V Unusually tall and well proportion ed, even for an Indian, and nossess- ing a voice, which commanded , sttenj tion and obedience although it knew . no wora or Jijftgiisn, iron Lightening, was a natural leader of men. Ir. the eatfly part of this century, following the Ute . Indian Uprising, when the Utes had been rounded up and sent to the Cheyenne reservation it was Iron Lightening who went anong the?n urging them to forget their grievance with the whites and . settle down to peaceful lives.

' "If the Commissioner has lived with one woman," the chief replie-I in In- Indian, "he will know how impossible it is for Iron Lightening ,to renante himself from two. Iron Lightening laughs."
