down. I was not told. The speeches
of Indians were not considered inn
portant. I took it for my own
benefit as a literary item"
And thus it was that the young
lieutenant who took down this
speech as a literary item" pre-
served for posterity this pathetic ut
terance of a heartbroken Indian
patriot. It has often been compared
with the historic speech of Chief
Logan Of the Cayugas, which be-
came widely known through being
printed in the McGuffey Readers
and which was favorite "piece to
be spoken" by several generations
of American schoolboys.
Wood was born in Erie, Pa,
February 20, 1852, the son Of Will
liam Maxwell Scott, who was the
first surgeon-general of the United
States navy. Educated at Erie
academy and Baltimore city college
he was appointed to the United
States Military academy at West
Point at the age of 10 by President
Grant. He was graduated in 1874
and soon after receiving his COM
mission as second lieutenant was
assigned to duty at Fort Bidwell in
northeastern California.
BY 1877 he was a first lieutenant
and on the staff of General Howard.
Detailed to act as military escort
to a civilian explorer in Alaska, he
was in that country when word
came of the outbreak of the Nez
Perez war. The same mail that
brought him word that his regiment
was ordered into the field also
brought him permission to stay on
for the exploration of Alaska but he
elected to join his regiment. Thus,
as aide to General Howard, he par
ticipated in the long, stern chase
after the fleeing Nez Perces.
The Nez Perez campaign, howev-
er, was not his only Indian war
service. The next year he served
on Towards staff in the Bannock
and Piute campaign in Idaho which
was nearly as strenuous and dam
gerous as that of 1877. For a year
or so he was stationed at Fort Van
couver across the river from Port
land, Ore, and while there he re-
solved to quit the army and study
law. Before resigning from the
army he was made adjutant at the
military academy at West Point and
while there began studying law, re.

young Nez Perez warrior marked
the opening of the "war." He be-
gan concentrating troops at all stra-
tegic points to surround the Nez
Perez. The first engagement took
place on June II when Captain
Perry and a small body of troops
attacked Joseph's camp in White
Bird canyon. Displaying unexpect-
ed military skill, Joseph laid trap
for Perry and all but annihilated his
command.
After this defeat General Howard
took the field himself and the chase
was on. Before it was ended the
Nez Perez leader outwitted, out
fought and outmarched the troops of
Howard, Colonel Sturgis of the Sew
enth cavalry and several other de-
tachments sent to intercept him. To
realize the greatness of his achieve
ment one has but to read this brief
summary:
The Nez Perez leader was encum-
bered with women and children
whom he refused to desert and allow
them to fall into the hands of the
soldiers, as he might have done sew
eral times to facilitate his flight. His
fighting force never at any time ex-
ceeded 300 warriors. Yet with these
handicaps he fought II engage
ments, five of them pitched battles,
and he lost only one. In the other
six skirmishes he killed 1875 and
wounded 40 of the 1000 soldiers
who were on his trail at one time or
another with a loss of ISL killed and
SO wounded of his own people.
Then, having left his pursuers far
behind, he stopped so miles short of
his goal = the Canadian line = in
order to give his weary people a
chance to rest. He did not know of
the approach of Col. Nelson A. Miles
and the Fifth Infantry until his
camp in the Bear Paw mountains
in Montana was attacked on the
morning of September 80. For five
days the Nez Perez leader and his
little band, greatly outnurnbered,
withstood the soldiers attacks.

Death Of 91-Year-0Id California Author Recalls
How He, as a Young Army Lieutenant, Recorded for
Posterty Famous Speech Of Great Indian Chief
Bv ELMO SCOTT WATSON

