Kopnbli- cnu vnllcy , nml having made u successful killing started lionio well supplied with Uio spoils of tlio clmso , but discovering a largo hurtl of bullalocs in tlicir path they could not resist tlic temptation of making one more sm ronnd. They wore moving up a deal ) canon , extending from the His- publican to tlio 1'lattu river , and in this rnvlnu they If It their squaws and children whiio they went on" to thu right of tlioir course in pursuit of tlio buflaioes. Un- fortuunlcly for them tlio Sioux were limiting in the same region , and they had discovered the movement on the part of Pawnees , and keeping out of sight until the 1'avnccs had got well into the cliusc , they tiffin made A itAii'i ox TIM : ] > iriNMt.r.ss : : : SQr.uvs and cliildren in the canon , and killed about ohu hundred and fifty of them. The bucKfi were informed of lliu massacre by a messenger and they hastened to the canon to avenge tlio death of their fami lies. The cowardly Sioux , however , did not wait to give them the desired oppor tunity , but lied from the vengeance that certainly would have been visited upon them. An interpreter afterwards in formed Major North that the Sioux were nshamcd of the cowardly massacre. In the winter of 1873-7-1 , Frank White ( Ko-wuc-woo-tah-kuh : White I'ox ) , and Big Spotted Horse ( Us-sah-tvuck-oo-ledc- o-hoor ) , who were Pawnois warriors of csnsldcrablo distinction , made a trip to tlio Indian territory and paid [ a visit to their old friends , the Wiehitas , by whom they were most cordially received and entertained. The Wielntas told them that they wished the Pawnees to come to the Indian territory and live with them as they were all one people , and they promised to give the two visiting war riors a large number of horses if they would induce the Pawnees to move. The two warriors , being influenced by these tempting promises , returned to the 1'awnce agency on tlio houp , arriving there just as the Pawnees were receiving their annuity money from Major Hurgess , the agent , and liarclay White , superinten dent of Indian all'airs in Nebraska. The returned warriors reported the result of their visit to the Indian territory and nuulu known the invitation which tlic AViclutas had extended to the Pawnees. The Indians went into council and the two warriors made speeches in which they praised in the most eloquent terms the hospitality of the Wichitas , and de scribed the INDIAN" TKIilJITOKY as a most beautiful country. They asked the superintendent and agent to intercede for the Pawnees with the Great Father at "Washington to obtain a relimmi.shment of their rights in Nebraska , and secure for them a tract of land in the Indian territory. The chiefs ot the tribe arose , one by one , and denounced as frauds thu.se two warriors who , as they claimed , were try ing to deceive the people. The chiefs were bitterly opposed to the contemplated movement , but the Mattering statements regarding the Indian territory wore re ceived with considerable enthusiasm by the majority of the tribe , who were in clined to acceiit the invitation ot the "Wichitas , nkliouirli there was not an ac knowledged ( ihif-f in favor of it. The next day Superintendent White , on having a talk with the Indians , found that the majority wanted to go , although the chiefs were Mill opposed to it. Superin tendent White then said that he would obtain lor the two warriors a transfer iromashinglon. . In a few days the transfer arrived , and then Frank White nml Uig Spotted Horse were permitted to emigrate to the Indian territory and tal.o with them all the people who wished to accompany them. When they got ready to start it was found that about three-fourths of the trjbe worn going with them. They took their own ponies , and Superintendent W him sent a government employe along with them to see that they got into no trouble on the way. All the chiefs and their families remained at homo. The Pawnees safely reached Tin : wn mi'A AIIN : < v , located QU the Washington river , in the southern part of tlio Indian territory , about forty miles from Fort SHI. andthoro met vvith-H'vory cordial reeoption , The Wichitas and other friendly tribes in the immediate vicinity madegood their prom ises by presenting the Pawnees with eight.or nine hundred horses and a large lot valuable trinkets. Tlio report of thi ) generous action of tlio Wichita * soon ri'iit'hod tlio oars of the Pawnee chiefs who had remained at homo , and then they linally camoto thu conclusion that it would be to their interest to move to the Indian