THE TURTLE’S DEFENSE.
Coyote Helpless Against Snappsr,
Whose Eggs It Devoured.
In 1850 a war party of Cheyennes
had started out on foot to take
horses and had got as far sduth as
Black Butte creek—perhaps Big
creek of the whites —which runs
into the Smoky Hill river from the
north, near where Fort Larited
afterward stood.
They had come to the banks of
this stream and were sitting there
resting, some of them drinking wa
ter, otJiers lying down in the grass
and sleeping. As they sat there,
says Forest and Stream, one of the
men saw coining over the prairie a
coyote, slowly trotting toward the
stream. It acted as if it smelled
something.
Now, it is the law that when peo
ple are on the warpath they must
not kill or injure either wolf or
coyote. So no one thought of harm
ing the animal, and the men sat
there and looked at it, and one said
to the other: “Sit still, now. I)o
not frighten it. Let us see what it
will do.”
The coyote trotted along slowly
until it had come To a sand bank at
the edge of the water, and there,
after smelling about a little, it be
gan to dig and presently had partly
uncovered the eggs of a snapping
turtle and was beginning to eat
them. But close by, lying on the
sand, was a big snapping turtle, the
mother that had laid these eggs.
She s3w the coyote and commenced
slowly to walk toward him. The
coyote had his head down in the
hole, busily devouring the eggs and
saw and beard nothing, and in a
moment or two the turtle was close
to it and, darting out its long
neck, seized him by the cheek and
the ear, closing her jaws on him
with a grip that nothing could loos- :
on. The coyote yelled dismally and j
tried to pull away, but could not. j
The turtle was big and strong, and !
she began to hack slowly toward the !
stream. The coyote, howling with '
pain, pulled back as hard as he could
and struggled desperately, trying to
shake himself free. But the turtle
held on and* marched steadily back- ;
ward until she got into the water j
and dragged the miserable coyote
after her. Gradually the water got
deeper and deeper, until it had
reached the coyote’s body, and then
presently its head disappeared, and
the last the Indians saw of him Was
his tail and his hind legs waving in
the air.
For some time the Indians sat
there looking at the water and talk
ing over what had happened, and at
length they saw the body of the
coyote rise to the surface and float
away down the stream.
So the old turtle protected her
