All of these returning redskins were dressed in eastern style. At Lewiston, a company of well-mounted soldiers met and escorted them to the reservation. I stood on the porch of the Raymond Hotel and saw the Indians file by. Among others, there passed an old savage, "Scar-faced Charley," who, fearing that he might be shot, and wishing to conceal his identity, had tied a handkerchief over his face. There was quite a feeling of bitterness displayed. I heard one man on the street call out, "Ben, where is your gun?"
