The men refused to commit the crime
Of incendiarism upon their own property
and they were marched of in a bod,
about fifty yards from camp and held BY
strong guard, and the soldiers were
permitted, under the pretext Of search
ing for arms, to pillage all the >privatt
baggage in tho train, and appropriate il
to their own use. After they had sur.
veyed everything, and taken everything
deemed valuable. including money, the
cumbersome articles were piled together
and burned to the ground. Many Of the
men had all they had of this world s
goods in the etrain-mementoes from home
and pictures of the dear ones they had
left behind them-a cowardly and brutal
act that has not its equal in American
history.
Some of the men were not up and
others were ready to eat breakfast, and
without showing the least regard for thei1
unfortunate condition the soldiers drove
them away and ate their breakfast. After
the soldiers had satiated themselves the

The Capture OF the Gold Hunters.

A correspondent of the Sioux City
Journal, writing May Goth, from the
camp Of a freight trim which was on its
way out to join the Gordon party Of
Black Killers, writes the following story
Of the capture Of that party and the des.
truction of its outfit, as related by one
Evans. We presume the military author.
tiles will investigate the serious charges
Of unnecessary cruelty and ou'rages, as
detailed by these Sioux City stories.
The story runs as follows:
In the meantime Evans, the Superin.
tendent Of the transportation company,
had come into camp and reported, that,
after being captured and taken down the
Niobrara river distance of thirty miles,
they told the Captain commanding the
soldiers, that they would go no further,
and turned their teams to the westward.
The Captain (Walker) and his command
followed up to within about twenty miles
Of the west line of the State tNebraska)
and twelve miles east of Antelope Creek,
the present location Of Gordon City.
While stationed at this point Captain
Walker came up with his command, and
camped within 300 yards of the Gordon
train.
Captain Walker then sent an order
down to Gordon's camp. requesting the
leaders to come up to his tent, as he
wanted to see them. The camp ap-
pointed 4 committee to 20 up and
confer with the . Captain. The
Captain received them cordially and in.
vited them into his tent for a talk. They
then and there wrote an article of agree.
ment which was signed by all the men Of
the company and the Captain of the sol.
diers. The company bound themss]v
that they would not go west Of Antelope
Creek, nor north Of the State line. The
Captain pledged himself that they should
not be molested if they remained at this
point, and also: that he would return the
guns he had taken from them when first
captured. e ..~ >.
