combat.
Roman Nose Led Indians
The appearance of Roman Nose al
the head of the red men early in the
battle and the subsequent attack were
described by Forsyth in a magazine
article in 1895. 1t was Roman Nose IS
plan to send large body of horse
men riding over the island, killing
the scouts as they passed.
"As Roman Nose dashed CALAMITY
forward, and swept into the open at
the head of his superb command, he
was the very beau ideal of an Indian
chief. Mounted on a large, clean
imbed chestnut horse, he sat well
forward on his bareback charger. He
was man over six feet and three
inches in height, beautifully formed,
and, save for crimson silk sash
knotted around his waist, and his
moccasins on his feet, perfectly max

as he and his command swept down
upon us; and again facing squarely
toward where we lay, he drew his

Intrepid Leader Goes Into Battle
Riding about five PAGES in front
of the center of the line and twirling
his heavy Springfield rifle around his
head as if it were a wisp of straw"
Forsyth's account reads, Roman
Nose recklessly led the charge with
bravery that could only be equaled
but not excelled, while their medicine
man, an equally brave but older
chief, rode slightly in advance at the
left of the charging column. 1t was
far and away beyond anything / had
heard of, read about, or even dream
ed of, regarding Indian warfare"
Forsyth then pays tribute to the
valor of the white scouts.
"a quick backward glance at my
men was most reassuring. Each
scout had turned in his rifle pit to-
ward the charge. Crouching low,
and leaning forward, with their knees
well under them, their rifles grasped
in a grip of steel in their brown sin
envy hands, their chests heaving with
excitement, their teeth set hard, their
nostrils aquiver, their bronzed coun-
tenances fairly aflame, and their eyes
flashing fire, they grimly lay wait
ing the word of command, as brave
and gallant little company of men
as ever yet upheld the reputation of
Anglo-Saxon courage"

The officers of the Third cavalry
speedily reorganized the wavering
troops, drove back the Sioux and re-
occupied the ground where Henry
lay. When he was finally taken to
the surgeons he could not see at all,
could scarcely hear and breathed
with difficulty. AS the doctor bent
over him he heard Henry humble,
Fix me up so that can go back"
What We're Here For
Through the long, hot day, he lay
in the sun, suffering untold agonies
from his wound and lack of water
to drink. Late in the afternoon an
officer leaned down to him with an
expression of commiseration. Its
all right, Jack" gurgled from the
mouth of Henry, between spurts of
blood; "'it's what we're here for"
John F. Finerty, correspondent of
the Chicago Times in the field, who
was present and who related that in
>~oSAbt odiQ thdt I1Cht llnlHCQAdtCiy
after that remark, advised Finerty to
join the ARMY
The battle ended without victory
for either side. There were practi-
caHy no facilities for treating the
wounded. No one expected Henry
to live through the night. He did
not expect to live, himself, and he
lay through long hours listening to
the men digging graves for those who
had fallen. But when morning came
he was alive and they sent him back
to Fort Fetterman, 200 miles away,
on stretcher made of two saplings
and couple of blankets, with two
army mules between the sapling |
poles-one at each end. The nights
were bitterly cold and the days hot. |
His suffering was intense, but never |
once did he complain, not even when |

| it was pulled off. All his fingers
were frozen to the second joint, the
flesh sloughed off, exposing the
bones. One finger had to be ampu-
tated, and to the day of his death
he never was able to close the fingers
of his left hand again. 1t was only
due to his indomitable persistence
that every man in the command was
not frozen to death that awful day.
But his heroism and suffering on
that occasion was nothing to what he
experienced two years later. Just
before the Custer massacre, General
Crook, with some LOO men, moved
out from Fort Fetterman, Wyoming,
on the expedition that eliminated in
the Battle of the Rosebud. Colonel
w. B. Royal had command of the
cavalry, and Henry led the left bat
talon of the mounted troops.
Henry's CHASTITY Experience
One morning in June the Sioux
and Cheyennes, under Crazy Horse,
attacked the command. The left
wing, under Colonel Royal, was iso-
lated in ravine, surrounded by a
force of Indians that outnumbered
them five to one. The rest of the
command, heavily engaged, could
give them no help. The Indians made
charge after charge upon the troops,
who had all dismounted excepting
the officers. Henry, cool as an ice
berg, rode up and down the thin line,
steadying and holding his men. Once
he led daring charge and rescued
q company that the Sioux had cut off

except for Henry's action.
At last in one of the furious at
lacks of the Sioux Henry was shot in
,he face. A rifle bullet struck him
under the left eye, passing through
he upper part of his mouth under
he nose and came out under the
light eye. The shock was terrific,

