Twelfth Seanor—ieWL C*p»ci!T SCO.

IOUILLWED BY IXDLY.XS. In the fall of 186C, while I was attached to Fort Hat* as a government scout and dispatch rider, the Sioux and Cheyennes were consolidating for tlie war which >pened in the s-jiring. BamU of stragshTs were riding about the country, st. aliug aud umrdcring when. ever o]ipartanity offered, and one .lay in ■ October, while rctuming to the fort from a long ride to.the north after sumo ! missuig horses. 1 eucounUTi-d one ..f these predatory, lands. It, numbered ; twelve Jiien, and a s-«n of the tTieyeUne , chief known us i'awnee Killer was in I command. While war had hot been de—■ dared, and while the Indians did not ! le -itate to appear at the forts and trad- j 1 tug posts, home one was being butchered } i every day, 1 had been on the watch for ! owlers and was as well prepared as a | re man ct*nld be. I had g Winchester | and two revolvers, and the only draw- ! hack was that 1 had found two of the j

horses and'had them with me.

1 was skirting a long, narrow fudge. ! badly broken by outcroppings of rock, | and the time was 2 o'clock in the afternoon. All of a sadden 1 caught sight of Indians about half a utile away'coming np the same side of the ridge. Indeed 1 beard them yelling before 1 saw them, and 1 turned sharp to the left and forced the bones up the ridge among a mass of bowlders and ontcnipping. The redskins caught sight of me as 1 went up. but did not immediately approach. 1 could see that they were confused, and a dozen >.r more shots were fired, and 1 was puzzling over the matter when 1 heard silme one clattering over the stony ground, and next iniimeut a white

'man jump-d. down h-

••Stranger, for Uml's sake stand 'em of until 1 can get my wind. They are Cheyennes, and have killed my bmtlierr Tiiree young bucks, on foot, had been it. close of the fugitive, and they were within 2t>0 feet of me as I rose up. The le .•vied rifle brunght them to a sudden halt, and after gazing at me for a m» ui'iit they tuniisd and deWBfltd the ridge to join the rest of the band. My visitor lay down, and it was five minutes before he could get breath to exjdain. "We were out looking for cattle which stampeded from our emigrant camp on the Saline Fork. These brutes killed my brother, and took me prisoner. That was yesterday, and about a mile below here they had gone-into camp and built a fire to torture rue when I made a break. Give me your revolver, for they’ll lie sure to charge ns.” I gave him one of the weapons, and ■Jn after an Indian appeared on the foot of the ridge, made signs of peace . and asked for a talk. Those on the level below me drew away about forty rods to convince me that they meant fair, and I left my shelter and advanced few {aces to ask theemindof the young warrior. While I was thus engaged the man behind me was railing the loose rocks together to strengths Hie {nstian. The redskin said he cainu to demand a prisoner. They had no quarrel with me, but the prisoner had shot one of their number in cold blood and must die. They only asked for justice. I had their word Unit 1 might ride away in safety, but the prisoner they would have at any sacrifice. I did not wait an instant before replying that the man would not be given up. and that I was ready for any move on their |iart to take him. The buck had left his rifle Iwhind him. and 1 stood there also apparently unarmed. As a matter of fact each of us bad a revolver. We were about half a pistol shot apart, and as 1 gave him ultimatum he half turned, whipped a revolver and fired a bullet which j iasscd within an inch of my head. Then le uttered a yell and started to run. but he was too late. My bullet struck him tinder the right arm and went clear through him. and he fell and curled up

hy a bowlder to die.

The situation was understood by the Indians Mow me almost instantly, and the entire crowd dismounted and charged ~p the ridge. It was a very foolish move «>:i their part and proved the excitability of young bucks. We bad them dead under our fire, and we killed three of them with as many bullets. 1 got a bead on Pawnee Killer's aim with my revolver as he urged his hesitating band to push up the ridge, and when be went down 1 thought I bad kill'd him. With Ida fall the fighting ceased. Tbssurvivorsmade a rush for their horses and then disappeared to the cast . Wiring the four dead ones where then- fell. I was puzzled at their cuodurt. nod at first regarded it as a ruse, but when I came to stand op and look around I saw a party of thirteen white men—hunters, trapper*, stockmen and adventurer*—coming up from the north oat their way to the fort. The name of the young man who so cleverly mtsped was Austin Brice, and

for the next year be w*

employ at the fart. He had Indian, a* stated by the flag cS truce bearer, hot the murder at ~ was entirely unprovoked and cold blooded. and the Indians meant to torture him

to derib

The bullrt which struck the young chief did not kill him. a* I at first s posed.' It struck him airengside them ran down to the corner of his mouth, lowed the line of the bps dowri to left hand corner, and passed over chin. The result was to give him a most horrible locking mouth, making bbt, an object of ridicule and contempt: and he notcmly swore to hare ray life, but Pawnee Killer proclaimed the fact that be wcwld g-.Tr fir* ponies and a revolver to any one who would faring him my acalp. Therefore, while actual hostilities had sot yrt begun, there mu a price set epoo The first attempt was made about two vseki after the fight os the ridge. A Sioux Indian, who rlaiiwd to have been outlawed from his tribe because be favored peace with the whitea, cazoe into Fort Bays, oatenribly for protection. Bf had no weapon*, seemed to be honest and xtraigotfarward, asd all the men Lad a good word for him. On the third day he came to me and asked my aaautaace to recover his rifle, blanket, a

lot of powder aud lead and various other articles, which he said he had cached at a spot about twelve miles dawn the Smoky Hill Fork in a grove. When he described the rpol I rvui'-mbcivd it very well; and next utuming. having permiKshm of the commandant, we ret out. I was on horseback and the Indian afooL 1 had my usual weapons, while -he had an army musket. He gave us lus name as Little Smoke, and

build and demeanor.

