1,6OO Casualties By Air Bombing OfSpair, In 95 Seconds Hundreds of Lives Were Snuffed Out; Buildings of All Kinds Wrecked-Raid Was
 Biggest of Surprises
By IRVING B. PFLAUM United Press Staff COrreSpOndent)

Barcelona, Jan. 20.-(UP)-Cas- ualtieS in a 95-second air raid of three Nationalist airpl~nes yester- day were estimated unofflcially to- day to total 1,600-400 killed, 1.200 wounded. Rescue workers were still searching ruins today for bodies of persons killed, and for those wound ed who still lived. The Nationalist planes descended to 1,500 feet and dropped their bombs along a straight line leading in toward the railroad station. One of the planes machine gunned people along the streets near the station. One bomb went down an elevator shaft in an apartment building and exploded in the base ment, bringing down most of the building on the tenants.
 Raid Was Surprise
 The raid was complete surprise. Nobody had time to take shelter. There was no air alarm. The ex- plosion of the first bombs and the first bursts of anti-aircraft guns were simultaneous.
 People in the crowded main streets fled madly, trampling each other as the explosions of bombs came closer. Clouds of smoke rose above the house tops in the north

at peace with the white traders at

for upon them they depended for a
place TO trade their buffalo robes and
obtain the luxuries which the white
men had taught them to use. But to

perhaps against bands of their Indian
enemies, or TO prey upon the white

was different matter. There was also
the possibility of encountering small

connected with the Fort Benton post,
and these, too. would be fair game.
Well down on the Snake river in the

Doubtless the care with which the box
had been fastened and the manner in
which it had been packed away in the

the attention Of the Indians to It.
Had the buttons had eye holes they
would have been held invaluable to

Cached In the rocks somewhere
along the banks Of the Snake river
I'm Idaho is a box filled with gold
coins, placed there by the Piegan
Indian chief, Little Dog, about the
year 1845. Little Dog and his
braves, unfamiliar with gold coins,
mistOOk them for brass buttons,
with which they were familiar and
which they ordinarily valued high
ly. But these they discarded as
worthless because they had no
eyes" in them-nO Orifice through
which a needle and thread could
be passed.
It was 20 years or so later. when
goldseekers by the thousand flocked
into Montana and brought many gold
pieces with them that Little Dog be-
came aware Of his error At the Fort
Benton trading post where the Indians
traded their skins for tobacco, coffee,
sugar. and. among other things, brass
buttons with eyes" he saw the white
men handling the brass buttons with
out eyes with the greatest of care and
noted the value they placed upon them.
He noted that a single button, II 1t
had no eyes, would buy pound upon
pound of the things he and his people
wanted and he marveled that they
should possess such mighty power.
Those with eyes he understood. They
were desirable for ornamental pur-
poses, and he and his tribesmen had
traded many skins for just a few OF
them in the early days Of the trading
post. He recalled the box Of discs which
had once been in his possession and
told his pale faced brethren about it,
and pronounced the coins which the
traders showed him to be Identical
with those in the box which he had
left in the rocks along the Snake river.
Mai. Andrew Dawson. post trader
for the American Fur Co., at Fort
Benton, urged him to return and
search for them. BY promise of a large
reward and a sufficient portion Of the
coins to make him rich and powerful
among his people. Little Dog was fin
ally induced to make a start on a
trip to hunt for them. But Little Dogs
medicine had advised against It and
he hadn't gone far until he turned
back in obedience to 1t and he never
again could be prevailed upon to renew
the attempt
The legend Of the box full Of brass
buttons without eyes has to do with
