THEY ENCOUNTER THE KIOWAS, Trouble in Texas—An Escalapian War- rior—Feculiar Style of Exhibiting Joy of the Women—A Surprise and Stampede. Horrors of Indian Warfare. For the Bee. At one time the Tonkawa tribe of In- dinns were all-powerful in the territor) now known Texas, and the Indian territory. They were regarded as being the strongest (with the exception of the Comanches) of the southwestern tribes. They claim their origin from the wolf and in most of their dances each warrior is clad in a wolf skin and has a wolf's head as a mask, In their warfare with the Cheyennes, Arapahocs, Comanches and Kiowas they showed no mercy and often ate their victims after a successful battle. This tribe is the ounly one known in history, it is belicved, who resorted to cannibalism and for this so great was the enemity against them that when the Indian territory was adapted as a home for the different tribes, the Tonkawas were permitted to remain in Texas for a time. They were final however, taken there and given a vil- lage not far from the present site of Fortsill, Their advent created great excitement amongst the different tribes. Rumors were sent from village to vil- lage, and a strong coalition formed against them by the Kiowas, Com- manches and Cheyennes, and trouble was feared by those in authority. All remained quict, however, for a week or two; until suddenly, and with- out warning, at midnight, the entire force of the three above named tribes pounced down upon the Tonkawas camp and killed the eatire community with the exception of about one hundred and fifty warriors, who managed to cut their way through the lines and escape to Texas. Neither man, woman or child was foe.

When the red blankets of the K s were discovered spread upon the squite bushes a mile ahead, indicat- g that they had gone 1nto camp oncil of war was held. The do sked the sub-chief of the Tonk: was if hismen would fight; that though the Kiowas outnumbered them, they had tho advantage of a surprise, ete. for n tor After a consultation between Chief MeCord and his warriors, it was flually decided that a fight should be made, MeCord stipulating, however, that he should have the dirvection of it, to which the doctor readily agreed. The Iudians immediately dismounted, painted their faces o blood-red, took the covers off their shields and allowed the long plumes to wave in the wind. Some oven went so far as to paint their war ponie: When all was ready, by direction of the chief six warriors were detailed to steal up as close as possible to the ea of the Kiowas and then dash down by yells and the shaking of blankets stampede their herd of horses, and thus leave them afoot. These instruce were executed to the letter. Without asound the warriors rode down until they we within about fifty yards of the heérd. then shouting their war-cry, s their blankets and fiving their guns they succeeded in driving off the herd The threc soldiers and the remainder of the scouts immediately charged the camp, firing volley after” volley, which the Kiowas returned with such deter- mination that the order was passed to dismount. Several ot the Kio were killed and some wounded by the first fire, and the remainder took refuge in aemall ravine back of them, witis the exception of their chief, ap- parently a young man, who shook his rifle in the'air and standing alone, com- menced o most savage abuse of the Tonkawa squaw He was finally shot down. Things were growing ecritical for Uncle Sam’s men about this time. The enemy was under cover, and they were under flre, and they could neither ad- vance nor retreat.

Finally the six Tonk: who had driven off the herd returned and opened arear fire on the enemy, which put what remained of them to fight. There were fifteen bodies found dead, and the indications were that several others were wounded and carried off. The scene that followed this victory W horrible.
