tackled the fort Aug. 90 1862, Deputy Marshal
Sheehan was in command of the post and,
while the savages numbered over 1,000, his
handful Of soldiers was the only garrison of
the post. The battle was determined on the
part of the Indians, who surrounded the fort
and kept up continuous fire throughout the

The major was rocking in big

when the troops and deputy marshals

"This number includes the Alaskan

THE Pillager Indians have lived
around Leech lake from time immemo-

run down Indian thieves or bands of murder

sacking of settlements and massacreing of the
settlers. In all he was a most brave officer,
of danger.
The deputy marshal Is also a hero of the
Civil war, in which he served as captain OF
Company c. He was with the Fifth Minnesota
yoluteer regiment at Nashville, where he DIS
tinguished himself for courage and was par
tieularly mentioned in the report of his COM
manding officer. His company was the color
company of the regiment. During the fighting
on Dec. 1, 1864, three color bearers had been
killed and two wounded when Capt. Sheehan
rescued the colors from a fallen soldier and
placed them in the hands of a non-commis-
stoned officer, who planted them the rebel
works. Commendation was given Capt Shee-
han for bravely standing by the colors during
the iercest fighting of the battle.
Timothy J. Sheehan is a pioneer settler OF
the state. When the Civil war broke out he
was twenty-five years old and Unlisted as
private in Company F. of the Fourth Min
nesota volunteers but returned home at the
first news Of the Indian outbreak to assist in
the protection OF the homes of settlers He
was made a lieutenant of Company c, in
March, 1852, and In August Of the same year
became commander of the company. After
the war Mr.. Sheehan served for twenty years
sheriff Of Freeborn county and has since
been a deputy United States marshal under
several marshals of this district. He has al
ways been regarded highly by the Indians and
is master in that diplomacy necessary in
successfully handling them. For that reason
he was sent more than once to the Pillagers
to try and settle the present difficulty. They
were however, determined on trouble from
the start and Capt. Sheehan knew it. For
that reason, it is said, he strongly urged Gen.
Bacon to send all the men at his disposal to

WALKER, Mimi, Oct. 6.-(Special.)-
There was some delay in getting the
troops started from St Paul, at 1 a.
r., When Adjt. Gen. Sturgis received
the order from Washington to move
the troops, arrangements were made
with the Northern Pacific for a special
train, but it did not reach the front
Until 7 a. m. About 100 picked men,
fr sh ftom the Santiago campaign, were
taken in heavy marching order, Off
cered as follows: Lieut.. Col Harbach,
commanding; Capt. Kennedy, Lieuts.
HOule, Todd, Gidings and Wygand.
Eacn man carries 200 rounds Of ammu-
milton, and besides this there is an
extra 5000 rounds. Lieut.. Col. Harbach
brought with him a Gatling gun, which
has & record Of 240 shots minute For
this gun 1000 rounds are along. There
are several among the men perfectly
capable of handling the implement of
destruction, and there is no doubt but
that it may come to excellent use.
The men on the train were all fever
ish for a fight, and the rumors Of the
conflict made them eager to reach the
scene Of the trObule.
When the train finally started, how
ever, quick time was made, with no
stops after leaving Minneapolis juno
tiOn, except at crossing Of other roads
General Superintendent Kimberly gave
orders for the train to leave St. Paul
ahead Of the regular and to make as
quick time as consistent with safety.
The special moved with aggravating
s,owness stopping many times until
Z Minneapolis Junction was reached at
at 9:26, but after that the speed was a
mile a minute and even faster on parts
of the road.
You never Travelled faster than you
are going now," remarked Conductor
]. w. Reese to Col. Harbach as the
train swung around a slight curve with
a speed that caused dizzy sensation
Engineer John Gavin knew the track
well, and got the best possible speed
out Of the engine.
At Little Falls the train stopped for
orders to transfer the troops at Brain

are eager to fight, and while prudence
on the part of the officers may result

as nOn-treaty Indians.
