Business Men Favor Biz
Celebration for
Roundup.
MAY CELEBRATE ON JULY 3
Matter viii Be Turned Over 70
Commercial Club or Fair
Association.

AS far as The Record has been
able to ascertain, the business men
of Roundup are heartily in favor of
a big Fourth of July celebration,
and are anxious that the matter be
brought before the people. 1t is
only about seven weeks until the
nations birthday and high time
that something be done if we wish
to properly observe the day here
this year.
The general sentiment seems to
be that the matter should be turned
over to the Commercial Club or the
Roundup Fair Association. Either
one of the bodies is in position to
take charge Of the celebration in
good shape and carry it thru sue
cessfuly. Subscriptions should be
solicited at once and steps taken TO
iIIdIlSc II program.
AS the Fourth comes on Sunday
this year, the celebration will have
to be held on the previous or follow
ing day. AS Harlowton and Mussel-
shell have decided to celebrate on
Monday, it appears that Roundup
will have to jump in little ahead
Of the game and observe the day on
Saturday.
A rousing Fourth Of July celebra-
ton is Of great advertising value to
a town, and the citizens should CO.
operate in making it a big success.

Capture of JEFF Davis.

Editor National Tribune: see in The
National Tribune of Feb. q, 1908, a
letter from James M. Blood, 1st Wis.
Cav. ON the capture of Jeff Davis. He
says they had been after Davis week
before the 4th Mich. Cav. left Macon.
AS to that 1 cannot say, but this 1 can
say of truth. We left Macon before
daylight on the morning of May 8,
1866, and we marched about 40 miles
under sealed orders. Co.'s Pritchard
then read the orders, called lis together
and told us the orders were to capture
jeff Davis dead or alive. A cheer went
up from every man. We did not stop
to go into camp, as the lst Wis. did,
but went on, and between and 3
o'clock on the morning of May 10 we
had Davis's camp surrounded and his
horse was saddled and Hitched near his
tent, ready to mount; but everything
was in our hands, and Just as it was
breaking day the 1sto Wis came onto
25 of our men who were giiarding that
side of the camp, but they dld not drive
our boys a rod. He says we were three
days making 100 miles. off The 1st Wis
had replied to the challenge 81 our men
there would have beeh mo trouble, but
they did not. We didt not Know of any
reward being offered SntiPs we were
taking Davis back to Macon. We had
one man killed and two wounded in less
than "a hours from the time we left
Macon. Davis was a prisoner. We had
no appointment with Herndon to meet
at Abbyville. When we learned what
we were after we went ana got it. We
never went after anything we did not
get.-A. A. Braley, Sergeant, Co. B,

THE BATTLE OF wHITEsTONE.
A Victory of the Greatest Importance to
the Northwest.

Editor National Tribune: The battle
of Whitestone was fought Sept. 3, 1868,
by Gen. Sully's command, composed of
the 9Th Iowa Cav, two battalions of the
I'd Neb. Cav, two troops of Dakota cav
airy, one troop of Sioux City cavalry
and a small battery of mountain howit-
zers, against a band of Indians es-
timated at 5000, having at least 1000
warriors. The Indians, under Chiefs
Big Head, Little Crow and Two Sticks,
We're completely routed and sent panic
stricken over the hills. Compared with
a battle of the civil war it seems only
a skirmish; but when we consider that
our soldiers had never been in battle,
that they were fighting the most savage
tribes of the Sioux Nations, the Mime
conjaS and WepakOtas, part of whom
were in the Minnesota and northern
Iowa maSSacres of the previous year,
fighting them at time and place of their
own selection, the victory of our forces
seems the more signal. Consider, too,
that they were plains Indians, perfect
horsemen, good shots, and that killing
was with them regular line of busi-
ness. Then consider the great, the mo-
mentous issue at stake on the loss of
this battle, the probable massacre of a
great part of Sully's troops, who were
hundreds of miles from civilization.
Imagine the condition of the border
settlements had the redskins gained
the victory! They would have been 50
impressed with their own fighting pow
ers that the Government would have
been forced to send double the force to
save the frontier from the raids and
depredations of the hoStileS. .
The Whitestone Hill fight was the
first act in the great drama of the Sioux
war, which took the great Generals of
the civil war and half the Regular
Army to bring to close. in which the
great cavalry leader, Gen. Custer, and
his troops were massacred and Gems.
Candy and Thoraburg We're assassinat-
ed. Yet Gen. Sully and his brave little
command put up a good fight against
these fierce fighters for three years.
Now the State of North Dakota is
erecting a handsome granite monument
on the battlefield. 1t will be dedicated
some time in October. The Governor
of our State and many leading citizens
will be present. Many letters are being
received by the Commission from sur
yivors of the fight, and quite a number
promise to join in the exercises Pro-
gram OF the exercises will be published
as soon as the day of unvailing is de-
cided upon.-H. +. Eaton, Secretary of
Commission, Oakes, N. d.

a case that came under my own obser-

N. W. Byron Briggs was his name.
He said many times that no rebel bullet
would ever kill him, but after arrival at
Charlottesville he said: Il am going
to be killed in this battle"

regiment took part in quite heavy

killed, including our Lieutenant-CoIo-

Huntington. w. Va. The comrade calls
attention that the SD Pa. was at the
battle of Cold Harbor in June, 1864

they are not included in the list for
free transportation to the dedication OF
the monument there Oct. 20. In answer
I will say that there were 79 Pennsyl-
