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.
