In the valley of the Little Big
Horn, on almost the same field
where Custer and his gallant troop
ers went to death and where Reno
and his brave men stood off thou
sands OF attacking Sioux for two
days, In 1917, the Grows and As
sinnfbolnes fought one of the most
! terrific Indian battles in the his
tory Of warfare between Indian
tribes In the northwest.
It was hand to hand struggle that
lasted for hours and ended in almost
the complete humiliation of the at
lacking Indians from northern Mon
tana. It was fought before the terrific
slaughter of Crows, which occurred
few years later, and the defenders
greatly outnumbered the attacking
party.
In those days the valleys of the yell
lowstone, Big Horn and Clarks Fork
rivers were the favorite hunting
grounds and battlefields OF Indians and
many engagements took place there be-
tween warning and horse stealing
parties of various tribes. The famous
battle was the outcome Of one Of these
small encounters.

The Crow in advance, who was wen

alone, but only succeeded In displaying
his courage as the Assinniboines stood
their ground and received him with a
volley that quickly drove him back. His
comrades quickly rallied 10 his support
and after sharp and spirited con-
test the AcefuFfh0ffas ,pef.a killed al

For q time there was grand mus

For Amazingly Quick Relief
Ger Genuine B0yer Aspirin

If you suffer from pains Of neuritis
what you want is quick relief.
Genuine Bayer Aspirin tablets
give quick relief, for one reason, be-
cause they dissolve or disintegrate
almost instantly they touch mois-
ture. (Note illustration above.)
Hence - when you take q real
Bayer Aspirin tablet it starts to dis
solve almost as quickly as you
swallow it. And thus is ready to
start working almost instantly
headaches, neuralgia and neuritis
pains start easing almost at once.
That's why millions never ask for
aspirin by the name aspirin alone
when they buy, but always say
'BAYER ASPIRIN and see that
they get it.
Try it. You'll say it's marvellous.
