The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1876-05-24

The campaign of Gen. Crook has
opened inauspiciously. Without fir
ing a shot his command lost sixty
five men at their first halting-place.
on Lodge Pole creek, last Friday
night, the men taking with them
their horses, arms and equipments.
They were from the different COM
panies of the End and Bird Cavalry
regiment which left Fort Russell
that morning. Col. Royal detailed
officers to hunt up the deserters, and
says he will shoot such as are caught
for deserving almost in the face of
the enemy. There is no denying the
fact that the regulars and especially
the e recruits, have a wholesome
terror of the Sioux. The desertion
of these men had a very bad effect
upon the column, and the general
question is: If men begin deserving
two hundred miles from danger, what
will they do when they meet the In
6:ans?
One Of the deserters who was cap
tured says the men left their colors
because 1t was reported among them
that in the event of a battle and de-
feat the wounded are to be left in the
hands of the Indians. Some say that
such an order was attributed to Gen.
Reynolds during the Crazy Horse
campaign, but nobody credits the
story. Gen. Crook is too good and
too brave an officer to tolerate any
thing so barbarous. If the soldiers
will stick by him he will stick by
them. and the whole command will
either conquer or fall together.

The subjoined statement has been
handed us for publication. 1t is
signed by all the men belonging to
the White Clay train, and needs no
explanation.
10 the Editor Of the Leader. Let
me invite attention to the following
facts: On Sunday, May 18th, while
the White Clay train were in camp
eight miles north of Indian Creek,
on their return to Cheyenne city fol
freight, a band of hostile Indians,
not less than seven in number, sud-
denly made theirappearance and FIR
ed a volley into the corral, and then
made a quick dash ut the stock,
while grazing, to stampede them.
All the men, except those in charge
Of the stock, were at dinner, but as
soon as the alarm was given they
seized their guns and fired aid made
every effort in their power to drive
back the Indians. Through fright
or fear two half-breeds, who were on
DUTY at the time, herding, in a most
responsible position, did not succeed
by the use of guns and their own
e~xertions, In preventing the Indians
from starting the stock off ON a run.
Once, when the horses and mules
had stopped running, and the owners
called out cease hring," a set OF
men with Scott Davis, whose train
was camped near by, commenced
firing at the Indians, and in conse-
quence caused the stock in their
fright and the fast driving of them
by the Indians, to u off. The In
dians got thirty-four head of the
best, and those left and used could
not make speed fast enough to over
take them.
The Indians we're pursued over
SIX miles, four of them firing all the
time at the approach Of the men,
while three others drove on the stock.
The horses the. men rode soon gave
out and they were compelled to re-
turn. The occurrence is much re-
GREETED by all belonging to the trais,
and l can truly say that these men
are above censure, and did all they,
could to save the stock. Not so
with Scott Davis, and the men with
him, for they are in part at fault.
They were near the stock and could
have saved them. First, by obey
ing the loud cries of the men not to
fire when the stock had stopped run
ming; second, by assisting, in
mounting some of their horses and
making an immediate effort to Sc
cure the stock, after they had caused
them to start to run again by firing
their guns, against the protest of the
owners. Justice to the owners and
those who had charge of the stock
demands hat the above statements be
published. They were read to all
the men connected with the White
Clay train and endorsed by them
to-day. TRUTm. q
