there to the next water. We decided
1t was best to keep continuously on the
Job and as the Indians must make
some stop to rest and eat we could
overlap them. When the horses were
rested, and as we had nothing on hand
to eat to delay us and had had moth
ing since dinner the day before, u
best possibility for a meal was to over
take the Indians, surprise them, whip
them and capture what dried meat
they had.
After leaving the creek the Indians
began their old tricks in trying to hide
their trail by devices well known to
me, but 1 paid 10 attention to this,
knowing what must be their next stop
ping place, and l was as familiar with
that part of the country as they were.
Straight on we kept to the Springs, ex-
cept that occasionally we went out Of
the direct line to keep in low places
between the sand hills so as not to be
seen. At 8 o'clock that night we halt

back and said: I have seen the village.
1t is over a ridge, away from the river
valley We had not seen the trail for
some time. They had followed an old
custom Of trailing along the ridge
where we had dismounted to cross it
and going over the high ground, so
that any N following them would be
visible from camp. Cody's idea was
to get around, beyond and between
them and the river. He changed
horses quickly and went on, and took
to the gallop for several miles through
the deep sand and got to the top Of a
sand hill or mound. Some Pawnees

to be silent until my return. Before l
left, half of the tired men of the little
band were slumbering. One hour later
Ii had seen the camp, just as | expected,
in fancied security, believing that we
could not be within a days march of
them.
Crawling back till ] could hoof it on
the run, l found the boys as l had left
them. Quietly they were called to sad
die up, instructions were given, men
were detailed to pay particular atten-
ton to recapturing and rounding up
the herd, and others were instructed as
to the attack on the camp. l estimat-
ed the Indians to number about thirty,
and there were forty-two of us. Ten
were to creep up to the sleeping In
dams on foot and be ready to work in
open order. Twenty, besides the lieu
tenant and myself, were to charge on
horseback. The rest were to bring up
the remaining horses, attack the herd
ers and round up the entire herd. We
attacked at break of day, and the
whole scheme worked well. The tired
lot were surprised when awakened to
meet their foes. Nine of them were
sent to sleep forever. Many had kept
their war horses near them, and,
hastily mounting, they escaped with
several picked horses from our band.
Among them was one of my favorite
war horses, Powder Face, which one
of them who probably knew him had
appropriated for his own use.
As soon as the fight was over and 1
saw that we had captured some of
their herd as well as our own l saw
that Powder Face was not with them,
but l recognized him half a mile away,
his rider heading for the hills. This
made me hot, and, knowing that the
Indians would think others we're fol-
lowing me, l dashed after them. Old
Buckskin Joe soon began to gain, and
l got zeal enough for a shot. My first
shot killed the horse that an Indian
was riding alongside of Powder Face,
and his rider was o 0 up behind In
the usual manne they try to save a
warrior, riding backward. shooting at
me with his revolver. Powder Face
was as swift as Joe. Being In the
rough sand hills and having a double
weight to carry, Joe In a few minutes
got me near enough for a good shot.
l kept closing on them, as l did not
want to hit my old friend Powder
Face. When l thought 1t Ire as they
were riding up over a mound | fired.
The Indians fell, the one bullet going
through both. and when Powder Face
heard my voice he ran toward me
whinnying, and. with two of the boys
who had been ordered to follow close
behind me by the lieutenant, we re-
turned to the camp in high glee. They
found a lot of dried buffalo and deer
meat and some fresh antelope and deer,
with accompanying pepper and salt
and copious drafts of spring water, so
a few minutes rejoicing was had. A
detail was quickly made up to bury
the dead, and as we had but three
slightly wounded and five horses
knocked out the enthusiasm can hard
ly be described.

killed, and Mrs. Weigel. whose hus-
band and family had also been mas
sacred, and these two women were
known to be still alive and with them.
AT last we got on their trail and had
almost daily skirmishes. and General
Carr decided to use scsne strataGem
to see IL we could not get them in a
tight place. He consulted with me,
and after a day of continual skirmish-
ing and q night attack he ordered a
retrograde movement, which created
a good deal of discussion between the
officers and men at the time. Appar-
emily abandoning the pursuit, he re-
tired as If going back to the fort, and
In two or three days, as he surmised,
the Indians were nowhere to be seen,
having come to the conclusion that
we were ~disheartened and that they
could with impunity take a little re-
pose themselves. This was exactly
what our willy commander desired, as
he intended to retrace his steps and
catch them sleeping. So, being sure
that there were no Indians in sight,
he packed all the grub possible on the
mules, burned the wagons and i'm
pedimenta and Immediately started to
make forced marches in their direc-
ton.
AS I had surmised, they were head
ing for Summit Springs, a few miles
south Of the Platte river and among
the sand hills, which formed a beau
tiful little oasis. as 1t were, for a
camp ground. Striking their trail by
judging from their daily campfires, we
made In one day the same distance
that they made In three, but when
near the Springs, as we saw the trail
getting fresher, we covered four Of
