"A Pen-Picture OF the Only Survivor
OF the Custer Massacre. a
Bismarck Cor. Chicago Tribune.
"Comanche," the only living survivor
of the Custer massacre, is horse, as the
recent order from Gen. Sturgis, pull lished
in the Tribune, bore pleasant witness. He
il bound to be notable animal. His ser
vice entities him to all the recognition he
has received, and great deal more. Your
correspondent had an interview with Co.
manchc the other day. 1t was held in
company with Gen. S. D. Sturgis, CON-
mandant of Fort A. Lincoln. Comanchc
was summoned before the headquarters of
the Seventh cavalry, and the usual ques-
tions of the interviewer put to him. He
acknowledged the intervicwers speech
with toss of his head, Il stamp of his foot,
and flourish of his beautiful tail. He is
as old as the regiment, and older, but he
can't talk. His poundkceper, however, was
standing by his head, and, with soldicrly
courtesy, saved Comanche's reputation.
He answered that Comanchc was a veteran,
81 years of age, and had been with the
Seventh cavalry since its organization in
'6G. There was only one horse in tho regi-
mcnt as old in the service. and none now
so highly esteemed. Since Gen. Sturgis's
order there was general revival of inter
est in him throughout the garrison. 1t
was suddenly realized that there was a
hero among them. ...,.s.. 49,.

from as many bullctwounds. There arc
four back of the foreshouldcrs. one through
a hoof, and one on either hind leg. In the
Custer battle field three of the balls were
extracted from his body, and the last one
not taken out until April, ~. He was
found bv Sergeant DeLacy in ravine
where lie had crawled, there to die and
feed the crows. He was raised up and
tenderly cared for. His wounds were scr
ious, but not necessarily fatal, if properly
looked after. Capt. Keogh's leg was broken
by one of the balls that entered the side of
bis gallant war-horse Comanche is not a
great horse, physically talking; he is Of
medium sizc neatly put up, but quite noble
looking. He is very gentle. His color is
"claybank" He would make hand
some carriage horse. The service he has
seen proves him an animal of almost
everlasting endurance John Rivers, of
Company (Keogh's old troop, will con-
scientiously observe that he is never re-
quired to endure any more work. Old age
will be the only thing he will have to con.

best the army affords. Hencetorrh Co
