Colette River. The men were al.
most unable to articulate from the
effects of thirst. The wag.
on train left in the rear
was attacked by llfteen Indians,
the guard repeihng them I'LL re-
lieved by arrival of reinforcements
ALI the scouts who had bean en-
gagged deserted the expedition and
Thornburg could only push on In
a northerIy direction In hopes OF
striking the trail. Camp was made
at night at the bead Of the Blue
Water, tbirty-five miles north OF
the river. The rations for the men
and forage for the horses gave out
on Sunday and the men were
compelled to breakfast on 3
fresh beef. On Sunday they
marched forty miles and struck the
great sand hills of Nebraska, sand
knee deep to the horses and carried
by wind In binding clouds. The
column marched As miles without
water and with no food save hard
tack and raw bacon. Tuesday they
struck Carletonss trail and followed

forty miles and passed 8 adlk cqmD
made by CarletOn's me1l- Hof1f6
and men dropping out of Carleton's 8
column exhausted came strag-
CLING into camp near an alkali
lake at all hours during the night.
Wednesday morning the thought
that the whole command would
perish in the sand was generally
discussed. New couriers were sent
forward and every effort was made
to relieve the increasing distress.
They succeeded at 8 o'clock in COM
municating with Carleton, and an
hour later camped on the head
waters Of Snake river, where Carle.
toms relief met them. The expe-
tion is a complete failure, so far as
the capture of iherenegade Indians
Is concerned.
