Two Frontiersmen's Desperate Fight.

Two FrOntiersmen's Desperate Fight.
4. Fisher and Wheatley, the two
1frontiersmen who had gone out with
/ Fetterman, had ensconced themselves
in little pile of rocks close by where
the soldiers lay, and the evidence of
blood pools in the snow and many
dead horses showed that they had
killed so Indians. Their lives had
been a costly bargain to their foes.
Later it was learned that more
than 1000 Indians had taken
part in the battle, being made up
of five bands of Sioux, some North
ern Cheyennes and Arapahoes, as
we'll as quite few Blackfeet. 1t was
most signal victory for Red Cloud,
who led the fight in person.
The Wagon Box Fight
But the next summer saw another
day in the story of Fort Phil Kear-
ny. 1t came on the second day of
August, 1867, when Capt. James
Powell was ordered to take station
at. Piney Island, five miles from the
fort, to protect wood trains in haul
ing fuel to the post. His command
consisted of one company of the
Twenty-seventh infantry, numbering
81 enlisted men, besides his lieuten-
ant and himself.
Captain Powell found the wood
train divided into two groups of wag
ons about mile apart. One train of
16 wagons had corraled on a little
hill in a good position for defense.
The other was on the flat. He as
signed IL men to protect the work
ing parties of both trains and 49,
more soldiers to act as escort to the
trains He retained 26 enlisted
men, one lieutenant and four civil
ians to bear the brunt of an attack
should one be made, and decided in |
that event, to form a corral fortress |
out of the wagons on the hill, and
make stand there. His men were
armed with the Allen alteration of
the old Springfield rifle, one of the
best single breech-loading rifles
ever issued any troops, which had
recently been sent to him. These RI
files were far superior to the new
Spencer repeating carbines, which
had been found uncertain in opera
ton. He had also extra rifles and
many thousand rounds of ammuni-
ion, for at Fort Phil Kearny the aw-
'ul blunder of Colonel Fetterman of
being caught short of ammunition
vas never repeated.
The 16 wagon boxes were lined
With boiler iron, loopholed, thus rem
iering them bullet-proof against rifle
hots which fact saved the little COM
nand from utter determination.
captain Powell had the wagon boxes
AIKEN off the running gears, placed
N the ground in a circle and filled
he fnterstices with logs. On the most
exposed side he placed two of the
'oxes on wheels just outside those on

Ii WAS only 81.

1t was only 81.
Just little 81 bill for rent, yet it
has caused Arthur S. Fell of this city
$400, roughly, already and he still
refuses to pay. The matter has been
dragging through the courts for two
years.
Two years ago he purchased small
house from Anita McCrory. colored,
on the east side, with the understand
ing that the house was to be moved
from the lot within ten days, or he
should pay a dollar a month rental.
The house was not moved for seven
months and then one day Mr.. Fell ap-
peared to take his house and Anita
demanded the 81 rent due her. During
the melee he AYERS she produced a gun,
or rolling pin, or something and threat
ened his life. So he took his troubles
to the district attorney, who refused
to take action and then to Justice
Mayfield who also declined to swear
out warrant.
Things then went along for three
or four months when Anita sued for
the possession of the lot, as the house
was still on it. She also asked dam
ages. Mr.. Fell demanded jury trial
tccst $500 and the jury awarded Mrs.
McCrory 500 as damages.
Later the house was sold for the
$1O0, so Mr.. Fell lost his house.
Then he carried the case to the su-
preme court which sent it back to II
justice court for re-trial. Mr.. Fell de-
manded another jury (another 500.
This jury was not SO lenient as tho
first one for it returned a verdict OF
damages in the sum of S175, plus the
original 81 rental. Total 1882. Now
he has appealed this case.
Lawyers fees, court fees. etc. bring
the total up to approximately S40O.
And the matter could have been set
tied in the first place for 81.