streams he remained in the saddle

Henry was forced to take years
leave, and then came back to duty.
In 1877, when his troop was ordered
to the front in another campaign I'M
der Crook against the Sioux, he in
sisted on accompanying them. He
had been out only an hour when he
fell fainting from his saddle. He in
sisted on being left under tree with
couple of troopers. and when an
order came to him from the COM
handing officer to return to the fort,
he pretended he did not receive it
and Joined the command again, re-
naming with them for six weeks. FL
nally he was picked up bodily and
carried home, the surgeon refusing to
answer If he stayed in the field any
longer.
Thirteen years after that Henry
was commanding the Ninth cavalry
regiment of negroes. From the
overcoats of buffalo hide they wore
in Wyoming they we're called the
"Buffaloes," but were more frequent
ly referred to as Henry's "Bru-
nettes." They were a regiment,
whatever their name, of which Henry
was justly proud.
In 1890 occurred the last outbreak
of the Sioux under the inspiration of
the ghost dancers, which eliminated

Troops from all over the United
States were hurried to the Pine Ridge
agency as the trouble began. The

ton for rifle and 80 for revolver.
AS soon as it was known that a
troop was to be raised by SANDY
Forsyth, as he was known, the youth
full general was overwhelmed with
applications from men who wished to
join it. He had the pick of the from
tier to select from, and he selected
the best shots and most experienced
plainsmen and Indian fighters. Every
man was dead shot. The only other
commissioned officer in the command
was Lieutenant Frederick H. Beech
er, nephew of Henry Ward Beecher,
who, unfortunately, was killed in the
Beecher Island fight after heroic
service. He had fine service record,
having displayed great heroism at
Gettysburg, where he was wounded
and made lame for life.
From August 29 to September 16,
Forsyth's command campaigned with
out noteworthy result The scouts
made camp on the evening of Septem-
Der 16 on the Arickaree river, the
middle fork of the Republican, at a
point fifteen miles south of Wray.
When dawn broke, hundreds OF
swarmed the bluffs on the
opposite side of the river. They
awaited only for the light to begin
firing on the scouts.
Forsyth perceived that the battle
would be crucial one, due to the
determination of the Indians and
heir numbers. He chose an island
n the middle of the river as the most
advantageous position for his small
orce. The scouts dug rifle pits in
he sand and several horses, killed

| September II, 1922, was the 54th
anniversary of the Battle of Beecher
| Island, one of the most desperately
| fought encounters between Indians
and white men in the annals of from
tier warfare. In this fight, which
took place on the Middle fork of the
Republican river, several men who
were afterwards well known in Mon
tana took part. One of these was
General George A. Forsyth, who was
the first army officer to explore the
Yellowstone river in connection with
steamboat navigation in 1873, and
who took part in the Indian cam
paigns of Montana in the los. The
anniversary of the battle was cele-
brated a week ago last Sunday at
Wray, Colorado, by the few remain
ing survivors of the fight, including
Jimmy Shanklin, veteran army
scout, who is now in his 70's and has
recently made his home at Great
Falls.
The Battle of Beecher Island is
noted in frontier history for the dog
ged heroism of a handful of white
scouts who were forced into des-
perate combat in which they were
outnumbered 20 to / by the Indians
under Roman Nose, head war chief
of the Cheyennes. The Kansas Paci-
fic was then building to Denver, and
it's advance was furiously resisted by
the Indians.

and the Indian chief, Roman Nose, |

courage and resourcefulness. For

The charge failed. Roman Nose

But the rush also cost the life of the
intrepid Lieutenant Beecher.
Other charges followed, and cas-

FIND KU KLUX
 IRRESPONSIBLE FOR KILLINGS
Slain Officer Member of Masked Mob, Says
 Coroner's Jury.

LOS ANGELES, April 26. The coroner's jury, after Investigating the killing of Town Marshal M. B. Mosher by another officer, while the former was taking part in a night raid of masked men upon citizens home Saturday night, returned a verdict to- day that Mosher came to his death while member of a masked mob, in- stigated and directed by members of the 'Ku Klux Klan,' and that the kill ing was justifiable."
 The tragedy at Inglewood, where the raiders, garbed in the fantastic costume of the "Klan," were terroriz- ing a family on pretext of looking for contraband liquor, has crystallized public sentiment solidly against the masked organization. Strict orders have been given to suppress with an iron hand any further activity of the "Klan."
 The federal government is making an independent investigation.
