HOW CUSTER AND HIS MEN
DIED THIRTY YEARS AGO

killed with Reno's men when that com
mand fed for the hin on the other side
of the little Big Horn, was left in the
valley with the other soldiers. who had
also lost their mounts. During the
day De Rudio made a number OF
moves to reach Reno's men. Each
time so many Indians were in sight
he knew that to try to get through
in daylight meant sure death. About
! midnight he crossed the river, climbed
the hill and Joined cis comrades. De
Rudio says the firing where Custer
and his soldiers fell lasted thirty min
utes. Coming from the direction
where Custer and the Indians were
engaged, he could hear every shot dis
tinctly as the sound follows the river
out there. You can hear the artillery
plainly when fired at Fort Custer, some
fifteen miles away. The time consum-
ed In the battle, seems, therefore, to
be settled by the word OF those who
took part or were within hearing dis
lance.
Sitting Bull, one of the most famous
Of American Indians. has frequently
been mentioned In connection with the
death OF Custer and his men. The
part he played in the battle and the
events leading TO it have been the sub
ject Of much misstatement. The med
icine man did no actual fighting While
L was going on he was down in the
valley making medicine. The night
before he had told the Indians that
they would defeat and kill all the SOL
diers on the morrow. When the noise
of battle ceased he hurried to the field.
and when he arrived at the spot where
the monument now stands, he was as
tonished to find the troopers all slain.
and to see the Indians busy stripping
the bodies of clothing and boots.
After they had finished that savage
task they made ready to attach Reno
and Benteen. Sitting Bull advised
against this. and in an address told
them to repair to the village, and
dance and celebrate their victory
which they did. This talk was made
in the presence of Gall and Rain-in-
the-Face, at Standing Rock.
To put at rest an oft repeated as
sertion, 1t may be we'll to say that the
Indians did not consider Sitting Bull
a coward. They imagined he was
working wonders with his medicine:
but still II is frequently stated that
fear kept him away from that fight.
/ knew the great medicine man well,
and never considered him coward,
although / have seen Indians fail to
obey him. AT council at Standing
Rock, Sitting Bull ordered his clans
men to take George Faribault, son
of the founder Of the city Of that name,
and throw him into the Missouri
river. The Indians did not obey. Had
Chief Gall given that order it would

In descriptions Of the battle num-
Der of soldiers are mentioned as rum
ming toward the timber. These were
met by Rain-in- the-Face and his
band, and every one OF them killed be-
fore they reached the point where Gus
ter was dismounted. Among these
soldiers was one man who did not
wear a uniform. The first living thing
that fell in that skirmish was the horse
ridden by Rain in the Face, but not
an Indian was killed. strange as 1t
may seem. The daring, dashing charge
that Crow King and his Indians made
on Custer evidently left the cavalry
men in bad shape for fighting.
Not much fame attaches to that
charge. The Indian has no papers

Indian historians don't seem to
know much about Crow King.
Why did that greatest Of Indian
lighters, General Crook, retreat on
June IL, when he fought about half
the Indians that crushed Custer and
the Seventh cavalry on June rs?
Very true they had the leadership OF
the greatest Of Indian generals. Again,
how was IL that so few Indians were
killed in the Custer fight? Those In
dams were preparing for over a year
for just such fight. Thousands OF
them were pitted against a few hum
dred men.

would not stand idly by and see any

D. F. Barry Of Superior, wis, has
the following in The Duluth News
Tribune:
June rs, 1S76.-Thirty-f1 years ago
the Custer fight took place in Montana,
on the Little Big Horn river. In re-
cent magazine article we are told the
Indians slept late that fatal morning,
that they had been celebrating their
victory over General Crook and his
command, they having forced them to
retreat on June IT. We are also led to
believe that Custer took the reds by
surprise
Captain Varnum, however, says he
saw some Indian scouts the night be-
fore the fight, at a distance from where
the Seventh cavalry went into camp.
On the tenth anniversary of the mas
sacre, on the Custer battlefield. Chief
Gall shed light on this question. and
how the battle was fought. He told
us that he (GalD, Crazy Horse. Rain
in-the- Face, Crow King. Circling Bear,
and other noted chiefs crossed the
river to fight Custer. Gall was asked
how he knew that the leader they
were attacking was General Custer.
Pointing to an opening in the hills.
off In the distance, he told us that he
saw the soldiers come out at that
point early in the morning, divide and
start in three directions. one body
going toward the right, another coll
umn taking the left, and the third
marching down the center. THE sol
diers marching toward the right threw

Gall, "and we decided that Custer was
with that bunch" They knew it was
the main force. Captain Tom Nc
Dougall, with one company, in charge
of the pack train, was some distance
behind, and the Indians did not, notice
him, but according to Gall, they observ-
ed the movements Of three distinct
columns long before the battle. The
soldiers were evidently marching rap
idly, as they reached the Little Big
Horn sooner than the Indians had ex-
pected.
Much has been written about the
battle itself. A recent article as
serted that the detached soldiers heard
firing for hours. Chief Gall stated
that from the time the first shot was
fired until the action was over not
more than thirty or thirty-hve minutes
had elapsed. The Indians were in
great force, and no better warriors
could be found anywhere, once they
had made up their minds to fight.
Their impetuous onslaught and over
numbers swept over Clusters
command and left 1t dead.
OF the short duration OF the con-
hict there is ample evidence. aside
