Speculation continuing regarding the
probable location of the Big Horn Post,
the following from the Inter- Ocean is OF
interest: At the last session of Congress
authority was granted fol, the, erection Of

understood he has selected the scene OF
the Custer massacre on the Little Big
Horn River as site for one of these two
forts, to be called Fort Custer, and it i.
probable the spot where Custer's troops
fell and are buried will be preserved Is q
cemetery.
