stacked, soldiers lourge about and
two sentinels pace to and fro. A
stage coach leaves the camp for the
mountains with four soldiers AS a
military escort While passing thru
a dense thicket, the coach is suddenly
surrounded, brought to a stop and
captured by band of prowling In
dian. who have been lying in ambush
Two of the soldiers are killed and two
wounded and finally bound. The
driver is taken prisoner and scalped.
A civilian escapes and reaches the
camp IN saftey. The Indians return
to their wigwams with their booty.
Amidst great rejoicing bonfire is
made and war-dance ia held. From
the camp of the regulars, two scouts
are sent to reconnoitre, detachment
of soldiers follows, steals upon the
Indians, but fails to rout them as
purposed. The soldiers. unable to
drive the Indians from their strong
hold, return to camp. Two squads
now advance as skirmishers, but are
driven back by the angered Indians.
The second platoon is ordered out to
force the Indians to retreat. They
are. however, only partly successful
and retreat in defeat. The Red
Gross now attends TO the wounded
and dying. The entire company now
advances as skirmIshers and attempt
to surround the rebels. After heavy
firing, they feign retreat, draw the
runaway Indians from ambush, fai!
upon them from all sides and after
fierce hand to-hand struggle, compel
the rebels to surrender. At the call
of the bugle, the dead suddenly res
urect and the company "falls in."
Under the strains of grand military
march, the entire company marches
in triumphant proce ssion around the
battle field.
