More About Reno.

O~RA"A 80 = WV
bud Agency, under date OF January
IA, contributes an article ON the Gus
ter Massacre which was published in
the Sioux City Journal last Sunday.
The editor of the LEADER knows
Captain Allison very we'll, as he was
a mem Der of the state soldiers home
while the writer was in command.
We frequently discussed that famous
massacre, and all the facts contained
in his Journal article had been given
the writer at Hot Springs.
Captain Allison has been with the
Indians most of the time since 1866,
and it was he who sent to Canada tC
induce Sitting Bull and his renegades
to return to this side of the line and
surrender, and he succeeded.
Captain Allison tells Of n Incl
dent in the charge made by Reno to
prove beyond question that the In
dams were surprised:
Sitting Bulls wife had twins and
in her fright at the advance of Reno
picked up one of the children and ran
to the bluffs. Some one asked her
where the other baby was. Thus re-
minded of her loss, she rushed back
to the camp and found the other
child unframed where she had left it
in the tepee, and that baby is alive
today and was named "Fled and
Abandoned" a living witness that
the Indians were both surprised and
terribly frightened.
We copy the following paragraph
from Allison's article and it is a hot
one:
zone man was responsible for the
disaster at the Little Big Horn. His
name was Reno, a nan whose very
memory stinks in the nostrils of hui
manity, whose immoral conduct was
the cause Of his discharge from the
army. Reno, after his discharge es-
tablished an office at Harrisburg, Pa.
l have been told that his law business
consisted of three suits in the police
court at Harrisburg. His first case
was in defense of himself, having
been arrested for beating his wife.
He could beat a sick woman but
could not face a Sioux warrior. His
second case was of like character.
His third case was like the ones pre-
ceeding it,. He was fined and placed
under $500 bonds to keep the peace.
He died in a hospital in Philadelphia
from ulcers of the tongue, superin-
duced by a nameless malady. This
was the end of Reno, a most fitting
one; the proper and rightful end of a
miserable coward"
A NOTE FROM GEN. whitaker.
General E. W. Whitaker of Wash.
ington, who was General Clusters
chief of staff during the civil war,
learned that the editor Of the LEADER
had been defending Custer against
Doane Robinson's Indian-Reno his
tory of that sad affair, and wants in
formation as to Robinson's founda-
ton for a defense of Reno. The Gen,
eral says:
81 was not with Custer after the
wal but l know all about that battle
from the Chicago court Of inquiry
and don't need to hunt ignorant In
dians to bolster up the drunken
coward Reno. l knew him and brand
ed him, as above ove my signature
in the press of this city,"
General Whitaker wrote a history
of General Custer covering his life as
a soldier and no man living today
knew Custer better than Wash
ington correspondent. He intends to
say something about the Little Big
Horn battle and 1t is safe to expect
something worth reading.

BY Moses. 10 brought great sorrow
to his heart to sec go many OF the
Jews conforming 10 the customs of

with them. and when Antiocbus Fnt.
