rAmODo AGD OOOOl 4
Whitecloud, Pamunkey chief, has
returned to the hunting grounds of
his fathers according to news dis
patches. He is now at Pamunkey,
Virginia reservation, where he ex-
poets to spend his last days in peace,
after troublesome career. w. W.
Johnson,of this city,while in Miles City,
Mont, last October buying sheep,
met this old Indian and had an inter
esting talk with him.
whitecloud, now 70 years old, left
Virginia in 1871, going to Fort Riley,
Kan, and later to Colorado, where he
was employed as scout for Colonel
Joseph Hooker, of the Ninth United
States Cavalry. After serving more
than two years with Colonel Hooker,
Whitecloud was transferred to the
COMMAND Of General Custer, and led
his brigade up the Platte valley to
the battle Of the Little Big Horn
Whitecloud, known then as Gilrard,
escaped through the cunning Of his
horse.
MIR. johnson met a man recently
who was with Custer shortly before
the fatal battle in which his entire
command with the exception of the
old Indian was entirely wiped out by
Red Skins. This old soldier says
Custer was very cold blooded. In
giving an instance TO substantiate
this statement he told Mr.. johnson
that Custer had a man tarred and
feathered for stealing a shirt.
