As there were no dogs in camp, I in
quired of Rowland how it happened
that Iron Shirt was so fortunate in se
curing one. Rowland questioned that
brave on the subject, and I learned that
a party of English tourists bad paid a
visit to the camp a few days previous,
out of curiosity, uud that the dog was
thejfs. From the moment the doomed
canine entered tho Indian village Iron
Shirt had kept his covetous eyes glned
upon the animal ctotii, watching his
chance, he secured the prize and spir
ited it out of sight untj the Englishmen
had taken their departure. The dog
was a Gordon setter and had been
brought along by the tourists for hunt
ing purposes. Iron Shirt did not con
sider his action in the case wrong or
improper, as stealing is looked upon as
a virtue rather than a crime by all red
men. and that is why the Cheyennes
happened to have a dog for supjxjr on
this particular evening. —Fort Keogh
