INDIAN WAR AND OMAHA DANCE
Last Monday several hundred Sioux
Indians came down from the reserva
tion north of town There were more
of them than had at any previons time
been here and as the loug train of wag
ons and riders appeared it was thought
by several of our townspeople that
they were here for mischief making
A large number of women living in
town were very much alarmed Two
fainted from fright as the news spread
and a demonstration was made by the
redskins to tsike the town nearly a
hundred of them riding up Main street
in a gallop War paiht and feathers
bedecked them in a hideous manner
and with the wild Indian war whoop
swinging their guns revolvers hat
chets and war clubs being re inforced
by Indians riding in simultaneously
from all the side streets and alleys un
til there was an anxious look on many
a pale face
Indians swarmed our streets and it
is thought that there were more Ind
ians in town than white people Fi
nally a small band of Indians came
riding in a more quiet manner carry
ing the U S flag but the hideous
shrieks yells and war whoops con
tinuing were never more fully por ray
ed in language than was heard upon
this occasion by our citizens striking
terror to many a faint heart and re
calling all the vague pictures of the his
torical Indian wars and massacres in
the early dajs It was indeed a grand
spectacle of what has happened in days
gone by and some of our people
who remember circumstances
attended by more serious consequences
than this splendid demonstration
could not help but revert their mem
ories to the times when solemn real
ity compelled the pale faces to hide
away be carried along with the band of
warriors or be scalped with the scalp
ing knife
In the evening a dance was held on
Main street and many of our citizens
contributed money and provisions for
their comfort which was divided care
fully under the supervision of two noted
chiefs Two Strike and Turning Bear
During the night everything was
peaceful aud quiet around their camps
and next morning about half past
eight oclock a war dance was commen
ced in which a sham battle was one of
the features Some of our oldest citiz
ens say that it was the biggest Indian
day that Valentine had ever known
and never before had they seen such
hideous war painted faces and quaint
Indian garb Some of our prominent
men estimated that from 1200 to 1500
Indians were here and of all sizes from
the brawny buck and squaw to the in
fant babes carried in a shawl or blank
et on the b ick of a squaw There
were also many old gray haired Indians
7O or 80 years of age who took part in
the dance In the afternoon a large
number weut down to Fort Niobrara
and there entertained the handful oi
TJ S soldiers which would only have
been a small job if scalping had been
their mission Two heaves were do
nated to the Indians whicn made them
a suitable breakfast but the many
mouths to feed made shares in the beef
small
Hundreds of Indians camped in the
outskirts of town last night and the
war ivhoop like distant coyote yelps
marie the night air hideous to one less
familiar with Indian ways
upon this demonstration in a
Looking
light
hearted mannerit is a grand review
and picttr esqne of the native Amer
icans A sight that none who witness
ed will eer forget
