Of course, I say this with great pain, and rather between ourselves, as it were; for heaven forbid, that a single syllable should escape either my tongue or pen, that might injure that gentleman's character. The path of duty, however, is often a stern one, as I find it to be on the present occasion. The truth, then, is, that I fear Mr.
"Hadn't you better drink some water?" I said next, as I saw him pass his dry tongue over his parched lips. "Please," he said feebly; and, as I took the glass of water, passed my arm under his head to hold him up and let him drink, I said to myself "You cowardly, treacherous brute! the bullet ought to have killed you, or we should have let you drown."
Faith, the heart of me is Amerikin, if I'm a bog throtter by the tongue. Mind that now, me bould man!" Harry heard without heeding as the horses spattered on.
It was much to the credit of the discipline of the army that no bloodshed followed the fight proper. The loss to the whites was small. The other incident, related by Lieutenant Pitcher, took place in 1890, near Tongue River, in northern Wyoming. The command with which he was serving was camped near the Cheyenne Reservation.
