with his bayonet and his case was hopeless
 "I then worked my way to American Horse the friendly chief who was sitting on his horse and informed him that Crazy Horse was badly hurt and that we would place him In the guard house and would care for him. His answer was: 'No Waslcu Wakan, he Is chief and can not be put In prson The officers were at their quarters, orderes had vanished and no one to carry orders. So tried to arrange matters and advised Remington to hold the ground while crossed the parade ground to the generals quar- ters to explain matters. That resulted as fol- lows: Please give my compliments to the officer of the day He Is to carry out his original orders and put the Indian in the guard house.
 "I returned to Remington and we proceeded to put the Indian in the guard house. AS we started to lift him, tall Sioux grasped my hand and In the sign language said that they did not want to see me hurt and for me to desist. The Indians had begun cooking their rifles So, other trip to the general to explain matters and I remarked to him: General, know the temper and feelings of these Indians. You may be able to imprison Crazy Horse but 1t will mean the death of a good many soldiers and Indians. If you will pardon me for suggesting 1t, we may be able to compromise on the adjutant's office where can care for him, for he will die before morning.
 After much reluctance he acquesced and returned to the scene. On being informed of what I had done, American Horse dlsmounted and spread his blanket the ground. The h. dians placed the chief on 1t and carried him Into the adjutant's office. By administration of hypO- dermics of morphia, etc, eased his sufferings remained with him until his death at II 100 D. m. and there were present then Remington officer of the day; Lemey, officer of the guard; i; old man Crazy Horse and Chief Touch the Cloud tMahpla Yutan) six foot four In height When Crazy Horse died this chief drew the blan- ket the face of the dead man and standing up, pointed to the body and said There lies his lodge, then pointing up, The chief has gone above
 II then returned to my quarters across the parade ground, accompanied by Touch the Cloud who slept on his blanket outside my door through the night as there was still danger of trouble After I retired, word of the death of the chief got out and all we could hear were the walls and death songs from all quarters, as were surrounded for miles by the Indian camps The whole garrison of 1900 men was kept on guard for the night, but matters finally adjusted them selves.
 Next day the body removed to the Spotted Tail agency and placed on the usual platform. Later In the fall when we moved the Indians 36O miles to the Missouri river 1t accom- panied us. In the fall of 1878 when the Indians were moved back to the present Pine Ridge agency, the body was brought back and con- cealed there."
 To this day the last resting place of the chief remains a secret among the Sioux and, since 1t has never been marked. 1t Is altogether fitting that there should be some memorial to him, such as the monument recently dedicated at Fort Robinson. In the land he loved and for which he fought so valiantly. For. Bourke, writing of the chiefs first sepulcher at the Spotted Tall | agency-a simple one of plain pine slabs-has said: "Just as the grave of Custer marked the high-water mark of Sioux supremacy in the trans Missouri region, so does the grave of Crazy Horse mark the ebb from which no tide hal | ever risen"
