EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Some OF
our historical comrades seem to lack in

Of other than their own regiments at the
siege and capture of Vicksburg. As to
what regiment was first to enter-welI.
that is not important; none entered until
after the surrender, and | am sure that
every one did its duty.
Now, that was long time ago, and one
may distrust his memory: but rely upon
mine to be correct to this extent-and if
it deceives me some comrade can set me
right really feel very sure that among
the troops there-I do know that there
were others, for see all the work accom-
plished and valor displayed there credited
to this and to that regiment-yet, notwith-
standing and nevertheless. / firmly rely

ed. How hard it was to leave him there,
dying. Lieut.. Weed took command of
the company, and we were hurried to the
colors, which were reached by about 400
others. We were vastly outnumbered AMI
nearly surrounded, but fell back along
a ridge and eyaded the enemy, reaching
the headwaters of Elk River, and after
march of so miles we arrived at
Charleston, Va, on Aug. %.
The regimental historian places our loss
at one killed, 20 wounded, and 96 cap
trred. The affair was not without hui
initiation for us; but the regiment was
benefited as fighting machine by the ex-
perience of both officers and men.
The several companies of the regiment
were now scattered, and although but
few miles apart, they were not reunited
until Oct. 16, when those at Gauley Bridge
came down to Charleston.

all the diseased parts, so that even If they
were composed OF curative ingredients they
could not cure. Neither can the blood be

when Giddings appeared and said: Boys,
that's not wolves but Indians signal
for attack"
The fog began to raise, and large herd
of buffalo was seen coming on stampede
up the bottom, straight for our camp.
Some of the boys got their guns and
declared they would have fresh meat for
breakfast. Again Giddings interposed.
Boys, the Indians are behind those
buffaIOes''
BY this time the whole camp was
aroused answering the Lieutenant's COM
mand to fall in. The herd of buffalo took
fright at the sight of our tents, and turned
to the right. This uncovered the Indians,
who, joined by the bands from up the
river and the one abreast of us, came with
great shouts straight for the camp.

A TALE OF THE BORDER.
An Indian Fight More Than 80 Years Ago
ON the Plains Of the Great West.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE : On the
18th day of June, 1S47, a company of sol
diers under command of Lieut.. VIM. b.
Royal, who died recently in Washington,
having risen to the rank of Brigadier-
General in the Regular Army, were max
ing their way up the Valley of the Ar
kansas.
The men were recruited from the back
woods of Missouri to fill the decimated ranks
Of the army operating from Santa Fe. There
were but few men in the company, but they
were stalwart backwoods boys who had
been raised on horseback, with guns in their
hands, and were well fitted by nature,
training and ambition to march under the
Stars and Stripes on such an expedition.
1t was intended to camp ON the west bank
of Coon Creek, near where the town of
kinsiey is now situated.
Among the men was Faudy Giddings,
from Howard County. who had crossed the
plains many times with the merchant cara
vans that yearly supplied the people Of
New Mexico before the war.
Riding forward, he said: Lieutenant, sou
ought TO double your guard tonight"
whats the matter, Giddings!" said the
Lieutenant.

Giddings answered; land these bottoms
have always been filled with buffalo For

That night the guards were doubled and
as there were only 76 of us the detail was
pretty heavy. A heavy fog covered the
bottom after SHUTDOWN. and those who were
not on guard passed the night in tranquil
sleep. -. = /.
Morning found but few men ont of Their

camp from abreast the river and from
below.
It was sound that the boys had neyel
The National tribune., 1904-01-14

The Indian warfare of those days, as
they had only bows and arrows, was to
draw the fire of the soldier, protected by
their shields, made of the skin of a buff
falo taken from its neck, and before they
could reload their muskets ride them
down and lance or tomahawk them.
Fortunately for us there had come q
consignment of breech-loading carbines
from Germany, and We were armed with
them-the only soldiers i'm the Mexican
War who used breech-loading gun. They
were splendid weapons. Loaded with the
ordinary ounce ball at the breech, they
were choke-bore and when the ball left
the muZzle it was in the shape Of q slug
and carried from 300 to 400 yards. The
boys, used to firearms, soon got the hang
and the range, and were enabled to load
and shoot them five times q minute, and
with the precision of a rife.
Their failure to drive the buffalo
through our camp discouraged their plans.
Concentrating in the bottom, they started
for our line, uttering such yells as only
Indians can. Later we learned that it
was a war party Of Comanches and
Apaches, 500 strong; that they had at
tackled Capt. Loves company of infantry
short time before, on the Upper Arkan-
sas, and killed and wounded 10 of his
men and took all his stock
They had evidently been watching us
for several days and seeing that we were
raw men. they expected an easy victory
and great booty in the shape of horses.
Had they driven the buffalo through our
camp they would have had us at their
mercy.
As 1t was they expected to ride us down
after drawing our fire. As they APP
preached we opened fire at 300 yards and
again at 200 yards, and then shorter and
shorter range. We could hear our bull
let's strike their shields as though they
had struck plank fence.
Notwithstanding their shields, some of
our shots went home, and horses and men
came to the earth.
As they had never seen a gun which
could shoot more than once without re-
loading, they became frightened, and re-
treated. They rallied on rise i'm the
bottom and held council. We could hear
them shouting and yelling. Finally they
spread out with q front Of hundred OF
I'VE or six lines III depth. They were evi.
IDENTITY greatly exasperated over their fail
ure and loss Of warriors, and were bent
on revenge.
By this time the sun had risen, and we
could see their lances flashing In the SUM-
light. On they came, and it was sight

charge, each yelling his best! When this
occurred our Lieutenant shortened aud re-
