1t was the rough and ready char

him as one of the country's most sue

Brett. He conquered the Indians be-

Gen. Miles was universally feared

method of warfare. Consequently, he
was ready to frustrate every planned
move before 1t got under way.
Inspiration to Men.
He was a man of terrific energy
and absolutely tireless. The fact that
he was an inspiration to all OF his

great power. He never failed to CEN

agreed to a council of peace, at which
the Indians would appear unarmed.
But when approaching the council
the braves opened fire, killing two
members of the generals staff. The
Indians were captured and severely
punished"
After relating the generals early
engagements with the red men, after
the Custer massacre in 1876, Col.
Brett recounted how, in the Fall of
1877, Gen. Miles was sent out TO quell
the Nez Perce Indian uprising.

THE Sioux, who had been in Canada
since the Custer dist urbance. and had
been quiet, started a series of forays

thorough knowledge of the Indian and
his methods, backed by secret infor

ice of half breeds and old Indiar
scouts, balked every move of Sitting
Bull.
Gen. Miles sent out two detach

surrender of Sitting Bull and his
forces. Among the hostiles who sur
