one sucfl was the gallant struggle OF Col.
G. A. Forsyth aud a band Of fifty scouts
with the terrible Cheyenne and Sioux war
riors and their bandit allies on the line OF
the Kansas Pacific In 1868. III August Of
that year there Was an outbreak Of savage
tiendishncss along the borders OF Kansas
Colorado and Nebraska east OF Denver.
The tribes of the region opposed the con
struction Of the railroad, AID began to raid,
ravish and kill over a widespread territory
Of thriving settlements. Their deeds were
such that no white man able 10 handle a
weapon could stay the passion OF revenge.
Among the officers at Fort Wallace was
Col. G. a. Forsyth, . civil war veteran
who had served with Sheridan. He was
On staff duty and had no followers, but ID
the excitement Of the hour dru1nmcd up
fifty unemployed scouts, mounted and
equipped in their own wild fashion, and
placed himself and men under military or
ders, The second in command was a hero
fitted to hold such relation to the gallant
colonel. This was Lieut.. i. II. Beecher
nephew Of Henry Ward Beocher}, also
civil war veteran, and one who had been
disabled at that. lie was under orders to
report for duty in Washington at q later
date, and volunteered, or bven begged, to
fill IN the interval lighting Indians.
The command started for the scene Of
Fort Wallace, and struck o trail on \
branch Of Republican river on the 1ith Of
September They followed the trail two
days without seeing redskin but evi-
denccs pointed to their presence in the vicin-
ity. They were trying to mislead and am
bush the daring party. On the aft&rnoon
OF the 10th Col. Forsyth halted and estab-
lishcd camp on Dry Fork, a stream With
but a few inches Of water. He was in the
~ 1oft jrtn !, l,1f
dotted with clumps of Stuutc,l trees. Late
in the afternoon a band Of several hundred
Indians rushed from cover and attempted
to stampede the animals hat we're grazing
near the camp. They were rcpulsed, and
Col. Forsyth, assuming this demonstration
to be the forerunner of a grand attack,
moved his force to nj island in the middle
of the water course The island bore Il few
low trees. On the morning Of the nth
every man alert before daylight, and
not Il moment too soon. The horses were
tied in the bushes close at hand, and while
several picked marhsmen kept up u fire on
the nearest indians, their companions dug
rifle p4 and made u circle Of them so rs to
receive The enemy on all sides,
The Indians kept up steady fire with
their improved repeating rites and coully
took position in easy range, boys with bows
and arrows stealing up very close by crawl
ing on tho ground. \ shower OF bullets
and arrows soon announced the onslaught
