Robbed of Their Trophles.
When the late Gen. Edward M. McCook was living near Pike’s Peak, he on one occasion presided at a dinner In honor of a famous Indian fighter. McCook, says the Washington Star, concluded his introduction of the Indian fighter with these words: I can find but one fault with the colonel’s methods. I allude to his wellknown custom of enlisting in his regiment only bald-headed men. To aggravate the Indians’ feelings so cruelly as that is carrying wgr too far.
