Indion Braves Eyewitness Story, With Pictures,
Of Clusters Last Stand Rests in Smithsonian

In 1881, DR.. Charles E.. Nc
Chesney. who was stationed al
the Cheyenne River Indian
Agency, met Red Horse. The
physician persuaded Red Horse
how, no one knows-to teach
him the Indians universal hand
sign language. This task must
have taken many weeks.
When he had learned the
hand language, the physician
then had Red Horse draw his
account of the battle.
These drawings were done on
Al pieces of what looks like news
print, 26 inches by "a inches
wide. They are executed in PEN
Gil, ink. what seems to be crayon
and water paint or dye.
Although the drawings are of
historic Importance, the doctors
accompanying explanation of
the sign language was Of great
immediate Importance. Until
that time, most Of the dealings
with Indians by the whites were
handled by half-breed interpre-
ters or frontiersmen

the scene. His story was the
patchwork Of "reminiscences told
him by warriors in the fight.
But there was one who not
only told of his part in the battle
but who drew graphic pictures
of the whole thing. He was Red
Horse, who was digging turnips
at the start.
Red Horses tale recently came
to light again when a news pho
tograph service circulated photos
of drawings by Red Horse that
are now in a Santa Fe museum.
The original Red Horse Saraw-
ings and a written translation of
sign-language account of the
battle have lain since 1888 in
the files of the Smithsonian In
stitution's American ethnology
section. They were published
that year in the yearly report of
the ethnology section.
It is unlikely that later gen.
erations should ever have seen
the only eyewitness accounts of
the battle except for the dill
gence of an otherwise obscure

Since that day 70 years ago

They have never been entirely
accurate because not one of Gus

The only people who knew
what really happened were the

Many Of them took the bloody
memory with them when they
died. At least one, Sitting Bull,

TumuIt and the Mayor
Of Alexandra Deport

1T was the original pumper given
to Alexandria's Friendship Com
pany by George Washington.
The mayor learned it was in
Baltimore and fast-talked ON
cials OF that city into sending 1t
back to Alexandria, where it now
is on exhibit, courtesy of the
Baltimore firemen.
Somehow Mayor Beverley got
President Eisenhower interested
in the fire engine situation. The
mayor was granted an audience
lat the White House. where he
made the President an honorary
member of Friendship. President
Eisenhower visited Alexandria
and attended Christ Church with
Mayor Beverley and Senator
Byrd, Democrat Of Virginia, who
lis a cousin Of the Alexandria
mayor.
It was Mayor Beverley who
nominated President Eisenhower
for the Presidency in 1948 at the
Virginia State Democratic Con-
|vention. It never bothered Mayor
Beverley that Mr.. Eisenhower
turned out to be a Republican.
The mayor, who calls himself a
conservative Democrat. is still a
staunch admirer Of the President.
Not all of Mayor Beverley's
time has been devoted to pub
licity ventures. He was a sup
porter of the sewage disposal
program, now under way. He
successfully fought a number of
proposed tax increases, And.
perhaps most important of all.
he kept his oft repeated promise
to keep the people informed"
about what was going on at City
Hall.
On more than one occasion
tha mayor saw fit to tell the
newspapers about municipal
goings on that other city officials
preferred to keep quiet.
It is q safe bet that Mayor
Beverley's retirement is tenn
porary. His keen interest in city
affairs and love for political ex-
citment are sure to draw him
back into the public eye before
long.

By MARY LOU WERNER

This week marks the end Of
q colorful three-year chapter In
Alexandria's long and eyentful
history.
1t ends the term of Mayor
Marshall ]. Beverley, champion
key-to-the-city bestower and
fire engine chaser who more
than once put his city in the
national limelight during his
three-year term of office.
Thursday is his last day as
mayor. He did not seek re-elec-
ton.
On Friday, Leroy s. Bendheim,
who often looked disdainfully
upon Mayor BeYerley's activities,
becomes mayor.
Mr.. Bendheim won the po-
sition by receiving the highest
number of votes in the recent
council election.
Aware of Criticism
Mayor Beverley was aware
that some frowned on his con-
slant ventures into the public
limelight.
Let 'em talk" he would
chuckle. And on and on he went
to appear on national television
programs, to storm the heights
Of ALBANY. N. Y, in quest of an
ancient fire engine, and to hob
mob with President Eisenhower
The walls of his Office and the
First and Citizens National
Bank, where he is a vice presi-
dent, are cluttered with photo
graphs of the energetic mayor
and celebrities who have come
to know him - including Hop
along Cassidy.
None could predict what
Mayor Beverley would be up to
next. At 43. he can outwalk and
outtalk the most vivacious teen
ager. The only thing his fellow
council members felt safe about
, predicting was that they could
find his name in the newspapers
almost any day.
There was the time he decided
to tackle flying airplanes.
Everyone agreed they were a
nuisance, but no one thought
anything could be done about it.
Mayor Beverley was not so
aint-hearted. On more than one
occasion he had the top brass
of the Civil Aeronautics Admin
istration squirming uneasily in
the Alexandria City Council
Chambers.
CAA finally changed some
take-off and approach patterns
Mayor Beverley got a city ordi-
nance passed, requiring planes
to stay 1000 feet above Alexan-
dria whenever possible.
Engineering
Another Beverley exploit in
volved an old fire engine that
the mayor claimed was stolen
from his city by Yankee troops
during the Civil War. His efforts
to get it back took him to the
State capital at Albany and to
an appearance on Ed Murrow's
"See 1t Now" television program.
He did not get the engine back
(he is still trying) but at least
a lot of people all over the coun-
try were led to know about
Alexandria.
In the course Of seeking the
Hudson fire engine, another
piece of fire fighting apparatus
caught Mayor Beverley's fancy

