which he will be longest remembered
was bringing the soldiers from Fort
Wallace to Beecher Island for the re-
lief of a brave remnant of troopers
which had for days been standing
of the marauding band of Indians on
that since famous battle-ground.
The Indians had been making so
much trouble in the eastern part of
what is now Colorado, that Captain
George A. Forsythe received orders
from General Sheridan to organize a
band of scouts and go after them
Flfty-one scouts We're started on the
expedition. AT a point on the Re
publican river, near what is now
Wray Colo, the scouts came in sight
of large band of Arapahoes and
Cheyennes under the direction of
Chief Roman Nose. 1t was seen that
they were greatly outnumbered. but
a defense was made on a little sandy
island in the river which has since
been known as Beecher, in memory
OF Lieutenant Beecher, who was kill
ed there.
Brought Soldiers to BccChcr Island
For days the Indians kept up
constant fire on the intrenched
scouts. 1t was 900 redskins against
tifty-one whites. Food ran out, am
munition was going It was decided,
after three had been killed and four
teen wounded, to try to get relief.

back. The next night three, with
Christy in the lead, slipped away.

succeeded in getting to the island.
The Indians fed at sight OF the
relief. Nine days the little band had
been fighting. They were eating
their horses when the expedition ar
rived under the guidance of Christy.
Scarcely one had not received seri-
GUS injuries. The scout had made
the hazardous, wearying journey on
foot, across Indian infested plains,
and at that carrying the wound of
an Indians arrow in his cheek The
scar of that wound remained with
him to his death.
The government has erected a
monument to Beecher and his com
rades; the name of Christy stands

records of that trying tragedy of the
