Story of tfee Lobs «a4 Bitter SnMlty Between Crmay Wolf and Little Scar. The Incldeat That Pared the Way to Peace. 4 ' I Crasy Wolf was a waiAoi. of tho Sioux uatioa who held to all the sav age traditions of his race. For years be refused to receive rations from the bands of the whites, and this marked him singular among all the Sioux. His deadly enemy was Little Scar, who had made lasting peace in his heart with the wlfltes and who had yielded little by little to the allurements of civilized living. ’ The enmity of Crazy Wolf and Little 8cnr dated from the day of the great battle with the Pawnees. When the remnant of ths stricken Pawnees had turned to tly Crazy Wolf and Little Scar quarreled over the right to take u scalp, and a hand-to- hand combat ensued. The chiefs part ed them and said that neither must die, for the nation had need of all its men. Though the hands of Crazy (Wolf and Little Scar were stayed by the chieftains, hatred still lived la Itheir hearts. It was ten years afterThe battle with the Pawnees and at the Pine Uldg* agency, wnere a portion of the Sioux had been gathered, the government erected a echoolhouse for the Indian children. Instantly a division occur red between the fathers of the tribe. One-half of the warriors wished to send their little ones to the school. The other half declared that the teaching of the whites should never have place In the minds of their children. The children of Little Scar went to the •chool. The children of Crazy Wolf were kept In the wigwam. Runners came to Pine Ridge from Standing Rock and the Rosebud. They told of the coming of the Messiah, that the/tftltfalo were returning and that if the southern Sioux would but put their ears to the ground they would hear the thunder of the hoofs of the oncoming herd. / One-half of the warriors at Pine Ridge were seized with the Messiah craze. They danced the ghost dance and put on the ghost shirts. The one- half stampeded from the agency, and with It went Crazy Wolf, as savage in heart as he was when he fought the Pawnees on the frontier of Nebraska. Little Scar stayed at the agency. One day after the battle of Wounded Knee had been Tought a baud of twen ty Sioux braves broke away from the main body for the sole purpose of raid ing Pine Ridge agency and killing the children who were gathered’ in ths schoolbouse—the children of their broth ers who had succumbed to the white man's way*. In the baud was Crazy Wolf, his heart full of the lust of kill ing. The warriors came within sight of the schoolbouse. It stood ou a bluff and on one side was absolutely unpro tected. Crazy Wolf knew the location of the room in which the lltfle ones gathered daily at their lessons. The mounted warriors made a headlong rush down the valley skirting the ridge, and as they whirled by the school they poured volley after volley Into the room where the children of the friendly Sioux daily were assembled. M was not the fault of Crazy Wolf that on that day there was not a slaughter of the innocents. A teacher had seen the feathered heads showing among the willows by White Clay creek and, taking the alarm, had hur ried the children to the cellar. The raiding band went northward. There was cavalry at the post to take up the pursuit, and the fugitives suc ceeded Ip reaching the main body of Indians, who by* tills time were sur rounded by the troops of General Miles and were being gradually forced Into the agency. v Crazy Wolf, when he saw the sur render of his brethren was coming, mounted his pony and made for the Bad Lands. He foresaw the end of the uprising and the complete subjugation of his people, and he laid it at the doors of the tepees of the Sioux who had re fused to join the braves on the war path. Crazy Wolf made up his mind to kill Little Scar. He nearly starved In the Bad Lands, and his pony was dead. A week after the surrender he started for the agency on foot. His ammunition was gone, and he had nothing but hla knife. lie ate Willow bark and roots. Hunger took his bodily strength, but bis heart purpose was unweakeued. Crazy Wolf, starving, lay on the bank of the White Clay creek. The tepee of Little Scar was only 300 yards away. Crazy Wolf was famished, but he lay there in the bushes waiting for night nud vengeance. He looked down to the water's edge, and there he saw a little girl with a willow basket full of food. The little one looked up aud saw the famished eyes of the warrior. She smiled at him and held out her basket. \ Crazy Wolf knew his strength was go ing fast. It might not last him till the hour of revenge. He ate the proffered food. The child was molding clay. Suddenly she turned snd offered Crazy Wolf the model of a peace pipe. “Too have eaten,” she said; “now smoke.” Crazy Wolf took the pipe and blew an imaginary cloud of smoke away from his lips. The little one smiled st him again. “Whose child sre you?” asked Crasy Wolf. “The child of the great warrior Little Scar." was the answer.
