VERY few of the present voting popu-
lation of the United States have ever
heard of the tragic death that befell
Lieut.. Montgomery Pike Harrison,
brother of Gen. Benjamin Harrison.
I'm April, 1S49, Capt. Marcy, of the
United States army, then stationed at
Fort Smith, Ark, received orders from
the War Department to organize and
command an expedition for the purpose
of escorting overland immigrants to
California, starting from Fort Smith.
Among the young officers who accom-
panied him was Lieut.. Harrison. The
command proceeded to Santa Fe, and
returned in the fall of the year to Fort
Smith, arriving on the 10Th of Novem-
Der. On the evening of the 18th of Oc-
tober, near the Red fork of the Colora-
do River, Harrison strayed too far from
his command, and fell q victim to the
troacherous and bloodthirsty Indians.
The route of the command lay through
d desert region of sand hills and
ravines. During the afternoon Lieut..
Harrison told Capt. Marcy that he
would ride ahead, review the route,
and look for good camping ground.
He was soon out of sight. The COM
mand proceeded for some distance and
camped. AS Harrison did not return,
several searching parties were sent out
without success, and the field piece
was fired at intervals during the night,
TO guide him back if lost. In the morn
ing search was organized, and the
Indian guides put on his trail. And
here the wonderful power of the In
hian track-fnder in reading facts by
The ground signs was evidenced. They
followed Harrison's trail for two miles;
explained where he had met four
mounted Indians; how Harrison and
they had dismounted and shook hands;
Harrison had a gun, the Indians bows
and lances; they had shown him their
arms, and they had looked at his gun,
when one of them kept the gun and
stepped behind him on guard, making
him a prisoner. Three of them had
stepped aside and consulted what to do
with him. Then they returned and led
him a short distance, when the one
with the gun shot him in the head;
and there he lay before the party on
the sand, stripped naked and bare of
everything except the lower part of
his boots. After committing the deed
they decamped, taking their victims
horse and accouterments' with them.
1Iarrison's body was taken to camp
and preserved in charcoal, a coffin was
made Of a wagon bed, and the escort
reached Fort Smith on the 10th of
November, as above stated. The re,
mains were buried in the grounds of
the present national cemetery, then
IN open wood, with military and
Masonic honor.,

"We all love you," DOC" repeated,

There was absolute silence in the

hear whose name the lady they each
loved would utter
"Name him." Doc repeated.

the men in the foremost row, and the
