Among tho famous leaders of the
ionx wns Little Crow, who ut tho be
ginning of the onthreuk of 18(13 wan
living in n comfortable brick lionxn near
one of tho ngeiwdefl, which hud been
erected by our government ns an induce
ment for him to help in the civilization
of his turbulent people. Ho was count
ed upon ns one of the stnuclipst friends
of tho whiten nnd indeed had lout caste
with many of bin own people because of
his rapport of their measures.
Yet on the fatal day in August when
the florco hncks ran to his house nnd
nwoke him from sleep to nk his advice
oa to what slum Id be done, Little Crow,
instead of counseling peace, told them
that, inasmuch ns tronblo must inevita
bly occur between the whites nnd his
people, it might as well begin then ns
nt nny time. Ho proposed thnt they
should go to the agency nnd kill the
traders nnd volunteered to net ns their
lender. Huving thus identified himself
with the hostiles, he became one of the
most bitter mid unrelenting of them 1L
He possessed considerable ability, nnd
lie threw himself heart nnd soul into
the fight. He wns the leader iu several
of the twwt decisive defeats received by
detachments of troops j was in command
in the attacks on New Utm, Fort Ridge
ly and the agencies, struck ninny hard
blows, and though he personally did not
wish to torture prisoners was too weak
to prevent his men from doing so.
It always takes a civilized govern
ment a considerable while to shake it
self into shape when such a crisis comes.
The civil war being then nnder way,
rnite a number of armed men were in
Minnesota because of the call of Presi
dent Lincoln for volunteers. By and by
Colonel Sibley was nblo to reach the In
dians, with the consequence that they
vere bndly beaten. Not only did the
majority surrender, bnt the leaders in
the atrocious butcheries were caught
and tried and 88 were hanged at Mnn
kato in February, 1868.
Little Crow, however, fled northward
'With a large body of warriors and took
refuge in the neighborhood of Devil's
lake, where, the following year, he re
newed his orimes and outrages. He was
so defiant thnt he notified Colonel Sib
ley where he was, adding that soon he
intended to arrive with his men at the
Yellow Medicine agency.
The authorities became so incensed
gainst the Sioux because of their atroc
ities that they organized scouts to hunt
them down and offered a reward for
every one that was killed. Such was the
state of affuirs when, on Friday after
noon, July 8, 1868, Chnnncey Lamp
ion, a boy, and his father, were walk
ing along the road several miles north
of Hutchinson, one of the towns that
hud suffered severely from the massacre.
Each had a gun over his shoulder, and
they were walking side by sido, talking
in low tones, when tho son suddenly
touched the arm of his father and point
ed to a little clearing, opening into the
woods ahead. The two halted at sight
of a couple of Indians picking berries.
Their backs were toward the whites,
who softly stepped behind the trees and
bold a whispered consultation as to
what was best to da
There was no doubt that the Indians
were hostiles, and had they seen the
others firnt wonld have shot them. Mr.
.Lanipson and bis boy decided to antici
pate them. Taking advantage of the
shelter afforded by a poplar surrounded
with undergrowth, the father crept near
enough to secure a good aim, when he
fired at one of the Indians. The savage
threw up his arms with a yell and fell
to the ground badly wWudod. Not
knowing how many Indians might be
near, Mr. Lampsou began a cautious re
treat, but was obliged to expose himself
iln doing so. The wounded Indian had
partly risen and aimed at him. At the
ame instant Channoey, the son, drew
A bead ou the wonnded savage, while
the nuwounded one leveled his gun at
the boy. Rather singularly, all three
fired at the same moment
Mr. Lanipson received a flesh wound
in the shoulder, the ball of the unharm
ed warriur grazed the boy's cheek, while
the missile of the youth instantly killed
the wounded Indian. Then, fearing a
charge from a war party, Cliauucey
dashed off for help. As it grew dark the
father started for home by a circuitous
route and safely reached there after
midnight The body of the sluiu Indiun
was curried to Hutchinson, where, to
tho HHtonisliment and relief of all, it
was identified as that of the famous
chief Little Crow. Detroit Free Press.

Although swallows are such wonder
fully quick sighted blrds.nnd eon change
the direction of their flight with nmna
ing rapidity and ease, it occasionally
happens thnt thoy either do not perceive
the danger lying in their path or are not
quick enough to avert it, for I have once
or twico, while fly fishing for trout, ao
oldentally knocked down and stunned a
swallow. Hevernl instances have also
been recorded of the poor bird being
struck nnd killed by golf balls, nnd in
one case nt least even by n cricket ball.'
Petrels nnd other sen birds hnve been
known to collide while iu midair nnd
drop into passing boats. Wild ducks ore
occasionally picked up on board ships
that have been lying nt anchor all night
in somo of onr lnrge rivers and estuaries.
They stiiko the rigging or funnels dur

The transfer of Kosciusko's benrt to

Sir Robert Pecklmm died out of Eng

buried until 1560. The heart of John
Baliol wns embnlmed by his widow's

enameled with silver. And she, the lov

her table every day at mealtime and
ordered it put on her own heart when
she was borne to the tomb. Then there

more to invite investigation; makes rather ptrong
claims sometimes, but never one it can't substantiate.
We claim this store does the dry goods business.
The character of its goods nnd the prices will save
you money, no matter who you are or where you
come from, at least the throng of customers from a
distance warrants this assertion.