Arlington Rivals
Row Over Fines
In Traffic Cases
Cooper and Brown
Dispute Legality Of
So, 900 in Receipts

A charge that Arlington Coun-
ty Court has been assessing fines
illegally was made by one candi-
date for county Judge yesterday
and promptly denied by another.
Wesley W. Cooper, board mem.
ber now seeking the judgeship,
said that of $60.o00 receipts re-
ported by the court, $4,000 had
been Illegally forfeited by many
of the 400 motorists who have
been arrested for failing to show
driving licenses.
Mr.. Cooper said State law all
lows accused persons q reason
able time to produce q license
before being found guilty.
Mr.. Cooper's opponent in the
July 70 Democratic primary is
Substitute Judge Paul D. Brown.
who has spent most Of his time
on the bench in traffic court.
Says Action Was Legal
Judge Brown said the law ap-
plies only to Virginia residents
land he added that the law has
been followed in Arlington. Tic
keted motorists who report to
the County Violations Bureau.
he said, are asked If they can
produce a driving license that
was in effect before the arrest.
If they can. the Judge said, there
Is no penalty-no fine, no re-
Iquired collateral.
A similar procedure is fol-
lowed If the motorist goes to
court, Judge Brown said.
At yesterdays County Board
meeting. Mr.. Cooper made q pro-
Iposal regarding the arrest pro-
Icedure which was accepted. He
called for amending the present
traffic ticket to include state
ment that motorist, tagged for
failing to show a permit does not
need to forfeit collateral If he
produces his permit at the Vio-
lations Bureau.
Motives Questioned
Mr.. Cooper's suggestion was
approved only after a .fiare-up
by Comomnwealth's Attorney
William J. Hassen, who ques-
toned whether Mr.. Cooper was
speaking as a board member or
a candidate.
The resolution as originally
proposed asked the county man
ager and Commonwealth's at
torney to draft the amendment.
Mr.. Hassan said: "Mr. Cooper,
I understand that you are q can
didate .. don't believe your
talk here is as a member Of the
board. I would like the candi-
dates to refrain from using the
Commemorative attorneys Office
for a political campaign" he
added. a.
The proposal was changed to
delete the reference to Mr.. Has
sans office.
Board Chairman George M.
Rowzee, jr., commented that the
board "has consistently been on
record in favor of courteous
attitude to the motorist" but
that I'VE can be over-eager at
times In pursuing our duties"
He added: "I am not a candi-
date for office, now or in the
future"

Virginio Policy Distf6ges'
No Move to Inteqrote
BY til. Associated Press

The State administrations
policy announcement on segre-
gated pulic school operation in
Virginia next year incidated one
thing clearly to perplexed local
governments last week.
Virginia has no official plan
for meeting the Supreme Court
Fdecree to move with deliberate
speed" toward integration Of the
the races in public school class
rooms.
The policy announced by Gov.
Stanley and the State Board Of
Education to proceed with the
present segregated operation of
schools for the next year fell
short Of providing the assurance
some counties wanted to hear
liz indeed that was its intention.
Continuance Doubted
A board Of supervisors chair
man from one Of the three
counties toying with the idea Of
abandoning public education en-
Itirely If segregation end said he,
flor one, was unwilling to accept
the policy as any guarantee that
school education could continue
"juSt because you want 1t to-"
This statement came from w.
IT. Hunnicutt of the Sussex
board which earlier in the month
Withdrew its approval of a local
school operating budget and de-
Icided on installment appropria-
tions with installments to be met
Ias long as separate education
could continue.
Mr.. Hunnicutt said he felt the
governing bodies of Prince Ed
ward and Nottoway counties felt
the same way about the policy
Ideclaration.
Prince Georges Gets Order
Prince Edward is the one
county under the Supreme Court
gun. Only Prince Edward, spe-
Icigcally, has been directed to
proceed with all deliberate
speed" to start toward integra-
ton as one of the principals
in the cases before the high
court.
Prince Edward made its own
policy. That was to refuse to
appropriate any funds for public
education-other than q mini
mum amount for maintenance
and debt service on bonded con-
Istruction. This was done on the
legal assumption that the federal
courts cannot enforce integra-
tion in the schools if the schools
are not being operated at all.
County Plans Defense
The county is expected to offer
this defense when its school
board is brought back into Fed
Ieral District Court to answer as
Ito compliance with the Supreme
Court decree. Thus far, the dis
trict court at Richmond has not
received the Prince Edward case
back from the Supreme Court.
Although the State has an
nounced a policy for operating
segregated schools next session,
actually each local school board
makes its own policy. Gov. Stan
LEY noted this at a press confer
ence at which the State policy
was announced Thursday.
A reporter asked whether o
