EDITORIAL

We understand that proposals have
been made to the Municipal Committee
to furnish money for vegetable seed
for distribution among homesteaders. 1t
is planned that the vegetables grown
from this seed will be turned into some
agency for sale locally. In this way it
will be shown in Washington that che
homesteaders have been taught how to
gov vegetables. how to eat vegetables
and how TO market vegetables.
Those of US who can think know that
this is sheer propaganda. Before the
present writer was born our people
grew all sorts of vegetables 10 the wet
season of the year. They do so now.
The old market SUNDAY Market) in Mar
ket Street was put out of use
years ago and the one in Company Street
which was known as Weekday Market
continued as the only market place
which spacious concrete structure was
erected. People even from distant parts
of the island go to this market, sell their
vegetables and receive their money with
out any deduction being made For the
salary of any useless officer.
If homesteaders are SO foolish as to
hand over their products TO any hyfalu-
tin agenr TO sell they will have the sorry
experience of seeing most of it rot, while
those growers who are free to 60 to tue
public market and call at the homes of
city residents will have the opportunity
of receiving cash for their products.
Apart from seeing that homesteader
gives the necessary attention to the de-
velopmeDt of his land: giving him some
financial assistance and such agricultural
advice as he may need those connected
with the homesteads should keep their
noses and their fingers out of homestead
ers' affairs and let them enjoy the free
dom of free people. Cooperative mar
keting is necessary when vegetables are
TO be exported but it would be wasting
either the homesteaders' money or the
Government money to set up market
ing agency for Christiansted and one for
Frederiksted for the purpose of selling
a few vegetables TO handful of buyers.

pose of creating impressions in Washing.

mon Tana Lou Grill 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 cold and rigorous win
ter. Snow stood a foot deep on the
level. Miles realized that he would need
a 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 were 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 a 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 were surprised
and killed by the enemy. Several days
were required to reach the first point
of contact with the main Indian camp.
It was found to be located on Tongue
river, extending along the banks for a
distance of about three miles above

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, proclaining that he was 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:
1--WE are weak, compared with you
and your forces; we are out of ammun-
ition; we cannot make rifle, round
of ammunition or 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 to Crazy Horse,
together with other Indians, promised
to take their leader and his entire camp
to the lower agencies. If not, they
would return with Crazy Horse and
make him surrender at the cantonment-
White Bull announced that he would
remain as 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 we're re-
CURED. 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 %. The
larger part of the remaining camp,
numbering more than 1000 persons,
led by Crazy Horse, Little Big Man, The
Rock, and others, went south and sur
rendered at Red Cloud, Spotted Tail and
other agencies.

head of small detachment of Indians
held the bluff. He was an extraordin-
arily brave Indian. He believed imp
plicitly in his power as 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
falling down his back, he rushed out in
front of the warriors. After jumping
up and down for a brief period, he
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 Grow
with rifles seemed to be ineffective.
A change of military tactics followed
quickly. Majors Casey and Butler, and
Captains Mcdonald and Baldwin were
, 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 it was
impossible to move faster than walk.
Vim and determination, twin spirits OF
bravery and courage walked by the side
of the soldiers The boldness and eX-
cellent Judgment of Captain Baldwin
won the commentator of his superior
officer. Suddenly, Big Crow, in the
midst of his acts of bravado. fell, his
body pierced by a rifle shot. His loss,
together with the success of the charge
brought to the soldiers the possession OF
the important ground sought. An IN
eXpressible weirdnesS was added to this
scene as the later part OF the engage
ment was fought during heavy snow
storm. Panic ensued in the Indian
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 aoll-
ity to overcome their white enemies.
Miles losses we're practically neghg-
ible, The Indians succeeded IN recover

At one time during the engagement

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
the summit of high bluff to the left
of the line of troops. Sharp fighting
ensued for the possession of the heights
of the bluff.

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 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
main camp An attempt was made by
a group of about three hundred war
riors to recapture the party. A sharp
skirmish 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
prisingly intelligent group of advising
Indian chiefs. Little Big Man, White
Bull, Big Grow, Two Moons, Hump, and
other prominent Cheyenne and Oglal-
Ia leaders composed his board of STRAIT
egg. The Indians were familiar with
the country, which was rough. Moving
down the valley Crazy Horse and his
advisers felt confident that they would
make it another complete humiliation,
as had been done in the month of June,
previous, in the case of General Custer
and his immediate command of five
troops of the Seventh cavalry on the
banks of the Little Big Horn. The In
dians outnumbered the Miles command
by two to one. There must have been
at least a thousand warriors ready for
battle. They occupied the heights ov-
erlooking the valley, giving them
distinct advantage.
you have had your last breakfast"
was one of the derisive remarks shout
ed by some of the more venturesome of
the Indians at the troops as they stead
lily moved forward for the conflict.
"You are all women" shouted back
some of the scouts, particularly Vel
lowstone Kelley, who was familiar with
the Cheyenne language. The Indians
were challenged to the encounter with
out any hesitation.
Hiding behind the large boulders that
mark the escarpment overlooking the
valley, and lying in the crevices, the IN
dams watched the oncoming troops.
Perfect order was maintained. The men
we're so encountered with their heavy
clothing as to make the progress rather
slow. The snow at the same time vas
SO deep that it was impossible to move
along faster than a walk. There was
something ominous to the entrenched
Indians as they watched the soldiers
move along with such military pre-
cision. There was no .mistaking the
purpose and intent of the white enemy.
It was serious business for Crazy Horse.
Confidence was radiated by the men of
the Miles command
Inevitably the battle commenced The
covers were stripped off from the pieces
of artillery. Manned quickly, the two
Napoleon guns threw shells within the
lines of the Indians, which, exploding
create great CONSERVATION. The
charges echoed and re-echoed through
the valley, chilling the ardor of the
red skins and renewing the confidence
of the troops. In the estimation of the
Indians the number of guns used by
the soldiers must undoubtedly have
been multiplied many times.

against him. The scout found the In
dams encamped in the deep snow, suf-
fering greatly from exposure and their
horses in a dying condition.
Crazy Horse was impressed by the
fact that the captive Indians who &C
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. Brughier returned
to the cantonment on Feb. 10, with 19
chiefs and leading warriors who in
quired of the exact conditions upon
which they could surrender. The terms
we're repeated. The visitors were treat
ed with kindness and firmness. They
then proceeded back to their camp APP
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 young Indian wo-
man had committed suicide, using
small pistol which she had secreted on
her person. It was subsequently as
certained that she had 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.