territory , although I hey greatly regretted to leave their old reser vation to whloh they had become very much attached. After they hail deter mined upon the move , an appropriation was made by congress of $150,00010 , cover the expense of moving them , and $1COX)0 ( ) for I ho erection ot agency buildings in the l.ulhin territory. The agent purchased twonty-fivo horse tennis , wagons , etc. , to transport the re maining Pawnees and their movable property. Finally in the fall of 1871 they titatU'ii for their now homo. In croising the l.onp Fork old Po-ta-la-shar , head chiiit of thotrlbn , was shot in ( ho knee by the accidental discharge , of his pistol. Tlio wound was a very severe ono and the Indians wont into camp to await the result. The old chief , who was very su perstitions , like all Indians , said that the accident was A HAD OMIN : % that ho was going to die , that the tube would sillier great loss of life , and that they would regret the move which they were making. Sure enough ho did die in a few days , although the doctors , who | iid : been called from Columbus to nttcnil him , had said there was no danjrer of death , Alter the HL'iiiAi , oi > Tin : nmr : , the Pawnees proceeded on tlioir way to tie | Indian territory , which they reached Without further accident. They selected R recervutlon between the Arkansas and Ciiuurron riven ! , and located their agonev on lii'ur crook , ono hundred and eighty miles north of Wichita agency , fiero they were soon joined by the rest of the tribe who had preceded them with Frank. Whlto and Ilig Spotted Horse. It is a remarkable fact that the prediction of old * Jfr p Pc-tn-la-shar came true , for during the llrst eighteen months of the rcsldruce of tin1 Pawnees In tha Indian territory four- fifth * of nil the prominent chiefs and loading men of the tribe died , besides n great many others of the people , and to this day the Pawnees bcliovo that it was A \ISITATIOX OH Tin : OIIKAT si'iutr to punish them for following the two warriors , FrtMik White and Big Spotted HOMO. i\lajor \ Frank North , who was at Sidney llnrracks , Nebraska , received a dispatch on the 5th of August , 1870 , from ( General Sheridan directing him to report at once at military headquarters at Chicago. Upon arriving in Chicago Major North was cordially received at headquarters by ( it-noral Sheridan , who asked him if ho had not maih > a proposition to ( teneral Sherman to ralso a rouinicnlof one thou sand scouts and frontiersmen to take the Held at once TO Avr.xuu THI : DHATII or QENT.KAL cus- Tiit : , to which the major replied that ho had , but that Secretary of War Cameron had answered that there was no authority for accepting the the oiler. "I want you to go to the Indian terri tory and enlist one hundred Pawnees for immediate service , " said tJeneral Sheri dan. " 1 am somewhat disappointed , gener al. " said Aliijor North , "as I wanted to ral'su a regiment instead of a company. " "There is no authority for u.sini : so many scouts In any one department. The greatc number of Indian scouts allowed in each department by act of congress is two hundred , " replied General Sheridan. "Well , then , won't yon allow mo to enlist - list two hundred Pawnees and organize them into a batallionV" asked the major. "No ; wo can use only a hundred"said the general , who then inquired of the major as to the locality of HIP new Pawnee reservation. Major North , ac companied by his brother Luther North , nccordlnul.v proceeded to the Pawnee agency , m the Indian territory , it prov ing a long and tedious trip. They readied the agency one night at about 11 o'clock , and although it was nearly midnight it soon became generally known that they wore in the village. The news created the wildest commotion among the Pawnees , who came Hocking in from every direction. Major North informed them that ho iiad come to organ ise another company of scouts to take the field against their old enemies , he Siou.x. This was indeed WII.CO.MK : NIWS : to them , and so anxious were they to en list that many of the woung warriors re mained all niiht around the farm house , where the major was staying , in order to make sure of enrollment. The next morning Major North called a council of the chiefs , out of respect to them , at the agency-house , a line slono building , and they boomed to appreciate this act of courtesy. Ho asked permission of the chiefs to enlist the young warriors to the number of one hundred , and they unhesitatingly granted his request. Major Noith opened a recruiting