aim, resting his gun on the edge of the

making due allowance for the drop of the
bullet at so great range, and also taking
the slight wind that was blowing into &C

the center of the body, he fred. For an

NAMED to be seen. One of the party had
field glass and it was brought to bear
upon the Indian. Through it il was seen
that the chief had been hit squarely in
the breast, as the blood could be seen
squirting from ragged hole in his blanket.
Only moment or two did the stricken
man reel, and then he fell to the ground.

companions attempting TO remove the

MCCORMACK TO THE RESCUE.
Shortly after midnight Paul McCor-
mack made his way from the fortress
and stealthlly began to creep through the
saReorush, going toward the river.
Reaching this he entered and slowly
foated down the stream until he judged
himself we'll outside the Indian lines,
when he swan ashore and began the long
journey to Billings, the nearest point
from which relief could be summoned.
The trip occupied him eight days, but he
was fortunate in securing the needed
assistance. Orders were received from
Gen. Terry by Gen. Custer whose com
mand was the closest To the scene of the
troubles, to take a detachment of
soldiers and proceed with all haste
TO the rescue of the impris-
oned men. Paul Mccormack acted as
guide for the troops, and in five days af-
ter his arrival IN Billings he, with the
rescue party, was back at Pease's Bot
toms, the Indians driven away and the
whites saved. The stockade was then
destroyed and under the escort of the
troops the remnant of that party Of thir-
ty-two men returned to civilization.
This was the inception of the war, be-
ginning there at Pease's Bottoms, with
the firing Of shot that killed friendly
Indian early in the fall The Custer
massacre did not take place for some
months after. w. G. BURKHARDF.
