They were impletely surrounded on every side by least 2,500 id informed me that the baste of denera! Ouster in attacking the Indians duo entirely to himself. General Terry had informed General Cutter that ho (Tarry) would bo at the month of Little irn river on the 26th aler might expect to-find him there th Gibbons’ column. Terry marched agreed upon, but found the road muoh more difficult than he bad anticipated. The infant^ suffered terribly the 26th for water, the march being riling sun. Terry pushed on from ir o'clock in the moruing until fonr in > evening, when the infantry, oomItaly exhausted, were left In oamp, and Terry continued the march with ~ ivalry all night through a irkneoa. At daylight on the '26lh Terry was in sight of the mouth of tbs Little Horn, and had kept bin promise to Custer to be time early on the 26th of June. V ’dock Terry heard from Grow scouts of Coster's disaster, and

lev, or deferred his attack twenty, font hours later, Terry ayld have cooperated with him, and, in all probability, have prevented the disaster. A Crow Indian soout named ''Curley" in the day after the battle and I he was in the fight with Ouster, •ya the fight lasted over one hour. Caster contending against ten times his number. The moo fought splendidly until the big chief (Onater) fell, and

baen killed before Custer. •• Curley " the Indians fought Custer on foot, and charged his men again and again. He thinks a great many more Indiana
