Capt. Fechet had his Hotchkiss thrown into
action and he dropped a shell in front of the
ghost dancers, and then the command charged
down the hill.
The shell had its frightening effect on the
savages. who held aloof though still pouring in
as Fechet himself took 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 MORALLY wounded. The
wounded, resolved on exacting a price for their
coming death. were still using their rifles against
the beseging 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 was shot through the body Dying he
turned quickly and killed Sitting Bull. Strikethe-
Kettle killed Sergt. Shave Head. Instantly Po-
liceman Lone Man killed Catch-the-Bear. Then
the surviving policemen sought shelter in the
cabin and held of the ghost dancers as has been
told
With the Rosebud, Standing Rock and Pine
Ridge Sioux. who went on the warpath in De-
cembcr, 1890. were few stalwart warriors of the
tribe of the Northern Cheyennes. That the Chey-
enneS braves were so limited in number was due
to the fact that IL years before the nation exied
and longing for its old home. had met with prac-
teal humiliation in the attempt to regain it.
The Northern Cheyennes had been sent to a
reservation In the Indian territory following one
of the uprisings 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 abb

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 thew
never could take the trail back to the north
but they paid no heed to what was told them, but

the death of the great Sioux chief Phanthro-
pists in the east who never had seen an Indian
tepee insisted that Sitting Bull was murdered and
that the blood of the savage was upon the head
of the nation.
1t was left to Col Edward G. Fechet, now pro-
fessor of military science at the University of
Illinois. to learn the truth of the shooting of Sit
ting Bull and to give knowledge of it to the peO-
pie. Col. then captain) Fechet made one of the
hardest rides known to the troops of the plains
before he secured the facts in the case of the
passing of the great Sioux chief to the happy
hunting grounds.
Sitting Bulls home was in log hut the
Standing Rock Indian reservation of North
Dakota. In the summer of 1890 he gath
cred many of his braves about him
and told them in picturesque Sioux language
that Messiah was to come who would lead the
Sioux nation to victory; that the whites would be
annihilated; that the buffalo would come back.
and that the red man would once more take pos
session of the earth.
Through the medicine men Sitting Bull worked
SO upon the feelings and the superstitions of his
warriors that they came to believe that by wear
ing certain garments which were called ghost
shirts their bodies would be safe from the bullets
of the soldiers.
When Gen. Miles learned of the teachings of
Sitting Bull and of their rapid spread, the chiefs
arrest was ordered. Accordingly Indian police
led by Lieut.. Bull Head and Sergt. Shave Head
were dispatched from Fort Yates to arrest the
chief at his log hut miles away. Capt Fechet OF
the Eighth cavalry was ordered with his COM
mand consisting of two troops and, il memory
serves, two light field pieces to make a night
march to Oak Greek, about Is miles from Sitting
Bulls house, there to receive the prisoner when
he was turned over by Lieut.. Bull Head.
Capt. Fechet and his men reached the rendez-
vous at 4:30 a. m. on one of the coolest mornings
of a Dakota December day. There was no sign
of the Indian police, nor yet of the scout which
Bull Head was to send in advance to inform
the cavalry officer OF his coming. ....
Fechet's soldier instinct told him at once that
there must be trouble. His men had had the
hardest kind of night ride, but they were will
ing. and he pushed forward rapidly. After he
had made several miles he was met by q scout
who was riding like mad. The runner told Fechet
that all the Indian police who had gone to arrest
Sitting Bull had been killed by the ghost dancers,
and that there were thousands upon thousands
of them fully armed and in their war paint ready
for battle.
Fechet looked over his small command and
ent ahead at full gallop. his only thought being
to save such of the policemen as might be alive,
and giving heed to the other thought that
ahead of him might be overwhelming numbers
IF the savages and the fate of Custer. 1t was
terrible ride from that time on.
When the morning was a little advanced the
men of the command heard firing. which seemed
to come from different points On they went
