It ia only neeemary to add that
Meek and Crow arrived aafelj at
camp; and that the Shaneescame
in after a day or two all right.
Soon after the whole command
n.ider Briditer moved on to the
Yellowntono, and went into winter
camp in the great hend of that
river, where hufTtlo were plenty,
and cotton-wood waa in abundance.
1835. Towards "Brine, however.
the game had nearly all disappear
ed from the neighborhood of the
camp ; ai.d the hunters were forced
to follow the buffalo in their mi
gration eaatward. On one of these
expeditions a parly of six trappers,
inoluding Meek, and a man named
Ror-e, mado their camp on Clarke's
fork of the Yellowatsoe. The firat
night la camp Rose had a dream
with which he waa vary much im
presaed. He' dreamed ofahakiog
hands with a large whits bear,
which insieted on taking hia right
band for that friendly ceremony,
lie had not given it very willingly,
for he knew too much about bear I
in general to deaire to be on Vtry
intimate terror with them.
Seeing that the dream troubled
Roae, who was euperstiliously io-
dined, Meek resorted to that "cer
tain medieine for minds diaeaaed"
whioh was in use in the mountains.
aet! added to the distress of Rose
his interpretation, in the rpirit ol
ridicule, telling bio that he was
an sdept in the matter of dreama,
and that unless be, Rose, waa very
mindful of himself that day, he
would shake bands with Beeltebub
before he slept again.
With this comforting assurance.
Rote set out with the remainder of
hie mule, he threw his blankets
down on the ice, and by moving
them alternately soon crossed the
mule over to the opposite side,
jmt in time to avoid a bullet that
came whiatling after him. As the
Indians could not follow, he pur-
sujd his way to camp in safety,
arriving late that evening. The
main party were already in and
expecting him. Soon after, the
buffalo hunters returned to the big
camp, minus some pack boraes,
but with a good story to tell, at tho
expense of Meek, and which he en
joys telling of himself to this day.
CHAPTER XII.
1835. Owing to the high rate of
pay which Meek waa aow able lo
command, he began to think of
imitating the example of that dis
tinguished ordir, the free trappers,
to which he now belonged, and set
ting op a lodge to himaelf as a fam
ily man. The writer of this verac
ious history has nsver been able to
obtain a full and particular ac
count of our hero's earliest love ad
ventures. This is a subject on
which, in common with most
mountain-men, he observes a be
coming reticence. But of one
thing we feel quite wall assured ;
that from the time when the young
shosheme beauty assisted in the
rescue of himself and Sublette
from the execution of the death
sentence at the hands of her peo
people, Meek had always cherish
ed a rather more than friendly re
gard for the "Mountain Lamb."
But Sublette, with wealth and
power, and the privileges of a
Booshway, had hastened to secure