Released by western Newspaper Union.
THE recent death Of Col.
i Charles Erskine Scott Wood
in California recalls one of the
most dramatic incidents in
American military history, for
he was one of the chief actors
in that drama. It was the sur
render of Chief Joseph of the
Nez Perez Indians in the Bear
Paw mountains of Montana on
October 5, 1877, after his epic
retreat of more than l 1000 miles
which won for him a place
among the great captains OF all
time.
Colonel Wood, then a young
lieutenant on the staff of Gen.
o. o. Howard, was present at
the surrender, took down the
Indian leaders surrender
speech" and it is to him that
we are indebted for a complete
and accurate text of what has
become a classic of American
oratory.
The story of the Nez Perez war Of
1877 and of Chief Joseph's retreat
is too familiar tale to need repeti-
ton in all its details here. It's origin
was the old, old story of a broken
treaty, of white men covetous for
Indian lands, of white aggression
that brought about retaliation by the
red man and then a call for troops
to "put down an Indian uprising"
In this case, however, the leader Of
the Nez Perces did not decide to try
to defend his native soil by fighting
the soldiers. Instead, he conceived
the bold plan of fleeing with his
people to Canada, fighting only If
the troops barred his road.
Gen. o. o. Howard, commander of
the Military Department Of the Co.
lumbia, acted promptly when news

Old Boots as Mail Boxes
In Early Days of America

Old boots were the first individ-
ual post office mail "boxes" in
America, owing to the scarcity Of
nails and the high cost of wood.
Soles of the boots were fastened
to the wall and the mail was de-
posted in the roomy boot legs by
the postmaster.
Envelopes weren't used in the
United States until 1912. They
came from France and for a long
time were frowned upon as an af-
fectation. People of "good taste"
folded the letter sheet and either
fastened the edges with sealing
wax, or sewed them together
around the outside.

The doctor was seized by

whether he was addicted TO

likely, just a bloodthirsty gent

No explanation was given by
authorities as TO why the doc
tor was reckless enough to let

vanity of the successful Grim

negligence of the lunatic.
The police trumpeted that a

Vichy and Berlin broadcast ru-

was part of a ring organized to

Criminal Record

From the files of doSsiers that
the Paris police keep on every
one from saints TO scoundrels,
officials bent over that of DR..
Marcel Petiot, and soon the
radio was screaming that he had
been a delinquent child, being
guilty of perversion and robbing
the mails, that he had once been
convicted and fined for an i'm
proper deal in narcotics, that he
had once been both doctor and
mayor of Villeneuve. a small
town on the Yonne River, but
had had to leave there because
of a dispute over missing funds.
With this interesting ground

a real estate agent, he let II
be known that he was in the
market for a secluded villa in
a neighborhood of character. No
sinister streets or criminal hide
aways for DR.. Petiot.
Perhaps he was aware that in
the better districts there is none
of the dangerous curiosity of
the poor; that the indifference
of people with money can be a
cloak of security for the evil
doer in their midst. When the
agent suggested a small house
in the Passy district, only half
a mile from the beauty of the
Bots de Boulogne, the doctor was
delighted. He surrounded the
property with a 12-foot wall and
set about installing the para
phernalia of crime.

A Double Existence

For a long time many of his
patients had been the shady
ladies of the demi-monde and
like their ilk all over the world,
they needed drugs to make life
bearable.
But the good DR.. Petiot's
office in the Rue Caumartin was
in the vicinity of Place de
POpera and the Church of the
Madeleine, and it did not en-
nance his repu tation with
wealthy patients if they encoun-
tered the soiled sirens in his
waiting room.
So, blasted the radio, the doc

prey 10 a secret rendezvous and
plucked their lives IN the name
of science.
The police lost no time seiz-
ing and grilling DR. Petiot's wife
and his brother, Maurice. After
telling veral contradictory
stories, the brother admitted
buying qulcklime or orders from
the doctor, but he denied all
knowledge of the ultimate pNr-
pose. Madame Petiot, the daugh-
ter of a wealthy landowner in
the Yonne Department, 70 miles
southeast of Paris, swore that
they knew nothing about No. Il,
where the stink of the battle
field had begun TO abate.
The police then announced
the arrest of one NeZondet, who
was alleged TO have said that
Maurice Petiot told him that the
doctor kept a record of his kill
ings, which numbered between
80 and so and had been COM
mitted with a mechanical needle
remotely controlled. The writer
has found that only~one Neon
Diet is listed in the Paris city
directory and he runs a small

Instead. say the police. sDr.
Petiot gave her a hypodermic

broken blossom could forego
that experience.

it was a discovery of his own;
