might state for his benefit that the
fight took place in the afternoon and
that there is no high hill near the
Custer field. This man even has the
nerve to say he begged Sitting Bull
not to mutilate Clusters body. When
Sitting Bull came on the field the
fight was all over and SO was the
work of scalping and mutilation.
Sitting Bull, when he arrived,
made q talk. praising the Indians for
killing all Of Clusters men. He said:
I'VE will go to our camp and dance.
We have lost only a few people.
When the other soldiers find out we
have killed all of these soldiers, they
will be glad to 60 away"
Many writers about the Custer
fight have said that Rain-in-the-Face
was wounded in that battle. He was
not, but his horse was shot and killed
just as he came out of the timber.
In 1887, IL years later, Rain-in-the-
Face was on buffalo hunt, and when
his horse stumbled his Colts revolver
which he had picked up In the Gus
ter fight-was accidentally discharg-
ed, wounding him in the knee. He
always limped after that.
Most historians of the fight say
that Rain-in-the-Face cut Captain
Tom Clusters heart out, as he hated

They even decided that the "big
Chief" meaning Custer, must be with
the command that was marching to
the left of them, which was correct.
Asked why they thought Custer was
with that group, Gall replied "be-
cause they made the most dust"

Some Reasons (?) for
Opposing Road Issue

Fred Davis, attorney and oil
man, gives his reason for opposi.
tion TO the proposed bond issue
for good roads He says that in
making a trip out of Ardmore to
the oil fields ne was attempting
to drive around a broken bridge
and damaged his car to the extent
Of $500. In one month, he says.
he paid not less than $500 for
automobile repair work. and the
most of that would have been
saved to him If the county had
had good roads.
He considers that the tax he
pays for bad roads IL many times
more than the tax he would have
to pay for good roads. In his
automobile repairs he charged
nothing for his loss Of time while
his car was out of commission.
which is a big item that enters
into the consideration.
II seems that Mr.. Davis has
grown somewhat ironical in telling
the folks why he is opposed to the
bond issue for good roads.
