department.
While there, Boston Custer and
I became great friends. When we
were ordered to separate on June
22d, the cavalry went out in pursuit
of shostile Indians which the scouts
had located, and the boat was to
meet the cavalry at the mouth of
the Little Big Horn river, fifty-four
miles up Big Horn river, if the river
was found navigable, if not, to- re-
main at the junction Of the Yellow
stone and Big Horn rivers in order
to furnish them with supplies. The
18th Infantry was to march up the
north side of the Yellowstone to the
junction of the Big Horn and Yellow
stone, the boat to meet them there
and take them across to the south
ssae,. which we did. AS I~saidss
Boston Custer Or Boss as he was
called, and I wanted him to stay or
the boat with me until we met the
cavalry, which he had consented to
do. At noon that day, we were to
send the mail back from there and
Boss said to me II will go in your
Office and write letter to my mother
before the mail closes" He wrote
his letter and then went out to the
tent to get some tobacco and that Is
the last time I saw him, for some un
known reason. he changed his plans
and accompanied the illfated cavalry,
going past Gen. Clusters tent |
the General called me and said "Poss |
has told me that he is going with |
you, but I am afraid he will eat you |
out of house and home" I am sure
the general wished Boss to 20 with |
me but I was never able to find out |
how Boss happened to change his |
plans. AS started to say, at noon
we were to send the mali to Buford
a sergeant of the 9Th Infantry, named
Fox, and two soldiers were selected |
to go with the mail. They were to
make the trip in a skiff down the /
river, but not knowing how to han
die the skiff, and the current being
swift, the skiff turned over before
they had gone very far, and Sergeant
Fox, and two soldiers were drowned |,
and the mail lost. There was a
large accumulation of mail, which
had been collected since the army
left Fort Lincoln, and in it was the
last letter that Gen. Custer had
written to his wife, also the letter,
Boss had written his mother. I Or
dered my men to search for the
bodies of the soldiers and for the
mail, the officers told me that they
recovered as the current of the river
was very rapid, but had grapplers
and boat hooks and kept at work,
and we were finally rewarded in
finding the mail but none of the
bodies. OF course, the mail was all
wet but we spread out all the letters
OA Rl11S s22{uppCl uCShf GILL nI2Cu8S thSu1,
and not letter was lost Perhaps.
it might be well to explain the. rea-.
son for sending the mail in skiff,
as it. would take q small army to.1
carry it overland on account of the.
Indians, with the skin they could run
at night, and hide in the willows and
timber during the day, and Ia that
way escape the Indians.

to give the cavalry supplies, which
were to meet us at the point. Capt.
Baker of the 9Th Infantry, was in
military command of the boat with
his company on board. He is the
man who built the building where
the Merchants State Bank is now
located in Bismarck With lots of
hard work and by using the steam
capstan to pull the boat over the
many rapids, we reached the Little
Big Horn safely. When we arrived
there, we could see no signs of any
one ever being there, Capt. Baker
decided to remain there; no doubt
it was his orders.
We were there just two days when
just at daylight, the sentinels on
duty called "Indiansr' All hands:
Nsera not leng INJECTING out. When
the Indians came nearer to the boat
we could see a white man ahead of
them pursued by the Indians, both
he and the Indians were counted.
The white man reached us safely.
He was Muggins Taylor, scout sent
to find the boat after the battle and
had the boat not been there, the IN
dams would have surely captured
him in short time. He told US of
the fate of Custer and his men. Two
soldiers of the 7th Infantry came
the next morning at daylight and
told us to prepare to take care of
the 81 wounded which they were
trying to get. to the boat. The next
night the 7th Infantry arrived with
the wounded and after taking them
aboard, we started for Fort Lincoln.
One of the men died and we stopped
at Powder, river to bury him. We
also made short stops at Fort Ruford,
Berthold and Stevenson and arrived
at Bismarck about dark, having made
the trip in forty-four hours, the
quickest time ever made by any
western steamboat for like distance.
We remained at Bismarck over
night; here DR.. Middleton relieved
the hero, DR.. Porter, who had be-
come about exhausted, as he had
been on duty day and night attend
ing to the wants of the fifty-two
DR.. Lord, and DR.. De-
Wolf were killed in battle; also Mark
Kellogg, who was correspondent of
the Bismarck Tribune He was my
guest on the boat on the trip up the
river until two days before he was
killed. Capt. McCaskie, Lieut.. Cur
ley and Lieut.. Burns also came
aboard, DR.. Middleton, all old timers
at Bismarck no doubt know them
we'll. We started the next morning
at daylight for Fort Lincoln, After
we landed, the officers above men
toned went to all of the officers
wives who. had lost their husbands
with some excuse of which / never
knew, got them all to meet at Mrs.
Clusters house and told them what
happened. There were twenty-eight
widows, including officers and sol
diers' wives. Such a scene was
never witnessed, men, women and
children came running to the boat
crying and wanted to learn the fate
Of their husbands, sons and brothers.

