Up UNE 10, 1869, under General Eu'
gene A. Carr, saw us hunting for
a band Of Indian dog soldiers"
% who were, like the Irishman's
flea, here, there and at times every.
where.
Nebraska, Colorado and Kansas were
all excited over the doprcdntlOns of
these rcncgadcs, They had murdered
right ana left, had captured several
hundred mules and horses and destroy
ed wagon trains, rs 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-A Alderdicc,
whose husband and children they had
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 skrmishcs, and General
Carr decided to use some strataGcm
to see If we could not get them in a
tight place. He consulted with me,
and after Il day of continual skirmish-
ing and a night attack he ordered
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 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.

south Of the Platte river and among
