In December 1890. the Sioux Indians
again broke loose from their reserva-

able men of the pitifully small but gal
liant United States army were hurried
ly rushed northwsrd to give them q
smash that would be convincing and
lasting. There was the Seventh cav
and Ninth cavalry, the First, Second
and Seventeenth infantry, the late Ia
mented and gallant Cspron's flying bat
terry OF artillery, besides others. The
campaign was short, sharp, brilliant
and decisive. The Indians were lam
bssted into semblsnce of order, and
that personidcation of deviltry, Sitting
Bull, given his transportation to the
happy hunting grounds.
My regiment. the Eighteenth infsn-
try, was too far away to go,and besides
the Rio Grande frontier, with Senior
Cara and his band, prowling around
loose, could not be left unprotect-
ed.
During all these trying times my
telegraph Office at Fort Clark was ma
turally the center of interest, and 1
had made an arrangement with the
chief operator at San Antonio to send
me bulletins of any important news.
always made two copies, posting one
on the bulletin board in front of my
Office, and delivering the other to the
colonel in person.
Soldiers are very loquacious as a
rule. Go into squad room at any
time the men are off duty and you can
hear disc lssiOn on almost any old
subject from the result of coming
fight to the deepest question of the
Bible and theology.
One morning, shortly after Wounded
Knee, with its direful results, had been
fought, thought it would be great
joke to post startling bulletin, just to
start the mems tongues a-wagging.
So 1 wrote the following:
