had the pleasure of being present at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Luke Wiles,
who are now in possession of their
father's homestead, located on one of
the beautiful hills adjacent to Platts
mouth on the southwest, to help cel
ebrate the ninetieth anniversary of
First Lieutenant Isaac Wiles, a vet
eran of the Civil war and who was
in command of Company H, Nebraska
2nd Cavalry regiment. Instead of
Captain Marshall, who was on the
sick list at the time of the battle
with the Sioux Indians at White
Stone Hills, on the head waters of the
James river in Dacota, in 1S63, Gen
eral Sulby, who was in command of
the brigade, after the battle report
ed twenty-one soldiers killed and sev
eral wounded, and a great many In
dians were killed and wounded. One
hundred and fifty Indians were cap
tured. The Indians ran away leaving
the tupess and buffalo "jerk".
Next day after the battle General
Sulby detailed two hundred soldiers
to destroy the tupess and all the
buffalo "jerk" "dried buffalo meat),
except a few thousand pounds of the
"jerk" that was loaded onto the wa
gons for a case of emergency. The
battle of White Stone Hills was a
severe lesson to the Indians and they
were. less annoying to the frontier
settlers after their defeat. Your
correspondent has given this bit of
Civil war history especially for the
young readers of your paper, to let
them know something of the priva
tions the early settlers of Nebraska
had to endure to secure- for them
selves and their children the com
forts they now enjoy.
To return to the birthday suhject.
the combined ages of four of the old
est veterans present was three hund
red and thirt--two years.
Oh. there were so many things to
talk about that the time passed rap
idly, and the social fellowship was
greatly enjoyed by all present.
We do not wish to forget to men
tion the feast of good things that
Mrs. Wiles and her lady friends
served on this occasion, but we fear
we could not praise them enough
for their efforts in supplying such
a great quantity of good food to eat.
At the tables Rev. Hollowell, in a
few well chosen words, invoked a
blessing on the aged lieutenant and
all of his friends present.
We are offering new and greater
bargains as our big sale progresses.
