Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1942-01-23

In Sight was wounded, and but for
the timely aid of his sister, who took
him on her horse and carried him
away, he would have been killed. From
this incident the Cheyenne name for
this battle is Where the young girl
saved her brother"
White Shield. who before this battle
was known as Young Black Bird, tells
how his father. Spotted Wolf, a noted
Cheyenne warrior, prepared him for
battle. His narration illustrates Indian
customs, and shows their faith in the
help afforded by animals.
Spotted Wolf, when he heard the
news that the soldiers were coming.
said: My son, you had better tie up
your horse. Do not let him fill up
with grass. If a horses stomach is not
full, he can run a long way; if his
stomach is full, he soon gets tired. I
wish to see you take the lead on this
war trip"
Spotted Wolf had been taught by
the kingfisher bird and understood it.
Spotted Wolf said further: "Son, go
out and from one of the springs that
come out of the hillside get some blue
clay" After it had been brought to
him he painted on the shoulders and
hips of the horse the figure of a
kingfisher with its head toward the
front. Now" he said, your horse will
not get out of wind. Take him down
to the stream and give him plenty of
water; all he will drink" When White
Shield brought his horse back, his
father said: when you are ready to
start will go with you, and before
you make the charge, will put some
medicine on you" Just before they left
camp, Spotted Wolf said: Nov, drink
plenty of water and let this be your
last drink until the fight is over"
Painted Themselves
When they neared the enemy at
daybreak, they stopped to paint them
selves. Spotted Wolf painted White
Shield from head to foot with yellow
earth paint. From bundle containing
the clothes he wore in battle he took
a scalp, and placing the horse so that
it faced the south, he tied the scalp
to its lower jaw. Then he put his own
war shirt on White Shield, took his
kingfisher dhe stuffed skin of a king

fisher and held it up to the sun and
sang a song.
MY son." he said, this Is the song
sung to me when the spirits took pity
on me- If the kingfisher dives into
the water he never misses his prey
Today I wish you to do the same
thing. You shall count the first coup
in this fight"
After he had finished speaking he
tied the kingfisher to the sons scalp
lock. Held in the bill of the kingfisher
were some kingfisher's feathers, dyed
red. These feathers represented the
flash of a gun. Then he hung about
his sons neck a whistle made from
the bone of an eagles wing He said:
IF anyone runs up to you to shoot
you, make this noise Cmitating the
cry of kingfisher) and the bullets
will not hurt you" He took in his
mouth a little medicine and a little
earth, and raised the right forefoot
of the horse and blew little of this
on the sole of the hoof, and did the
same thing on the right hind foot, the
left hind foot, and the left forefoot.
Then he blew the medicine on the
horse between the ears, on the withers,
at the end of the name, and at the
root and end of the tail. Putting this
on the soles of his hoofs,'' said Spot
ted Wolf, will make him carry him.
self lightly and not fall. When you
come in sight of the enemy and are
going to charge, put the whistle in
your mouth and whistle. That is what
the kingfisher does when he catches
/ +c, IF
When you see the enemy they may
frighten you so that you will lose your
mind in battle, but I do not think
this will happen. You will frlghten
your enemies before they will frlghten
you. I have dressed you fully for war.
There are some women with the party;
you must not ride by the side of any
of them. Give me your quirt, son.
Rubbed Medicine On Quirt
He took some horse medicine and
rubbed it over the quirt and said: IF
you see anyone ahead of you and
whirl your quirt about your head, the
mans horse will fall. When you charge
try to keep on the right hand side
of everyone. Take pity on everyone. II
you see a man in a hard place, help
him if you can. If you yourself get
in bad place, do not get excited, but
try to shoot and defend yourself.
That is the way to become great. If
you should get killed, the enemy when
they go back will say that they fought
a man who was very brave; that they
had hard time to kill him."
Such were the instructions given
White Shield by his father.
In considering this preparation OF
White Shield for battle, as recounted
by Grinneu, in 1.-THE Fighting Chey-
ennes," its psychological effect should
not be overlooked. White Shield car
ried himself bravely; his confidence
in himself; his horse; and his quirt;
was due, undoubtedly to the stuffed
kingfisher's influence, the medicine,
and to Spotted VOLTS instructions, but
for a reason neither of the Indians
could have understood.
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1942-01-23

