survejors were in the field in
Southwestern Nebraska running
guide lines and meridians as a
basis for the work that was to be
done later W E Daugherty wai
in charge of a party that on the
21st day of August of that year
had an encounter at some point
which has not been definitely lo
cated with a band of Sioux In
dians After a battle that lasted
from early morning until night
the whites made their escape in
the darkness without the loss of
a man In a letter dated at
North Platte August 24th 1869
addressed to A L Brown chief
clerk in the office of the survey
or general of Nebraska Daugh
erty described the adventure as
follows
On the 21st about 6 oclock
in the morning a small partv of
Indians made a dash into camp j
and shot one of our horses and
succeeded in running off the bal-

W C T U meeting Friday in a report made by Lieutenant

church brotherhood room cavalry of the substance of a
stafonent mfldp bv n snnniv
surveying party After detailing
the incidents of this affair the
report continues
The next morning the Indians
marched northeasterly recrossed
the Republican and camned on
For long while they hunted
on this creek following it up and
crossing over the head of Stink
ing Water While there a party
joined them coming from the In
dians
While hunting here a party of
white men were reported Som
discussion appears to have now
ensued Whistler said We Wont
fight them We are foolish Let
us make peace Some men went
out toward the white men waving
white flags The white men fir
ed and killed an Indian horse
The men came back to camp and
all even the women and children
went out after the white men
They surrounded them and
held them some shots being ex
changed until night Two Brule
Sioux were killed and several
horses No white men killed
During the night the white
men went off The Indians knew
they were creeping out but only
wanted their rations and tobacco
and allowed them to go It had
been decided the day before to
do so
