ally imposing. Grand high mass was cele-

Messrs. Bernays Weiter, Burr, Davis, Helm,
Eberbach, Adams, Stone, and Barbarin. Pro-
fessor Anton Goetzner presided at the organ,
the regular organist Mr. Szemelenyi, acting
us leader. The usual choir were assisted by
some of the best amateurs of the district, all
being under the management Of Mr.. Freder-
ick w. Jones, who has had charge of the
music at this church for the past four years
The vocalists were: Soprani Mrs. ii. w. Bar
rett, Mrs. +. w. Jones, Misses Jose, ROdenstein,

of September, and rendered a bill for larger
amount than the previous month of July,
when the usual number of burners were
used. l demonstrated at such an outrage,

STORY OF THE CUSTER MASSACRE
An Account OF tho Slaughter Given by un
Indian Woman. .s

Indian Woman.
ST. PAUL, May 19,-since Gen. Custer and
his command of three hundred were massa-
cred by the braves of Sitting Bull, two or
three accounts have been given, each of
which purported to be correct history of tho
fight. But of tho particulars of the scene
there have been only meager accounts. The
Pioneer Press now publishes an interview be-
tween correspondent at Standing Rock
agency and the wife of Tatatulkahegleska, or
Spotted Horn Bull. This woman is first
cousin of Sitting Bull, and tho story is
vouched for as being o true account of the
battle. After describing the advance and
the retreat of Me-. Reno-whom she declared
to be either drunk or crazy, and his men
thoroughly panic strlcken-the woman stated
that the retreat aid its consequent slaughter
was scarcely endlj vhen the blare of Clusters
trumpets told the Sioux of his approach but
they were prepared for him. The men
quietly crossed the river, and hundreds gal
loped TO his rear out Of range at first, but soon
hemming him in constantly narrowing cir
cles The woman mounted her pony and
rode behind her camp where she could get Il
good view of the hills beyond. She saw the
troops come up and dismount. Each fourth
man seized the brides of three horses besides
his own. The rest deployed and advanced on
the run toward the river. She saw the terri
bic effect Of the withering fire which greeted
the approach from the willows on the In.
dans' side of the stream, and laughed as she
said: "Our people, boys and all, had plenty
of guns and ammunition to kill the new SOL
diers. Those who had run away left them be-
hind" Slowly trotting north along tho out
skirts Of the encampments, she noted the In
dians who had crossed getting closer to the
troops. She watched the latter-those who
were left Of them--retreat to their horses
and mount. She heard the yells of her kim
dred and the shouts of the whites; but soon,
as the former grew plentier and the latter
fewer she could distinguish little save here
and there an animated cluster Of men and
horses.
Slowly her pony logged down the stream
When she reached the Mnneconjo camp, on
the extreme left, not an hours ride, she said
not one white soldier was visible on the field.
OF horses there were plenty these the In
dians spared. The Custer men were soon
stripped and the Indians knew they had
killed the long haired chief by his buckslSin
coat trimmed with beaver which they found
upon him. The Sioux lost thirty killed and
more than twice as many wounded, the In
dians numbering five thousand in all.