Little Hawks suggestion met with a
quick response. The band of Indians
set out for the place where they ex-
pected to find the horses; but on
reaching the top of the hill, they were
surprised to see the plain beneath
them covered with soldiers.
There are too many for us to fight"
said Little Hawk. Let us go back"
But the white soldiers had caught
sight of them, and sent shower of
bullets in their direction. The Indians
returned the fire wounding two men,
and then retreated.
Fight Occurred On Plain
The fight on the Rosebud was waged
eight days later. While the official
report says the attack of the Indians
was made at the entrance to a deep
and rocky canyon, Grinnell, who had
been over the ground, claimed that
the fight took place in wide, and
almost level plain, inclosed by high
bluffs. There is no dangerous deffle'
such as is told Of" The Indians did
not plan to lead the soldiers into a
trap, for there was no place in which
it could be done. On the contrary,
the Indian scouts of the troopers in
tended to lead the attacking party into
position where they would be be-
tween two bodies of soldiers.
1t was hard battle, and we'll fought
on both sides; but those who have
looked over the ground, and know the
facts of the case, state that General
Crook was thoroughly we'll beaten by
the Indians, and that he got awSy as
soon as he could"
Again it was Little Hawk who dis
covered the soldiers. He was out on
one of his horse stealing raids togeth-
er with four young men-Yellow Eagle,
Crooked Nose, Little Shield and White
Bird. They left the Cheyenne camp on
Reno creek. and passing through the
Wolf mountains, came to the Rosebud,
and waited for daylight. At its coming
they discovered a herd of buffalo, and
killed a bull. One of their number
called attention to some buffalo COWS
feeding on hill nearby and suggested
that they kill one of them, and have
better meat.
Leaving Crooked Nose to act as cook,
they started after the COWS, when they
saw Crooked Nose making signs to
them to come back. They lost no time
in doing so, and learned from Crooked
Nose that he had seen two men with
their horses on top of a neighboring
hill, and that they were coming
towards him.
They are Sioux" said Little Hawk
Come on and we will have some fun
with them" Going up a gulch, he
was intending to make a sham attack
on the supposed Sioux, and frighten
them, but not injure them. for they
were allies.
In Midst of Soldiers
Creeping to the ridge above, Little
Hawk looked over and found he was
almost in the midst of the. soldiers.
Turning back, Little Hawk raced down
to the river, and tore through the
underbrush and trees with his follow
ers close after him. AS they neared
the camp of the Cheyennes, the rae
ing men began to howl like wolves to
let the camp know they had discov-
cred something.
When the camp heard what Little
Hawk had to tell, the warriors has
tened to paint themselves; put on their
ornaments, and arrayed in their best,
strutted through the camp and then
set out for the field of battle.
Arrived there, among the first to
charge was Chief Comes In Sight.
With him went his sister. Chief Comes

Church and Home
By REV. M. SEN
Easter.


Many attempts by well-meaning
scholars to define Easter have not
been sufficiently convincing. Learned
sermons have failed to clear up diff
ficult points. Perhaps it is impossible
to penetrate the mystery of the re-
surrection? Or to understand it?
At least for anyone to explain it
unless he knows the power of God.
And that, as it seems, is past finding
out. Or is it?
Personally 1 believe that Easter
is an experience, and any attempt
therefore to explain it as an element
apart from human nature is frus-
trated by the very meaning of its
concept.
The most real element in human
life is in most instances omitted from
expositional treaties. Books and SER
mons on Easter deal almost exclu-
sively with the first, historical event
which is attested by scripture and by
faith, but certainly not by eye-wit-
nesses. This is all very well so far
IL,
the spark that fires the human heart,
may be missing. Human hearts are
set aglow only by eyewitness ac-
counts of Easter as an actual situa-
ton.
Easter today is the story of mans
terrific struggle with death. Of
course, it means victory. But only
when the risen life of Christ assumes
greater importance than my own little
self, only when I am in position
to continue the struggle; when 1
know that l am fleeing from Him,
saving myself from Him, and it can
not be done; when know it is death
to win the thing I struggle for, and
life to be defeated by Him.
Easter is certainty only if we are
willing to enter ife's battle, and let
our faith in the Redeemer be tested
by this final decision of the cross.
Joy was habit with the early
Christians. Stephan saw the glory
of God so that his face looked like
the face of an angel the day they
stoned him to death. Paul and Silas
in Jail spent the night singing. Peter
writes of "joy unspeakable and full
of glory" And still another writes,
Lets rejoice" All of these trails
of joy wind back to Calvary.
Easter means joy to longing human
ity. When the struggle is over we
shall know what it is When He has
conquered us, broken us as one takes
a pot and breaks it, broken down
the structure of our character and
inheritance.
The tendency has been to empha-
size the historical side of Christs life,
death and resurrection, and to pay
little or no attention to the personal
aspect of it.
The risen Christ still belongs to
history until, in the midst of our
struggles, we meet Him and are con-
quered by Him, and He becomes the
Christ of the road that we travel
