THE REAL HAIR-RAISERS.
WHY THE RED MAN DESIRES THE
TOP OP PEOPLE’S HEADS.
How Indiana Scalp Whits Men, and
White Men Indians—The Manner of
Despoiling the Conquered Dead
Diifere With Different Tribes—Story
of a Man Who Was Scalped and
Lives to Tell the Story.
From the San Francisco Examiner.
It is the fall of 1873. The Cheyennes,
dissatisfied with their plaoe in the Indian
Territory, have broken into small bands
and are breaking for their old home m the
north. Two companies of United States cav
alry are in pursuit, but the Indians out
number the soldiers, and when the troupe
get too close they turn and fight like cor
nered wildcats.
Every day the soldiers find fresh evi
dences of the ferocity of the savages they
are pursuing. Every village along their
path has bean devasted. The mutilated
bodies of men lie in the streets—four or five
in every town.
Finally the troops reach the village ot
Mennonites. There they find twenty-seven
dead men and boys, almost the entire male
population of the town. The Indians were
less merciful to the women. A fate worse
than death was theirs. Several of them are
found naked and stark mad wandering on
the prairie.
There are other marauding bands of In
dians in the country, but the work of the
Cheyenne is unmistakable.
The bodies are not scalped. This is the
Cheyennes’ way of expressing contempt for
those he kills. There is no glory in carry
ing the scalp of a man who will not fight.
One of the articles of the faith of the sect
that constitutes the population of the vil
lage is abhorrence of war and all manner
of bloodshed. There was not a firearm in
the village when the 200 Indians swept
through it.
Further on the soldiers find a wounded
horse lying on the prairie. Near him is a
cowboy’s hat; by it lie two or three empty
rifle cartridges. There was a fight here. A
hundred yards further on are more shells,
and the grass is spotted with blood.
Fifty yards further they find the body ot
a cowboy. About him are more shells—
pistol cartridges this time.
The cowboy’s long hair is gone. Here
was an adversary whom there was some
glory in killing. To the soldiers familiar
with life and death on the plains there is no
mystery about what they see on the prairie
there.
The cowboy met the Indians and rode for
his life away from them. But among all
those who pursued some must have had
horses swifter than the oowboy r ’s pony. Un
tried to keep them back with his rifle, but
the Cheyennes are not oowards. So the
unequal race was run, the Indians firing as
they pursued. They shot his horse, and ho
tried to mate a fort of the animal’s body.
Maybe he kept them off for a time—the
empty shells would indicate as much. Then
they began to circle out around him to take
him from the rear. His fort was no longer
tenable, and he ran again.
Where the second shells and the blood
stained grass were found a bullet reached
him, and he went down, still fighting. He
must have recovered enough to make one
other effort. Another shot reached him as
he sank from exhaustion, and he fought on
to the end with his six shooter.
That is why they took his soalp.
Just the hair on top of the dead cow-boy’s
head was gone. The scalping knife cut
around Just below the line of the hair on
the for-head. Then the knife circled his
head, taking in that portion of the scalp
where the hair divides behind.
That is the way they scalp a white man.
Had their victim been a Sioux or a Kiowa
they would not have taken so much. But a
white man does not distinguish his scalplock.
The scalplock consists of the axis of the
soalp. Just that spot where the hair that
you brush to the front and to the sides joins
that which you brush back toward the neck.
Nearly all the Indians take great trouble
with the scalplock. They let the hair grow
longer there than anywhere else and braid
it as caret ully as a Chinaman does his queue.
Frequently they braid strings of buckskin
or rabbit-skin in it and ornament it with
bits of glass or bright motel. Death to one
of the Indians, provided he does not lose
his scalplock, means little. He is never dis
honored while this wisp of hair is still
attached to bis skull.
In the earlier days of Indian fighting a
whole tribe would hold a dance of rejoicing
if they found their dead after a battle utt
scalped. Some of the western tribes have a
belief that account* for the consideration
with which the scalplock is regarded. It is
that the spirit of the dead Indian is lifted up
to tne happy hunting-grounds by his scalp
lock. and without this appendage he can
never reach the Indian paradise.
So these Indians will do anything to pre
vent their scalps from ornamenting the belt
or tepee of an enemy. There are numerous
instances of warriors who, finding them
selves cut off from all hopes of escaiie, have
ridden over precipices and gone down sing
iug a song of triumph; because the enemy
could not get their hair.
