation then left for
Crazy Horses camp, located between
the Tongue and Powder rivers. More
than 300 followers Of Two Moons. White
Bull, Hump, Horse Road and other
leaders surrendered on April "a. The

numbering more than 1000 persons,

against him. The scout found the In
dams encamped in the deep snow, sur
fering greatly from exposure and their
horses in q dying condition.
Crazy Horse was impressed by the
fact that the captive Indians who ac-
companied Brughier had been hui
namely treated by the white soldiers
They also acted as messengers OF peace,
and urged Crazy Horse TO accept the
terms Of surrender. Brighter returned
to the cantonment on Feb. 10, with 1e
chiefs and leading warriors who in
CURED of the exact conditions upon
which they could surrender. The terms
were repeated. The visitors were treat
ed with kindness and firmness. They
then proceeded back to their camp ap-
parently deeply impressed and with
good Intentions to advise acceptance OF
the terms.
An incident occurred at this juncture
which illustrates the deep affection an
Indian maid may exercise for young
warrior. Hardly had the Indians de-
parted when a tragedy occurred in the
little band Of Indians held captive. A
pistol shot was heard early one morning
in one of their tents. The officer Of
the day, accompanied by one Of the
guard, found that q young Indian wo-
man had committed suicide, using a
small pistol which she had secreted on
her person. It was subsequently as
certained that she had a lover in Crazy
Horses camp. When she discovered that
he was not member OF the delegation
which had come In to learn more ex-
plicitly Of the terms Of surrender, she
was deeply disappointed. 1t preyed up
on her mind She became heart-brok-
en-. Her lover would have been mem
Der Of the delegation, but he was out
hunting buffalo at the time the party
was induced TO depart for the can
torment. Her body was buried near
the cantonment.
Miles was prepared to equip his COM
mand IN the event Crazy Horse refused
to surrender However on the return
Of the 10 chiefs their runners and criers
went through the camp shouting that
the war was over. The camp then pre-
pared to move toward the cantonment.
Passing over the divide from the Little
Big Horn across to the Tongue river,
and down that stream to the mouth Of
Otter creek, Crazy Horses band was
met by runners from Spotted Tail,
principal chief Of the peaceful Sioux.
The runners announced that Spotted
Tail was offering more favorable terms
than could be secured from Miles
These terms, as announced, included
their right to retain their arms and
ponies. Crazy Horse ordered halt. He
then sent larger delegation TO the
cantonment to ascertain whether Ike
terms could be obtained from Miles.
Crazy Hroses representatives were in
formed by Miles that he would conttn-
ne to be his enemy until he placed him
self In subsection to the government.

'A A~N- -eN mitted many dep
relations in the vicinity Of the canton
ment A goodly part Of what horses
had been left were stolen. Nearly all
the beef belonging TO the contractor
had been purloined by the crafty red
skins. Within brief period horses and
beef were retaken. Preparations were
then made to move Immediately against
Crazy Horses camp.
Late December had brought what was
destined to be a cold and rigorous win
ter. Snow stood q foot deep on the
level. Miles realized that he would need
q strong command with which to con-
tact the Cheyenne and Oglallas. With
this requirement in mind, he organized
his command which consisted Of 436
men Of the Fifth and Twenty-second
infantry. Two pieces of artillery we're
included. In order to prevent the field
pieces being recognized by the Indians,
bows of trees and canvass were laid
over them after the manner of wagon
covers.
Advantage was taken of the fact that
Tongue river was practically frozen
solid. The wagon trains we're hauled
and the troops marched over the ice.
Owing to the circuitous nature Of the
stream, more than hundred crossings
were made in the distance Of little
less than hundred miles before the
main body Of Indians were encountered.
Crazy Horses warriors were roaming
over wide range Skirmishes along
the way caused considerable delay In
reaching the main camp, the troops be-
ing frequently annoyed by the presence
Of small parties Of Indians. On one
occasion two soldiers we're surprised
and killed by the enemy. Several days
were required to reach the first point
Of contact with the main Indian camp.

