When you see a private shoot an old native for not blacking his boots, when the poor fellow was trying to understand him and couldn't, and smiling as best he could, it's rather tough; and I've seen twenty babies if I've seen one lying in the streets with a bayonet hole in them. They have executions every day in one camp or another.
The other, seeing the danger of his comrade, sprang from his horse and attempted to shoot the animal through the head.

"I go shoot at the camp-meeting at Stamford," replied the Indian. "And here are five more," said the girl, "all aiming at the camp- meeting too.