7 his is also the reason that the Indians
always carry off their dead and hide their
bodies where they can never be found.
The manner of scalping varies little
among different tribes. The Sioux take a
smaller piece of the scalp than most others,
but even this depends entirely on the
amount of time they have for the opera
tion.
They are not, however, as particular as
the Cheyennes and as to the character of
t- :o man from whoso head the hair comes.
Their habit is to scalp every man, woman
or child that they kill.
But the Indians are a strange people, and
no rule is invariable. For instance, when
wiped out Custer’s command the
‘Chief with yellow” hair was not touched.
They took his epaulets and belt, but that
was all, while many of the soldiers were
hacked and mutilated frightfully.
And yet Custer had been their most con
stant enemy, and had fought as long as
there was a breath iu bis body.
During the devastating march of the
Cheyennes northward a couple of Capt.
vV ood’s troopers were killed. They buried
them near where they fell. After the Indian
trouble was over the soldiers went out after
the bodies of their comrades. They found
that the Indians had dug them up and
scalped them.
The process of scalping is very simple.
The Indian simply holds the hair on the top
of the head in the left hand. Two semi
circular cuts are made, and then a good
Pull tears the scalp off.
In a Stockton street saloon a dusty hand
ful cf hair is nailed to the wall. It is the
*ealp of Kunniug Devil, a Comanche. It is
over twenty years since the little braid was
torn from the Comanche’s head by a scout,
and the scalp is shrunken and looks like
leather that has long teen exposed to the
sun.
The Apaches seldom if ever scalp. There
was a time when rewards were paid for
Apache scaips, liotb in Mexico aid Arizona,
the fashion on the American side was sim
ply to skin the head; the Mexicans, how
ever, did the work more neatly. The sim
ply cut a strip right over the middle of the
h'-ad, from side by side, anil under the ears.
I' is gave them a band of hair with the
ears attached that was ample proof that
the Indian from whoto head it came was
dead.
It must lie said, however, that even when
B <aipa were worth S2OO apiece the market
was never glutted. The people on the
fr uitier d,i not like to hunt Apache*.
1 be Indiana are usually closely pursued
"hile on their (aids, and have not much
•imu to spend in scalping. On this account
a siiiall number of people have been *; elped
“bd have lived t. tell of It.
John T. < 'uiouii'jgs, an old California
prospector, hod th.s experience. He was
prospecting close to t Oregai line when
*oe Undoes went uu the waipatb tu IN7U.
"1 didn’t ktiow that tlut Indian* were out
at ali,” said he, ”UUUI a volley the
brush killed my pa tner. One bullet tore
through my forearm. I ran for the tall
timber, but had not gone far before I felt
illvself hit again. That’s all I reniemte
untii the next morning. I felt my face ail
wet and a most peculiar feeling oa’mv head.
I was not vet c onscious enough to feel pain.
I put my hand to my bead and the touch
made me quiver all aver. I fainted again.
A party of soldiers found me, and the sur
geon did what he could for me. The wound
that knocked me was on my right breast. I
went east, and they cut an arrowhead oat
of there. For years tho pain from the scalp
ing kept me almost crazy. It is easier now,
of course, but even now the touch of a
finger to the bare scalp will make me
scream. I cannot bear tho weight of a pencil
there.”
The whole top of Mr. Curamiug’s head is
bare. The naked spot is not like ordinary
baldness. It is covered with a thin green
blue skin.
The remainder of the scalp makes a per
ceptible wall around it.
When an Indian wants a scalp bo will go
to any length to get It. Some of the older
members of the Fourth cavalry tell of a
Sioux who carried off a wounded soldier
on his saddle bow and scalped him while
the whole command was in pursuit.
Christmas Voices.
From Munsey's Weekly.
Rev. Dr. Thirdly (concluding his Christ
mas sermon)—And finally, beloved, if you
forget all else 1 have said to you this morn
ing, carry with you to your homes and
marts of trade this great lossonof tho happy
Christmas season—the lesson of lovt> and
charity to your fellow mortals. Lock ten
derly on each other’s foibles, and make al
lowances for the infirmities of your
brethren and sisters. Banish envy and
strife. Be gentle to the erring. Be forgiv
ing to those who injure you. Lend a help
ing hand to each other. Amen.
