Indian mounted on a white noro
that had been striped with blue

them ' for a warning of battle.
Consequently tliy were relieved
to learn that the redman came
with? a inesxage for Mr. Mitchell'

clined the call when his young
wife, declared she would not go
to Walla Walln.
"No one knows wlat those In
diana are going to do," she told
him. "Any minute we might be
klllud. And besides, we have
young daughters to think of."
