evening, and we were enjoying refresh
ing breeZes. A detail had left the fort
to water the government herd Of
horses and mules in the nearby Platte
river when shots were heard. Every
one was on his feet in moment. for
it was learned that party of Sioux
Indians had dashed from the cotton
wood trees. shooting, shouting and
waving blankets. and had stampeded
a herd Of about 400 animals. The In
dams had killed two of the herders and
wounded another Some of the herd
ran for the corral, where they were
accustomed to go for the night but the
Indians got away with about 2G0 and
started for the bluffs south of the fort.
All was excitement, but, as was my
custom, I had my war horse. "Old

fea, here, there and at times every

Nebraska, Colorado and Kansas were
all excited over the depredations of
these rencgades. They had murdered
right and left, had captured several
hundred mules and horses and destroy
ed wagon trains, as we could tell by
the trail of some shod animals. What
Intensified our desire to punish or cap
ture them was the fact that they had
some white captives-Mrs. Alderdice,
whose husband and children they had
Killed, ana 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 uGc some stratagem
to see if we could not get them III a
tight place. He consulted with me,
and after a day of continual skirmish-
ing and a night attack lie ordered a
retrograde movement, which created
a good deal Of discussion between the
officers ard 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

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 had surmised, they were head

south of the Platte river and among
