Fort Laramie on the Platte river
which serves the useful purpose of

previously notified the scapegrace that

because it ought to be saved, but for
reasons previously stated, and he

was now so pronounced that it needed
but one bold, determined man to take
the lead to make such an uprising as
would have ended the awful crisis
without awaiting the conclusion of
the captains councillor the runner
was now half way back. Then the
chief captain sprang abruptly to the
center of the enclosure and he was
not a fourth of minute too soon.
All eyes were fixed upon him and not
a soul batted an eye or drew breath
as he proceeded to say in a firm
voice:
This man deserves to be punished,
not only for the wrong he has done
the squaw but for the trouble he has
brought innocent people into. If It
was to be long term in prison or
even death itself by civilized means,
we might as Christians consent to it
even if we didn't order it. But to
order or consent to what the Indians
do to him, will not, neither shall
you. If we did, how do we know
that the devils out there would let
us go? And the encouragement it
would give them and the contempt
they would feel for us would make
them do worse than is in their infer
nal hearts to do now. We have moth
ing to gain by giving up to them and
we are not going to. With all Of his
faults, this man is one of us; he start
ed with us, and has always done his
part and more too of the camp work,
the guarding and herding. No matter
now what he has done, he is one of us
and we can't and won't afford in the
face of common enemy TO turn
against him. Let them call off their
dogs and then we will deal with him,
but we won't do it while they are as
much against any of us as him. We
can't stand it to help them do Their
awful work, tell you, and weaken
ourselves at the same time. We will
give the devils such no as will make
them understand that we mean what
we say, and then be ready to show
them what kind of defense white
men can make when surrounded by
wild beasts on two or four legs. Put
the women and children in the wag-
ons, get your guns in position for &C
ton where they can see them, and
we'll come through this all right"
Perhaps this is not fair reproduc
ton of the Captains speech, but
whether so or not, it was the manner
more than the matter that counted.
The camp couldn't afford to divide
against itself and help the Indians in
the work of massacre, and it realized
all at once that that was just what
would happen if his commands were
