Custer with the main body of the
soldiers was contending with the In

men were successful in defeating tha
efforts Of the warriors, but after
awhile the latter began to receive re-
Inducements. Large bodies Of the
Indians, who at first had fled, ral-
lied and joined their companions
who were contending with Elliott's
detachment.
The situation Of the little band Of
soldiers soon grew perilous and aid
from Custer was anxiously expected
but none came. That officer with his

Did Custer Leave Officer to Fate? Brave Major
Elliott Said to Have Been Sacrificed From Hate

TahleQuah, March 19-lIn the United
States national cemetery a short dis
tance from Fort Gibson is a marble
headstone upon which is inscribed
Major j II Elliott, Seventh Cavalry"
No mention is made of his services
nor of the date Of his death, nor how
he met death The Seventh cavalry
never was stationed at Fort Gibson,
and lee majority Of persons who visit
the cemetery are unfamiliar with tho
story connected with the dea Of a
brave and gallant officer of the ia
mouse regiment which won renown
under the command Of Gen George
Armstrong Custer. But there are yet
living some of the members of TIE
regiment who saw service during the
Indian troubles nearly fifty years ago,
and SOME of these veterans say that
the tragic fate Of Elliot was pre-
cursor of the fate that overlook Gus
ter several years after Elliott fell.

field in time to rescue the hard beset
soldiers, it has been said, but though
the yolleys of the opposing forces
were plainly heard Custer made no
attempt to give succor Gradually
the steady yolleys from the rifles of
the soldiers grew less and the troop
ers grew impatient for the command
to go forward. Minute after minute
passed and anger took the place OF
anxiety But the long haired leader
gave no word, and after awhile the
yolleys ceased, and then the troopers
realized that Elliot and his men were
no more. Not until next day was the
command moved forward, and when
the place was reached where Elicit
had stood at the head of his men The
signs of fearful contest were visible,
but all the soldiers were dead, and
among them was Major Elliott. His
body was prepared for burial, and as
