night for the relief of the Indian scouts who
had been sent out to arrest Sitting Bull, and
who, after killing that chief, were beleaguered
in a small hut by his followers. Fechet took
an ambulance wagon and Hotchkiss gun with

In the year 1879. when the Utes succeeded
in getting some United States troops into what
was afterward known as Thornburg's rat
hole" several mounted couriers succeeded in
slipping through the circng line of savages.
All of them reached Merritt's column, 10 miles
distant, in less than "a hours. The exact time
not taken, for. as Col Dodge puts it, res
cue was of more importance than records
II must be understood, of course that all
these American rides were made without
changing horses. The steed at the start was
the steed at the finish. The best rider, accord.
ing to cavalry experts, is not the man who
takes fve-barred gate or who can ride stand
ing but the man who by instinct feels the
condition of his horse. and, though getting the
most out of the animal, knows best how to
conserve his strength.
Gen. Lawton in the year 1876, rode from
Red Cloud agency Nebraska, to Sidney in the
same state a distance of 1876 miles, in 20 hours.
He was carrying important dispatches for Gen.
Crook. and though the road was bad his mount
WAS in good condition when Lawton, looking
five years older than he did the day before
handed over his bundle of papers to the black
bearded general.
Gen. Merritt has a forced march record that
has no American parallel when the conditions
Of his Journey are considered. He was ordered
in the fall of 1879 to the relief of Payne's
command. which was surrounded by hostile In

empty cartridges at their Sides telling mutely
the story of a desperately heroic defense. The
detachment had joined Terry and the story OF
the Custer massacre was told.
The whole country to the northeast and
the south was swarming with the Sioux not
yet stated with slaughter. To the southeast
200 miles away, near the headquarters OF the
Powder river, in the Territory of wyoming,
lay the command of Gen. Crook. 1t was i'm
peratively necessary that the situation OF at
fairs just south of the Yellowstone should be
made known to the general commanding the
southeastern forces.
Between Terry and Crook was an unbroken
wilderness inhabited only by wild animals and
wilder men. With Terrys column were six
tried scouts and plainsmen. They knew every
inch of the country, every trail, every hiding
place in the mountain spurs and every patch
of timber on the plains. To these men were
ntrusted the dispatches of the commanding
officer, with instructions to carry them south
eastward to the camp of Crook. The scouts
started on their journey Inside of eight hours
all of them were back and the report to Terry
was that no man could attempt the journey to
Powder river and live.
In F Company of the Seventh infantry was
a private named James Bell He had acquired
a knowledge of the country in the campaigns
in which he had served against the Sioux. His
knowledge. however, was but a 1.-THE of that
held by the plainsmen and his acquaintance
with the ways of the Indians was as nothing
