AFTER 40 YEARS, find CUSTER FIGHT HERO
WHO WON CONGRESS Sl0NAL HONOR MEDAL

tead of the column In the parade,
directly following President Harding.
Inompson's experience at the time
q the Custer fight and the fact that
ne was awarded the Congressional
MEDAL for his heroism ON that occa-
sion, was known to but few of the
cIti1ens of his home county until the
invitation was extended to him to
attend the celebration in Washing
ton last fall, with all his expenses
paid.
Thompson was q member of COM
pany c. Seventh cavalry. Captain
Tom Clusters command, and but for
the fact that his horse gave out, he
would have been one of the men to
perish In that memorable conflict be-
tween the whites and the reds.
While Thompson has not received
az much publicity as some others
VINO were engaged in Indian wars
In the early days of the west on ac-
count of his retiring disposition,
those who have studied the history
OF the Seventh cavalry are familiar
with the story of his heroism.
W. M. Camp, of Chicago, historian
OF the Seventh cavalry and Indian
wars. says Of Thompson:
This man Thompson is a modest
fellow. Ask him about the Medal of
Honor that was awarded him In
1873. If he does not tell you why
this was given to him, here it il from
the records of the war department:
After having voluntarily brought
water to the wounded, in which eff
fort he was shot through the head,
ne made two more successful trips
Tor the same purpose, notwithstand-
Ing the remonstrances of his SER
geant.'
This record shows that the .ac.
ton In which this deed was per-
formed took place ON the Little Big
Horn, Montana, June IS, 1876, q
day that will be remembered in the
worlds history as long as Thermo.

1.-THE word head in the above
quoted sentence is evidently a mis-.
spelling Of hand as the official re.
port of the wounded shows that he
was wounded in the hand. In this
connection It should be understood
that the two dates, June Is and 26
properly go together. for the fight.
Ing was fast and furious on both
days."
Historian Camp tells an interest
ing story of his search for Peter
Thompson, which extended over &
period Of several years. While Camr
was writing up the battle of the Lit.
tie Big Horn, Sergeant Knipe toll
him about four men who struggled
behind Clusters command, or in some
way had been left behind; Custer
and Reno had separated and these
four men got back to Reno's com
mand before the Sioux fell foul O
them. Knipe told Camp that II h,
could find Peter Thompson, who wa
one of these four men, he could prob
ably give him some interesting in
formation concerning incidents an,
events of the famous battle.

Camp says: mo one to whom I
wrote or talked had seen Thompson
or heard Of him since his discharge
from the army In 1880, until. finally,
met an ex-soldier who told me that
Thompson had gone to work some
whore in the Black Hills after leav-
ing the army. Accordingly, ad-
dressed letters to different postof-
fices throughout the Hills. but they
all came back to me with the post
masters stamp mot here.'"
Next q soldier in Chicago advised
Camp to try some Of the old saloon
men in the Black Hills country, say
ing that army veterans were likely
to hang around such places, but all
inquiries in this direction we're fruit
less.
The records in Washington show
ed that Thompson was wounded,
and Camp thought II he was. still
living his name would undoubtedly
be on the pension list, and in this
way he could get his address. But
the records at the pension office
showed that Peter Thompson was not
drawing q pension and had never
even applied for one. General Fred
G. Ainsworth, adjutant general of
the army, when given this informa-
ton, said: THAT being the case, Mr..
Camp, you may rest assured that
your man Thompson is dead. If he
had survived the date of his dis
charge many years, having been Sc
verely wounded, as the records show,
the pension office would certainly
have heard from him."
"This seemed conclusive to those
who never knew Peter Thompson, but
not to those who had known him.
They advised Camp to still continue
his search.
ut is too long story" says Camp
Ito go into all the details as to how
I found Peter Thompson, but the
trail never led to a saloon or q bill

to have made his acquaintance. Ny
inquiries had started some discus
sion Of the man in Deadwood, and q
former superintendent of the Home

Thompson had gone ranching some
twenty years previous, and suggested
that I address him at Alzada. I die

Marcus Daily and associates with q
capital of 100000. In July, 1920,
its name was changed to the Metals
Bank and Trust company, when the

terests to the group Of men who
composed the directing board of the
Metals bank. It IL one Of the best
known financial institutions of the

Thomas Couch and J. E. Gaylord.
Later w. B. Thompson, the late ex-
governor B. f. White and also John
MacGinniss were interested in the

est in the bank was purchased on
