OF THE PAWNEES"
Only once in history did Indians
acceed In wrecking one of the "white
Bum's Iron horses," and this occurred:
In 18U7 when a baud of Cheyennes
ditched a freight train on the Union
Pacific near l'lum Creek, Neb. A
ftrange scene followed. Among the
loot which the savages took from
the wrecked cars were hundreds of
bolts of calico. In a sportive mood,
the young warriors tied the ends of
the calico to their poines' tails. Then
tl.ey went careening over the prairie,
the long waves of many-colored cloth
billowing, and Hunting behind them.
While the Cheyennes were still en
joying this sport, from the surround
ing hills dashed a band' of mounted
Indians led by a white man of sol
dierly hearing. When' the Cheyennes
saw hlni charging down upon them,
they tied In every direction, crying
"The White Chief of the Pawnee 1
The White Chief of the I'liwriee!"
Mu j. Frank North was the "White
Chief of the l'awnees." He had lived
among them and they loved him. They
adopted him Into the tribe, calling him
I'nwnee Ln Sharo. This meant "great
chief of the Pawnees" and chief even
of the Pawnee chiefs. No other
Pawnee and only one white man, Gen.
.lohii C. Ftemont, ever held that title.
Major North enlisted his first Pawnee
scouts In 1SU4. and in every war on
the plains thereafter they did valiant
service.
The scouts were Issued regulation
blue uniforms, but they bad their own
Ideas about bow to wear them. A full
dress parade was an amusing tight
Pome wore only the trousers and wer
bareheaded; others wore the big black
hat, but had a breech cloth In plac
of trousers; and others cut out the
seat of the pantaloons, leaving onlj
leggings. All wore spurs, whethel
they had on boots, moccasins or wer
barefoot. Put they were good fight
erg for all of that.
They were with General Carr at th
Battle of Summit Springs, Colo., In
lSiW. and here Major North killed th
Sioux chief Tall Dull, although BuffaU
Bill Is sometimes credited with that
feat
During his scout career Major North
became a Clowe friend of Buffalo BUI,
and when he disbanded hit scouts
Cody and North went Into the cattll
business to Nebraska together, an
wtrt partners for many years.
