THE FIGHT AT THE WAGON-BOX
CORRAL

THE greatest victory ever won by
white men over Indians and per-
haps the most successful defense ever
made against overwhelming odds took
place on August 2, 1867, near the pres
ent city of Sheridan, Wyo. 1t was a
battle of 80 soldiers and woodchoppers
against 5000 Sioux. The 80 not only
won, but inflicted a loss upon their
enemies unparalleled in history.
The previous December Red Cloud,
the great chief of the Sioux, had des-
troyed Lieut.. Col. w. J. Fetterman's
command of 81 men in what is pOpu-
larly known as the Fort Phil Kearney
Massacre" But when he attacked the
woodchoppers camp on Piney island
as his first step in destroying the fort
and driving the white men out of the
country, he paid dearly for his former
victory.
Capt. James w. Powell, commander
of the military guard, had made a
corral of wagon boxes in the center of
a broad plain and into this he retired
when Red Clouds hosts appeared.
The white men had an abundance Of
ammunition and were armed with the
new breech-loading, repeating rifles
which had just been issued TO them.
The Sioux leader opened the ball by
sending 500 warriors in splendid
charge against the little fortress.
Powell waited until the Indians were
within so yards Of the corral. Then
the soldiers opened steady, unbroken
stream of fire, unlike the vOlley firing
to which the Indians were accustomed.
It moved them down by the score,
but so great was the impetus of their
charge that they could not stop until
they were almost on top of the bar
ricade.
They tried it again a little later and
this time they rode so close to the
wagon boxes that some Of POwelPs
men, mad with excitement, rose from
where they were lying and hurled the
augurs, with which they had bored the
loopholes, full into the faces of their
enemies. Again the red wave broke
on the white mans stubborn resistance.
Red Cloud had had enough. When
a relief party from the fort arrived he
withdrew. Powell had lost three killed
and five wounded The Indian loss
was 1,137! And to this day the Sioux
refer to the battle as the bad Medicine
Fight" where the white man made
his guns fire themselves without stop
ping"

apportioning the $4,725,O 900 available
for state highway construction and
maintenance during 1924 and the set
ting aside in the budget of $1,095, 40
for projects on the main north and
south highway, which runs from the
Wyoming line southerly to the New
Mexico boundary to Ration pass by
way of Fort Collins, Longmont, Den
yer, Colorado Springs, Pueblo and
Trinidad was commended by Maj. L. D.
Blauvelt, chief engineer with the State
Highway Department.
"The main north and south highway
serves there-fourths Of the states pop
ulatiOn and is unQuestionably the main
artery of travel" declared Major
Blauvelt. "a census taken last sum-
mer on this road revealed that traffic
is becoming increasingly heavy and
that the highway cannot, for any
length of time, withstand the tremen-
dous demands made on it unless it is
properly maintained. This, under the
appropriation allocated to its improve
ment, is now possible.
"The needs of the important roads
of the state as to further improve
ments, especially as to the federal aid
per cent system of highways, have
been taken care of insofar as finances
would permit. All funds were allOcat-
ed with view of completing a con-
nected system of highway construc-
ton"
"The amount contained in the bud
get for the maintenance of constructed
highways is adequate and with the
system of maintenance now employed,
will produce during the coming year
properly maintained and properly pa
trolled highways"
The state highway budget went into
force when Governor Sweet affixed his
signature without vetoing or altering
any item This is regarded as signal
recognition of the advisory boards
work in carefully considering each ap-
preparation before 1t was maze.
The highway department is begin
ming the new year auspiciOusly with q
$300000 balance in the treasury.
The total amount Is made up by
$750000, the estimated return from the
half-miI levy; $575,000 from the 2-cent
gas tax levy; internal Improvement,
$4,000; sales to counties and mlscel-
laneous, $4,000; 1925 bond sales, ST.
100000. OF this amount, $4,000 900 was
apportioned for road construction, the
remainder to be utilized for mainten-
ance.
The estimated expenditures aret
Federal aid, 100000; state, $500,0OO;
maintenance, $S11, 900; property and
equipment, $4,000; contingent fund,
S15O.OOO administration fund, $1S9,0OO.
Total $4,725,000.
Although the 1924 appropriation
falls below that made for 1923 by APP
proximately $1,00O00O, it will never
theless enable the completion of many
added miles of paved highway, uniting
more closely than ever towns and ham,
lets in the state.
Following are the amounts allowed
each state highway district for main
tenance:
District No. 2, $274,OOO; district No.
8, S212, 800; district No 4, $230,OOO;
district No. 3, $225,OOO district No. 9.
$4,000, and district No. Z, $292, 800.
For the Denver mountain parks,
which include forty-seven miles OF
state highway, the state will expend
$4,000 and the county $4,000, total
of $4,000.

0NUT off and surrouned by Injuns.
~ Wounded. Laying between ded
hors and ded buffalow. Standing them
off. Cartridges nearly all gone. God
hep me. John S. Kel-, Gran, Mo"
Such was the message, scribbled on
the fat side of an old, bleached shoul-
der blade of a buffalo, which was
found by three soldiers on the plains
of Kansas one day in 1861. Nearby
lay a mans skull with a bullet hole
through the temples-mute evidence of
how his last Cartridge" was used.
Who "John S. Kel-, Gran, Mo-"
was they never learned, but what he
was and how he died were revealed a
little later through the boastings of
Satanta, the great chief of the Kiowas.
For this victim Of plains tragedy was
wolfer, one of the class of men who
pose of poisoning their carcasses with
strychnine and reaping the harvest of
pelts from the wolves who fed upon
this bait. The Indians hated these
butchers above all other white men
and the wolfer's life was one of con-
stant danger.
According to Satanta's story, this
man had left his two companions in
camp when he went out to make his
days kill. The Kiowas, after gaining
entrance to the camp by treachery,
killed the two men and plundered their
camp. Then a party of six warriors
set out to stalk the lone hunter.
The wolfer had just killed buffalo
when the Kiowas swooped down upon
him. Realizing his desperate plight,
the man Immediately cut his horses
throat and, crouching down between it
and the dead buffalo, he opened fire
upon the savages as they rode in
sweeping circles about him. He killed
one of them and seriously wounded
another before his ammunition ran out
all except his last cartridge. He
saved that one for himself
The Kiowas stripped him Of his
arms and clothing, but with supersti-
tious dread Of a suicide refrained from
scalping him. The wOlfer had partly
stripped back the skin of the buffalo
when the Kiowas jumped him and
seeing this, the Indians decided to
help themselves to the fresh meat SO
luckily provided. SO they cut out a
choice steak from the hump and rode
away.
But the wolfer had unconsciously
set a death trap for his enemies.
When the squaws cooked the meat for
the victorious warriors four of them
later died in agony almost immediate
ly. The wolfer had already put the
strychnine into the hump when they
had attacked him. So John S. Kel- of
Gran, Mo-, made the Kiowas pay
dearly for their victory They had
killed three white men and burned
their outfit, but it cost them the
lives of five Of their best warriors.