oflice in the council-house. The room was quite large , and a high railing enclosed the agents desk. The major was inside the railing and the young warriors crow dcd in so thick and fast that they came very nearly breaking it down. Although he repeatedly told them that he could not possibly enlist more than one hundred , yet there were between three and four hundred present , and all equallv anxious t j enlist. Major North was finally abliged to take his books and papers and go out- sitlo , whore there was plenty of room , and there take the names. He enrolled the men as fast as he could write and in a few minutes he had one hundred , when he stopped. Many of the warriors who had not been fortunate enough to bo enlisted followed the company to Coll'evville , a railroad station in Kansas , in hopes that Major North would finally take them along anyway , and some , of them hoped that some of the enlisted men would become discouraged and turn back , and thus cre ate vacancies which they could fill. Not one of the enlisted men , however , went back. So determined were the disap- dointed ones to follow their comrades , that Major North had to station guards on the tiain to keep them oil'as it started from the depot. The great eagerness manifested by the Pawnees to enlist was due to the fact that they had been KII ; > I'CII : > TO AIMICT : TOVKKTY and suffering , and were in a most deplor able condition. Major North found them poorer and in more destitute circum stances than ho had ever beloro seen them. They had no blankets to wear , and all they had in the shape of a wrap or cover was some thin muslin or sheet ing. It was no wonder that they all wanted to go out upon the warpath ajiainst the Sioux , and obtain from the trovernment abundant rations , good uni forms and fair pay. When the Pawnee scouts arrived at Sidney they were at once supplied with arms , uniforms and horses , and were mustered into the government service to take part in the winter campaign of 1870-77 , under General Crook. Major North appointed his brother , Luther North , and Mr. dishing , as his lieuten ants , both of whom had been in the ser vice with him in previous campaigns. On the 15th of October Major North left Sidney and proceeded up tlio Sidney and lilack Hills stage road with his scouts , and went into camp at the crossing of the Niohrara river. He had boon there only one day when ho received an order by mounted courier from General Crook , at Camp Robinson , directing him to proceed without delay to Camp Robinson , timing his march so as not to show his command near the agency until after dark. Alajor North pulled out of camp about sundown and staned on the road to ltii : > CLOUD ACK.VC'V as fast as his teams and wagons could travel. When they had nuulu about fif teens miles they were met by a lieutenant with a small escort , who brought orders for Major North to join General McKen- mo : u > soon as possible to assist in tlio capture - turo of Ued Cloud's village. Ifed Cloud was located with his people in ihu hills near Chadron creek , about forty miles tram the agency. The agent , Major Howard , had ordered Hod Cloud himself to coino into the agency on tlirao dill'erent occasions , and had each time di rected him to move his camp within live miles of the agency , but as yet the old chief had not obeyed the instructions. At the lirst meeting ho told thoagt > nt that ho would ask his people if they were wil ling to coma in , his excuse for not promptly complying with the order being that the grass near the agoney was too thin for his horses. Ten days passed by , Uml Cloud failed to report , and ho was again sent for. This time the ugcnt informed him that ho must move his poo- pie , as he had been directed , within ten lays.KKl KKl OI.OUD IIIICAMK VI'.IIV MJU.njf and did not give any satisfactory ronlv , but went backto his camp , The ten ( lays' passed by. and ten more , and still Hod Cloud and his people paid no attention to the order. Again the agent summoned Rod Cloud into his presence , and then the old chief defiantly told him point blank , "If you think JOH can force mo in , you can begin at onco. " Ho then haughtily turned on his heel and took his departure. Major Howard now expected ami feared that Hed Cloud wasgoingto break out into open hostility , and being located so far from the agency , about forty miles , ho could easily inaugurate a war ot his own or send out war parties without the knowledge of the agent or anybody else at the agency. For these an-1 other reas ons , Major Howard deemed