Henry Cardinal himself stood in the
doorway In full evening dress, with
his white hair and aristocratic fea-

He remained at Fort Mckenzie for a
month.
One day during the time he was
there a party of Piegan Indians, 80
lodges, were camped under the walls of
the fort, where they had come to trade.
One morning just at dawn the PieganS
we're attacked by a band of Assinni-
BONES, their traditional enemies. When
the ASSinniboineS charged down over
the hills and fired upon the PieganS,
the men inside the fort thought the
fort was being attacked II all hands
were called to man the portfolios.
Macmillan, at that time nearly 70
years of age, grabbed his rifle and
stationed himself at one Of the port
holes in an upper bastion. His rifle was
already loaded, but in the excitement
of the moment he forgot it and rammed

hole at the AsSinniboineS.

the whites were concerned, when
Mitchell and his aide. Maj. Alexander
Culbertson, discovered hat the As

fort but were after Piegan scalps. The
whites then ceased firing.
In the meantime Culbertson had
thrown open the gates to the fort so
the PieganS could get inside n eS-

of them did and all of them could have

The result was that they formed a
