The Willard ExcuPSlOniStS

BozEMAN, Mont, Special Telegram,
Sept. THE excursionists arrived at
Livingston this morning, and after
breakfast took look at the beautiful
decorations in and about the depot and
town. The minerals and grain from the
upper Yellowstone indicated the pres
ence of rich mines and farming country
Whereabouts. Between 8 and 10 o'clock
this morning our train pulled out for the
first division of the Rocky mountains.
Approaching from the eastern valley,
the ascent of the pass is abrupt and short.
The summit is the highest point on the
line, and is directly over the Bozeman
tunnel, OH which the work is being
pushed rapidly from this point. The
scenery is beautiful. Its majesty and
grandeur awe even the heavy takers
into silence, broken only by expressions
of surprise as some new beauty of land
scape or rocky front opened to us
through the gorge in front of us. The
Gallatin valley, in all its lovliness, burst
upon the view as it lay listless and hazy
it the golden autumn air. Field after
field of grain in shock bore witness that
the present crop had been good one.
We pulled into the depot at Bozeman-
the Beautiful City"-through arches of
evergreens, and on alighting, found the
depot handsomely decorated, the silver
band braying its welcome, the cannon
adding its volume to the sound, and 200
carriages waiting to take the party for a
drive through the city.
EXPRESSIONS OF WONDER.
were frequent as t:e blocks of brick bus
mess houses, the twobrick graded school
buildings, the churches and fine court
house were passed in succession; while
on every hand the evidences of wealth
and tasteful culture were present. The
view of the valley from the foot hills
was most enchanting, and as Chicago's
mayor said in his speech, "This is GER
tainly glorious country and Gods
favored paradise" At the depot, on the
return from the drive, the party took in
the display Of fruits, grain, ETC.. wheat
running from 40 to 100 bushels to the
acre. The latter figure is not typos
mistake. The hundred-fold was shown
in the bundle, with six full heads on
the stalk. Barley, bright and full at
forty five bushels per acre, and oats going
up to 100 bushels, and Eye gods" weigh
ing fifty pounds to the brshel; immense
turnips, cabbages, potatoes, ETC., ad infin-
itum. A block of coal, bituminous,
glossy and very fat, was resting its ton
and half of weight on the platform.
1t was raised at mine eight miles away
Gold silver aud copper from the noun
talns around were shown in rich proftl-
sion; but the inevitable "All aboard
broke the charm. Here is certainly
one of natures richest storehouses.
Short speeches were made by Willard,
Grant and Harrison, and we sped away
well satisfied with Bozeman and fertile
Gallatin valley, with her framework Of
more than Alpine loveliness.

In answer to an application from the
French charge d'affaires for permission
to take twenty Indians from their reser'
yations to France for exhibition, Com
missioner Price has advised secretary o.
the interior to refuse the request, upon
the ground that such exhibitions result
in the decentralization of the Indians and
render them dissatified with life at the
agencies.

CHAPTER XXVI.

CHAPTER XAEl.
The Ellis battalion, consisting of four
companies of the I'd Cavalry left Keogh
in October, and went for winter quarters
to Fort Ellis, and Miles with his regiment
the 9TH Infantry stayed and garrisoned
Fort Keogh.
During December, six Sioux warriors
were seen, with piece Of white cloth
flying for flag of truce, coming from the
hills towards Keogh. Some Crow scouts,
who had discovered them before they
were seen by the fort officials, sneaked
up gulch and at about a half mile
from the fort, attacked and killed every
one.
Crazy Horse with quite strong force
of Ogalalla and Brule warriors was known
to be camped near the head of the Rose
bud, and Gen. Miles concluded to attack
his camp; so mounted all of his infantry
for whom he could find horses, and
about the Sd of January, 1877, he started
with six companies and found and at
tackled the Indians on the morning of
the Sth. There was greater number of
the hostiles than he had expected to find
and to save himself from Clusters fate, he
had, after the first dash, to fight entirely
ON the defense. The position taken by
the troops was well sheltered and though
they were under hot fire for three
hours there were but eight men killed
and fifteen wounded. The Indians then
drew off and all of the command were
well pleased to take up their march back
to Keogh.
When the camp was first charged three
squaws and pappoose were captured by
the scouts. These were taken to Keogh
with the command. Soon afterward
Frank Gruard, taking the captives went
to the Indian camp. Within two weeks
this noted scout came back and with him
were forty chiefs and warriors, who,
after few days talking, agreed. to take
their people to their respective agencies
and give up their arms and ponies.
Their ammunition waE used up and
hunger was pressing them hard, and it
was question of surrender or starvation

food. In the morning they started for
the camp of Crazy Horse, which at that
time was again on the head Of Rosebud.
On the third day after the fight the
weather became very cold and all of the
wounded and many of the others were
frozen. The remnant of this band stayed
short while with Crazy Horse and then
went to their agency and gave themselves
up. There were sixteen killed in the
battle and twenty wounded, but eighty
had died when they arrived at the Sioux
camp on Rosebud.
Pity could be easily felt for their
wretched state, but for the acts commit
ted by them, before coming to their
camp on Powder river for which this
punishment was righteous retribution.
Eleven men, one of whom Bob An
derson) was well known at Emigrant, on
the Yellowstone, left Camp Brown, on
Little Wind river, in September Of this
year, for a wolfng trip to the lower Wind
river.
At nearly the same time Naucock, a
negro and Shoshone half breed, who was
interpreter for and had much influence
with the Shoshones, went out for buffalo
with eight lodges of his people. Nothing
was heard of either of these parties till
Nov., when a war party of Shoshones
found, on No Wood creek the cut up
lodges and bones of their massacred
friends. The signs around, indicated to
their practiced eyes, that it was done by
Cheyennes, whose trail was easily fol-
lowed to the head Of Powder river.
In the spring of 1877 military party
while on their way from Camp Brown to
Fort Mckinney (Which name had been
given to new Fort Reno, in honor of the
lieutenant killed in the Cheyenne fight
found at the forks of Red Paint Rock
creek, the skeletons of several men, and
other signs to indicate that there, party
of wolfers had met their fate at the hands
of the same band of Cheyennes, for their
trail passed near to the wolfers' camp.
As Crooks command was getting short
of supplies, that general concluded to go
back to Fort Laramie, at which place he
arrived early in January.
