perfect screen. Back of these rises
the bluff, almost bare, save for the
single grove of pines that has been
mentioned. On the east side of the val
ley, beyond the meadow where the In
dian camp was located, is a line of
bald hills, which abound in springs of
pure water 1t was to these hills that
the citizen soldiers urged Gibbon to re-
treat after the demoralized Indians
had collected their forces. Had this
been done, the story of the battle
would have been a different one The
Indians at that time were whipped,
and had the troops remained in the
open country, away from the shelter
that the Indians used to such good ad-
vantage, the whites would have con-
tinued to hold the mastery of the stu
alton. But that is another story"

Fort FiZzle.

The regulars and the volunteers rem
dezvoused below Woodman's Flat, Just
below the opening of the canyon of
Lolo pass. The entire force numbered
nearly 800 men. The incidents of this
campaign are still fresh in the minds
of all old-t!mers in Missoula, and they
do not care to hear much said about it.
Every Indian. Nez Perez or Flathead,
was regarded for the time as a bad In
dian and the orders We're to arrest all
Indians. There We're many ridiculous
arrests made at this time John Hill,
an Indian who had lived in MissouIa
Tor many years and who spoke English
huently, was arrested by two men who
had known him for many years, tied to
a horse and taken to Fort Missoula
under arrest. All the way he chaffed
his captors about tieing him. At the
mouth of Lolo canyon a fertilization
was thrown up, built of logs and earth
This extended all the way across the

Lolo pass to look for the Nez Perces.
These two leutenants, Woodbridge and
Coolidge, reached the summit and made
a careful examination of the country,
but found no trace of the Indians
They therefore concluded that the In
dams had changed their plans. The
officers accordingly returned to the
fort and made their report. Joseph
and his men reached the summit of the
pass three hours after the officers
started back for the post. He sent two
runners ahead to Captain Rawn with
the request that he be allowed to pass
through the Bitter Root valley without
resistance he agreeing not to modest
the settlers. These messengers were
promptly thrown into the guard house
and Captain Rawn prepared to meet
the Indians with his company and that
of Captain Logan.
In the meantime five companies of
volunteers had been organized in the
Missoula and Bitter Root valleys. Gov
ernor Potts had equipped them with
20 stands each of 5O-caliber needle guns
and with 1000 rounds of ammunition.
Companies had also been formed at
Helena, Deer Lodge and Virginia City.
1t was not known which way the In
dams would attempt to move after
reaching Montana. When Joseph was
reported as having reached the hot
springs at the summit of the Lolo pass
the companies in the western Montana
valleys FASTENED to reinforce the regu-
lars in their efforts to stay the prog
ress of the Indians. How successful
this attempt was is told in the history
of the Fort Fizzle campaign.
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-09-10

tlement began in the valley. The In
dams became annoying to the settlers
and in 1875 President Grant issued a
proclamation declaring that the VALID
wa valley was a part of the public do
main and open to settlement. In 1877
the position of the Indians had become
so threatening that two companies of
cavalry were sent to the reservation
by General Howard and the discomfort
ed Indians Were frightened for the
time. General Howard followed the
troops, and with the Indian agent, held
several councils with Joseph and his
chiefs. The result of these councils
was that Joseph agreed to go to the
reservation and asked for 30 days in
which to collect his people. This was
granted, But Howard, suspecting that
the request was simply a ruse of the
Indians to gain time for preparation
for war, hurriedly concentrated all of
his available troops. This was a wise
provision, for before the expiration of
the 30 days White Birds warriors had
murdered a number Of the new settlers
in the valley. Two companies of cav
airy were hurried forward to arres'
and bring in the murderers and the war
was on.

III.
The Retreat Into Montana.

In the first engagement that ensued
the Indians were victorious and in the
succeeding skirmishes honors broke
even. The troops, however, moved with
such rapidity after they were organized
that they harassed the Indians seri-
ously and Joseph and Looking Glass
decided to leave for the Buffalo coun-
try" in eastern Montana. Accordingly
their command was broken into small
parties which scattered and crossed the
rivers in different places. The column
assembled again at the foot of the Bit
ter Root range which is the dividing
line between Idaho and Montana. Gen
eral Howard telegraphed at once to
General Gibbon, who commanded the
troops in Montana, with headquarters
at Fort Shaw asking him to intercept
the fugitive Indians, while he con-
tinued the pursuit with his troops The
Indians were heading for the Lolo
pass, south of Missoula. Fort Missoula
was then in process of construction and
was garrisoned by two companies I'M
To this officer General Gibbon tele-
graphed orders to watch for the In
dams and to intercept them if possible.
Gibbon in the meantime proceeded to
assemble what troops he could spare
and to hasten to Fort Missoula. Cap
tain Rawn at once dispatched two of
his lieutenants to the summit of the
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-09-10

canyon and a considerable distance up
The other wall of the canyon was so
steep that it was deemed unnecessary
to fortify it. Intrenched behind this
fort, which has gone into history as
Fort Ffzzle, the regulars and volun-
teers awaited the arrival of Joseph and
Looking Glass. Joseph came forward
with flag of truce and hree-day
parley followed, Joseph repeating the
request that he had sent to Fort Mis-
soula. He said that he had been driven
from his home and that he was taking
his people to the Buffalo country to
find new abiding place. He did
not desire to harm the whites. If
Bitter Root valley without resistance,
he would not modest the settlers. This
proposal Captain Rawn rejected and
urged Joseph to turn back. The In
dams refused positively to do this and
no agreement could be reached after
three days of council. Rawn would not
consent to allow the Indians to pro-
Cccu anu JOSepH "Ouiu not surrender.
The result was that at the council on
the third day Joseph announced that
he would advance the next day. If
he had to fight, he would fight hard
and he would have vengeance
upon the settlers in the Bitter Root
The men behind the Notifications pre-
pared for the battle which seemed in
evitable. In the morning shots were
heard ahead and it was thought that
the battle had begun. 1t turned out
however, that there was nobody in
front of the fort to fight The willy
chief had taken his entire party around
the fort on the mountain sides in the
night, leaving a few warriors in front
to attract attention. After the first
few struggling shots had been fired,
the men in the fort saw the rear guard
of Josephs column passing down the
valley behind them. The battle of
Fort Fizzle was over, and owing to the
inferiority of his force, Captain Rawn
deemed it inadvisable to attack the In
dams. The troops returned to Fort
MissouIa to await the arrival of GEN
eral Gibbon and the volunteers returned
to their homes. The Indians marched
down the Lolo to the Bitter Root and
turned up that stream, camping that
night on Carlton creek.
