support. To accelerate their flight Capt.
DeRudio fired a couple of shots at them
from his pistol and one from my carbine.
The Indians six seven in number. had
been posted as pickets at the head of the
island. Here We were surrounded by In
dams well as water. We wandered about
the island looking for place to cross the
main stream. when I became SO tired and
worn out 1 asked the captain to let me sit
down and rest, my boots being full of
water and clothes dripping wet from going
into the river looking for a place to cross.
Day was dawning and I had just fin
ished wrnging the water out Of some Of
my clothes and was putting them on when
we were startled by the clatter Of horses
hoofs and the sound of voices. The In
dams were passing in front of US along the
river bank to attack Rene's command,
which we learned later was in the same
position he held the day before. We
tugged at our boots and got them on. We
peeped out from the clump of bushes in
which had hidden, when we saw col
umn of mounted men passing about 200 or
eco yards away, but it had not yet become
light enough to distinguish who they were,
and although they rode by in great num-
bers they were not near enough that
we could tell what language they were
speaking.
\
Seeing one of the men dressed in a
buckskin suit, the captain said: That
surely is Tom Custer I thought my
self. The captain called out: Hey, Tom
Custer. Tom Custer" His voice attracted
the attention of the Indians, for such they
proved to be. They sent volley of bull
lets after us, and how we escaped being hit
is a miracle. l am sure fifty shots were fired
at within fifteen seconds time. We
left the clump of bushes. and keeping it be-
tween us and the Indians and bending
low as possible so that our backs would
not be above the tall grass, we reached
another clump of bushes. In going around
it we met party of Indians face to face.
In fact, we almost ran into each other.
There were six or seven of the Indians all
in a bunch. They stopped so suddenly
that their horses were thrown upon their
launches. l knew the Indians on the hill
had been calling to them about US. but
they evidently did not expect to meet us
at that point

were wounded and it was dearly bought
water, but what relief it afforded


cat o'clock that night we left our hid
ing place and started out to find our COM
mand. We had not had any water to drink
all that day and had not had anything to
eat for forty hours. Reaching the river we
quenched our thirst and crossed. There
was not a sign of life. We started in the
direction We supposed our command had
taken; might have to travel several
days But after we had gone a mile or so
we heard a mule braying. which We thought
must belong to the command, and con-
cluded to go in the direction of that sound,
hazardous was the undertaking. If we
should come upon the command there was
danger of being shot by the pickets. and
If it was an Indian camp no one knows
what the outcome might have been. Crawl
ing up cautiously we heard of the
sergeants, whose voice We recognized, CIV
ing orders. We called to him by name,
telling him not to shoot and soon we were
with out command again. Sometimes
wonder if 1 really had that experience, or
il it was not a horrible nightmare. The
scout and interpreter reached camp ahead
of us.
THE Indians had retreated that evening
up the river toward the mountains. The
next morning Custer and his brave men
were found, all killed. about two miles from
u.s."

the thicket I met Capt. c. C. DeRudio. as
brave and as good an officer as ever carried
sword in the American army. Like my
self, his horse had been shot under him
and he had had a similar experience in
reaching the thicket. I was overjoyed at
meeting him. He told me there were two
other unfortunate ones in the thicket who
had been left behind. and took me to them.
One was a, half-breed scout. the other an
interpreter. The captain gave hurried
orders as to what we should do In case
the Indians made rush at US. which we
expected every moment they would do

Ing its course. Some underbrush concealed
us from the Indians. who were riding by
in the open not more than twenty yards
from The plain in front of US being
cleared of the warriors who went to fight
either Reno or Custer, the squaws came
out and picked up their own dead or
wounded. The soldiers they stripped of all
their clothing. cutting some of them with
their knives and mutilating them in every
conceivable way. The sight was sckening.
and we determined then and there to sell
our lives dearly as possible. For myself,
l had little hope of ever getting out alive.
. o'clock at night. when Capt. DeRudio
said we had better find the command If
possible, telling us that he never knew
Indians to fight at night. We had no idea
how Custer or Reno had Jared. We heard
terrific firing from the positions held by
each. For myself, 1 thought when the
firing had ceased by Clusters command he
had retreated to the position held by Reno.
I think il was about : o'clock when we
heard the last shots fired in the direction
of Clusters position, but Maj. Reno's COM
mand kept up firing at intervals. as though
charged up. until nearly dark, when all
firing ceased"

SCIENTISTS BUSY WITH COAL.
Trying to Remove the Impurities
Which Involv Ike.

Special Csblegram to The S:
LONDON, June 22.-Tac.. are many in.
stances in the history of mechanics and
chemistry Of two scientists working toward
the same end with corresponding results
yet unknown to each other. AS an instance
there is the well-known case of Harvey In
America and Ellis and Tressider of Browns
works in Sheffield evolving the system OF
carburising and chilling armor plates Now
there Is an equally important case as the
result of the research which has long been
in progress in order to make coal smoke
less when CONSUMED. Much has been prom
Used for coalite and there are those who
believe that this fuel when used for fac
tories and households in London and other
large towns will solve the problem of
smoke. IL not also of fog.
But it is equally interesting to learn that
some Glasgow chemists have been working
in the same direction with like success
and arrangements are now well advanced
by the Glasgow company toward the con-
struction of works in the coal district of the
midlands. as well as in the Lanarkshire,
for the treatment of coal in order to remove
the impurities which involve smoke, while
yet leaving in the fuel a very large pro-
portion of its caforic value.
At the same time the impurities, when
treated. are to yield important residual
results This course of constructing spe-
cial works has been preferred to the origi-
nal idea of granting to mine owners licenses
for the carrying out of the process now
perfected as the result of experiments at
one of the Scotch collieries. What interests
the public in these schemes is their prom
Use of ending one of the greatest evils of
our great manufacturing processes, and
the issue is being looked forward to with
unusual interest.
