Custer's Lust Fight.
The defeat of Gen. Custrr and the
annihilation of one wing of the Seventh
cavalry by tho Sioux, continues tho
event of the iiay, The news in all es
senllalu Is confirmed, It also nppearlnt!
that tho other division of the regiment,
under Major Reno, suffered very severe
ly, and was only saved fronl entlro de
struction by the arrival of Gen. Terry,
Gen. Custer seems to have uilscaleula
ted tho number of tho savages and the
time at which Major Reno was expect
ed to havo taken Ills part In tho joint
attack,
Tho command reached tho Indian
camp nn the Little Horn 011 June 25.
Major Reno, with three companies, at
tacked on tho south, nnd was repulsed,
the loss Including Lieutenants M'lntosh
and Hodgson, Dr. Dewolf, nud fifty
men killed nnd Ave wounded. Cnptalii
Benteeu'a command made for thu bluffs
across tho liver, and was saved from
Instant destruction by tho tlmelv arrl
vnl of a battalion. General (luster,
with flvo companies, attacked the lower
part of tho camp, down thu river somu
four or nvo miles from Reno's ford.
They were repulsed at tho ford, but
mado n gallant defenso among tho
bluffs. The command was externiiim
ted. Tho loss Is thirteen officers and over
200 men. Tho balanco nro missing,
but are probably killed. General Cus
ter, Colonel Custer, Colonel Keogh,
Colonel Yntes, Colonel Cuok, Captain
Smith, Lieutenant Calhoun, Lieutenant
I'orter, Lieutenant Sturgls, .Lieutenant
Relly, Lieutenant Crittenden and Dr.
Lord were killed, also Custer's brother
Boston and nephew, and the Herald's
correspondent, Kelloge. Lieutenant
llnrriucton is missing, truster's expres
sion was serene. About 8000 warriors
wore engaeed, Tho Indians suffered
a heavy loss nnd abandoned an Immenso
storo of supplies. Reno's and Ben
teen's command entrenched themselves
and were under a murderous firo until
the evening of tho 20th. Tho men
were saved by tho opportuno arrival of
Gen. Terry. Gen. Custer underestim
ated the enemy, separated his forco and
was deteated In detail. He probably
misjudged the time necessary to mako
tlm distance between his own and Re
no's force, thus losing tho moral effee.t
of a simultaneous attack.
Chicaoo, July 7. An account of the
Custer massacre, received from tho
mouth of the Ulg Horn river, dated July
1, says: At noon, Juno 22, Gen. Custer
nt the head ot Ids lino regiment, con
sisting of tuclvo veteran companies,
left His camp at tho inOulli of toe Kosc
btid river to follow tho bloux, whom ho
believed were In force. On thu 20tli
Gen. Terry witli GibbonB' command,
wearied Willi making forced marche,
were met by Crow scouts who reported
thu massncru of Custer's command
which, however, was not credited. Still
the report was not disregard) d, and next
morning at an early hour the head of
the column entered a plain, half a mile
wide and bordering on the left bank of
the Little Big Horn river, where had
recently been n laigo Indian village,
extending tin eo miles along the stream,
and where wero ttlll standing several
lodges with horses slaughtered around
them, and containing the bodies of nine
chiefs. The ground was strewn overy
where with carcasses of horses and cav
alry equipments, besides buffalo robes,
packages of dried meats, and weapons
and utensils belonging to the Indians,
On tills pint of thu field was found the
clothing of Lleuts. Sturgcs and Porter
pierced with bullets, and a blood-stained
gauntlet belonging to Col. Yates.
Further on weia found bodies of men,
among them Lieut, M'lntosh, the
Interpreter from Fort Rice, and Rey
nolds, tho guide. Tho slopes were dot
ted over with bodies of men and horses.
On a bluff near by, waiting for relief,
was found thu Minnant of tho Seventh
cavalry under Col. Reno, who greeted
Terry with hearty cheers. They bad
been fighting from Sunday noon, tho
25th, until the night of tiie 20th, when
Gen. Terry's command scared tho In
dians off. They woro not aware of
Custer's defeat.
Whllo preparations wero being made
for tho removal of tho wounded, a par
ty was sent on Custer's trail, to look
for traces of his command. They found
awaiting them a sight to appal the
stoutest heart at a point about three
miles down tho right bank of tho stream
Custer had evidently attempted to
ford and attack tho village. Tho trail
was found to lead back up to tho blutfs
and to the northward, as if tho troops
had been repulsed and compelled to re
treat, and at the time bad been cut off
from regaining tho forces under Reno.
The bluffs along the right bank come
sharply down to tho waterand aro In
terspersed by ravines. All along tho
slopes and ridges and In tho ravines,
lying as they bad fought, line behind
line, showing where defensive positions
had been successively taken up and
held till none were left to fight, there
huddled In a narrow compass horses
and men were piled promiscuously. At
the highest point ot the rldgo lay Cus
ter, surrounded by a chosen band.
Here wero Ills two brothers and bis
nephew, tr. Reed, Cols. Yates and
Cook, anorvaptain Smith, all lying in a
circle of a few yutds, their horses be
side them. The last body found was
thfctof Kellogg, correspondent of the
Bismarck Trlbunu and N. Y. Herald.
2.01 bodlos havo been burled so far,
The Indians for more than 24 hours
allowed the troops no rest and Inflicted
some loss. But for the timely arrival
of relief, the command would, have been
cut off to a luau. The dumber savtd
With Rpno was 329 including 5t woun
ded Tho loss omnng tho tndlans was
probably considerable, as bodies havo
been found In every direction, and they
left behind only a small portion of their
dead. Wo remained nearly two days
on tho sceno of tl.ls disaster to bury the
dead and propaie for transporting tho
wounded to n placo of safety. Tho
neighboring country was full of scat
tering bands of Indians watching our
movements, and doubtless prepared to
take advantage ol'any want of vlcllanco
to add to tho number of their victims
A species of rudo horso litter was con
structed of poles and strips of hide and
in these tho disabled wero carried 20
miles to tho fords of tho Big Horn
where they wero placed on bonrJ tho
steamer, nnd last night they weio
brought down to tho Junction with tho
Yellowstone. To-morrow tho steamer
will convey, the poor fellows to Fott
Lincoln. Gen. Gibbon's cavalry fol

and ascertained that they moved to
