ANOTHER STEAM PLOw sWINDLE


Nearly two years ago we reported
the actions OF a shyster who sold q
steam pillow outfit to 0. 3. Wells Of
Darlington, taking bis money and
notes before delivering the outfit, and
then shipping him a weak engine that
never did him any work except at q
heavy loss The notes were sold to
a bank and OF course had to be paid.
Wells lost his farm, and the man who
sold him the outfit is still running at
large. II al rs
Another case now comes to light
at nixon In which J. L. Olson sold an
OUTFIT to Thomas Richardson for SIS n
10000, and received the notes be-
fore shipping the machinery. He then
sold the notes to the bank and forgot
to ship the outfit at all.
Richardson has kept officers on
the track OF the swindlers all fan ana
has followed them through several
states. Last week Olson was nabbed
while changing cars at Ogden. and
was brought to P0catellO for trial.
Olson had partner In the deal. and
he is still enjoying his liberty, but
the officers are On his trail.

Suddenly to the great astonishmen1
of the soldiers, their foe began t
withdraw and move back down tt
their village. The next thing. the
white men saw was dense clouds oil
smoke down in the valley. The In
dams had fired the grass to 'concea
their movements, and all afternoon
remained hidden from view. Tt
quote from Reno again: 1T was be.
tween 6 and Z p. m. that the village
came out from behind the dense
clouds of smoke and dust. We had
close and good view Of them as they
filed away in the direction OF the
Big Horn mountains, moving in al
most perfectly military order. The
length of the column was fully equal
to, that of large division Of the
cavalry corps of the Army OF the
! march"
Another night they lay on the hill
and the next morning 1.-THE 27th) they
| sighted a cloud of dust down the val.
| ley which announced the approach OF
marching column. AT first they
thought 1t was Custer returning, but
when the new arrivals reached their
camp they proved to be Gen. Terry Is

their way to join Custer. 1t is now
plain why the Indians had left so un-
lexpectedly; their scouts had seen Ter
Try coming and knew that he had
wheeled guns (artillery) with
him.
After the first joyful greeting, an
expedition Immediately started to find
Custer Following his trail for about
three miles, they reached gap In
the bluffs where he had gone gallop-
ing down to the river, and then turn
ed back. Why he did not cross here
and attack the village, no one knows;
| but 1t was probably he encountered
such an overwhelming force Of war
riors there that he was compelled
to turn and make for the hills as
Reno had done. His trail leads right
back to the high ridge, along the
top Of which he halted and fought II

burg will at once be struck with the

the field ten years after the fight. The
rains and winds of ten seasons have
shrunk 1t to scarcely more than hall
size.
For perhaps mile along the ridge
are the white tablets strewn. In
places they stand In regular battle
line, while here and there they are
scattered down either side OF the
slope In groups of two or three Many
OF them stand In pairs; no one has
been able to account for this. Per-
haps each man paired off with his
"bunkie" and fought back to back
with him to the death. Occasionally
an isolated stone far out on the field
tells where some trooper made des-
perate break for liberty, only TO be
ridden down and Drained with war
clubs (the Indians state that they
did most Of the killing with clubs. j
Out near the big monument, looking
down toward where the Indian village
stood, one sees group OF some thirty
graves couple Of hundred yards
from the main position on the ridge.
This would indicate a desperate
charge straight at the Indian strong
hold, for one would hardly contem-
plate an escape In that direction.
Down behind the, ridge, in place a
cavalryman would select at first
glance for his horses during battle,
stand some fifty tablets In regular
line. These men must have had
charge OF the horses. for the old cav
alryman at the agency told me that
they found this gully packed full OF
dead and wounded horses. One horse,
"Comanche,'' survived his wounds
and remained the pet of thetregiment

became famous in song and stcry.
