ically criminal. that the rank and file
and the officers of the labor move
ment, are responsible either legally or

racks in Lincoln valley They went
from here to Fort Bridger and then
eastward, escorting wagon trains back
to the states. At the bridge at Fort
Laramie they had severe engage
ment with Indians, and at Plum
Creek, on the Platt river, found the
charred remains of IL Transfers who
had been staked to the ground and
burned under the wreckage from their
wagons. While reconnoitering the
adjacent bluffs the soldiers heard a
woman's voice cry out several times,
and in ravine they discovered six
Indians and two young white women
in a quarrel. Four of the Indians
were killed and the other two taken
prisoners, and afterwards court-mar-
tailed and shot. These women, the
only survivors they could find of the
massacre, were sent to their former
homes in Missouri and Indiana.
Mr.. Wooddell's worst injuries dur
ing his term of service were the re-
suit of his horse rearing and falling
back on him during drill near Fort
Bridger, and in addition to his suf-
ferings from this source he has had
rheumatism resulting from exposure
during the campaigns.
With some pension money he pur-
chased SMALL farm in Highland

them he came again to the Snake