In the Choir—Tenor (leader of the an
them)—Glory to God in the highest.
Bass—Glory to God.
Alto —Glo-o-ory to God in the high-high
est.
Soprano (delicato)—ln the high-high-high
high-highest.
Tenor (forte) —Peace on earth.
Bass—Peace on earth.
Alto (andante) And—good—will—to—
men.
Soprano (ad libitum)—And good will—

Good will to men.
All (staccato) —And! good! will! to! men!
(Diminuendo.) And good will to men.
(Crescendo.) And good will to men. (Pres
tissimo.) And good will to men. (Legato.)
And good will to men. (Morendo.) Ah-h
--hrmen. Ah-mon.
In the A'sle —Mrs. Gummy (as the con
gregation begins to leave) —What a fervent
sermon our dear doctor gavo us this morn
ing.
Mrs. Gargoyle—Yes, it avas a perfect
treat. Is my hat on straight?
Mrs. Gummy—Yes; how it becomes you,
too. And what seasonable sentiments of
lovely Christmas feeling Dr. Thirdly ex
pressed. By the way, did you notice what
a fright of a cloak Mrs. Jay smith had on*
Mrs. Gargoyle—Did I? How could I
help it? She sat right in front of me, and
kept gazing around in such an uumannerly
way. I don’t believe she heard a word of
the sermons.
Mrs. Gummy—And it’s just such women
as she who ought to have listened to it care
fully, for they say she talks about her
neighbors dreadfully.
Mrs. Gargoyle—O, she’s a regular slan
derer. And she has such execrable taste in
dress.
Mrs. Gummy—No taste at all, one might
say.
Mr. Bloobumper—Did you enjoy the ser
mon, love*
Mrs. Bloobumper—Oh, it was exquisite;
but I would have enjoyed it better if I’d
had as pretty a bonnet as Mrs. Gimp’s to
wear. Mine’s a perfect fright, and so old
fashioned.
Mr. Bloobumper—l guess you didn’t
notioe what the minister said about envy.
Mrs. Bloobumper—Well, 1 don’t carol
One can’t cultivate the (Christian virtues
with only two bonnets a year.
Mr. Bloobumper—Well, if I made my
money as unscrupulously as Gimp makes
his, I could afford to let you have all the
bonnets your heart could desire.
Mrs. Bloobumper—l guess you didn’t
notici wbat the minister said about love
and charity.
Mr. Dimling—How deliciously well the
quartette sang the last anthem!
Mrs. Totling—They aid, indeed. The so
prano seemed at her very best.
Mrs. Dialling—So did the alto.
Mrs. Totling—That is quite true. Indeed,
the tenor and bass also did splendidly.
Mrs. Dimlmg—Yes; I thought while they
were singing that they threw so much
fervor into the piece.
Mrs. Totling—They seemed to feel in their
inmost souls the full significance of every
word they sang.
Mrs. Dimling—Our quartette get along so
well. There is no bickering among them, as
is too often the case with vocalists. They
are perfect ladies and gentlemen.
Mrs. Totling—lndeed, I think our church
is to be congratulated on its singers.
In the Choir Loft—Bass (helping the alto
to put on her wraps)—Y( u did superbly.
Alto —Oh, I’m so glad you think so.
Bass—l believe the soprano is jealous of
you.
Alto—l know she is, the spiteful thing!
I heard that she told Sadie Morrison I
couldn’t tell B flat from a hole in the
ground.
Bass—You never speak to her, do you?
Alto —Indeed I don’t. What do you take
me for?
Bass—That’s right! The tenor and I
never speak as we pass by, either. He’s
such a conceited puppy.
Soprano (as she helps the tenor on with
his overcoat) —What a botch the alto made
of it to-day. I was so mortified.
Tenor—She thinks she knows it all, too.
She’s just like the bass.
Soprano—lf I didn't know any more
about music than she does I’d go out as a
dishwasher. She had the gall to tell some
of my friends that I couldn’t tell one note
from another, but if she ever opens her
mouth to me I’ll scratch her face. Well,
good-by; I hope you’il have a merry
Christmas.
Teuor—Good-by! Same to you.
