refused to ceds their lands, and the memora-

18th Of Juno Gen. Custer, with five COM
pauies Of cavalry, attacked the Sioux in their

from daylight till 2 p. m, and when men and
horses were exhausted, attacked an over
whelming foroe Of Sioux, well armed and
resting in their camp. Nothing but disaster
could result A year or two later Gen. Miles
