THE CUSTER MASSACRE.

.#s Learned About IL. fjs Il

What Indian Agent MoGllllcuddy Has
Learned About 1t.
In his long service as Indian agent
Or. McGillicuddy learned from the
sioux many interesting facts about the
Custer massacre. For years after that
horrible affair the participants in It
were very 10th to talk Of it to white
men, but as the agent gradually gained
their confidence they told him, little
by little, the whole story. Sitting Bull
had 5000 warriors on that occasion.
That Is said to have been the largest
force of Indians ever encountered by
American troops in a single engage
ment. Custer had over 500 cavalry
and some Grow scouts. He divided his
forces about equally and sent Major
Reno with one body to attack the lower
end of the Indian village while he
charged ct the upper end. The Sioux
all agreed in their statements to DR..
McGillicuddy that their surprise was
complete. They were engaged in re.
peling Reno at one end, when the
buglers at the other end gave them
their first warning of Clusters pres
ence. They were disconnected, and
were on the point of giving way for a
general retreat when Reno, to their
establishment, drew off. This permit
ted them to turn their whole attention
to Custer. 1.-The white chief with the
yellow hair." -- ,.4.... "a.
They told how they managed to
make the massacre complete. The
ground was broken and Custer was UNI
able to handle his men in cavalry for
nation. He dismounted them, leaving
every fourth man to hold the horses.
The Indians threw themselves first on
the men with the horses, shot them
down and stampeded the horses They
did this, they said, because they knew
that the bulk of the ammunition which
the soldiers carried was on the horses.
This done, the rest was easy. 1t was
only the question of a few minutes till
the cartridges in the belts of the SOL
diers gave out and then there was no
more ammunition.
Il see." said DR.. McGillicuddy,
''that every now and then some man
announces himself, in the East, as the
sole survivor of the Custor massacre.
You can always put him down as an
impostor. There was one man who
might have escaped. He was young
surgeon named Lord. His body was
not found until long afterwards, and
it was at first supposed he was a cap
tive. The Indians told me a strange
story about Lords death. They said
that when he saw how things were
going he started off. Several young
bucks followed him, but he had a good
horse and kept ahead of them. just
as they were going to give up the
chase and intending to let Lord es.
cape. he drew pistol and shot him
self dead. / suppose he was crazed
at the thought OF becoming prisoner.
The only person with Custer who sur
vived was q Crow scout When he
saw that the fight had gone against
the cavalry he drew his blanket over
his head SO that the Sioux might not
recognize him as a Crow, jumped
about among them and howled and
gradually edged his way out of the
fight and made Off. l believe he is
still about the Crow agency. Sioux

Raising Peaches.

Peaches in Minnesota! Why, it must be
lnpracticable to raise them in this northern
latitude. But impracticable or not, Peter
NJ Gideon, whose fruit farm is near Lake
Park junction, does raise them, and every
fall has few to exhibit, not necessarily for
sale, but as guarantee of good faith. The
greatest drawback to raising peaches In
Minnesota is the necessity of covering the
trees in the fall, but this has been &C
