TELLS A GRAPHIC STORY.

Clusters Operations Against the Sioux In
dorsed by Major General Miles.
In Major General Miles personal
recollections of army life a chapter
is devoted to General Custer and the
Sioux war, the massacre and the
campaign that followed. The points
of interest in this history of the last
great campaign against the Indians
are naturally the operations leading
to the death of Custer and the oper-
ations in Arizona that led to the
retiring of General Crook from
active command and the transfer OF
General Miles to that district.
General Miles writes with great
feeling and unhesitatingly cham
pions the cause of General Custer in
the campaign against Sitting Bull.
He states clearly the conditions that
prevailed when General Custer
moved with the Seventh cavalry
into the Indian country. when Cen
eral Terry, in command Of the de-
partment, General Sheridan in com
mand Of the military district and
General Sherman in command Of
the army. knew not enough Of the
conditions and circumstances to give
definite instructions. General Miles
admits that at the time there was 3
feeling in military circles that Gen
The daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Ind. Ter. [Okla.]) 1898-1902, 1899-06-28

eral Custer's training in the civil
war and his general temper in battle
were against him as the commander
of an expedition against the hostile
Indians, and General Grant insisted
that Terry, and not Custer, be placed
in command of the expedition. 1t
was admitted, on the other hand,
that General Custer had more expe-
rience in fighting Indians than Gen
eral Terry, and that he would be in
command of the active column.
General Miles takes the position
that General Clusters dispositions
for the battle were in direct accord
ance with thebest military strategy,
and that he failed to defeat the In
dians simply because he was not adj
equately supported by the seven
companies of cavalry that were to
act in concert with him. He insists
that General Custer did not disobey
orders, because the last instructions
of General Terry were to make his
own dispositions and to use his own
Judgment. General Miles conduct
ed the winter campaign immediate
ly following the Custer massacre.
He was familiar with the Indians
who participated in that campaign.
He visited the battlefield, traced the
line of battle and the development
of the fighting, or the progress OF
the battle, by the position of the
dead bodies, and he scouts the idea
that General Custer moved up the
ravine, a theory that was advanced
by some of his critics, but shows
that the bodies found in the ravine
were those of the 80 or 40 men who
had attempted to escape when all
their comrades had been slaughter
ed. He criticises the actions of Ma
jor Reno, and incidentally those OF
Captain Benteen. He tells, in short,
a graphic story of what must have
been one of the most dramatic bat
ties of history and his discussion is
from first to last a defense of the
dead Custer and severe condemna-
ton of Major Reno.

Death From Poisoning.

In a number of murder trials held
within the past couple of years
there has been a great deal of testi-
mony from chemical experts, SO
called, to show that poisons were
found in the system in sufficient
quantities to produce death. Many
a man has gone to the gallows be-
cause traces of poison have been
found in the stomach of somebody
for whom he was known to have an
i'll will. How many innocent people
have been sacrificed on the altar of
ignorance only the recording angel
will ever be able to tell. 1t is estab-
ished past shadow of question
that the human system is most
complicated laboratory, and that
under given conditions the organi-
zation can, out of strictly innocuous
matter, produce the most virulent
poisons. Indeed this process of poi
son making is going on all of the
time. At the same time there are
counteracting influences at work and
neutral elements which convert all
of these poisons into benevolent
matter. If for instant the health
producing machinery should stop
work, the amount of poison turned
into the blood might cause death at
any moment. In view of these facts,
what is ordinarily called expert tes-
timony in murder trials needs to be
taken with great many grains of
salt. New York Ledger.

GUNS OF THE PuRlTANs.

Not the Biundsrbusass Usually Represent
ed By Artists.
One Of the most remarkable facts
to the investigator of our American
antiquities is the almost total igno-
rance which prevails among even
those who are otherwise well In
formed as to the. weapons, more es-
pecially the firearms with which
The daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Ind. Ter. [Okla.]) 1898-1902, 1899-06-28

