Were there not two days there on the Mini Pusa the 2d and 3d of July when little parties of Indians were chased towards as well as from the White River? Wayne's orders were to scout the valley and report whether Indians were venturing out that way. Before he had been two days away from the regiment he found trail after trail of war-parties crossing the valley northward.
He has been hauling cartridges all spring." And now, here is the advance-guard of the th again far up on the Mini Pusa, just arrived, and that slender column of smoke rising from among the cottonwoods tells of a tiny fire where the men are boiling their coffee, while, miles away to the southwest, the rising dust-clouds proclaim the coming of the regiment itself.
Here behind us rolls another sandy stream, dry as its Dakota name implies, Mini Pusa: Dry Water, and to our right and rear is their sandy confluence.
We are camping to-night at the Cardinal's Chair up on the Niobrara, and march northward to-morrow by way of Old Woman Fork to the Mini Pusa.

"Possibly this Beonna is the same who was made Bishop of Hereford in 823, and died in 830." =Ceolred= succeeded, and in the year 852 signs a grant of land as Abbot.
If a name has been approved, the image, together with the knife used in killing the pig or chicken, is wrapped up in the small mat; the bundle, which, as well as the ceremony, is called PUSA, is thrust behind the rafters of the gallery opposite the door of the child's room, to remain there as a memento of the naming.
