EXCAVATION SHOWS HOLT COUNTY WAS ONCE THE HOME OF MANY INDIANS (Continued from page 8.) while the iron was whiite hot. This general issued orders calling for the men under General Reno to ford a stream and tie into the enemy forces from one side. On the other side, he sent the men under General Benteen, so should the Indians make off in that direction, they could not, and should be at the mercy of rifle Are from several directions. General Custer then gathered the men under him and left with the in tention of striking a death blow just as soon as he saw a good opening. The Custer forces had not gone far when a series of war whoops caused them to prepare for battle against a number of Indians that still is in dis pute. The forces of Reno and Ben teen were kept under such hot rifle fire they could do nothing to help the Custer forces and besides they had no knowledge one of the greatest trage dies in the history of the United States army was taking place within a rifle shot of their positions. Captain Reno and his men did make strenous efforts at fording the Little Big Horn and failed because the Indians had pre pared for just such a move and they rained a well-directed hail of rifle bul lets where it should do them the most good.
