NE of the most important events In the . history of the western plains is being I recalled during the week of October | 12 to 14. when the sixtieth anniversary of the famous Medicine Lodge Indian peace treaty Is being observed at Medicine Lodge. Kan., with appropriate ceremonies. The principal ceremony Is a historical pageant, written and directed by Prof. F. L. Gilson, head of the department of speech at

the State Teachers’ college of Emporia, in which United States troops. Indians from Oklahoma and citizens of Kansas are taking part in portraying the events leading up to and Including the peace council and the signing of the treaties more than half a century ago. A monument marking the spot where the treaty was signed Is also being unveiled, and although there has in the past been some dispute as to the actual site, that question was settled last year when I-See-O, a famous Kiowa Indian scout who, as a young man: had been present at the council, came up from Oklahoma and definitely located the place. This old Kiowa warrior had itie distinction of being made a sergeant In the United Staten army by an act of congress for his services to the government In keeping peace among his tribesmen —an honor which he~prized until his death on March 11. 1927. He remembered that the distinguishing feature of the council grounds was a circle of trees and It was by these, although only the stumps (shown in the picture) now remain, that he located place. The Medicine Lodge council and treaty was one of the high spots In the series of Indian wars which had broken out soon after the close of the Civil war. The red men saw with dismay the • threatened extinction of the buffalo and the \ overrunning of their choicest hunting grounds and they had eve: greater cause for alarm at the appearance of the “iron horse" as the westward extension of the railroads began. The unrest among the Sioux and other trlbep of the northern plains, which had begur when the first California gold seekers had Invaded their lands and which had resulted in the Fort Phil Kearney tragedy, soon spread among the tribe* of the southern plains and led to a aeries of raids which spread terror through Kansas. Military expeditions sent to punish the marauders had comparatively little success. General Hancock’s expedition, perhaps the best known of all of them, tn four months of campaigning killed a total of four Indians! Gen era I Custer's campaign during the summer of 1867 along the Republican and Smoky HUI rivers had proved futile and the Indian raids In Kansas, Nebraska and along the South Platte In Colorado continued unchecked. So the government decided to try peace overtures Instead of military force to active the problem. One of the best accounts of the Medicine Lodge treaty is that given by George Bird Grinnell in his book, "The Fighting Cheyennes." In II t* says: Colonel Leavenworth, then agent for the Kiowa* and Comanche*, had been ordered by th* commissioner of Indian affairs to try to bring together all the tribe* that had been hostile, and to make a peace with them. In order ’• do thia. Colonel Leavenworth wrote to George Bent. Baking him to do what he could to persuade Some of the head men among the Indian* to come In. and meet Leavenworth at the mouth of th* Little Arkansas river where the Wichita* were then living. . . When Black Kettle, chief of the Cheyenne*, was consulted about the matter, h* expressed his willingness to go. and he and Bent, with two or three other men and women, started to go to th* mouth of the Little Arkansas. There they found Colonel Leavenworth, and camped with him wer* Ten Bear* and Long Hat. chief* of the Comanche*: Wolf Sleeve of th* Apache* and Black Eagle, a young chief of the Kiowa*, with two or three of his peopl*. Three Arapaho** cam* tn th* same day that Bent and Black Kettle reached there. On* of these was a aubchief named Yellow Horse. Th* day after these people got tn. Colonel Leavenworth met the chief* and explained to them that he had been ordered by the commissioner of Indian affair* to meet some of the chiefs of th* different tribe* and discuss the question of peace, and to ask them to select a place wh*re they would m**» commissioners who were to come out from Washington to talk matters over, and mak* a peace If thia could be arranged. . . . Colonel Leavenworth now returned to Fort Larn.d for further

Excellent Reason for Boy’s Chivalrous Act

A Franklin woman attended a He* tare show, and noticed the eleven yearold son of • neighbor escorting bis younger sister with all the chivalry of an adult. Soon after, when aba was calling on the neighbor and the family had assembled, thinking to please the parents as well as the boy. •be said: “WelL I saw something at the show the other night that pleased me Imawnaeiy. It was your aon accom-

