Julia C. H. Dorr, in Harper's Young Folks,
FIGHTING THE SIOUX.
In tlie summer of '77, after hating
pent a couple of months in the mining
camp, of the Black Hills, in one of
which I had bartered wajr moat of my
worldly possessions for well "soiled
claim, I chanced, one day, unfortunately,
as circumstances afterward proved, to
Ienru that a party of miners were to
stnrt to the Dig Horn mountains, whero
it was reported au unusually rich dis
covery had been made.
At that time the flotsam contingent to
the population of Peadwood amounted
to several thousand, and the air was
charged with rumors of gold discor
Olies and encounters with Indians.
The story that gae rise to the Big
Horn "stampede" was a Tery seductive
one. Charles Lions, n frontiersman of
eoino notoriety, had just mado his op.
pearance iu Dead wood with the report
that he with three other prospectors
liad discovered exceedingly rich dip
pings on a sinnU stream tributary to
Powder River iu the Big Horn moun
tuins. But on the very day they lo
cated the mine they were attacked by Iu.
tliaus, and he thought his three compan
ion were killed on the spot, while he es
caped by the merest chance.
He proposed to guide a company to the
mine, provided they would furnish him
with n saddle horse, a pack pony, and
a mouth's provision. He commenced to
recite his story to one man on the street ;
lie was soon surrounded by a crowd ; and
before he had told it twice there were
dozens of men ready to subscribe money
enough to purchase all he required and
join hi expedition at once.
It was thought best to restrict th com
pany to fifty men, as a small body could
travel faster than a large one, and there
would be a better chance for each to get
a good claim.
The Sioux nt that time mnraudin
about th Black Hills were small bands
that would steal away from the agnucies,
and after doing some depredation, slip
back again. Old Sitting Bull aud tho
main force of his warriors were across
lb border, enjoying the protection aud
hospitality of the Canadians.
Th men who had furnished th money
to buy Lions an out it were anxious to
be off at once. I knew nothing of the
expedition till they were nil gone, but as
soon as I learned the direction they had
taken I started on their trail.
There is nothing which so fixes the
confidence of gold hunters with regard
to rumors of new mines as to learn that
men who have been there have come in
quietly for supplies and are trying to slip
away again.
I had a yoke of Cherokee cattle and a
light wagon. There were three men
with me, two of whom had ponies : the
other one travelled on foot. They
eagerly agreed to give me ten cent a
pound for hauling their blankets, pro
visions and uteusils, and were to pay in
dust when thoy took it out of the
ground.
We camped at Spear Fish for the night.
During the evening three teams passed
us with two men to each team and sev
eral horsemen. They were the sheriff
and his deputies in search of a horse
thief.
The next morning we wore on the
move as soon as it was light enough to
follow their wagon tracks. Our way lay
aero a rolling tableland covered with
Bags brush. We had pursued our courso
but a short distance when w saw a
horse approachiug at a full run, with
bridle and saddle but no rider; he ran
straight to us, and was apparently greatly
frightened. He was assigned to the foot
man, and we resumed our journey.
A mile or so further on we came to a
trunk which lay burst open by the side
of the trail. In it, and scattered about
on the ground, were a number of letters.
On young follow, Harry Brown by
came, became so much interested in
thee that he coutiuued to read them
while the rest of us rode on, thus falling
a mile in th rear.
In the meantime, we had roached and
passed th body of a man who had been
recently killed, and lay scalped by th
trail We knew at one that Indians
wore near, aud folt no surprise when we
discovered a small band of thorn on some
rising ground about a half mile ahead.
They had noted this man in our rear,
and headed tholr ponies down a ravine
with a view to cutting him off.
Anticipating their designs, ws stopped
and signalled our companion to speed on ;
but our signals were unnecessary, for al
though Harry could not see th savages
he had reached the dead man, and was
already putting his pony to its best
speed.
The Indians bore down on liira until
they were almost within range of out
Sharp's "old reliables," which were lev
elled at them from the opposite side of
our wagons, when they drove oil and al
lowed him to join us.
"By Oeorgel that was a narrow es
spel"he exclaimed, when safo in our
midst.
"I hope it'll teach you to be more car'
M in future," suid cue of the others, a
griEzled old gray beard. "It bents all how
foolish young chap.4 are.
Brown was silent; ho realized that ho
had been near death, and shuddered
when, a little later, we passed two moro
dead bodies.
We had all been some time on tho
frontier, yet wo drew a breath of relief
when we came to the border of the pla
lean and looked down on the encamp
iiient of men of our own kind, who had
taken strong ground ou a small valley iu
a bend of the lied Water.
