Gen. Custer sent Charley with us
and he kept us with two companies

meat we could use on the trip. On
that trip, we went to a point now
called Huntley, 80 miles above the
Big Horn river. Gen. j. w. For
sythe was in military command.
In his report of that trip, the Gus
ter expedition was arranged for the
next summer, and no doubt all of
your readers are familiar with the
results. {"

When we joined the army which
had marched across from Ft. Lin
coin, Dr. Porter and Charley came
on board the boat. Charley had a

giving him lots of trouble. DR.. Por-
ter had him stay with me on the
boat, but his hand got no better,

indian SCOUTS OF THE EARLY day.
The "reminiscences Of Captain Grant Marsh the Heroic
Steamboat Captain Of the Custer Massacre.
Anent Capt Foeys Statement that Alleged Custer Scout
Named MCGEE Is a Fraud.

EDITOR TRIBUNE: In a recent
issue Of the Tribune, I noticed a
letter from Capt. Foley in reference
to an article which has appeared in
several papers about one McGee,
who claims he was a scout under
Gen. Custer and carried the last
dispatch to Reno. Capt. Foley
speaks my sentiments when he says
that McGee is fraud. I had the
honor to be with every Indian ex-
pedition from Gen. Sully's in 1864
when Ft. Rice was built, until 1882
when Gen. Miles had whipped the
whole Sioux nation and had located
them on agencies. I.served under
Generals Sully, Stanley, Custer,
Tully and last under Gen. Miles.
While I never knew much as to the
members of the members of the
army, I was in the position to know
the duties Of a scout as / would
often have to take them up and
down the river with their horses
and to cross them in their business
of locating the hostile Indians.
I had an article in the Tribune
last summer stating that I had
known only two genuine scouts and
they were Yellowstone Kelly and
Buffalo Bill. My excuse in writ
ing you now is about one Of the
best men in that business that I
ever met. This was Charley Rey--
nolds, Clusters fayorite scout. Ny
reason. no doubt, for not mention.
ing. his name with the other two
was that while Charley was a fa-
nous scout, he was also the hest
hunter that Lever saw, and when
we explored the Yellowstone in 1875
to see if it was manageable iii order
to supply the army by waterway.
The Washburn leader., 1905-03-25

on Madden, the doctor called to
Charley that an Indian was shoot
ing at him (the doctor) and as he
turned to look bullet struck Char
ley and killed him instantly. There
were never two men who have taken
the chances with the Sioux Indi-
ans and knew their habits as we'll
as Joe Taylor and Joe Dietrich.
They could also tell all about the
long haired frauds that called them=
selves scouts.

Barns Burn in Lively Blaze.

The ,nefficiency Of the Ritzville fire
equipment vas again demonstrated last
Sunday afternoon. Barns belonging to
DC. Barronett and T. W. Hauschild and
horse. which was the property OF G.
W. Proctor, were consumed in the lively
blaze on the south side. All the hose
carts responded to the first alarm, bu,
before water connections could be made.
due to scarcity Of fire plugs in that
locality and lack of knowledge as to
their whereabouts by those directing. the
fire had gained such Roadway that It was
only possible.to allow the structures to
burn. There were two horses in the
building which first caught. one being
saved. badly burned on one side and on
the neck. The origin Of the FIRE is