the party to huut buffalo. They her for himself ; and Meek had to
kad proceeded about three miles
from camp, Rose riding in advance,
when they suddenly encountered a
company of Blackfeet, nine in
auinber, spick from a war party ef
one hundred and fifty, that was
prowling and marauding through
ths country on the lookout for
small parlies from the camp of
Bridger. The Blackfeet fired on
the party sa it came up, from their
place of concealment, a ball strik
ing Rose's right arm, and break
ing it at the elbow. This caused
hia gun to fall, and an Indian
sprang forward and raised it up
quickly, aiming it at Meek. The
hall paased through bis cap with
out doing any harm. By thia
time the trappers were niade aware
of an ambuieade ; but how numer
ous the enemy was they ceuld not
determine. However, as the rest,
who were well mounted, turned to
tly, Meek, who was riding sn old
mule that had to be beaten over the
bead to make it go, sseiag that he
wai going to be left behind, called
out lustily, ''hold on, boya I Tliere'a
not many of them. Let's stop and
fiaht 'em;" at the same time
pounding the mule over ths bead,
bat without effect. The Iudiane
aaw the predicament, and ran up
to eeixe tbs mule by the bridle,
hut the moment the mule got wind
of the savflges, an ay be went,
racing like a thoroughbred, jump
ing impediments, sad running
right over a ravine, which waa
fortunately filled with snow. Thia
movement brought Meek out ahead.
The ether men than began to
call out to Mask to stop and fight.
"Run for your lives, boya," roared
Meek back at them, "there's ten
thousand of them : they'll kill
every one of you 1"
Tho mule had got hia head, and
there was no more stopping him
thaa titers had been starting him.
On ha went iH the direction of the
Yellowstone, while the others made
for Clarke'i Fork. On arriving at
the former river, Mtek found that
some of the peck horses hnd fol
lowed him, and others the rest of
the paity. This had divided the
Indians, llireo or four of whom
weie on hia trail. Springing off
look and long from afar ofT, until,
in the year of which ws are n riling,
Milton Sublette was forcsd to leave
the mountains and repair to an
eastern oity for surgical aid ; hav
ing received a very troublesome
wound iu the leg, which was only
cured at lact by amputation.
Whether it was the act of a gsy
Lothario, or whether thelawofdi
vorce is even more easy in the
mountains than in Indiana, we
have always judiciously refrained
from inquiriug; but this we do
know, upon tho word of Meek rv ni
sei f, no sooner waa Milton's back
turned, than his friend so insinu
ated himself into the good graces
of his Isabel, aa Sublette was wont
to rjame the lovely Uoientucken,
that she consented to join her
fortunes to those of the handeome
young trapper without even the
ceremony of serving a notice on
her former lord. As their sesson
of bliss only extended over one
brief year, this chapter '(nail be
entirely devoted to recording such
facta as hare been imparted to us
concerning this free trapper'a wife.
dian woman I ever iaw,"-'sYl
Meek ; "and when she was mount
ed on her dapplo gray horse, which
coat me three hundred dollars,
she made a fine show. She wore a
skirt of beautiful blue broadcloth,
and a bodice and leggins of rcarlet
cloth, of ths very fineft make.
Her hair was braided and fell over
her shoulders, a scarlet silk bander
chief, tied on hood fashion, cover
ed her head; and the finest em
broidered moccasins her feet. 8he
rode like all the Indian women,
astride, and carried on one side of
the saddle the tomahawk for war,
and on tho other the pipe of peace.
"The name of her horce was "All
Fours." Ilia accoutrements were
as fine as his rider's. The saddle,
crupper, and bust girths cost one
hundred and fifty dollars; the
bridlo fifty dollars ; and the mutk-a-moota
fifty dollars more. All
these articles were ornamented
with fine cut glass beads, porcu
pine quills, and hawk's belle, that
tinkled at every step. Her blank
et) were of scarlet and blue, and of
the finest quality. Such was the
outfit of the trapper'a wii'e, Uroen
tucken, Tukutey Undenwatsy, the
Lamb of the Mountains."
Although Umcntucken was
beautiful, and had a name signify
ing pentlenno, she was not with
out a will and a spirit cf her own,
when the occasion demanded it.
While the camp was on the Yel
lowstone River, in the summer of
1835, a party of women left it to go
in search cf berries, which were
often dried and stored for winter
use by the Indian women. Umen
tacken accompanied this party,
which was attacked by a band of
Blackfeet, some of the squaws be
ing taken prisoners. Cut Umen
tucken taved herself by flight, and
by ewiming Ihe Yellowstone while
a hundred guns were leveled on
her, the bullets whistling about her
ears.
At anolhor time ahe distinguish
ed herself in camp by a quarrel
with one of the trappers, in which
ahe came off with flying colors.
The trapper waa a big, bullying
Irishman named OTailen, who
bad purchased two prisoners from
the Snake Indiaas, to be kept in a
state of slavery, after the manner
of the savaees. The prisoners
were Utes, or Utahs, who soon con
trived to escape O'Fallen, imagin
ing that Umentucken had liberat
ed them, threatened to whip her,
and armed himself with a horse
whip for that purpose. On hear
ing of these threats Umentucken
repaired to her lodge, and also
armed herself, but with a pistol.
When O'Fallen approached, the
whole camp looking on to see the
event, Umentucked slipped out at
the back of the lode and coming

his life spared. .This Umentucken
consented to do on condition of bis

''hurrah for the Mountain Lamb!"

especially in an unlooktd for

The Indian wives of the trappers
were often in great peril, as well as
their lords. Whenever it waa csn
venient they followed them on
their long marches througs danger
ous countries. But if the trapper
was only going out for a few days,
or it the marcn before film was
more than usually dangerous, the
wife remained with the main camp.
During this year of which we are
writing, a considerable party bad
been out on Powder River hunting,
buffalo, t&king their wives along
with them. Whenonlhe return,
just before reaching camp, Umen
tucken was missed from the caval
cade. She bad fallen behind, and
been taken prisoner by a party of
twelve Crow. Indians. As soon as
she was missed, a volunteer parly
mounted their buffalo boreet in
such haste that they waited not
for saddle or bridle, but snatched
only a halter, ahe! started back iu
pursuit. They had not run a vry
long distance when they discover"
ed poor Umentucken in the midst .
of her jubilant captors, who were
delighting their eyes with gazing
at her fine feathers, and pron.iiiug
themselves very soon to pluck the
gay bird, and appropriate "her
trinkets to their own use.
Their delight was premature.
Swift on their hcela came an aveng
ing, as well as a saving spirit.
Meek, at the head of his six com
rades, rio sooner espied the droop
ing form of the Lamb, than he
urged his horse to the top of its
speed. The horse was a spirited
creature, that seeing something
wrong in all these - hasty ma
neuvers, took fright and adding
terror to good , will, ran with the
speed of madness right in anaengit
the startled Orows, wto doubtless
regarded as a great "medicine" to
ft'Arloss a warrior. It was now too
late to be prudent, -A and Meek be
gan the batlo by yelling and fir
ing, taking care to hit his Indian.