it advisable to bring him nearer the agency , where the military could watch and control him. Major Howard was aware that General Crook was organizing a winter campaign and ho wishodall the poacenil Indians to oo collected in the vicinity of Camp Iloti- insuti , so that they would not become dis affected and join hostile bands. Major Howard , therefore , finally applied to the military for force enough to compel Krd Cloud to move in , and if necessary to whip him into submission. It was for tills object that General McKen/.ie had organ- zil an expedition and had started out from ( 'amp Hobinson. The lieutenant , who had been sent out by General McKonzio. nrged Major North to hurry forward as rapidly ns possible , as the scouts would have to ride forlv miles before daylight. Major North informed him that his horses were not all in good condition , but that he would pick out forty or fifty of the best ones that wore nblo to make the forced inarch. He accordingly selected forty- eight men and horses , and taking his brother Luther with him , ho started oil' on the gallop with the detachment and rode fifteen miles without stonping which made thirty miles the troops had ridden since sundown when they over took General McKenx.io , who had with him eight companies of the Fourth cav alry , his scouts bolng Todd Randal ! and Louis Kichaud. The united forces then traveled a distance of about twenty miles to a point where the trail foiked. Hero General MeKcn/.io divided his cavalry into two parties. Major Gordon was as signed to the command of four com panies of the cavalry and twenty-four Pawnee scouts , under Lieutenant North. They took the trail on the right-hand leading to the PA Mi > or swirr iu\it : , who was of the same band as Ued Cloud. General Mclvonviio with the remaining four companies and twenty-four scouts under Major North proceeded on the left-hand trail towards ur.i > CI.OLD'S OAMP. Major North , with three of his scouts , rode a mile in advance of the command , keeping a very sharp lookout tor Indians , When they had ridden about live miles one of the Indians called Major North's attention to a peculiar sound which he had heard , and stopping their horses they all listened , and in a few minutes ' the'sound was heard again. It proved to be the PUOWIXO or A iioosTr.it. Major North , who had not been in that region of the country recently , was un aware of any settlers having located there , but ho thought possibly that there might bo some isolated ranch in the vi cinity. Ho returned to General McKen- /.io and reported the circumstance , and thereupon Todd Handall , who was with the column , said that tncy were close to Hed Cloud's earn ] ) , as Red Cloud had a lot of chickens. It was now ! ! o'clock in the morning and very dark Major North again look the lead , and tlio column fol lowed him to the point whore thccrowing of the rooster had been heard , and there they listened again and plainly heard the crowing. They then left the trail and took n course Indicated by the noise of the rooster , and , cautiously marching for about half a mile they came to a per pendicular bunk , forty or fifty feet high , at the foot of which ran a stream of water. Looking down they suddouly discovered Red Cloud's villagu. It was yet too early to make the attack , and the command was accordingly moved back , cautiouslv and quietly , some two or three hundred yards. Major North then made a thorough reconuoisancq of the sur rounding country with his scouts , and made frequent reports to General Me- Ken/.io concerning the lay of the laud and the most desirable place for locating the troops. Acting upon Major North's suggcitions , General McKen/.ie sent two companies up the creojc with some of the Pawnee scouts as guides , to a point Where they could make a crossing with out disturbing the village , and they wore then to come down on the othersido until they came opposite the camp , and there take position. Another company was or dered up the crook to form a line acro-s the bottom or valley to cut the Indians oil' from retreat. Half of tlio remaining company were directed to dismount and go on foot down the creek and form another line acres the valley and march up within easy range of the village and remain there 'until daylight for tiirthor orders. General McKon/.Io with the bal ance of the troops and scouts remained in position back of the steep bank. Two hours passed away before it be came light enough for the men to sight thfir guns and make a successful attack. General MeKon/.ie then ordered