We have heard uf burning
clay until IL got as hard as a
brick! IT macadam costs too
much, why not mix and burn
some Of the dirt ON the road
in say bricks of II foot square
and three inches thick and
Iny them instead Of mac'idam.
This is being done success
fully. Look after the road
from your gate to your next
neighbor's toward town.
Keep on grumbling about
the roads all the year around,
but show that you mean it by
stopping long enough every
little while To put in II good

E. j. Blosser Says It's a Good
Subject TO Talk Up.

T.. j. Blosser. Of Blosser.
recently told us 10 give the
gpd roads question u little
space, believing IL IL vital
matter. The subjects avery
important one, but very little
remains to be said about il
except that II you want u
good road, stop talking and
get io work. Yet, since we
are not wealthy enough to
own II road.drag, nor for
tunate enough Ia have Il team,
we must content ourselves
with talking. We hope
though our readers will read
this articles as though IL is all
written IN italics.
Flrst-are the roads bad?
Republicans and Democrats
all say yes.
Srcond-if the roads are
bad. what will we do? Again
all agree and say, fix them"
But then condition this by
saying it's the other fellows
business or they pay taxes
and ought 10 have good roads
etc. etc. All this kind Of talk
avails nothing, and the fact
remains that If you want to
have good roads YOU must
make them good. Here's
where we want 10 impress II
taought or two.
The road drag is undoubted-
ly the best, easiest and cheap
est method for the dirt roads
don't neglect it.
Broad.tired wagon wheels
will make the road better in
stead of cutting them up, we
are told-adopt them.

MARSHALL MUST ACT
The City Must Face an Unde-
niable Condition.

We are told that about one.
fourth the houses of Marshall
are vacant and while this is Il
guess, 1t is an undeniable fact
that a great many are vacant.
A count from the Republican
office south on Lafayette show.
ed eleven vacant hotists out
of a total of about 40. These
houses would ordinarily be
occupied by II desirable class
of citizens. The reason is
that the people have mostly
left for places where they can
find employment.
These vacant houses mean
"A cash loss to Marshall of
about $4,000 II month. The
"what can we do" policy is u
poor Que. No matter how big
or how little Il city is, its poo.
pie must work in harmony for
its improvement if the city
would thrive.
The electric railway would
be nhappy solution. II would

way in sight now. The col
lege is doing much towards
populating the city, SO are the
schools and colony. But they

pected of them for II while.
Factories are almost out OF
the question. We have neith-

One solution would be- to
advertise Marshall as "A resi-.
dence city. But before that
can be done successfully We
must he II united people of
one mind. Political prejudice
must be laid aside and there
seems TO be no indication that
this will be done.
So we conclude that there
is at present only one way
out for Marshall aud that is
the electric railway and realiz'
ing the crying need Of II con-
bined effort for the city, we
hope no man will hesitate Ia
give this enterprise his best
support.
