OUSTER'S LAST FIQHT. New UctulU of tlio Miisxucro of tlio Mttle JJlR Hum. The January Century contains a pro- fuaoly illustrated doscriptlon of "Cus- tor's Laet Battle , " by Captain Godfrey , the commander of a troop under Custor. From it wo quote the following : "Tho nccoptod theory for many years aflor tlio battle , and still persisted in by some writers , was that Ouster's column had turned the hiph blulTs near the river , moved down the dry ( Reno's ) creek , nnd attempted to ford the river near the lowest point of these blulTs ; that ho was there mot by an overpow ering force and driven back ; that ho then divided hta battalion , moved down the river with the view of attacking the village , but mot with such resistance from the onoiny posted along the river "bunk and ravines that tie was compelled to fall talc , lighting , to the position on the ridge. The numerous bodies found scattered between the river and tho- ridge-wore supposed to bo the first vic tims of the light. I am now satisfied that those were men who either sur vived those on the ridge or attempted to ascapo the massacre. 'Ouster's column was never nearer the river or village than his final position on the ridge. The wife of Spotted Ilorn Bull , when giving mo hoi- account of the battle pcrsibtod in saying that Ouster's column did not attempt to cross at the ford , and appealed to her husband , who supported her statement "On the battloliold , in 1880 , Chief Gall indicated Ouster's route to mo and it then Hashed upon mo that I myself had seen Ouster's trail. On Juno 28 , while wo were burying the dead , I asked Major Reno's permission to go on the high ridge east or back of the field tp look for tracks of shod horses to ascertain - certain if some of the command might not have escaped. When I reached the ridge I saw this trail and wondered who could have made it , hut dismissed the thought that It had boon made by Ous ter's column , bocaueo it did not accord with the thoqry with which wo were tlion filled , that Custor had attempted to cross at the ford , and this trail was too far back , And showed no Indication of loading toward the ford. Trumpeter Poiiwoll was my orderly and accompanied mo. It was a singular coin cidence that In 1880 Ponwoll was sta tioned at Fort Custor and was my or derly when visiting the battlefield. Ponwoll corroborated my recollection of the trail. ' "Tho ford theory arose from the fact that wo found there numerous tracks of shod horses , but they evidently had boon made after the Indians had pos sessed themselves of the cavalry horses , for they rode them after capturing thorn. No bodies of men or horses were found anywhere near the ford , and these facts are conclusive to my mind that Ouster did not go to' the ford with any body of men. As soon as Gall had personally con firmed Iron Collar's report ho sent word to the warriors battling against Uono and to the people in the village. The greatest consternation prevailed among the families , and orders were given for thorn to louvo at once. Before they could do so the great body of warriors had loft Reno and hastened to attack Cuator. This explains why Reno was not pushed when so much confusion at the river crossing gave the Indians every opportunity of annihilating his command. Not long after the Indians began la show n strong force in Ouster's front , Custor turned his column to the loft and advanced in the direction of the vlllngo to near a place now marked as a spring , hulled at tlip junction of the ra- vlnoa just below it nnd dismounted two troops , Koogh'd and Calhoun's , to fight on foot. These two troops advanced at double tlmo to a knoll , now mnrkod by Crittotidon'tt monument. The other throe troops , mounted , followed them a short distance in tholr roar. The lead horses remained where the troops dis mounted. When Keogh and Calhoun get to'tho knoll the other troops marched rapidly to the right , Smith's troops do- ployoa na skirmishers , mounted and took position on n ridge which , on Smith's loft , ended In Rough's position ( now marked by Crittundon's monument ment ) , and on SinlthV right ended on the hill on which Custor took DOB It Ion with Yates nnd Tom Ouster's troops , now known as Ouster's Hill , and marked by the monument orcotod to the com mand. Smith's skirmltJiiors , holding tholr pray horses , remained in groups of fours. "Tho line occupied by Ouster's bat talion was the first considerable ridge luiok from the river , the nearest point Volttg about half n mlle from It His front was extended nbout throo-fourtha of n mllo. Tlio whole village wan In lull view. A few hundred yards from his line was another but lower ridge , the further elojio of which was not com manded by his lino. It was here that the Indians under Crazy HOMO from tlio lower p.irt of tlio village , among whom were the C'hoyoniioa , formed for the charge on Custor'a Hill. All Indians had now loft Kino. Gall col lected Ills warriors and moved up a ravlno south of Keogh and Calhoun. As they were turning this Hank they discovered tholod ho HOB without any other guard than the IIOIMO holders. They opened Ilru upon tlio liorBO holders and unoil tlio usual devices to otnmpodo the horses that is , yelling , waving blanlcots , ok1. ; In tills they suc ceeded vary soon , and tlio horses wcv-o caught by the squaws. In this disaster Keogh aim Calhoun probably lost their reserve ammunition , which was carried in the saddle hags. Gall's ' warriors now moved to the foot of the knoll hold by Calhoun. A largo force dismounted nnd advanced up thoalopo far oiiough to bo able to see the soldiers when standing erect , but were protected when squatting or lying down. By jumping up and fir ing qilickly they exposed themselves only for an Instant , but draw the lira of the soldiers , causing a witsto of ammunition. In the meantime Gall was massing his mounted warriors under the protection of the slope. When everything was in readiness , at a signal from Gall the dis mounted warriors