Scene Like 40 Years Ago.
The historic battlefield has been
arranged as nearly as possible like it
was on the memorable Sunday, June
%, of 40 years ago. An Indian vii
lage of about $50 tepeeS has been
pitched and between 1000 and 5000
Indians are ready to take part in the
celebration.
At the mouth of the Rosebud on the
Yellowstone, Terry's column met Cen

west with six companies of the Sew

Cavalry. From here, on June %, Gus

The Indians Story.

Dr.. A. MEG. Beede, Episcopal mis-
, sionary to the Indians, who is consfd
cred one Of the best informed men
on the intimate customs of the 1ndi
ans, has taken great pains to get the
red mans story of the terrible mas.
acre, which left no white survivor.
The story as told by DR.. Beede is
as follows:
The Indian scouts knew where the
white troops were, but had no idea
they would attack Custer, evidently
realizing this. divided his troops in
an attempt to fool the red men, send
ing Reno to attack them from the
lower end, while he with the rest Of
his force made detour further east.
and charged them from the upper
end

at did fool them. When Reno at
tackled they thought that he had all
of the troops. He crossed the river
and took stand in the thicket, but
when the Sioux attacked him he re-
crossed the river.
Just at this instant word was
brought to Chief Gall that Custer wi;:,
half the troops had circled around
and was attacking from the other
side
Capt. Porter's company had attack
ed the lower ford and crossed the riv-
err when this news was brought to
Chief Gall. Gall left part of his troops
to keep Reno from rcrrossing, and
with 400 trained men went down the
river between the Indian tents and
the water to head Custer off. Custer
saw Gall coming and saw that Reno
had turned back. He ordered the re-
treat blown
Gall Orders Charge.
The Indians with Gall thought it an
order to charge. instead Of move to
bring Porter's company back. Rain
in-the Face carried the news to Gall

that it was retreat and Gall ordered

that it was a retreat and Gall ordered
charge.
Custer drew his men up in circle
on the fiat, dismounting his men
every fourth man holding the horses
At this point an old Indian without
orders from Chief Gall went out with
white flag, to meet Custer. The
great commander, believing it author.
fzed, went out to meet him. Suddenly
while the old Indian was telling Gus.
ter of his mission, urging peace, the
Indian fighter turned and saw the In.
dams crossing the river from the west
and getting in his rear.
Peace Farley Ends.

declared, your men are trying to sur
round me. The Great Spirit will not
give any blessing to such dishonesty"
With that the peace parley ended
Call, with his men charged upon
Custer. Following the Indian habit,
they rode with their ponies as a bar
ricade, with one leg thrown over the
back of the horse and holding on to
the name by the teeth, firing oyer the
horses back or under his neck.
Smoke Settled Over Troops.
There was little breeze that morn
ing and by this time feather would
not flutter. Custer fired once or twice
and black powder cloud of smoke
settled over his gallant troops. All
the Indians had to do was to fire into
the smoke.
"The Indians were better armed.
Custer had short carbine rifles; the
Indians long range rifles.
Attempts to Retraee Steps.
"Custer could do nothing but at
tempt to retrace his steps and join
Reno. Benteen, seeing that this was
his plan, also took steps to join Reno.

"Rain-in- the-Face harangued and
said that they had killed Custer In
half an hour; they could take Reno

battle up until dark and renewed It

Fortifcations Save Reno.
Reno's troops, strongly fortified
with cracker boxes, dead horses and
earthworks thrown up by the en-

the warriors. They give the credit

BIG OIL FIELD LIKELY,
Geological Survey Tells of Condi-
tons in Park County. Texas.

Suggestion that a big oil field might
be found in Park county, Tex. is made
in a bulletin issued by the geological
survey.
The county" says the bulletin, as
underlain by several sandstones that
form good reservoirs for oil and gas,
and by other rocks of the kinds that
are regarded as the sources of oil and
gas. Precisely the same geologic for
nations that underlie this AREA con-
tain oil and gas in many OTTER areas,
some of which are not far distant, vet
scarcely a deep we'll has been sunk
within the county. Throughout most
of the county these rock beds have not
been uphe&ved or tilted about SO as to
permit al: the oil and gas they may
have contained to escape. In some
places, particularly in the western part
pearance of being broken or faulted,
but even in these places they may not
be SO greatly disturbed that they can
not contain oil or gas. A moderate
amount of disturbance favors both the
formation of oil and gas, and their ac-
emulation in well defined and large
pools. Another favorable Circumstance
is the fact that the strata farther weHt
are In general much more nearly hori-
zontal than those to the east, where
the general dip is comparatively steep.

EXEMPTS D. A. R. PROPERTY

of the Daughters of the American Revou-
ton in the District of Columbia upon
which is located the Memorial Continental
Hall. Senator Smith of Maryland. chair

port to the Senate
The bill places the property of the D. A.
K. in the same category so far as ex-
emption from taxation is concerned as
church and school property.
Senator Smith will introduce in the
Senate at the first opportunity bill
regulating the practice of podatry
similar to the measure which has been
introduced in the House. He said to-
day that he believed the bill should
be enacted into law, insisting that it
was great mistake to make it posi-

tific knowledge and training. Blood

AGREEMENT NEAR
ON U-BOAT ISSUE
All German Parties Expected
to Be Satisfied Except

Deliberations on Submarine Matter
Still Are Kept Strictly
Secret.

BERLIN. March 31-The delibera
tons in the reichstag ways and means
committee over the various submarine
resolutions still are being kept strictly
secret, but from small bits of informa
tion received it appears safe to predict
that a complete agreement will be
reached which will satisfy all the par
ties, with the possible exception of a
few extremists, and that there will be
only harmless debate on the subject in
the reichStag.
The session of the committee is I'M
derstood to have been replete with full
and frank discussion, and to have con-
WINGED even the severest critics of the
government that nothing was being
neglected which was calculated to aid
in bringing victory to Germany.
The members of the socialist party
who recently seeded have issued d
brief declaration in reply to the party 3
pronunciamento, issued yesterday, de-
nying charges of disloyalty and breach
Of faith, and requesting the members
of the social democrat party ito work
further along the lines laid down by
our party statutes and to fulfill the
duties to the party imposed by mem
bership."

ers will approve the stand taken by the