Instructions and asked Bent to remain at the mouth of the Little Arkansas until further orders. Leavenworth was gone about a month. . - On, hts return he read Bent a letter announcing that Thomas Murphy, the superintendent of Indian affairs for the district, was already at Fort Larned and that great quantities of goods were being 1 shipped In there for distribution to the Indians. After some negotiations as to where the council was to be held and some more time s|»ent in sending messengers to the Indians to get their promise to attend, the site was finally fixed. A few day* attar this. Murphy moved out to Medicine Lodge creek and selected a spot f*r the council ground. It was a wide, level flat on the north side of the stream, with timber above and below, and good camping places. . . . Murphy was camped there for about a month before th* commissioners came and during all this time sixmule teams were busy hauling out goods and presents from Fort Larned. Among the thing* sent out were a herd of beef cattle, much coffee, sugar and flour and dried fruits and a vast quantity of blanket* and clothing, material made up for th* us* of troop* during the Civil war and at its close left over In the hands of the War department. The War departmen: had turned this clothing over to the Interior department for issue to the Indian*. ... The peac* commissioner* left Fort Larned October IS, 1817. for the camp on Medicine Lodge. Word had been received from Thoma* Murphy that he already had 131 lodges of people on the ground and expected a* many more. He believed there would be 5.000 Indians at the council. Besides the com-’ missioner* (they were N. G. Taylor, commissioner of Indian affair*: Senator John B. Henderson of Missouri; Gen. W. T. Sherman: Gen. W. L. Harney; Gen. J. B. Sanborn: Gen. A. H. Terry: Gen. C. C. Augur, and Col. 9. F. Tappan), the Indian depart- I ment was represented by Superintendent Murphy. Colonel Leavenworth. Major Wynkoop, Colonel | Rankin and John Smith, interpreter. General Augur reached the camp a little later. He had been ordered to join the commission, to take the place of General Sherman, who had been recalled to Washington. . . . I There wer* present also Governor Crawford (of Kansas). ex-Lleutenant Governor Root and Senator Rosa Th* secretary was A. S. H. White Th* occasion was on* of importance. The commission was escorted to th* place of meeting by litre* trovps of the Seventh cavalry (Custer’s regiment Gen. E. 9. Godfrey, then a lieutenant, and probably the only officer of the Sev*uth who attended th* council now alive, was attached to'the escort) and [ a battery of Gatling guns. A number of newspaper correspondents were present, among them H. M. Stanley, then correspondent of th* New York Herald and afterward famous as an African explorer. (An interesting account of the council la given In Stanley's “Early Travel and Adventures.”) In fact, the Medicine Lodge council would be notable for the galaxy of famous frontier personages connected with It in some capacity or other, if for nothing else. For in addition to these above-mentioned Its history contains the names of Col. A. G. Boone, grandson of the famous Kentucky pioneer, and Gen. Kit Carson, who had been active In the preliminary arrangements and of some of the famous Indian chiefs who took part in It. Among these were Lone Wolf. Satanta, Satank and Kicking Bird of the Klowaa. Black Kettle. Medicine Arrow and Bull Bear of the Cheyennes and Little Raven. Spotted Wolf and I*l low Bear of the Arapahoes. Tb» old files of the newspapers which were represented by correspondents at the council reveal some interesting sidelights on this historic ; event. For instance, in the New York Tribune for October 23. 1867. an echo of the Indian’s resentment against the white man for wasteful slaughter of the buffalo is beard In this paragraph from the Tribune correspondent’s dispatch: On th* thirteenth w* reached Medicin* Lodge creek at a point eight mi)** from the Indian vlllag**. Satanta, who was with us. was very cross becaus* th* young blood* accompanying the expedition had shot th* buffalo and left them where they fell. Said a*, a* the angry blood mounted up to hl* fac*. “Ha* the white man become a child, that he should kill the buffalo for sport? When th* red men kill, they do so that they may liv*.” It was a most reckless, extravagant course to pur su* undoubtedly, and an unprejudiced man could not bldme him for hi* language. The scene which greeted the eyes of the commissioners and other members of the party upon their arrival at the Indian-camp is thus described by this same correspondent: Th* camp was strewn with the moat miscellaneous article* that could be conceived.

