others to lead on were without avail.

"a war would be incomplete with
~ out giving an account OF the
campaign Of 1876 against the
northern Sioux and their allies from
the south, the Sioux and theyennes, an
affair known as the Custer campaign
The catastrophe that overwhelmed the
gallant General Custer and his brave
command was an episode that will.
live forever in Indian history.
In the summer of 1874 General Sher,
idan sent two expeditions into what
was known as the northern country
He sent General Custer with the SeY'
enth cavalry from Fort Abraham Lin
coin to scout ip the north and north
west of the Black Hills and to return
through the Black Hills back to his
post. At the same time he sent Colo
mel Anson Mills from the department
Of the Platte leaving the Union Pa
cific railroad at Rawlins, Wyo., on an
expedition to scout the SweetWater
country, the Big Horn basin and Big
Horn mountain country and to return
by way of the Powder river country
back to his department. ! was sent to
guide Colonel Arson Mills expedition.
The two commands, one under Custer
and one under Mills, came within com
municating distance in eastern Wyom-
ing. on the Powder river. the two com
manding officers and scouts meeting
and holding a consultation. This coun'
try was then comparatively unknown,
except to the scouts, hunters and trap
pers.
Mills marched from Rawlins to
Independence Rock, on the Sweetwater
river. where he made supply camp
and left his wagons. General Custer
continued on through the Black Hills,
exploring it in every hole and corner
and then returned to Fort Abraham
Lincoln. This meeting Of the two
commanders was the last time l ever
saw the general 1t was on Custer 8
expedition through the Black Hills that
the old timers assertions Of its wealth
In gold were confirmed and practical
ly demonstrated. Therefore, although
the governments intention was to keep
out invaders Of this section (many OF
the first being arrested by the mill
tary), the efforts were failure. for
the rush became so great as to render
it impracticable to arrest 1t. This
brought about irritation on the part OF
the Indians During rs and '76 the
whole Dakota nation. the most power
ful Indians and their allies. listened
to the harangues of Sitting Bull and
other medicine men to prepare to go
on the warpath. to gather their best
horses and secure all the ammunition
and long range rifles they could.
General Sheridan, in view of the
situation and the gathering Of war
riors in the northwest, commenced
massing the United States troops in
Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1909-03-19

the different departments adjacent.
General Alfred Terry, who was in
command Of the department Of Dakota
and the station at Fort Smelling, was
to send the troops in his department
to Fort Abraham Lincoln, to take the
field from there under the command
of General George A. Custer. General
John Gibbon, who was in command of
the department CT Montana, was to
take command of the troops In his de-
partment, move down the Yellowstone
and form a junction with them. Gen
eral George A. Crook, in command OF
the department Of the Platte, was or
dered to take the troops from his de-
partment and proceed north by the
way of Fort Laramie, Fort Fetterman,
old Fort Reno, old Fort Phil Kearny.
This latter command was the one
accompanied. 1t might be mentioned
here that during the preparations GER

partment Of the government, both for
army and Indian supplies, had attract

interest. threatening to bssnirch per-

They all died In the proper military
formation.
mile back from the Little Big Horn,
Custer decided to take this as q stand
point. He sounded the recall and tried
to make this hill. He had to turn his
back while doing so. The Indians are
never so brave as when they get any
ones back to them. On their retreat
to the hill half of his men were killed.
The rest took up positions, but the In
dians, being so elated at killing so
many of his men from the Little Big
Horn up to the hill and the failure Of
Reno to attract the Indians continual
ly coming down the Little Big Horn,
almost all the fighting Indians concen-
trated on Custer and fought him to
death.
Fighting desperately to gain a point
higher up. no doubt, he was. however,
compelled to dismount his men and
act on the defensive. Unable to ad-
vance or retreat and probably unwill-
ing to do so, he must have based his
actions on the diversion that the other
commands would make. Steadfastly
believing this from later Indian ac-
counts, they fought coolly. hoping and
expecting for re-enforcements which
never came, but succeeded In keeping
up the fight for some time. The In
dians, we'll armed and in overwhelm.

speed, kept up a continuous and ef.
fective fire, while skirmishers and
marksmen crawled through the grass,

Reno was still lying on the hill, al
though they could hear the reports Of
firearms below, and notwithsta nding
that Benteen, Weir, French and others
continued their appeals and that the
echoing volleys cried for assistance he
remained there until all was silent, the
Indians eventually killing Custer and
every one Of his gallant band. Reno
was kept annoyed by the savages until
the arrival Of General Terry and Glib
bons command, while on the second
day the Indians set fire to the grasses
to cover their movements with smoke
and drew off. Afterward a visit to the
battle scene told the story Of Clusters
last battle, showing that every one had
at least done his duty and, though de-
feated, was not disgraced. They all
died in the proper military formation,
every officer at his post and every man
In line. Clusters body was found, and,
although all the others were mutilated
or scalped, his body seemed to have
been untouched except by his death
wounds, this being a tribute from the
savage foe to his courage and gallan-
try. His brother. Captain Tom, and
his brother-in-law, Captain Calhoun,
with nephew, were among the slain,
making an unusual family affliction.
The bodies Of all the officers were
found. with the exception OF DR.. Lord.
Lieutenants Porter, Harrington and
Sturgies and some ten men. The lat
ter's fate has never been known
whether they were captured and tor
tured or whether their bodies had been
thrown into the quicksands near the
bed Of the Little Big Horn. It, is not
clear, the only certainty being that
they were dead. Two hundred and
twelve bodies were buried on the hill,
the losses to the regiment being in
two days 265 killed and So wounded, 50
per cent Of the command!

CURTAIN HINTS
Decorative Borders
Give Good Effect
to MiR3doWs.

There is fashionable decoration
that should be helpful to the woman
who must fit short curtains to new
windows.
This Is the idea Of having deep dec
orative borders on fabrics of solid
COLOR,
New curtains are made In this fash
ion and sold at expensive prices at
the shops that make u speciality Of new
things.
A shllful woman can accomplish the
same result, hut, mind you. stress is
laid upon the adjective skillful. A
woman who hasn't u clear idea of
color and who hasn't the Unborn knack
Of getting things right with scissors
and needle, should turn the work over
to the woman who has this power.
Mant a seamstress has II whose work
costs little.
Separate borders can be bought at
the shops with surprising ease by the
woman who knows how to root out
the artistic thing. They do not come
for curtains as rule, but they serve
admirably.
The foundation color is usually deep
tinted, although some good patterns
can be gotten with the foundation in
natural crash tones. These are usu-
ally the best to work on. They go so
well with almost any other cover.
The designs on these borders are
Egyptian, Byzantine, or whatever
name suits best these formal lines in
vivid colors.
They can be put at the sides, bot
tom and top of short, narrow curtains.
and one is surprised at the effect,
They not only make an old curtain
OF use, but they give it new character
and style.
These borders can be used as a
plain or plated valance. This fashion
has widely returned In decorating
rooms, and although II keeps out light
TO certain extent, 1t gives finish to
the top of the window.
Often the effect. without valance,
is bare. This is especially so when
the window jamb is deep and wide.
There is another fashion of using
teninch borders across the tops OF
windows and down the sides with
pane curtains that are set deep In
the window embrasure against the
glass.

Valuable coneh Shells.

The conch shell is highly prized In
India. In many OF the temples they
