of the old European guild system The
hall was built in 1771 and three years

cars around north Tanganyika and
then again perhaps the monarch pos

Perhaps the real solution of the mat
ter is that it has been quite usual for
Watussi chiefs to be borne by their fol
lowers in this fashion and Kiegoma
considers It the height of luxury and
the last word In kingly prerogatives
If you could but know the his
before the days of its occupancy
tory of Southwestern Nebraska
by the white men we should dis
cover doubtless that it was a
field upon which many battles
were fought between native tribej
that asserted the right to hunt
along its streams The land
which is well watered hy the Re
publican and its tributaries was
a favorite haunt for game of va
rious species The first settlers
found buffalo elk deer antelope
and wild turkeys in large num
bers and for a time hunting wai
one of the chief sources of in
come to the pioneers
This country was the border
land for three great Indian na
tions The Pawnees claimed the
larger part of Nebraska their
nange south of the Platte in
cluding all of the territory now
embraced within the boundaries
of the state except the extreme
southwestern corner The Sioux
asserted ownership of all of west
ern Nebraska north of the Platte
while the Cheyennes and Arapa
hoes occupied the southwestern
pjarit of this state and what is
now northeastern Colorado but
what at one time belonged to Ne
braska Bands of these tribes
frequented this region during the
hunting seasons and the Indian
were reluctant to yield posses
sion of a country that furnished
them not only with food but
with shelter and clothing
The natives soon learned that
the farther they remained from
the settlements the freer they
would be from molestation and
the secured from pursuit and pun
ishment for depredations The ex
tension of the railway through
the Platte river vallev drove
them a Way from that stream and
many who had theretofore been
accustomed to hunt at will over
the prairies confined their rov
ings to mor restricted and rnoi
remote areas
After the war of the rebellion
when the plains states began to
fill with settlers it became neces
sary for the government to turn
its attention to the Indians The
policy of removing them to reser
vations as rapidly as the exten
sion of civilization required was
inaugurated but for a time th
task of keeping these wild me
within bounds seemed to be be
yond the power of the authori
ties and despite restrictive meas
ures of the severest sort the
plains regions were infested by
roving bands ot savages who
made frequent raids upon the de
fenseless settlers stealing horses
killing cattle murdering men car
rying women and children into
captivity
The country along the Repub
lican was because of its mild
climate and the abundance oi
game attractive to the Indians
and several bands of Sioux and
Pawnees established themselves it
the valley In 1868 when Spot
ted Tail went to the reservation
set apart for all of these bands
ership of Pawnee Killer The
Whistler Tall Bull and Little
Wound refused to go They were
joined by straggling members oi
the Cheyenne tribe which had
been driven south in the winter
of that year
Conditions became so serious
that an expedition commanded
by Major General E A Carr of
the Fifth Cavalry was organized
which in June 1869 started in
to the Republican valley to clear
M 4- 4 1 AT ml -
ins- uuuiiLry ui Lite uuliuws Xlltr
command consisted of six com
panies of regular cavalry and
two companies of Pawnee scouts
the latter under Major Frank
North The troops followed the
trail of the Indians over the sand
hills f Chase and Dundy coun
lies for several days and finally
after a pursuit on the last da
ol twenty miles made bv the sol
diers with their horses at full gal
lop overtook the savages on the
headwaters of Republican The
Indians engaged in the conflict
were Sioux and Dog soldiers
or renegades from different trib
es led by Tall Bull a Cheyenne
After a desperate battle that con
tinued for several hours the In
dians were completely routed and
defeated Fifty two of the sav
ages including Standing Bull
were killed outright Two white
women who had been captured
by the Indians some time before
on the Saline river in Kansas
and held by them as prisoners
were found by the troops among
the Indians One of these was
killed by her captors during the
progress of the battle The oth
er was rescued by the soldiers
A large amount of money was
found in the camp nearly all of
which nine hundred dollars
was given to the liberated white
woman More than one hundred
mules three hundred horses and
colts a large quantity of powder
and about five tons of dried buf
falo meat were taken The mules
and horses were distributed
among the soldiers and scouts
It was believed that this chas
tisement would have a salutary
effect but subsequent events
proved that the contrary was
true In fact it seemed to put
the Indians in an ugly frame of
mind for it was withm a few
weeks after this engagement that
marauding bands killed the mem
bers of the Buck surveying par
ty in Red Willow county and at
tacked the Daugherty party
However this seems to have been
the last stand made by the In
dians in this part of Nebraska
for while both the Sioux and the
Pawnees hunted here for three or
four years afterwards and the
Cheyennes made the famous raid
in the fall of 1878 no losses of a
serious character other than in
the latter year were suffered by
the settlers at the hands of the
