discovered  signs  of  bare  foot  Indians  making
their  way  towards  the  agency;  the  tracks  were
followed  and  finally  led  to  Roman  and  his  fel-
low fugitives.  When  the  police  found  them  they
were  in  a pitiable  condition,  naked,  barefoot  and
emaciated  with  hunger,  and  Roman  supposing
he  was  to  be  sent  back  to  Fort  Riley,  begged
Captain  Brannigan  to  shoot  him.  Roman  was
taken  to  the  agency,  kindly  cared  for,  and  when
his  case  had  been  represented  to  the  new  agent
he  was  restored  to  his  family  and  friends.
