| cool and collected as ever. !
I noticed that blood was
making its way through the leg
of his trousers and I concluded
that he had received a flesh
wound, but with the exception
of a slight limp he gave no
signs of pain. His presence was
cheering and encouraging to
the men. Wherever he went,
their faces lighted with hope.
I was too nervous to remain
inactive and I was bound to
see what was going on. I went
to a point below where the
left wing was lying. The ground
here was broken with the river
a short distance away.
I stood looking into the vii
lage to see how many Indians
were in sight. I saw only one
occasionally making his way at
full speed either to the upper
or lower end of the village. A
large herd of ponies were
grazing near the village, guard
ed by a small number of In
dian boys.
I looked into the timber
where Reno had formed skirm-
ish lines before retreating, but
I could see no one there. I was
in doubt as to where all the
Indians had gone. There were
none where I expected to see
them.
But I suddenly was made
aware of their presence by a
command in a loud voice.
one of their chiefs. This was
followed by a heavy volley
which continued for several
moments. Our men did not
finch and very few replied to
the Indians fire. 5
The fire on the part of the
Indians became continuous. If
they had any hopes of driving
] us back from our position they

Iwere disappointed. We were
like rats in a hole, we could GO
no further. From about three
O'Clock in the afternoon until
the day wore away the In
dams fire grew less, thus show
ing that they were getting dis
heartened at the prospect of
getting our ScalpS or their am
munition was running low. The
latter I think was the real
cause for they had consumed
a tremendous amount of it in
their attacks on Clusters and
Reno'S commands.
AS the day was drawing to a
! close we became conscious that
the firing on the part of the
Indians was gradually ceaSing
and we began to move around
with a little more freedc
About seven o'clock in the eve
ming we noticed that the In
dams were massing their ponies
close to the village. We also
noticed that the tepees were
being torn down and the Wo-
men were packing their effects
and strapping them on their
pack animals.
AS the evening grew dark
they began to move slowly
away from the river in the
direction of the Big Horn
mountains. We tried to esti-
mate the numbers of their
fighting men, but it was diff
ficult to do owing to. the fact
that they had their families
with them and a large number
of ponies. But a conservative
estimate of the number of
warriors was about $500. -
A few of the Indians remain
ed and kept up a scattering
fire as if loath to give us up.
As darkness closed around US
the last shots came WhiStling
over our heads.
Thus closed one of the short
est and bIoodiest engagements
between the government and
Indians which had taken place
in recent years. With the ex-
ception of the SentrieS and the
wounded whose moaning could
be heard at any hour of the
night, our camp was wrapped
in slumber. .
As for myself, I could have
slept under almost any cir
cumStanceS. .
1t was about seven o'clock in
the morning that a Crow scout
came daShing into our midst
with the news that a body of
men were coming up the left
bank of the river, but whether
they were Indians or soldiers. he
could not tell.
Major Reno then called for
volunteers to go and ascertain
whether they were friends or
foes. The scout who had
brought the report-Half Yellow
Face or Two Bloody Hands by
name-and one of the soldiers
volunteered and away they
went, full speed.
In about half an hour, the
soldier returned, his horse COW
cred with foam, with glad news
that General Terry with some
of the End Cavalry and Glib
bons with his infantry were
coming.
We all gave a loud shout of
JOY, waving our hats In the air.

Terry soon made his appear
ance and when he had looked
around on the scene of desola-
ton he wept. He soon recovered
himself, and ordered the It'll
Cavalry to move across the
Little Horn river and camp on
the site Of the Indian village.
When We came to our new
camping place we saw the
position Custer was in when he
made his last fight. Dead men
and horses were scattered all
over the ground. 1t was an aW-
full sight, not on account OF the
dead only, but because OF the
mutilated condition Of their
bodies.
The only one which was not
stripped Of his clothing and
mutilated was General Custer.
He still had on his blue shirt,
buckSkin pants, with the legs
pushed in the tops of his long
legged boots.
On the 3Oth as we moved
slowly down the river we were
told that the steamer "Far
West" had succeeded in coming
up the Big Horn river to within
a short distance Of the mouth
of the Little Horn.
AS darkness came on, bon
fires were lighted to guide us
to where the boat lay. 1t was
nearly 10 o'clock when we
reached it.
It was on the morning of the
LIST of July that the Ear West"
moved out of the Big Horn, in
to the Yellowstone river. Late
on the evening of the 5th of
July we arrived at Bismark,

Customs Of Crow
Indidns Told

From the column my Day
on the Ranch, by Mrs Reba
Pierce SloSS, comes the follow
ing interesting bit of iaforma-
ton on customs of the Grow
Indians:
Monday evening a Crow In
dian lady called on me. I en-
joyed every moment of her
visit. I told her about finding
the pile of rocks on the range
that I thought might be cover
ing an Indian grave.
But she told me the Crows
did not bury their dead under
ground. The resting places for
their loved ones were either
in trees or caves. Mostly caves.
The circular clusters of
rocks, she told me, were used
to hold down their large tents
in the winter time.
The Crow Indians, she in
formed me, should really be
called the Absorakees. Absorb
kee means high-mountain-pea
people,.

silence. These guns were in the
hands of good marksmen. The
position they occupied was be-
hind some rocks in our rear.
All we could see when they
fired was "a puff OF white
smoke, but the result was very
disastrous to our horses and
mules.
The left wing of the 18th
Cavalry was thrown out as
skirmishers facing the village.
They had to take every oppor-
tunity the ground afforded to
secure themselves against the
fire of the enemy.
After resting for a time I
determined to make another
trip to the river for water,
since I could not get a gun that
was fit for use. Securing more
canteens I made my way to the
river. I found Madden had been
removed and it made me feel
a little lonesome on this trip.
But I had become so indiffer-
ent to my surroundings that ]
did not care whether the In
dams fired at me or not. So
walked slowly to the river, fill
led my camp kettles and as
slowly returned to my task OF
filling my canteens. All this
time the Indians had not fired
at me.
After filling my canteens
looked toward the timber. There
was no sign of life there. When
I reached the top of the bluff
again i saw Captin Benteen

men here and there. He was as
