As much has been said about Custers battle ground

Colonel Brackett Immediately stated his intention Of

up Your correspondent went over the Of
Renos fight and all that part OF the hill where Custer
and his party met their deplorabe fate. On the hill
whers Reno made his stand tho numerous rie pits and
breastworks show what his did for their defence.
Down the hill about hundred yards lie the remains
OF iorty-six horses, killed al the picket line Across
the hills. and distant about mile aad half, you
come across tho first graves Of Custer's men,
PRESENT CONDITION THE GRAVES.
They are in good condition. only one was dug up.
Further up is tho hill upon which Custer iel, and
where the final staud was made Bones were scattered
in every direction, but not human bones. So many
horses had been killed on these bluffs mat helr bones
were met with every side. Graves were found In
which all the fallen men had been inferred. Stakes
had been driven at the heads OF these graves mark
tnom There found above ground only twelve
human skuls and somo bones, evidently dug up by
Indians and coyotes.

heaped upon him. He did all that any man
could do, and had been for a month before the sur
render with Generals Sturgis and Miles.
He did everything in his power to help Sturgls to
catch Joseph, and, Sturgs failing, ne gave Miles the
cue and Information that wrought the result
TRUTH ABOUT JosEPu's SURRENDER.
The truth Is How ard and Sturgis drove the Nez
Perces into pocket and that General Miles took
advantage oft. Had Howard Kept ON pressing the
enemy alter Miles had started with his fresh troop
ers Joseph would have been forced the line,
and probably Miles would have been beaten
Howard's "letting upn fooled the Indians and
caused a slower retreat That slowness was their
downfall
AT iour O'Clock, on the afternoon OF the 5th,
Joseph came out and offered his gun to General
Howard He did not pass by the Bible Chief in
sury silence, as the HERALD report from Fort
Benton makes it appear and say to Miles,
al want to surrender to you" My authority is
Lieutenant Howard who says that Joseph stepped
up to his father and offered him his gum Then 1t
was that Howard. although the ranking offlcer and
the commander ot the campaign then resulting
so successfully, turned Joseph over to GEN
that 1t was his battle and he should have the
honor OF receiving the big chief captive.
The General himself says he ached to make In
person the pursuit that Sturgis made that he
gave every available man to Sturgls and pid
him God speed. He also suppressed every
feeling, and gave Miles his opportunity
that was certain to give him the crowning
glory, of what in reality belonged to Howard
He had mercy on his men, otherwise lie could have
had the final victory.
General Howard does not appreciate Joseph's
humanity. He says the Indians killed right along
and counted his fingers sixty eight citizens they
had murdered on their retreat, and l79 soldiers
they had killed in battle since they fired up and
started on the war path.
