Il had been gone about a half
hour when Harry Martina, who

in Reno's camp in a short space

General he started with his men
to the scene of the massacre, and
on arriving there we found the
dead and mutilated bodies of all

entirely wiped out, save we two

We found one man and his
horse lying some distance from
the battle-ground. The poor fell

GENFRAL CUSTER'S MASSACRE.
The Terrible Battle as Described by one of the
Only Two Men who Escaped With
Their Lives.

T. W Golden, g resident Of Kan
sas City, claims TO be one Of the
only two surviving members Of
General Clusters branch of the
army, which was wiped out so
cruelty in the famous Custer
massacre by the Indians in the
Big Horn river valley in Montan-
ns, on June %, 1876. Mr.. Golden
says there are hundreds Of men
who have claimed to be survivors
of the awful massacre, but that
they we're not in the fight, His
story follows:
Il was born in Wisconsin in
1855, and joined the Seventy q.
S. cavalry in 1873. going with the
regiment on the Northern Pacific
expedition in that year, and the
following year into the Black
Hills in South Dakota. From
1874 TO 1876 / was with the regi-
ment in South Carolina, and in
the winter of 1876 we we're sent
to Join the army which was to
march against the Indians, who
we're unwilling to stay on the res
creations, and make them abide
By the law Of the government. /
was under Gen. Custer.
THAT was when the country
was experiencing SO much trou-
BILE with the famous band of In
dams under the command Of Sit
ting Bull That and other such
bands we're in the practically
organized army of Indians who
would not obey the law, and it
was this army that we were to
try to round up. We learned
when we reached Montana that
the Indians were up in the Little
Big Horn valley, or headed that
way, and therefore the army was
divided into three divisions-one
under General Terry, one under
General Crook and the other I'M
der General Clifton. Terry's
branch was to take the trail up
the Big Horn valley TO do the
fighting with the red men.
Gen. Custer was in charge Of
the Seventh cavalry, under Gen.
Terry. He had been ordered to
strike the Yellowstone river
about at the mouth, and there
ind a steamer of supplies. The
country was new then, and we
struck the river about twelve
miles above Powder river, where
We went into camp. Major MA.
Reno with five companies had
gone out on scout, and the bal
ance of the army under General
Terry had pushed down Powder
river to the mouth. We fixed
the pack train at Powder river
and got ready TO leave the wagon
train there, TO be guarded by
many soldiers. Clusters branch
then pushed up to the mouth Of
the Tongue river, where Miles.
Mont, is now located, and there
We ran across Major Reno. He
had discovered a trail OF Indians
leading to the valley Of the Big
Horn. This was reported TO
Custer, who broke camp and
went up the river and overlook
Terry and his men near the
mouth Of the Rosebud.
"A council was held and Custer
was ordered to take 1000 men
and go after the Indians in the
Big Horn valley, the commanders
thinking at that time that there
we're not more than /, 200 Indians
in the valley. He divided his
army into three divisions. One

At the recent Des Moines music festival
in which the Thomas orchestra was the
chief feature, Mr.. Sidney SLIDER was the
piano soloist. The Western Musical Herald
speaks Of him as follows:
Sidney SLIDER, the solo pianist of the
first evening. scored a veritable triumph in
the Beethoven Choral Fantasia, written for
piano. orchestra, solo and mixed chorus.
He was recalled repeatedly in answer tc
deafening applause, and finally repeated the
choral portion of the very unique and inter-
esting work.
The announcement that Mr.. Sidney SLIDER.
the well known pianist whom Des Moines
has been pleased to claim during the last
year, is to leave the city, has been re-
ceived with universal regret. Mr.. SLIDER
has been, during the last year. head of
the plano department Of the Des Moines
Musical college and has won the highest
recognition as a pianist. musician and man.
Mr.. SLIDER has been very successful in his
position here, but has accepted a position
at the head of the piano department Of the
University School Of Music, Lincoln, Neb.

Chicago, and whore he feels that his oppor-