distance Of about three miles above

plicitly in his power as q dispenser Of
medicine" Working himself into a
frenzy as the pressure against him be-
came stronger. Big Grow made the In
dams believe with him that his med
icine was so strong that the white SOL
diers could not harm him. He did not
hesitate in his gesture to furnish them
with the proof Attired in the most
gorgeous Indian battle costume Of the
brightest colors, and his headdress
made of the waving plumes of the eagle

would run in a circle, whOoping and
yelling at the same time. The guns of
the soldiers were turned upon him. For
some minutes he continued his antics
unframed. Efforts to reach Big Crow
with rifles seemed to be ineffective.
A change OF military tactics followed
quickly. Majors Casey and Butler, and
Captains Mcdonald and Baldwin we're
ordered to take their men and conduct
a vigorous charge Encountered as they
were with heavy clothing, splendid
courage was exercised despite the fact
that the snow was so deep that 1t was
impossible to move faster than a walk.
Vim and determination twin spirits Of
bravery and courage walked by the side
of the soldiers. The holiness and ex-
ceIlent Judgment Of Captain Baldwin
won the commendation Of his superior
officer. Suddenly, Big Grow. in the
midst Of his acts Of bravado. fell, his
body pierced by q rifle shot. His loss,
together with the success Of the charge
brought to the soldiers the possession OF

expressible weirdness was added to this
scene as the later part Of the engage
ment was fought during heavy snow

ranks with the loss Of Big Grow. They
fled IN utter rout up the valley down
which they had so recently come buoy
ed by supreme confidence in their abil-
ity to overcome their white enemies.

Accomplishing what he had set out to
perform, Miles returned to the canton

were placed under strong guard and
properly protected.
Retreating from the battlefield, Crazy
Horse reached the base Of the Big Horn
mountains and established q camp on

At one time during the engagement
Miles found that he was entirely sur
rounded by the hostiles. Crazy Horse
apparently was following out the line
of attack which proved SO effective in
the battle with Custer. He succeeded in
deploying his warriors that before Miles
was fully aware the Indians could be
seen in every direction. Taking his
position quickly into account, Miles Lot
ed that the key of the situation was

of the line of troops. Sharp fighting
ensued for the possession Of the heights

approached, the indians began to move
farther up the stream toward the Big
Horn mountains. They supposed they
would reach a place where they would
be safe from further pursuit.
The advance party captured a small
party Of Indians on Jan z, 1877, COM
posed OF one young warrior, four wOm-
en- and three children This incident
proved TO be Of considerable import
ance. They were relatives Of some Of
the most prominent Indians IN the

a group Of about three hundred war
riors to recaptiire the party. A sharp
slrirmish ensued when the Indians were
repulsed. Thus delayed in moving more
rapidly out Of the range Of the troops,
Miles delayed his men on the morning
Of January 8, TO meet and attack the
main body.
Crazy Horse was surrounded by sur
priangly intelligent group OF advising

REGULATION OF
STOCK MARKET IS
COMING UP AGAIN
Most of House Committee
Want Laws That Will
Control Exchange
BY EDWARD w. LEWIS
United Press STAFF COrresDOndeu

y
Washington, Jan. 30.-(UP).-
A poll of the house banking and
currency committee indicated to-
day that a determined sector of
the membership would seek action
this session on legislation for stock
market regulation.
OF the Is members Of the COM
mittee, eight viewed regulatory
action this session desirable, four
were non-committal, and the re-
mainder said they felt that prolong-
ed study Of such legislation was es-
sential.
A report of President Roosevelt's
special, interdepartmental commit
tee on market regulation is before
the committee. Several members
plan to urge hearings with a view
to drafting a bill as early as pos
sible, despite the attitude of house
majority leaders that the contro-
versial subject should be shunted
aside until next year.
Their report termed revelations
OF the senate inquiry shocking to
the conscience of the nation" and
recommended in a voluminous
study that a federal regula-
tory authority be set UP with
broad powers to prevent abuses.
Rep. Fish, republican, New York,
said his hope was that stock ex-
change officials will put their own
house in order even If it necessi-
tates curtailing of the volume of
business and the size of commits
sions to brokers, in order to safe :
guard the interest of the public"
"If such action were taken and
the interest of the investing and
specializing public adequately pro-
tected there may be no reason to
push a stock market regulation
BILL" he said.
Rep. Kopplemann, democrat,
Connecticut, said: Il recognize
there are very serious defects In
stock market operation. These de-
fects should be remedid as speedily
as possible. However, we hardly
know at the present moment how
far it is advisable to go with reg
u1ation."
Although the report Is before
the banking and currency commit
tee 1t was understood that several
members questioned whether the
group would have jurisdiction over
a bill that might grow out of the
recommendations. Rep. Luce, re-
publican, Massachusetts,, believed
that the interstate and foreign
commerce committee, which ham
died the securities bill last session,
was the proper group. Several
members however were anxious to
have hearings on the proposals
start so there would be no question
to transference of consideration of
the subject.