rose , Ilrod , and every Indian gave voice to the war whoop ; the mounted Indians put whip to their ponies and the whole muss rushed upon and crushed Calhoun. The maddened mas * of Indians was carried forward by its own momentum over Calhoun and Crlttondon down Into the depression where Keogh wits , with ever thirty men , and all was over on that part of the field. "In the meantime the same tactics , were being pursued and executed around Ouster's Hill. The warriors , under the leadership of Crow King , Cra/.y Horse , White Hull , "Hump" and others , moved up the ravine west of Ouster's Hill and concentrated under the shelter of the ridges on his right flank and back of his position. Gall's bloo.ly work was finished before the annihilation of Ouster was accomplished , and his victorious war riors 'hurried forward to the hot encounter - counter then going on. and the frightful massacre was completed. "Smith's men had disappeared from the ridge , but not without leav ing enough dead bodies to mark their lino. About twenty-eight bodies of men belonging to this tioop and other organizations were found in one ravine near the rivor. Many corpses were found scattered ever the field between Ouster's line of defense , the rivor. and in the direction of Rono's Hill. These , doubtless , were of men who had attempted to escape ; some of thorn may have boon sent as couriers by Ouster. Ono of the first bodica I re ag- nlxed and ono of the nearest to the ford was thill of Sergeant Butler of Tom Ous ter's troop. Sergeaiil Butler was a Boiler of many years' experience and of known courngo. The indications were that ho had sold his life dearly , for near and under him were found many empty cartridge shells. "All the Indian accounts that 1 know of agree that there was no organized close quarters fighting , except on the two Hunks : that with the annihilation at Custer's Hill tho'battlo was virtually ovor. It does not appear that the In dians marto any advance to the attack from the airoction of the river ; they did have a defensive force- along the river and in the ravines which destroyed those who left Ouster's lino. "Thoro was a great deal of firing going on ever the field after the battle by the young men and boys riding about and shooting into the dead bodies.1' araous JOKES. Marshal Wilder Involves u Pretty 1'nlr of 'Kin , . .Old people aren't the only ones who like old jokes best , especially if the listeners llvo in the country. A circus manager onoo hired a now clown , and as the follow had been out of employment fora long while and wanted to-show his gratitude to his now employer , ho laid himself out to got up a brand now lot of jokes. They were lirot rate jokes , too , but when ho" tried thorn on the audience the people were as solemn as if they were taking pills. The manager got up a howling rage and wont for the clown , exclaiming : "Blank blank you , what do you moan by getting up all that stuff ? " ' 'StufT'r1" echoed , the clown. "I'd like you to understand , sir , that those are all now jokes. " "Now jokes bo hangcdl" roared the manager. "Got right out there and crivo them all the old chestnuts or the reputation of this show will bo gene for ever. " The clown obeyed o-ders and within five minutes that show was so full of laugh that the manager was afraid ho'd have to put an extension on the tent to hold it all. The old folks saw what was coming each time the clown began , so they had time to lot a reef or two out of their faces so as to bo ready to laugh when the point came in , while the young people who Had boon at cirousos before looked as expectant as a young girl or follow at the gate under twilight , wait ing for the other to coma. Speaking of circuses and old jokes re minds mo of a story which was told twice a day in the ring by that sunurb clown , Dan'Rlco , so long ago that It ought to bo entirely now to this day and genera tion. It was first told ono Saturday night when the show had reached town so that the performance was running Into Sunday morning , and the manager thought ho could pay some respect to the character of the day by getting off a moral rollectlon or two. So when the clown swore at the trick mule the man ager , who was also ringmaster , re marked ; "Stop stop , sir ! Don't curse that mule. Don't you know that God made him ? " "What ? " drawled the clown , who was none other than the great nnd only Dan himself , and to whom iho manager whisporoA what ho was up to , and that Dan must find some gag to wind up with. "IsthatsoV" "Certainly , sir. God made that mule , and lie made the earth and everything in it" "What ? Miulo all the people , too ? " "Yos , sir. Made man first , and then woman. " "You don't toll mot Well , making man must have been a big job , but to make woman that must have boon an awful puzzler. " "Puzzler , sir ? Why should it have boon u puzzler ? " "Why , because. " "Booauso what , sir ? " "Because it must have boon so hard to ( louldo whether to mnlco her a blonde era a brunette. ' ' Dr. Cullimoro , oculist , Boo building The Wliln liitorrntt'il Him No .Horn.

" In garnitures this winter tlia real nov.pltlos and elegances are in inn form of various kinds of mingled openwork nnd solid em broideries and cutwork in velvet. In the production of embroideries upon cloth and other fabrics , Venetian designs nave been largely followed. For walking costumes , thick , hairy , woolen fabrics are preferred , brown and neu.ral tints prevailing , with. sometimes a sprinkling of white or yellowish hulrs. Others are In woven stripes or plaids , with a touch of some bright color ever grounds of russet or dark blue or gray. More drossy costumes nro made of very light colored and excessively line cloth. rnoioliL'ht cloth dresses , which , disappear under the long /nautlo out of doors , nro were for visiting and afternoon receptions.

Small fur collarettes are also to bo seen , The muffs are made to match. The "boa constrictor" coat is the fuuulcst whim of the smart girl.