Todd Randall , the interpreter.to go to the edge of the high bank and cry out in a loud voice to the Indians in their language seas as to attract their attention. None of the Indians had yet risen from sleep , and when Randall loudly sang out a few words a few squaws made their appearance , and at once discovered Hint the village was surrounded The ' quaws immediately reported the fact to Red Cloud and his warriors , none of .whom , however , came out of their tepees o" showed themselves , but the women and cliildren came rushing out pell moll and made a dash for the brush and up the creek , crying and yelling in the wildest confusion. No shots were lired by the troops , strict orders having been given by General MuKenxie to do no shooting until after the Indians had lired. Major North , in obedience to instructions , im mediately WITH HIS sTOfTS down through the village and roimdrd up the Indian horses , which were driven to a place of safety in the rear , The dismounted cavalrymen marched up into the village , and met with no re- sistane'1 whatever , much totheirsurpn.se. The warriors refused to come out of tlioir tepees , and actually had to be pulled out from ono tepee after another. The war riors , after all were secured , wore dis armed and placed in aline under a guard Gcnural McKcn/.io , through hi- , interpre ter , directed the squaws , all of whom had been gathered together , to go to the bunch of horses and select a sufficient number on whieh to pack their camp equipage and utensils , and then to break camp as quickly as possible , as it was his intention to return to Camp Robinson that day. The squaws were surly and sullen , and for two long hours the soldier. ? worked with them in trying to induce them to break them to break up the camp and puck their valuable property on the horsey. General MoKou/.io finally hocamo impatient and told them ho would give them only a few minutes longer , and if hey did not then comply with his com maiul ho woL ii > itfii.v Tin : vn.i.Ani : . The .squaws , however , remained obstinate and would not stir. The general then ordered the soldiers to fire the villngo , and soon the devouring llames were Ida/- ing inory quarter. The squaw * sot up a chorus of whoops and yells and sobs , and then went to work to tear down the tepees In a hurry , thus succeeding in saving a great many of them. When the tire hud ceased , General MoKon/.lo gave orders to prepare to march. The Siou\ warriors numbered about fifty , anil were placed in a hollow square , with a com pany of cavalry at the head and a com- panj' at the rear , with the Pawnees In sin gle file on each side. The column then returned to the fork of the trail , whore General McKenzIe halted tosend messen gers to Major Gordon , who at tins point had gone off to attack Swift lienr. Gen eral McKcnzIo sent Major North , with two Pawnees , to Swift llear's camp , .somo live miles distant , witli dispatches to Major Gordon , whom he met on the way returning with Swift I tear's whole band. whom ho had surprised and captured without a struggle. Immediately after the two columns re united , an "account of stock" was taken , showing that ono hundred and twenty warriors and their families hud been cap tured , together with their arms and am munition , and seven hundred and twenty- two horses. The whole command reached Camp Hobinson at 0 o'clock that night , having ddden over nun hundred miles in tweniy-sovcn hours without food for their horses or themselves. At this , time there were at lied Cloud agency between eight and nine thousand peaceable Sioux Indians , of different bands , all of whom wore being fed anil otherwise provided for by the govern ment. Heil Cloud was then the acknowl edged head chief of all these Indian ! ! , but ho had became inoioso and obstinate and had gone off with his ou n little band , Those Indians knew all about the war that was going on. Tliov had learned of the Custer massacre , and it was greatly feared that something might occur to bring the peaceable Indians out upon the warpath. Great care and precaution had to ho exorcised to prevent any thing of the kind The warriors who had been brought in with Hed Cloud were placed under guard in n strong building , and the squaws were allowed to go down on the creek , near the agency , and make a camp tor themselves. The captured her < es wore sent in charge of Major North to Fort Laramie. General McKen/.te with his command soon after marched to Fort Lara ink * , and wa followed by General Crook who came alone in an ambulance.
