back with orders to Captain, (now
Major) Tom McDougall, to bring the
packs. AS have already stated,
Custer did not cross the river. The
Indians met him on the ridge where
he and his troops dismounted The
historian say that over 500 soldiers
were killed in the Custer massacre,
whereas Clusters and Reno's men,
all told, lacked a few of being 800.
1t is true that Custer sent back
orders to bring the packs, but it was
not Entrusted to this new historian
for those orders were given to
Trumpeter. Martin, who made the
ride and delivered them. Trumpeter
Martin would have returned to his
command, but Genral Benteen, who
was a gallent soldier, saw that it
was impossible for him to reach
Custer, and Martin remained with
him. Martin is now living in New
York. He served 80 years in the
United States army. It was he that
received Clusters last orders.

Another Sad Mistake.

"The old North Carolina soldier
says Reno was half a days march
from Custer. He was never more
than an hours march from Custer
at any time, but ON that particular

him in a lifetime for there were too
many Indians between the two COM
mands. The Indians saw the sold
iers when they came out of the hills
early in the morning and were wait
ing for them, instead of occupying
their tepees, as one of the new his
torians would have us believe Had
the Indians known that Capt. Tom
McDougall was coming with the pack

met the same fate as Custer. The
Indians were nearly out of ammuni-

that he is coming out to the head
of the lakes this summer.
Another false report is that the
horse Comanche, which survived the
Custer fight, though desperately
wounded, was General Clusters. This
horse belonged to Capt. Keagh. The
animal was taken to Fort Lincoln
and orders were given that no per-
son should ever sit on his back again.
Comanche thereafter was led out to
all dress parades, and was all at
tention. He would snort at the sight
of an Indian.

Explodes Newest Custer Story.
Mr.. Berry's attention was called to
story that emanated from Los An
geles lately which said General Gus
ter shot himself; that he rode a
white horse, and when the battle had
clearly been lost, he rode away with
the Indians in pursuit, and though
he seemed to have a fair chance OF
getting away, he shot himself, while
\ still in the saddle.
Those statements" said Mr.. Ber-
ry, are false. Every year about
this time some new and startling
dope Is given out for publication on
the Custer massacre. The great
fight is fought over every year by
writer's and I presume that this will
be done for ages. "A new historian
hobs up this year, a captain in the
army He tells us that Custer
marched along the Little Big Horn
river, and fired into the Indian camp
across that stream. 1t was the sig
nal for battle, he says, and the In
dians poured from the tepees by the
hundreds. This new historian would
lead US to believe that Custer took
the Indians by surprise. 1t is we'll
known that Custer never reached the
river: and it was impossible to fire
into the Indian camp on the west
/ side Of the Little Big. Horn, from
the point where Custer and his men
dismounted and made their stand

the Indians, after his men had been
defeated. Custer was not of the
sprinter breed, and was too brave a
man to use his last cartridge to de-
stroy himself. General Custer fell
with his men and his body was found
at the site of the monument that has
been erected on that bloody field.
