REcoLLEcTIoNs OF A TRAGEDY.

The Custer monuments is about four
teen miles distant. Tho tragic event
which it commentaries, and which
proceeded the establishment Of Fort
Custer, is u matter Of history, and the
details and incidents, except :to those
who were in the battle are already
becoming dim and shadowy; but even
ut this late day there are few mon
who are not ready to take sides rs to
the cause of the disaster, and whether
it would have been prevented
Speaking of the fight during the past
week, Oh the recurrence of the eighth
anniversary Of the massacre, an army
officer who was with Reno remarked
that one of the coolest and most time
ly bits Of work that day June the 25th
1876, was done by Capt. (then liou-
tcnant) Godfry Of the Seventh cavalry
After Bcntcen and McDougul had
Joined Reno, tho whole command
moved out in the direction of the firing
whore Custer was, and marched to Il
high hill, but tho firing stopped, and
Capt. Weir was sent out to open rp
communication with Custer. word soon
came back that the Indians We're
coming in great force, and Reno and
Bcntcen decided to return to the
bluff, where Rcno had made his last
stand. So the retreat began, Weir
bringing up the renr. aud checking
the advance Of the Indians as we'll us
he could. But the country seemed
full of Indians, who were circling
about the rear, whooping and yelling
like devils. Weirs company had II
good many recruits in it, and they were
getting demoralized, and had already
started upon pretty rapid trot toward
the main body, when Godfly, who
was away off to tho left, protecting
the flank, saw how things were going,
and started with his company. Civ
ing his men the word, they swung in
behind Weirs company, halted, faced
about and dismounted; then placing
their horses in the care of every fourth
man, they formed skirmish line.
As the Indians came whooping on
they met such a hot fire that it fairly
staggered them and emptied not u few
saddles. The result was they drow
off and gave Reno and Benteen plenty
of time to get ready for them. !
don't think it was ever mentioned III
the reports, but it ought to have been,
fo, if the Indians had got rs on the
run and broken inside our line on the
hill they would have wiped out the
whole command. BY the way, he
continued. did I ever tell you about
Private Madden? No? We'll, Madden
was the first man to step out from
the ranks and volunteer to fetch
water for the men on the hill. You
see we had had n pretty hot fight.

EIGHTH ANNIVERSARY
OF THE CUSTER MASSACRE
ON THE BIG HORN.
The Memory Of That June Day viii
Always Remain Green. A Few
Heretofore Untold REM
inecences.

The military post which is situated
at the junction of the Big Horn and
Little Big Horn rivers in Montana
was established July 4, 1877. 1t was
first known as Fort No. 9, Big Horn
river, but on its occupancy by the
troops in November, 1877, the namc
was changed to Fort Custer. The
the high hills on which the fort was
built commands u view of Il magnfli-
cent stretch Of country, which, to the
eastward, near the river, is somewhat
broken and rugged, while to the west
as far rs the eye can reach extends Il
sloping, grass covered prairie. South
ward and eastward are the spurs of
the Big Horn mountains. The Crow
Indian reservation within whose limits
the post is situated, contains some
of the most fertile valleys and finest
grazing land in tho territory, and has
for years been looked upon with long
ing eyes by the stockmcn and cattle
owners Of that region. Efforts have
been made to open upa portion at
least Of the reservation to settlement.
The Crows or Absaraka Indians
number about 1000, and although
they occupy country which is ton
times us large as they need Or can
utilize, still, since they have always
been friendly to tho whites, and have
ever stood ready to assist the military
authorities in campaigns against the
Bannocks, Nez Perces, Sioux, and
other hostiles, there is little probabil-
ity that the attempt to deprive them
Of their land will succeed. The post
has quarters for ton companies, in
cluding stables for six troops of cav
airy, and the buildings arc grouped
in the customary fashion about IN
open plaza or parade. There are no
walls or defensive works Of any kind
surrounding the fort. Until recently
it has been the headquarters of the
Second cavalry, but that regiment is
now on route to the Pacific slope, and
pending the arrival Of the five
troops Of the First cavalry which have
been ordered to take station there the
fort is held by companies I and II of
the Fifth infantry and + and X Of
the Seventeenth, under command OF

a Manufacturing Business
can easily be established at Pierre, ow-
ing to the low freight rates obtained,
competition between river and railroad
transportation, the abundance OF wood,
which is now selling for 81 cord, and
the immense quantity of coal and other
raw material in the adjacent reservation
west of the river.
a Jobbing Trade
has already beend developed by Pierre mer-
chants with the Black Hills and the
country up and down the river, and
with lower rate of freight than can be
obtained at Watertown or Huron. or
any other point in South Central Dako-
ia, and being the only railroad point on
the boundary of the reservation soon to
be opened, Pierre is destined to become 9
great jobbing center.

DAKOTA

The city of Pierre is the county seat
Of Hughes County, OAK, and is To-
Gated on the east bank of the Missouri
River, in the geographical center of the
proposed new state of South Dakota,
and is opposite tho center of the great
Sioux Reservation. It is the present
terminus of the Dakota Central through
trunk line of the Chicago & Northwest
ern Railway; is distant 78l miles from
Chicago, and through daily trains with
out change of cars run between the two
cities in 80 hours.
The city is mainly built upon the
large and broad terraces overlooking the
river, with its wooded banks and islands,
and as the slope of each terrace or bench
is toward the river, the city is perfectly
drained and is free from tho dangers re-
sulting from foods or imperfect sewer
age.
