how we'll the oxen had obeyed young
Benedict. He soon found the lad
again and asked him to help haul so me

two or three times, the squaw, on
Benedict's last return, said<..to him,
that if he worked for others, he should
board and lodge there too. The next
time his Indian friend came, the
captive told him what the squaw had

There were disturbances at othre
times when his master was at ho1re.
On these occasions he was accustomed

Surrendered to Soldiers. +.
On the return of his Indian master
from the battle of Wood Lake, young
Juni was told to get ready to return
to his parents, as arrangements had
been made for his surrender. On the
next morning he again put on white
mans garb such as could be found.
It consisted of a pair of men trousers,
cut off at the knees, long linen
dus ter and stove pipe hat? In this
garb he was surrendered to the soldiers,
and confined in sort of enclosure
with other surrendered prisoners whose
Mares were taken and sent to the
Pioneer newspaper in St. Paul. In
this way his father came to learn that
his boy was still in the land of the
living. But the end of his adventures

Ben answered that he was bound for
"Teepee Taulke," or "Big House, -
as the Indians called the fort. The
Redskin shook his head to indicate
that Benedict was mistaken, and
ordered him to face about and precede
them down the hill
This was the beginning of a seven

but was compelled to- drop that, too.
Whipped by Captors.
1t appeared that his captors had
been on accommodating expedition
toward the fort and were. in hurry
to get back and report. The party in
the house, including the boys mother,
one brother and two sisters, must have
gone before this, for all was quiet in
and about the place. The Indians
had all vanished. Benedict and his
captors started on again. He had his
trousers rolled up and one of the
Indians, having picked up q black
snake whip, gave him an occasional
cut across the bare calves. The OBJ
ject was twofold. 1t afforded him
some amusement to see the discounted
boy jump and it considerably &C
celera ted his speed.
On arriving at the ferry the youth
noticed a great congestion of traffic.
Four or FIVE wagons drawn by oxen in
charge of Indians were waiting trans
fer and there was great confusion. The
Indians had managed pretty we'll thus
far, but coaxing the oxen onto the
ferry was another matter. Benedict
stepped up to the foremost team and
soon it followed him onto the raft
This act brought handclappings and
calls of "Hockshelta washtav,' C"good
boy.')
1t was not long until all had passed
to the south or agency side of the river.
Here the captive was allowed to rest
for quarter Of an hour or more.
Seated on the high bank he watched
the gun practice of the Indians, who
had many new guns taken from the
stores and some taken from their
victims, but few hours before and
with which they wanted to get &C

Unwilling Aid of Indians.
"On arriving at an Indian village the
boys captor left him at the hut of his
future mother-in-law, widow with
two grown daughters. Here several
squaws were squatted around an open
fire on the ground. "They had bags
of shot which they poured into large
ladle and then melted over the fire
and poured into bullet molds. There
was a heap of bullets on the ground
with the nipple made by the hole in
the mold still On them. One of the
squaws ordered the captive to get busy
with knife cutting off these projecting
nipples. The bullets were then placed
in the empty shot bags and sent to the
ferry by Indian lads. Thus he be-
came unwillingly an instrument in
killing some of Captain Marsh's men.
Like most boys, he had great faith
in the prowess of soldiers and believed
them invincible if pitted against In
dians. Repeatedly the youthful
captive told the squaws that they
would "get their pay" meaning their
punishment for what they had done,
but conveyed his meaning thus, SO
that if they showed displeasure he
could explain that he meant their
annual payment from the government.
When Hope Almost Died.
"About 4 o'clock in the afternoon a
flag came in view in the direction of

glitter of bayonets and swords. What
the boy had firmly believed all day
was now to come true. The soldiers
were coming to mete out punishment
and release the captives. He could
control himself no longer, and having
no hat he picked up an old rag, cla NIB
