being British subjects. Ridgely savs-
Sitting Bulls only aim in musterino
| his warriors was to drive the miners
out of the Black Hills, and he had No
idea of meeting the soldiers until the
United states forces appeared on the
Yellowstone. and for eight days pre-
vious to the fatal precipitation of Gus
ter, mounted couriers from SITTING
Bulls camp observed every movement
of the approaching army. 1t was with
manifest delight they discovered the
enemy dividing their forces, and i'm
mediate preparations were made to
draw them into ambuscades. The In
dian camp was divided by a
high ridge, which extended in
southerly direction from the Rose
bud, the north end sloping down
nearly to the bank of the river near
ford. From this hill the Indians
watched Custer coming up through the
valley, following their trail. AS Gus
ter approached, he only observed twen-
ty-fve tepees, which were on one side
of the ridge, but behind the point of
the ridge were seventy-five double te-
PEGS, and when Custer commenced his
attack on the small village he found
himself surrounded by 800 or 1000
warriors ranged in order of battle. and
whose movements were executed with
military precision. Ridgely stood on
the side Of a hill in full view of the
battle, which was about mile and a
half distant. The fight began in a ra-
vine near the ford, and fully one-half
the command seemed to be endorsed at
the first fire, and the remainder began
to retreat toward hill in the rear.
But their ranks were thinned with as
tonishing rapidity from a front and
flank fire. Custer fell in the middle of
the engagement, which began about
eleven O'Clock and ended in the brief
space of forty-tive minutes After an
initiating the command the victors re-
turned to camp with six soldiers as
prisoners, and. intoxicated with ioy
over their success, they tied these poor
fellows to stakes, fixed around a wood
pile, and roasted them alive.
While the victims were enduring
aSonizlng fortunes, little Indian boys
fired arrows heated to red heat into
their quivering flesh until their black
ened corpses fell from the stakes.
Sitting Bull remarked after the battle
that he had killed many soldiers and
one General.
While the six soldiers were suffer-
ing their fiery ordeal the Indian
warriors went to drive back another
force which was attacking them in the
rear. This was about two clock, and
1t was undoubtedly Reno's command
driving III their pickets. When the
Indians returned to camp in the even
ing they said the men on the hill
fought like the devil" meaning
Reno's soldiers in their entertainments
on the hill. Ridgely says he was not
ptinifttcd TO epoalt TO the six soldiers
who were burned, and coulu not learn
who they were. The hostiles made no
statement Of their losses, and there
fore Ridgely was unable to give any
information on this point, excepting
that RenoS men killed more than
Custer.
Responsible citizens of this city
youch for the veracity of Ridgely and
his statements can be relied upon
