NDIAN ARROW HEAD RECALLS AGE OF RED MEN. THE BATTLE OF BATTLE CREEK Almost Fifty Years Ago the Last En counter With the Red Man of the Stone Age and the Man of the Pres ent Time , Took Place Near Here. While idly sauntering along the.Hat- tie Crook race track the other day awaiting the horses to bo brought out for their workout , 1 picked up an In dian arrow bend of obsidian which led mo to speculate upon Its origin and history. The rock from which It had been chipped was probably a glacial fragment detached from a ledge In the Yellowstone region or British Colum bia and left upon the prairies of No- hrnxlm. When was that arrow shot from an Indian's bow ? Fifty or fifty- thousand years ago ? What associa tions are linked literally In adamant with that stone ! I looked out over the cultivated fields , at the roofs and spires of Battle Crook everywhere evidences of a modern civilization a country that to all appearances might have been set tled and cultivated for centuries and yet In rny hand I hold a relic of the stone ngo of a people who occupied the country and who belonged to that ago so remote seemingly. And yet right on thin spot loss than fifty years ngo occurred the last conflict In Ne braska botwi'on the men of the atone ago and tlioso of the ago of stool , and perchance this very arrow head was launched In liato that day by a ynumr buck who may yet bo living down in tlio Indian Territory. What a won derful traiiRltlon from the days of tbo stone ago has transpired around Bat tle Crook. From the spot upon which I picked up thnt arrow head I could see the ' cottage in which Grandma Barnes lives who had lived among the Indians here long before there were any white settlors. Yonder , too , Hvos S. II. Thatch who lias soon all these changpR take place. I thought also of my neighbor C. F. Elseloy who par ticipated In that skirmish. Wo call It a skirmish.
