Cleaning House

The foregoing will be read by some
as wet" propaganda. 1t isn't. 1t IS
simply a statement of fact. Our per-
sonal belief is that the Canadians are
showing wisdom and restraint IN
handling domestic matters.
However, it may be in regard to
sanity along liquor lines the Herald
does not uphold bootlegging, moon
shine making, ETC., in this country.
We can see that if the people OF this
county this state and this country

conditions they can have them.

of Grant county want a clean county
tbey can have it by doing the clean

of fact.

ment of school monies on hand and
the wise investment in same it may
be seen that this district is fortunate
in having a treasurer who under

does not intend to see the peoples

siders this an excellent showing.)

During my term of service in the Civil
war / was severely wounded five times,
particularly on the 10Th of August, 1904,
while repulsing a confederate charge at
the battle of Reams' station, on the Wei
don railroad, Virginia, it being my nine
tenth birthday. l received three wounds

me again, and l enlisted at Boston, Mass,
for five years, and was assigned to Troop
M, Seventh United States cavalry, then
being organized at Fort Riley, Kan, under
General Clusters supervision, Custer being
lieutenant-colonel of the regiment.
After the Seventh cavalry had been or
ganized, our first expedition was in the
spring of 1867 with General Hancock to
Pawnee Forks, Kan, after Chiefs oRman

ter campaign to the Indian territory, which
led up to the battle of Washita, in which
the Seventh cavalry annihilated Chief Black
Kettles band of Indians on Nov. q, 1868.
My company lost seven men killed and one
man wounded in that engagement.

white women, Mrs. Morgan of the solomon

the Indians at their homes in Kansas. They
were released by a tribe of renegade Ind
ians near the staked plains, where we took
four of their principal chiefs prisoners,
Bull Head, Dull Knife, Cut-em-up and One
Stab.
1t happened to be my lot to be in charge
of the guard that dismounted and dis
armed those four chiefs on that occasion.
General Custer could not persuade those
Indian chiefs to surrender their arms. /,
being sergeant of the guard that evening,
had orders from General Custer to disarm
them, and my orders were that we need
not be very particular how we did it. We
probably would have made short work Of
those four chiefs if they had not turned
their arms over to us promptly, for we
well knew how they had cut up and mutt
lated the bodies of some of my company
a short time previous to this affair, in the
battle of the Washita. We were simply
waiting for an opportunity to retaliate.
J On the day that we struck the Indian
camp, when we took those four chiefs
prisoners, / was sergeant of the guard in

Reno's battalion started down the val

marching in columns of twos. Lieutenant
Varnum, a very brave young officer in
command of the scouts, rode ahead of
Reno's battalion. He swung his hat around
in the air, and sung out to the men,
Thirty days furlough to the man who
gets the first scalp" We were very anx-
ious for the furlough, but not so particular
about the scalp.
We arrived at the bank of the Little Big

rrERE is q new slant on the

Custer and his entire command
we're wiped out by the Sioux In
dams. 1t is written by Sergeant
John Ryan, who served in Gus
ter's regiment, the Seventh cav
airy, for 10 years, and who was
with Major Reno's command,
when Custer, a few miles away,
was making the stand that I'M
mortaIized him and his men.
Reno, accused of cowardice for
not having gone to Clusters aid,
was cashiered from the army
and died in disgrace. Ryan's
narrative, giving hitherto I'M
published details, indicates that
it would have been impossible
for Reno to have given Custer
any assistance, even had he
known of Clusters danger, as
Reno's command was desperate
ly assailed, and was in a fair
way to be exterminated itself.
Ryan was top sergeant with
Reno in the last of the big bat
ties with the Sioux, and fought
in numerous engagements with
Indians in southeastern Mon
tana. He was also a soldier I'M

he received his honorable dis

Norris, veteran scout under
Custer in all his fights except
the last one, who knows as
much about the famous engage
ment as any man in the state,
and who has read the Ryan nar-
rative, pronounces it the best
story of the Custer fight ever
written. The story is published
by this newspaper through the
courtesy of the Billings Daily
Gazette and the Hardin Tribune
and will appear in two install