ralbsl me aside anil said: ■•Do you believe tliar' is a cached

••Why not?”

“Bekase an Injun says thar is. Alius take Ym contrary to what they say. Is

yonr scalp nailed oul” - "Do you mistrust the luanT

“Never saw one yit Unit 1 didn'L I'm

going to bet my rifle agin a keg of pow-

der that you don't come, back." As soon as We were out of sight of tlic

fort 1 motioned for. the Indian to take the had. He seemed to take it as a matter of course.-and he led off with a lopo and held it for six or seven miles without a halt. I bad not only to keep an eye‘on him. but scan the country as j well. He appeared to lie on thc.lookoat, as well he might be if his story was true, ! and about 11 o'clock we approached the spot where he claimed to have hidden 1 his property. 1 had kept him in the lead all the time, and we bad bad more or less shelter along the bank af the stream. Half a mile from the grove 1 drew rein "^•'1 will wait here while bf brother

goes forward after his property.”

. “Is the Swift Rider tired -with his

ride?' he .sarcastically answered. “Uiie must keep watch fuf danger. I j will do that, fur you will be busy.” •‘If my white brother is afraid he need

| not g...”

“If my red brother lias a cat-lie in the grove let him look for iL If not we

will retifra to the fort.”

He hesitated a moment, and then, satisfied that I was on my guard, he walked away aud soon dLsapjieatvd in the grove. I had every confidence that the trees Sheltered a bund'of redskins, and it would not bare surprised rue in the least to have seen a body of them dash out. 1 was therefore taken aback, at the end of about a quarter of an hour.to see Little Smoke reappear with a backload of stuff from hi* cache. Ho came straight toward me. but very slowly, and halted every few yards to adju-fThi* burden. I was carefully watching him when my horse sniffed the air uneasily, and all at once it came to me that 1 was being stalked. 1 left the shelter of the cottonwoods for the open ground, and as I rode away two bullets cipjied close to my licad, having been fired from the opposUe bank of the stream. At the same moment Little Smoke dropped hi* goods and fired on nio with his musket. While half a dozen Indians in my rear were yelling and shooting I rode down to within SOU feet of the smooth tongued traitor and dropped him dead in his tracks. There were five Indians in the ambnscadr, and they mounted their ponies and pursued me for three or four

miles, but I got safely away.

The second attempt was made in December. A half breed Cheyenne—an , old man with a very honest face—came j into tlie fort and reported that a white man, a trapjier. was in camp on tho river above n* with a broken leg, and lie had volunteered to come in aud report the case. Tlie distance was not over five j mih-», but tho. snow lay deep on tlie j ground and it was very sharp weather. The old man probably reasoned that 1 | wunld be sent oat to gnide the relief - party. He was asked to do so, but re- ‘ fused, even under promise of a gallon of whisky. This refusal aroused my puspicions, and instead of going out as a relief corps a dozen men went armed to the teeth. The place designated was a grove, and wc approached it as near as possible umler cover and then made a sudden dash. Eight mounted Indians rushed out on the other side. There were evidences that they had been there in camp for two or three day*. In the spring, when war had been formally declared, must of my work was along the Bmoky Hill stage route. When the stage* finally ceased running I carried food and ammunition to Hie station employe* or guided them safely to the posts. Lookout station, twenty miles beyond Fort Hays, was more cx{used to attack than any other on the route.' The hut for tlie shelter of tlie men was half wood, half mod. Two stable* filled with lay and oats flanked it and stood dangerously near. While at every other station the men liad made dngoau for their protection, this precaution had irra neglected at LouhonL bin.ill hands of Indians had appeared and been stood off by the well armed men. and they had came to believe that they could defeat any force likely to appear. On the morning of April 15 1 was approaching Lookout with WO Winchester cartridges for the men, when, [ just ais day fairly broke, I was discovered and purnoed by a bond of about fifty Indians. 1 got into the station after ' a lively chase, and within an hour it was surrounded by over a hundred redskins. I had been recognized, and they sent a flag of trace to offer the three men their live* if they would hand me over. This offer was twice repeated, and then the Indian* settled down to besiege the ttj*tion. During the day the firing was kept up at long range. All the bones in the ‘ ■' ‘ ■' ' i. bat

A movement is on foot in England for an exhibit of oil the new apparatuses which have been devised for the benefit and relief ,of invalids. It is to be under the charge of the English Association of Trained Nunes, and will certainly be instructive. Nursing is now recognized as an art and a profession.
