BLOODY TRAIL
The trail Of the red devils from their
reservation al the Cheyenne and Arapahoe
Agency, through Kansas and up to the line
of the Union Pacific railway is bloodyl
one, and marked by the corpse of many
soldierly brave and fearless herder. 1t was,
however, in Northwestern Kansas, that the |
atrocities were copmitt.d, where houses |
were burned, settlers murdered and women |
rayished, and the crimes committed will |
remain as among the most fearful |
ever chronicled in border war
fare. The Indians spared no one, with |
the exception of two women whom they |
ravished and then turned out on the bleak |
prairie, at night, to fad the settlements as
best they could. Every living thing on
their path wss either ruthIe-sly killed or
driven of, every house burned and every
bit Of grain they could lay their hands up
on destroyed. They wreaked their ver-
geance most terribly, and glutted to the fill
their inratiate appetite for murder, rapine,
and robbery.
