ally wheeled myself in the saddle and
shots broke the leg of one OF their
horses, which left its rider hors(e) de
combat. as the French would say.
Only seven or eight Indians now re-
manned in dangerous proximity to me.
and as their horses were beginning to
lag somewhat l checked my faithful
old steed a little to allow him an OPP
portunity to draw an extra breath or
two. / had determined, If it should
come to the worst, to drop into buf-
falo wallow, where l could stand the
Indians off for awhile. but i was not
compelled to do this. as Brigham car
ried me through most nobiy.
The chase was kept up until we
came within three miles of the end
of the railroad track. where two COM
panies of soldiers were stationed Tor
the purpose of protecting the work
men from the Indians. One of the
outposts saw the Indians chasing me
across the prairie and gave the alarm.
In few minutes l saw. greatly to my
delight, men coming on foot, and cav
alrymen, too, galloping to our rescue
as soon as they could mount their
horses. When the Indians saw this
they turned and ran in the direction
from which they had come. In very
few minutes l was met by some of
the infantrymen and trackmen. and,
jumping to the ground and pulling the
| blanket and saddle off Brigham. ! told
them what he had done for me. They
at once took him in charge, led him
| around and rubbed him down so vigor-
ously that l thought they would rub
him to death.
Captain Nolan of the Tenth cavalry
now came up with forty of his men,
and upon learning what had happened
he determined to pursue the Indians.
| He kindly offered me one of his cav
airy horses, and after putting my own
saddle and bride ON the animal we
started out after the flying Indians,
who only few minutes before had
| been making it so uncomfortably live

! began shortening the distance between
| ourselves and the redskins. Before
| they had gone five miles we overlook
| and killed eight of their number. The
others succeeded in making their es-
| cape. On coming up to the place
| where / had killed the first horse-the
| spotted one-on my "home rum
| found that my bullet had struck him
in the forehead and killed him instant
| ly. He was q noble animal and ought
to have been engaged in better bust
| ness.
| When we got back to camp l found
old Brigham grazing quietly and con-
tentedly on the grass. He looked up
at me as If to ask IL we had got away
with any of those fellows who had
chased us. believe he read the an

IA and the Indian commissioners
81 who were to make Il treaty with
the Arapahoes and Comanches in
southwestern Kansas came TO Fort
Zarrah, on the Arkansas river. From
there they were to go to what WAS
known as Council Springs, distance
of sixty-five miles from Zarrah. Be-
tween ZaTah and the Springs is a flat
level country, but no water is to be
had. Consequently there was no water
carried save for drinking purposes,
which was carried in canteens in the
ambulances, for the generals orders
We're that he would leave Fort Zarralr
at 2 a. m. Sc as to get good start
over this dry country.
Our chief OF scouts and guide at that
time was Dick Curtis. The outfit was
composed of three ambulances, with
saddle horses for the general and In
dian commissioners, and when the gen
eral and commissioners were riding in
the ambulances their saddle horses
were led by orderlies. The general
had three or four staff officers, com
pany of cavalry as an escort and about
thirty scouts and messengers well

General Sherman, riding bY my side,
asked me many questions"
we were not going In the direction of
the Springs: that we were bearing too
far to the west.
He said: why don't you tell the
general this? He is up there in the

that l was not guiding General Sher-
man; that Mr.. Curtis was the guide
and that l had no right to interfere
with him whatever, nor did I intend
to do SO. This young officer q have

alongside the ambulance and told the

took deliberate aim at the Indian and
his horse, hoping to hit one or the

eighty yards from me at this time,
and at the crack of my rifle down
went his horse. Not waiting to see
if he recovered, l turned Brigham,
and in moment we were again fair

had urgent business about that time
