man not far from Joe's, own age, I
named Robert Newel), from Ohio.
1 'ne morning when the company

t-.'o young men were out looking
f.-r their n.uiis, when they encoun-
tvrtu an ehier.y woman returning I
f'cni the n.ilkin. yard with a gourd I

was given somen hat sharply. And
so the ,..'.i: g men felt it to he; but
it was not in the nature uf either o;

because there was danger in it.
The thought of home and some

I Happily on this occ.isimi ihv
d.ltiil p.rovtd to lie more peaca. iv
dispo-eil than th-ir appearance in-
lieated, being the warriors of siv
era! tribes the Sioux, Arapahoes, ,
Kiowas and Cheyenne, who had f
oeen holding a council to consider
probably w hat miseliief they could
j lo to some other tubes. The spec
tacle they pnsented a thev came
at full sp d 01 horseh.i -k, armed,
painted, brandishing their weapons
ind yelling in first rate Indian
V.yle, was one which might well
trike with a paUy the stoutest
heart and arm. What were a hand
of sixty men against 11 thousand
armed warriors in !u,l lighting

oattle axes and not a few guns'.'
Hut it is the rule of th ; rant.it-ain-nv.-n
to tight and that there is
a chance fir life until the breath i
lUtof the body; therefore Captain
Sublette h id his little firoe draw
up in a line of battle. a came

' When you hear my shot then fire."
S .ill th -y cam? on, until within
about fifty-pac-'s of the line uf wait

oead, and saw his command with
tln-ir gu is all up to their faces
ready t ti.-e, then raised owui
gun. Jt.P". at this u.onient the
printlpil chi-f sprang off his bor.

character of these tribes and their
superior numbers, it was as narrow
r,.n. i,n tl, ,. re, rl of I to. '
pany uu it was an exceptional freak ,
if generosity on the part of the'
savages to allow it. Hut Indians
have tUl a great respect for a man I
who shows no fear; and it was i
most probably the warlik
move- i
ment of Captain Sublette and his
parly which inspired a willingness
on the part of thi chief to accept a
present w hen Ii3 had the amer t
hive taken the wholu train, lie-
sides, according to Indian logic, then
present cost him nothing, and it
might cost him many warriors to
capture tho train. Had there heen
the least wavering on .Sublette's j
pait, or fear in the countenances of -
His men, the end of the affair,
would have been different. This J
