The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1896-03-10
ON Mr.. IRVIN'S SIDE
Judge 0. B. 0'BaDnon of Deer Lodge
Speaks of Gibbons Battle.
ONE OF THE VOLUNTEERS
The Indians, He Says. Did the
Whipping in This Particular
Engagement-He Re-
cites Facts.

A number of comments have been
excited in various newspapers of the
state over George w. Twins interview
in the Standard regarding General Glib
bon and the battle of the Big Hole A
number of interviews on the subject
have been had in various parts of the
state. Now Judge o. b. O'Bannon of
Deer Lodge, comes to the front and
confirms Mr.. Twins story of the af-
fair. Mr.. O'Bannon is interviewed by a
reporter of the Anaconda Recorder and
says:
II was in Lewiston, Idaho, when
read the Standard containing the inter-
view with Mr.. Irwin. 1t was apparent
that Mr.. Irwin spoke from memory and
on the spur of the moment, and whilst
he is somewhat mistaken in a few mi
nor details, / think he is certainly cor
rect in every essential particular.
was a member of Capt. Thomas Stu
arts company of volunteers, which
hurried to Gibbons aid and relief in
response to his Macedonian call. l did
not personally go onto the battlefield
on reaching the Big Hole, but L talked
then and subsequently with Mr.. Irwin
and Captain Stuart and a number of
others who did, and l know il was the
unanimous opinion that the Indians
had not only repulsed Gibbon and
driven him into cover, but that II they
had not known General Howard was so
close upon their trail, the result would
have been much more disastrous to
General Gibbons gallant command.
Nobody in Deer Lodge or anywhere
else ever disputed the personal bravery
of General Gibbon or the gallantry of
those he led TO battle; but the truth is,
the Indians beat the best fight they
could make; they repulsed them, and
licked them, in my opinion, and l could
never see where any disgrace attached
to the fact, or why the defeat should
not have been gracefully acknowl-
edged. / know the people of Deer
Lodge, then and ever since, have hon
ored the troops and volunteers who took
part in the battle of the Big Hole
What alone we complained of, then and
afterwards, was the unjust and ungra-
cious treatment of General Gibbon,
and, If called upon, we are ready to
make our specifications of grievances.
II have read the reply of Captain
Woodward to Mr.. Irwin. have the
honor of his personal acquaintance.
He is a gentleman and a soldier and
ii is natural and proper he should
come to the defense of his dead chief
tain. His reply is thoroughly courte-
Gus, but / think he is certainly mis-
taken as 10 the main points at issue.
IT have also read Mr.. Merry's screed
in the Independent. / don't know the
and don't believe he knows
what he is talking about Since re-
turning to Deer Lodge ] tried to see
Captain Stuart, who commanded
of volunteers that went to
General Gibbons relief. I failed TO
meet him, but was told he fully sus-
tanned the statements of Mr.. Irwin, in
the Standard interview as being sub
correct"
