envy, because it is harder to hit a man
going sideways than coming straight at
you. They ride closer each time. This
is the way they did Custer. 4.- .. SCI. .
"Benteen's and Reno's men about this
time heard two heavy volleys. They
did not know then that they were, per-
haps, a distress signal. Nor did they
know that the scattering shots which
they heard afterward were reports from
the Winchesters of the Indians. who
were shooting into the dead bodies of
Clusters men. Soon they themselves
had to make defense against an attack.
1.-THE Indians, having done up Custer,
now came in fury against Banteen and
Reno. The Sioux completely surround
ed the whites, but the whites had dug
rifle pits and intrenched themselves be-
hind their dead horses. The Indians
fought until dark and withdrew. In
their attack they killed or wounded
seventy men.
''That night the soldiers slept on their
arms. All now began to ask: Where's
CUSTER The sentinels heard a wild
din in the Indian village below; they
saw the light Of bonfires, Some guessed
that the Indians were having a scalp
dance and feared that the red devils
We're torturing prisoners.
The next morning at dawn the Indi-
ans came back again and attacked Ben
teen and Reno. But during the night
the whites had used their knives, and
tin cups and dug more pits and could
stand them off. But they were begin
ming to suffer for water The river was
mile away. Now, it's not a good
thing to show the white feather to the
Indians, SO Reno let Benteen order an
attack. Every man left the pits but
one This fellow was scared, and cried
like a baby. But the Indians were too
strong and the soldiers soon had to
hike back to their holes. Bullets from
the Indians Winchesters split all
around, but the only one that hit any
body put the lights out for the fellow
who was afraid to leave the pits.
Here's where Curlie, the Grow Indi-

got all around Custer, Curlie saw that
it was all off; so the first chance he got
he nipped a blanket off dead Sioux
and made a sneak. The Sioux thought
~ + s.E a.
that he was one Of them, and let him
get away. Curlie went to the mouth Of
the Little Big Horn, where General
Terry was waiting with several hundred
men. At first Curlie could not make
Terry understand. But after awhile he
got some sticks into the river. Terry
then knew that something had hap
pened to Custer.

Terry let Curlie lead his force back
to the battlefield. Meantime the Sioux,
hearing that Terry was coming with
more troops, skipped.
The reinforcements did not stop long
at the Custer battlefield They did not
know but that the Indians had also
killed the rest Of Clusters command.
There was great rejoicing at the
bluffs when Benteen and Reno saw
white soldiers advancing. They
thought that Custer was coming. When

ployes Of the New York, New Haven

men had canvassed the principal BUSH
ness houses Of the town pretty well,
and when arrested they were soliciting
funds in one of these.
On their arrival at police headquar-
tiers they gave the names Of John Her
bert Haskell, alias Graham, and George

long in Providence. Graham says that
he lives at "Elmwoods." on Potter ave-
