Capt. Fechet had his Hotchkiss thrown into
action and he dropped shell in front of the
ghost dancers, and then the command charged
down the hill
The shell had its frightening effect the
savages who held aloof though still pouring in
their fire, which answered by the soldiers
as Fechet himself took a rapid course to the log
house, with his life in his hands every step of
the way.
Inside the hut were found three of the Indian
POLICEMEN dead and three mortaly wounded. The
wounded, resolved exacting price for their
coming death, were still using their rifles against
the 'besieging foe The soldiers finally drove the
savages to flight
The few that were left living of the little force
of Indian police told this story. Lieut. Bull Head
had arrested Sitting Bull and had led the chief
from his cabin only to be confronted by hundreds
of crazed savages. Catchthe-Bear -and Strike-the
Kettle, two of Sitting Bulls men, strobe through
the Indian ranks, raised their rifles and fired
Bull Head shot through the body. Dying, he
turned quickly and killed Sitting Bull Strike-the
Kettle killed Sergt. shave Head. Instantly Po
liceman Lone Man killed Catch-the-Bear. Then

The Northern Cheyennes bad been sent to a
reservation in the Indian territory following one
of the uprsings against the whites. Their hearts
they left behind them in their old home and the
warriors yearned to return.
Late in the fall of the year 1873 the Cheyenne
braves. taking advantage of the temporary alb
sence of their soldier guardians, gathered to-
gether their women and their children and dashed
northward in the direction of the land where
their fathers had lived from the time back of the
beginning of tradition.
They had been told by the Indian agents and
by the soldiers who acted under orders. that they
never could take the trail back to the north
but they paid no heed to what told them, but
gathering their possessions they set out.
The Cheyennes love of home, natural and SYM