Young braves and boys romped in a complete state of nudity, with the exception of an apology for a breach clout, in the shape of a narrow rag. Leapfrog and baseball after their own fashion were the principal games. A few hurled the tomahawk at a target, while others practiced with headless arrows. Girls ten years old and upward wrestled and fought, their light, agile forms performing wild circumgyrations !n th* air. All these | scenes transpired before our eyes, and were very interesting to persons who had never seen such j before. Os some of the important Indian figures at the council, this correspondent gives the following interesting picture: x The following chiefs were at the grand council held today, representing their respective tribes: Ccmanches— Pavy - Wah - Sah - Mer (Young Bear, head chief): Tlp-pah-pen-nov-aly (Painted Lips); Boy-ah-wah-to-yeh-b* (Iron’ Mountain); Par-er-eh-ve (Wise Shield); Za-mah-we-ah; (Without Wealth), the whole consisting of 100 lodges. Os the Kiowa?—Sat-an-ta (White Bear), head sachem; Black Eagle; Slt-em-g*-ah (Stumbling Bear): Sa-tank (Sitting Bear); Ton-a-ew-ko (Kicking Bird), th* whole tribe numbering 150 ( lodges. Os th* Arapahoe*, Little Raven, head caslque Great Arapaho* nation; Spotted Wolf; Storm: Yellow Bear; Powder Face, and Ice. representing 171 lodges. The Apaches, numbering tn all 85 lodges were represented by th* head warrior. Wolf Sleeve, and the chiefs. Poor Bear, Iron Shirt and Crow. The Cheyenne tribe was represented by Black Kettle, formerly great sachem of the tribe, but Who has lately been deposed because of his peaceful proclivities. and Bull Bear, a most powerful wairior, is substituted instead. Bull Bear, chief of the Dog band, was also present., present head warrior of th* Cheyenne tribe; Big Tall Bull: Heap of Birds; Slim Fac*: Black White Man. and GreyHead. representing in all 250 lodges. These chiefs were dressed In the most picturesque manner. Their faces wer* dyed with red ochre, with curious hieroglyphics drawn in other colors on their cheeks. Their head-dresses were of a very unique cut—eagle feathers in plenty stuck in a circle all standing erect and forming a headdress resembling a crown. Their ears were hung with bra** ring* of every *ixe, ranging from one Inch to three in diameter. Their .scalp locks wer* plaited and hung down the baca adorned by a string of silver plates reaching to the heel. On their br«a*ts we're shield* of curiously carved shells, enormous silver crosses, and silver medals Their wrists and fingers were incased in rings of brass Their feet were covered with moccasins, strung with beads of every color, worked in the shape of flowers, leaves, ring*, stars and any other way that their vivid fancy could devise. Black Kettle wore on his head a tall dragoon hat. whil* flowing over his shoulders and trailing on th* ground wa* a long robe of th* finest blue cloth Other chief* had gaudy blanket* Interwoven with fancy colors Some had Mexican serapes, whll* th* r*at wore blue. red. black and green blanket* The negotiations and distribution of present* t dragged on for three weeks and although a treaty was signed. In the long ran It carp? to little The main point agreed upon by the Indians was that they were to remain south of the Arkansas river and to refrain from molesting the whites. The commissioners made various promises to feed and clothe the red men and give them other presents. As it turned out, the terms of the treaty were lived up to strictly by neither the whites nor the Indians, and the next two years saw continued fighting. For. as Grinnell has pointed out. "the giving of a few presents and the signing of treaties by a few chiefs would not appease the Indians, whose livelihood, the buffalo, was being destroyed and driven away.” So the inevitable clash of the two irreconcilable points of view followed. Although Medicine Lodge failed to establish a permanent peace. It is notable for being one of the greatest gatherings of Indians ever held in the West and as a dramatic spectacle its memory has lived and is being perpetuated in the celebration this year.

