    Mount, Verso:

    u.c. printed on paper label: 772-3, [crossed out] 781. SHAVANO. TABEGUACHE. \ War chief of the Tabeguaches, and the most promi- \ nent warrior among the Utes. The Arapahoes and \ Cheyennes fear and hate him; he never goes on the \ war-path but brings back a scalp of his enemies. Has \ distinguished himself often by the fierceness of his \ attack, generally going into a fight naked, and has \ been wounded several times in such encounters. In \ the council he is always for peace with the whites, \ and has used his influence to make those treaties \ whereby all difficulties were obviated. He is an elo- \ quent orator, and when speaking is often applauded \ by his people.

    c. in graphite: 568. \ Neg. No. 1555-8