our Puritan ancestors fought their
wars with the Indians. One of the
notions which seems firmly estab-
ished is that the early settlers gem
orally used the bell muzzle blunder-
buss. Almost every artist who
draws Thanksgiving or Christmas
picture of Puritan going to meet
ing gives him a gun with muzzle
like the end of trumpet. Now, the
fact is that the bell mouth firearm
was never military arm among
English speaking people at all, nor
was such a weapon ever common
either in this country or in England
until about the middle of the last
century, when it came into use for
the defense of houses against bug
glars, for stagecoach guards and
similar purposes. The blunderbusses
which are common enough in the
curiosity shops are almost without
exception later than 1850, and many
of them date only from the early
part of this century.
A large, bell mouthed gun was in
use somewhat earlier on board of
naval and other armed ships, but
this was heavy piece mounted ON
a swivel and used very much as the
bowitzor was later
Then as to the locks. Even some
of our most distinguished writers
seem to be completely at sea on this
point. One New England writer,
whom l will not name for fear of
seeming disrespectful to man de-
serving of honor, wrote some time
ago in magazine article that some
soldier in King Philips war might
have invented the fiintlock by find
ing that an Indian flint arrowhead
would make fire if inserted into the
cock of his matchbox. Now, the
soldier of 1875 was given a match
lock. not because the military au-
thorities were ignorant of guns
which could make their own fire
(wheel locks and snaphaunces were
in common use), but because the
matchbox was considered better for
ordinary use. More than this, if he
had thought of it, he would have
known that his matchbox would
not make fire with a flint. The flint
lock with which our war of inde-
pendence was fought requires a
powerful blow to make the flint
strike fire from the steel. This the
matchbox did not have, nor did the
pan cover open in such a way as to
make this possible.
At the time of King Philips war
and for a long time afterward the
ordinary firearm for infantry was
the matchbox musket. These are
plenty in European collections, but
very rare in America. l have never
seen one in any collection in this
country. At the same time the snap
haunce, a primitive form of the
fiintlock, was quite extensively used
by hunters, and probably by the In
dams, who would naturally object
to the match, which if kept lighted
would betray its presence, especial
ly at night. Wheel locks were prob
ably used to some extent by the
earliest settlers, but it was always
an exceptional arm and too costly to
be generally used. By the time of
King Philips war it was rather old
fashioned and not likely to have fig
ured much. In Springfield is a fine
bronze statue of one of the early
settlers, who is represented with a
wheel lock blunderbuss. This is, of
course, possible-anything is posi-
BILE. But if any wheel lock blunder-
buss can be found in any collection

The recent order of Chief Mayes
relative to intruder places is cer-
tainly step in the right direction
only it should have been taken
long ago. The Cherokee nation
is the legitimate owner of all such
improvements and not the individ-
ual citizen. The possession OF
these improvements was involved
in the suit which was recently
carried to the supreme court of the
United States and decided adverse
ly to the claimants. The Chero-
kee nation won the case, and is
entitled to the possession of these
places. The claimants have had
their day in court and lost and
now they have nothing to sell and
no rights to relinquish. The Cher
okee nation alone has the right
TO dispose of the places.

INDEFINITE SENTENCE SYSTEM.
Some Interesting Points About This
Method of Furnishing Criminals.

Word comes from the Moundsyille
penitentiary that the indettrminate
or indefinite sentence accompanied by
a parole law is in much favor with
the prisoners.
They are going to call on their
fathers, relatives and friends TO agi-
tate the subject so as to prepare the
coming Legislature to pass such a
law.
Governor Atkinson, the criminal
judges and prosecuting attorneys Of
the State will be asked to contribute
their support toward such law.
The indefinite sentence law simpli-
fies the work of trial judges and pros
ecuting attorneys. When a criminal
is convicted is the presiding Judge
shall pronounce sentence, to wit: You
are sentenced to the Moundsville pen
itentiary for an indefinite period. Ii
the statute says for any otfense, for
instance, from one to five years, un-
der the parole law, at the expiration
of one year he may be paroled, provid-
ing two responsible citizens vouch for
the prisoners former good standing
in the community and guarantee en-
ployment for him.
The warden and board Of prison di-
rectors, finding that his record is per-
feet in prison and that the citizens
making the application on the prison
er's behalf are sincere and of good
standing, he is paroled with the IN.
Outstanding that he must, from time
TO time, until the warden and board
of prison directors conclude that he IS
thoroughly reformed, correspond with
them and render good account Of
himself when final discharge and
restoration to citizenship is granted
him.
