a FTER the Custer massacre Gen
A eral Miles was left In com.
mand on the Yellowstone and
erected huts for his troops and
stores, which were brought from the
Missouri river by wagon. He built two
posts, n on the Tongue river and one
on the Yellowstone near where is now
the city of Glendive. AS o % as these
were completed, instead of waiting fol
spring and summer, be Immediately
planned to keep up activity against the
red foe.
The Indians greatly annoyed his sup
ply trains. and on one occasion the
train had to return on account of the
strength of the Indians. This reused
the generals Ire, and instead of the
demoralized teamsters be equipped 1t
with soldiers as such and fighting men
to accompany them. Sitting Bull him
self notified Colonel Otis that he must
not travel that way, and Miles got aft
er old Bull and overlook him at Cedar
creek. The willy chief sent q flag of
truce, as he wished to pass the winter
comfortably and wanted permission
to hunt and trade on condition that he
did not attack the soldiers. But Miles
would not temporize. He sent word
that there was only one peace, and that
was by submission. During this flag
Of truce they tried to trap him in the
way In which General Candy lost his
life In the Modoc conference in '73, but
Miles ''coppered" the game and told
Sitting Bull: an take no advantage of
you under a flag Of truce. You have
fifteen minutes to get back to your peo-
pie and fifteen minutes more to accept
my terms or I'll commence fighting.
Either you or l have got to be boss
of this part Of the country"
Although the country swarmed with
Indians and no reply had come, Miles
attacked them with such vigor that
they left many Of their dead on the
field, which they never liked to do, and
continued a hot pursuit for over forty
miles, compelling them r. abandon
food, lodge poles, camp equipage and
ponies. Eventually 400 lodges and
1900 Indians surrendered and were
sent to their agencies.
Sitting Bull and his hostile cronies
left the main body and escaped north
ward, where they were Joined by Gall
and some other chiefs. This bitter ex-
p~erience was an establishment to Sit
ting Bull and the Sioux, so that 1t left
that section free from their immediate
~depredatipns- After q return to -
Tongue river post and a short rest the
determined commander made up an
expedition to follow Sitting Bulls
trail northward. although 1t was oblit-
Grated by deep snow and the winter
had opened with great severity, even
for that region. The suffering of the
troops was intense. A month after
ward Frank Baldwin and the troops
under Miles overlook and hammered
old Bull on two occasions and made
1t so warn for him In such a cold
climate that he took refuge over the

Canadian border. General Miles v
made application for permission from
the two governments to follow him to
a finish, but for some reason the high
er authorities did not permit it. Sit
ting Bulls influence had always been
ably seconded by Gall as a fighter, and
here l want to say that everybody in
the know recognized Gall as n Of
the bravest and earnest of fighting
men that history has produced, white
or red. On n occasion, in a fight
with the troops, he was shot down and
ridden over by the cavalry, and 1t is
stated that IN infantry soldier, in the
excitement Of the moment and to as
sure his death, drove his bayonet clean
through his body and left 1t there, ac-
tually pinning him to the ground. His
ueath seemed assured. Afterward a
rainstorm came up, which revived
him, and he eventually crawled of in
the darkness and lived to lead the ff-
ing line In the Custer and Reno fights.
