771. CU-RA-CAN-TE. MUACHE.
The old war chief of his band, and in former days quite noted for
his independent raids into the country of the Cheyennes and their
allies. In the winter of 1868-'69 he organized a body of 100
warriors, and, as leader of these, was attached to the column under
Colonel Evans, operating against the Kiowas and Comanches, which
campaign ended in the surrender of these Indians. He is now quite
old and has lost much of his influence, his son Maut chick
succeeding him.

777. SURIAP. YAMPAH.
A son of Lodge Pole, a prominent chief and a warrior in his band.
Was one of a delegation to visit Washington in 1868 to make the
treaty with the Government. He has not, however, come up to the
expectations of his people, as, although a young man, he has not
distinguished himself in any way, so that he remains a simple
warrior to this day.
778. CHIPPIN. _Always Riding._
779. LITTLE SOLDIER.
780. SQUAW OF LITTLE SOLDIER.
782. LOVO. _The Wolf._
Lovo was noted among the Utes for his ability in following the trail
of man or beast, hunting, or on the war-path, and had gained the
name of being the best scout. Was frequently employed as "runner" by
the Government in carrying dispatches, and was noted for his
promptness in executing these commissions. Is a brother of the chief
Guero, and died in October, 1874, while hunting on the Republican
River.
783. RAINBOW.
784. NICK-A-A-GOD. _Green Leaf._ YAMPAH.
A chief of the Yampahs and formerly a man of considerable influence,
which he has lost, however, through several petty thieving
excursions which he has led against the whites. He has but few
followers left, and is one of the few mischievous Utes. In 1868, was
delegated to go to Washington, and while there was considered to
have equal influence with Ouray, both being in favor of the treaty
made that year. Speaks English well, has considerable intelligence,
and a good knowledge of the customs of the whites, but since his
repudiation by his tribe he has not come in contact with them much.
785. PE-AH, or _Black-Tail Deer_.