THE DOG RANGE AND WOLVES

(® by D. J Walsh.t LOTH bad removed the bandage and washed the wound when be heard voices. Somehow, coming just now, they made him uneasy. He had seen blood on the mui zle of Range that morning. He would have called Ann. but she was in the other room looking after Izette. who was nearly as bad off as Champ. » The voices were approaching. Loth examined the wound carefully. It was satisfactory and he replaced the bandages with fresh ones. His rifle was in a corner, but he was just as good with revolvers at their range, and they were handler. The outside door opened in this room and the one into the other was closed. Izette had been restless during the night and her sister wished to shut out sounds. Loth bent over his patient. “Remember, you're a man. Champ.’’ he said in a low voice, “more than twelve years old. Your sister Ann has hardly slept in a week. I hoped if Izette could get quiet that Ann might find some rest today. Try not to disturb them, no matter what you hear outside.” The boy nodded, his steady eyes regarding the man intently. “Os course.” he assented, “but It’s odd Izette’s worse off. when she was wounded like me.” “You don’t quitje understand." gently. “Izette’s only a little girl, while you’re a big, strong man. Besides she had a bad fall when you stumbled over the high bank in the darkness. It was a terrible experience for a little girl to go through.” Again the boy nodded, his eyes still regarding the man. In them were devotion and hero yorshlp. “S’pose ’twas pretty bad. she being only seven. But I’m thinkin’ now howfunny ‘twas you happened to be there right In the nick o’ time.” “1 was sort of looking out.” “Like you was when the bull moose charged me an’ 1 was saved from being a goner. an’ when I took the cub an' papa an’ mamma grizzly rushed for me not ten yards off. You came from behind a rock, but didn’t have time for anything ’cept to grab me. cub an’ all. an’ jump forty feet from the cliff into the river. That was busy fun's I ever had.” “You never told your sister anything about—me being there?" quickly. “Course not. You told me not to. But I never could see why. Once I heard you say you liked Ann. an’ I know she likes Uarin’ things. She’s that way herself. I don’t guess Ann ever had any thought ’bout you being In the country till that night the wolves chased us—an’ still. I don’t know. Ann’s mighty quick to scent out things, though wbat she finds out she keeps to herself, mostly.” The boyish eyes grew perplexed. “I don’t see what you stay off so for,” he complained. almost fretfully. “You ain’t scared of grizzlies nor anything tn the wdrld ’cept Just Ann. an’ she’s gentle as—as anything, an’ the best girl in the world, if she is my sister. I wish we could go back to our old home In the fofest away from this crowded-together country an’ the schoolin’ sis brought us for. ’Taint no good here, with four houses right In sight of each other an’ not so many miles apart. Wei ’long to the woods, not to fussin’ close neighborhoods. What I wish for more’n anything else in all this world is for you an’ her to get friends, an’ then you build a cabin right near to u& Then you an’ me could go huntin’ an’ fishin’ an’ you could teach me whiles. An’ Ann could teach me some, too. Both of you know moren’t that teacher who come to get us t’other day. Said she got 50 cents a month for teaching, an’ had twelve. Talked so much ’bout me an’ Izette hayin’ to come that I up an’ told her she didn’t know as much as either of you. an* then she said what could folks expect for $6 a month an’—” “Gr-r-rrh —“ came a hoarse rumble from without. “That’s Range.” said Loth quietly, with a hard glint in his eye the boy didn’t see. “Very likely Range couldn’t And any game in the wood* round here, and has come back for his breakfast. Pll go and see.” “Breakfast—that growl!" scorned the boy. after Loth bad slipped out and closed the door softly behind him. “It’s a grizzly growl, a dozen grizzlies’ growl. He rumbled like that when he faced the pack of volves." It was a pack of wolves Range was facing now. His fangs showed and from behind them came the deep rumble of battle, i Six men were dosing round in front, all with rifles. Loth stepped before the dog. “Ont of the way.” ordered the leader of the assailants, harshly. “That’s a sheep killer, an’ we want him.”

Urges Truth Be Told on Family Skeletons

How much better off everyone would be if, Instead of making up lies about the skeletons in their family closets, they would tell the truth about them, writes Rebecca West in an article in Liberty. “As the years go by, and people tell one their life stories, and one sees families rise and fall." the writer asserts. "one realises that everybody has disreputable relations. But we practice discretion about it. Each of us pretends that be has no skeletons in his cupboard. But so do all the other folk. So each is left thinking he has a corner in skeletons. But if the truth were known, then nobody would have to worry. “That point would be proved easily enough if every town would have a day of confession concerning its relations, and the best and the worst foik would get up and say: ‘Father didn’t give up the ministry because he wanted to finish the Commentary on the Ephesians; it was rye.’ Or: ‘We bad

“Sick childien in here, as maybe you know,” Loth said, tn lowered voice. “We’ll walk off a little way." “Then bring the dog along,” threateningly. “He’s killed two sheep, one last night and one the night before an’ now we’re uut for him. Get me?” Loth didn't answer. He walked 300 or 400 yards, dropping a hand now and then upon the dog's bead to keep him on the side away from the men. Not even the mistress or the young master had such control over the big dog as Loth. Though he had lived apart from the forest home and kept himself hidden for the most part, he and the dog had gone on many a hunt. “Now. men, I want a little talk with you,” hje said, when he stopped and faced them. “All right,” was the surly answer, “when we’ve killed that ugly brute. Either he’ll fly at us or make a dash into thje woods, whar no one could find him. Two sheep—” “I don’t often ask a favor of any man.” said Loth, still quietly, “but I do now. Let me tell—” “Stahd away from that dog or we’ll —hey, what!” for two revolvers were menacing them. “Let your weapons drop on the ground}” coldly. “The first one who lifts one so much as an inch I’ll drop. This d<ig beside me is worth the whole bunch of you, and rather than have him killed I will kill you ail. That’s right,” as the rifles rattled to the ground. “Now, hands up. quick, and listen !| 1 was willing to talk fair, but you're a set of cheap—” “Careful.” broke in the one who had spoken first. “I’m sheriff, an’ all but two ol' these are my dep’ties. The other two are owners of the killed sheep. We’ve heard tell something bout you. Hank Loth, an' the way ye handle weepons, an something 'bout your demon dog that tackles an' kills a b'ar. We counted for trouble, mebbe. That’s why 1 say be careful. Were the law. The whole gov'ment is back of us. It’s like this—first, we kill th ? dog. thm we talk if you want to—though it’s likely we’ll punish ye some ’or contempt of court." His hands were commencing to lower when something in the eyes behind the barrels caused them to stiffen up spaamodically. «D—don’t shoot,” he stuttered. “I’m sh-sh-sheriff. It’s high treason.” “AH right,” evenly, “I’ve changed my mind about putting up fairness to you. You’re not intelligent and human enough for that. I had thought of fastening the dog except when out with him and offering his wonderful record against two sheep. Range is so intelligent that 1 could soon teach him the difference between sheep and wild animals. But. that would be above your heads. So I’ll Just mention a few things and let you go. To my personal knowledge Range has saved more than twenty lives, and 1 don’t know half his history. About the hpuse he is as gentle as a kitten and perfectly safe with children. Miss Candish was bringing her brother and sister nearer to civiliaation In hope of better schooling for them. She had always lived in the remote forest with her father, who was an ardent naturalist and hunter. After he died they preferred to remain until now. Coming here, a pack of wolves attacked them, and but for the dog, with a little help from me. all would have been killed. It seems to me such a dog. trith nothing against him but two paltrj sheep, for which he isn’t really to blnme. should—” “Be killed!” yelled the sheriff as Loth’i; face half turned at a step behind.! The man had been waiting for any possible chance, and now his hand dartei (or his rifle. But before it could be raised to a level a shot rang out. Ihe bullet evidently striking the barrel, for there was a clink of metal, a ho'il from the man and the weapon fell back to the ground. “Hold your hands up again. high,“ callee a clear, girlish voice. “Mr. Loth, you yo and search them for revolvers. Draw charges from them and from the rifles and take away all their ammunition Then well start them down the slope and if they coins' back shoot them They act to m^more like a gang of des; -radoes than officers.” “We’li show what we are when we come back.” raged the sheriff. “We have *wo good rifles waiting,” warned the girl. ”an< you’re the man they’|l pick.” Shy waited calmly until they were our <|f sight, then whirled to Loth. “There’s the boat we poled up the river the last forty miles.” she cried. I “The current back is swifter than we could go. even if we had horses. Then we’ll] strike straight into the woods to the old forest home. We’ll all love to gi back and you can educate the children. Don’t you understand?” at the look on his face. "Father’s dead and his position is gone, and I—l’ve changed my mind.