The dead n.en wo had seen were a part
of the sheriff's party, who had beeu to
the encampment and secured the stolen
teiim and one of the thieves, and aftet
waiting for daylight, had started back,
only to encounter the savages. The
trunk and letters had been the property
of th prisoner. It is probable that dur
ing th flight tho officer cut the cord
with which he was bound ; but his doom
was sealed ; the poor fellow met a hardei
fate than he merited.
Meanwhile, the sheriffs horse mado
liis way into Spear Fish, and the blood
with which the saddle was stained told
At once of foul dealing. A courier posted
into Deadwood, where a company of
about forty well armed men was soon
raised, aud just before sundown they
reached our utrty.
We broke camp at once and returned
to Deadwood, taking up the dead men
on our way, and carrying them as fai
as Spear FUh, where thy were decently
buried. Night came on while we were
crossing the tableland, and as we could
a- !, t,,.1,,..' .1 1 .I-. t 1
: )luces they were evidently arranging
lor a united attack.
After a few days' delay we started
again, this time with a company of two
hundred men. The horseman were re
quired to do the scouting, and the men
with teams to do picket duty.
I inuring iiib ur.ti we una inreo
ckirmishes; in tho first two of our men
were killed ; iu the second, one man was
wounded ; in the third our stock wai
stampeded, and they stole several of out
horses.
As we appronched the Crow Indians'
country the Sioux censed to harass us;
aud finally, after more than a month's
travel, we reached tint gulch where w
nil hoped to speedily jrnin a fortune.
But here we were doomed to dissapoint
ment; Lions' story was largely a pro
duction of his Iniiigiiinlinu, and when
we had satisfied ourselves of the uttel
worthlessness of the country for mining
purposes, we were glad to go iu a botlj
to Fort Custer, which was then in pro
cess of construction. All who wished it
found employment at the fort. Some
continued down the Bi Horn to the
Yellowstone, where they took pas
sage on a steamboat for the States. But
the greater uunib r journeyed ou to the
settlements of i:p;r Montana; fortu
nately our way iu that direction lay
across the reservation of the Crows, a
tribe which has always beeu friendly to
the whites.
Verty-Dollar Bills.
A game with which Assistant Postmas
ter James Gayter is familiar from his
long aud varied experience is that of the
man who says in his letter, " I enclose
five dollars," and then forward th mis
sive without putting the money into it.
Th fellow' lotter arrives without th
enclosure, and then a vigorous com
plaint is made to th postal authorities.
Sometimes it is impossible to prov
whether the money was placed in th.
letter or not, but occasionally the inge
nuity of a post ofllce inspector lays the
echeme bare.
Mr. Gayler has discomfited not a few
men who were loud in their denuncia
tion of the mail service, among the cases
being that of a dissipated soldier. Ha
had lost his pay by gambling, instead ol
sending it to his wifo. He boldly, how
ever, wrote to her, saying that he en
closed eighty dollars in the letter. The
page was smeared with mucilage, but
the envelope contained no money.
The wife made a complaint to the post
office authorities, and Mr. Qayler was in
structed to look up tho case. He did so,
and happened to call ou the womat
when her husband was at home on a fur
lough. The man was positive that he
had put the mouey in th envelope.
"In what denomination wer th bills?"
Mr. Gayler asked him.
"There were two forty -dollar bills,"
answered the soldier.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, certain," said the man,
And Mr. Gayler spent no more time on
th case, except to offer the soldier fifty
dollar for every forty -dollar bill h could
find.
The Irem Duke's Presence f Mind.
One day, as th Duke of Wellington
sat writiug at his library table, quite
alone, his door was suddenly opened
without a knock or announcement of any
sort, and in stalked a gaunt man, who
confronted the commander-in-chief with
his hat on aud a savage expression of
countenance. The duke was of course a
little vexed at such an unceremonious
interruption, and, glancing up, he asked,
"Who are you?"
"I am Dionysius," was the singular
answer.
"Well, what do you want T" '
Your life."
Mylifo?" " i
"Yes; I want to kill you."
"Very odd," said tho duke, sitting bach
and calmly gazing at tiie Intruder,
"Not at all, for I am Dionysius, " said
the stranger; "and I must put you to
death.
"Are you obliged to perform this duty
to-day?" asked the commander-in-chief ;
"I am very busy just now, and have a
large number of letters to write. It
would be very inconvenient to-day. "
The visitor looked hard during a mo
meni'e pause.
"Call again," continued the duke, "oj
writ and make an appointment."
You'll be ready?"
Without fail," was th reply,
The maniac, awed doubtless by the
calm bearing of the stern old soldier.
backed out of the room without further
words, and half an hour later was safe
n bedlam.
Salt will relieve slight nausea.
