This Is n true story of n freighting trip
nnd Indian fight that occurred In the far
west In 1805. The narrator Is a man fa
mous among sportsmen who have visited the
region where ho lives.
"Ono July morning In ISM , " ho said tea
a reporter of the New York Sun , "a freight
train of nlnoty-threo wagons , each drawn by
eight yoke of oxen , rolled out of Helena ,
Mont. , to bring up some freight \\hlch the
steamboats had unloaded on the Missouri
at the mouth of Milk river. Port llonton
was really the head of navigation , but the
water was very low that season , and few
boats could get over the shallow bars be
tween that point and our destination , 300
miles below.
"I had recently come to Montana , otul was
a green tenderfoot , one of a host of pilgrims
lured west by the gold fever. Hut , after
prospecting for a month or two , I concluded
that I wasn't a success as a miner. Ono
hundred dollars a month for driving eight
yoke of oxen seemed a much surer road to
wealth than digging a hole in the ground
with the chances of finding nothing but bare
bedrock at the bottom of It. Thus It hap
pened that I was onu of the ninety-three
bullwhacltcrs who drove the straining cattle
out of the rocky gulch and over the dusty
trail through the sagebrush plain that hot
July morning. On the farm at homo I had
driven oxen to the plough , so this work
was not entirely new to me. In a day or
two 1 became quite proficient with my twen
ty-foot whip , and thought I could crack It
almost as loudly as the best bulhvhacker in
the train.
"Next to the 'Diamond n. ' this freight
train was the largest In the country ; It was
owned by Holmes & Ilalch , the former part
ner being our wagon boss , or train master.
It required a man of rare tact and Judgment
to handle a lot of the bullwhackcrs of thnt
day. for no rougher , wilder set of men ever
lived. Holmes was such a man. lie did not
fraternize with his employes , but was kind
and considerate , low-voiced and pleasant In
his speech , and consequently was well liked
by all. Our lead bulhvhacker. the man who
drove the lead team , was Missouri Joo. said
to be the most expert man with a whip In
the west. He knew every one of the 1.500
cattle In the train , and could tell to which
team it belonged and Its' place In the line.
It was wonderful to see him handle his whip ,
which was twenty-five ft-et Ipng and weighed
twenty-six pounds without the stock. Ho
could hit a four-bit place ujne times out of
ten at twenty feet ; xvjtli , a wide , driving
popper on the end of It , lib could crack It as
loud as the report of a qnialf cannon ; pclnted
with silk , it was a terrible weapon. llalch
once bet $1.000 that Joe could whip a steer
to death In fifteen minutes. A largo steer
was turned into a corral , anrt carefully polnt-
Ing his whip with silk , and betting $300 him
self on the result , Joe 'prepared to win the ,
money. Standing In front of the animal at
the proper distance , he sent the Ions lash
between Its front legs , and back under the
belly with a powerful sweep. The slender
point of the lash cut open the steer's belly ,
and Its Intestines dropped to the ground ; In
thirteen minutes It was , dead.
"From Helena to Port Uenton , about
ICO miles , we made Rood , time. Arriving
at the fort \vt were not-nllowrd to'proceed '
until an army olllccr JirfU Inspected our
outfit , to see that wo wti-'c fully prepared
to light any ( hostile Indians wo might
racet. Each bullwhacker waa obliged to
carry a revolver , and slung up on the out
side of his wagon box , within easy reach ,
ho wcs obliged to keep a rifle , powder horn ,
and bullet pouch. In those days the coun
try cast of Kort Hcnton , along the Mis
souri , was infested by Asslnabolne and
Yanktonals Sioux , and war parties of other
mirroundlng tribes. The military authori
ties would not allow freight trains of less
than 100 men to go down Into this country ;
but wo were so near this number , ninety-
six of us , Including the cook and night
herder , and passed inspection so well , that
wo were told to proceed. The colonel , how
ever , Insisted on our taking one of his
cannon , a four-pounder , which , heavily
loaded with grapeshot , was attached to the
rear end of ray wagon , the last one In the
train. Freighters going Into this country
were also obliged to hire a guide and scout ,
whose business It was to see that the train
ran Into no ambush , and incidentally to
keep the outfit supplied with fresh meat.
We fortunately fcceured the services of a
man named novels , an ex-employo of the
American Fur company. Ho not only knew
the country thoroughly , but also was mar
ried to a Ores Vcntro squaw , and had
lived with her people BO long that he was
up to all the tricks of the wily rod man.
We were all very glad that ho was to ac
company us , and as It turned out It was
well for us he did.
"From Fort Benton ta the mouth of Milk
river the trail was over the rolling prairie ,
but wood and water were abundant , nnd
wo made good time. Every morning at
dawn the night herder brought In. the cat
tle and we yoked up and drove until 10
o'clock , when wo turned out and had break
fast. At 12 we yoked up again and drove
until 4 , when wo had dinner ; at 5:30 : or G
o'clock we were again on the road , and kept
going until dark. In this way , with frequent
opportunities to feed and rest , the cattle
did not get tired or footsore , and kept In
good flesh.
"Nothing1 occurred on Iho down trip to
hinder us. Day after day wo traveled
through nn Interminable herd of buffalo ,
but saw no Indians , llevols kept us well
supplied with various kinds of meat and
we lived high. I ust-1 to amuse myself by
shooting at the antelope as wo traveled
along , but never succeeded In hitting one.
I often thought I would llko to fire the
cannot Into a band of them , and made up
my mind I would do so at the first oppor
tunity.
"When but thrco or four mllct , from our
destination , the trail tump'l abruptly to the
right In order to cross a washout , and tin-
train made a wide detour to Birlhe the
pi-jper place. It was. a had crowing , and
we halted to give each inain ample tlmi : .
While waiting. I happriiert to look back and
saw a band of antelope nqt n quarter of a
mile off. Quickly Inserting a 'use. I sighted
the cannon at them and pulled the Airing.
It wag lurky for mo thnt I stood on one
side , for the plive. botindtM bark , nnd went
under the wagon an f.ir as the coupling
would reach. In a few mlnutre Holmes
r.imo back and- asked why I had fired the
rnnnnn ; nnd with n wink. I told him I
gtirwed the old thlnjt must have went off
of Its own accord. 1 thought that was the
on * ! of It. hut In a little while a small
squad of Vnltod States cavalry came hurry-
Ins up from the river , where they were
guarding the freight , to see what was the
trouble. They found us peacefully driv
ing along the trail , but couldn't Icnrn why
or by whom the cannon had been fired , and
went back to report. In an hour or no
wo reached the rneampnu'iit , nnd had no
sooner unyoked than the olllcer In charge , ; \
young lieutenant , fresh from West 1'olnt ,
sent a counlo of soldiers to arrest me. I
wan taken to his tent , followed by our whole
crowd , leaded by Missouri Joe.
" 'Seo here * , yonns man , ' said the lieuten
ant , 'did you fire that cannon ? '
"An I did not answer his question
promptly , for 1 was considering whether to
say I did , or whether to refuse to answer nt
all , the ofllcer got angry nnd continued ;
" 'Won't answer mo ? eh ? Sergeant , takv
him to the guard house and keep him there
until further onlcro. '
" 'No , you don't , ' said Missouri Joe , stop
ping up to my side. 'This here kid ain't
goln' to no guard house ; that Is. not till
you've lit an' licked this here outllt of free
an' Independent bullwhachers. Wo are
peaceable men , nnd don't want to flri < on
Uncle Sam's Hag , but Friday ( my nickname )
ain't goln' to no guard house. '
"Tho lieutenant was probably never so
surprised In his life. He stared at Missouri
In speechless amazement , and , seeing him
hesitate , Missouri took mo by thenrm , say
ing :
" 'Comp , kid , we've got to begin loading
up , ' and wo all went back to the wagons.
Nothing more was said about the affair.
There were not more- than llfty soldiers In
the camp , and the lieutenant probably con
cluded he couldn't arrest me.
"Wo worked hard to load-up the outfit ,
six tons of freight being stowed in each
wagon , and In a couple of days were
on the trail for Helena. Five or six days
after leaving the river we corralled the
wagons and unyoked for dinner by a big
Rprlng. While wo were eating , llovols , who
had been on ahead , came In and said the
country was alive with Indians.
" ' ' ho said 'but there's
1 scon only one , ,
lots of signs. I believe there Isn't less'n
200 , and they're Sioux. '
" 'Well , ' said Holmes , 'If that's the case ,
Hevols , what shall we do ? '
" 'Stay right hero tonight , ' he replied.
'Let the cattle go. No use sending a night
herder out with them , for ho would be killed.
The Indians will not bother the cattle , for
they have plenty of better meat. What they
want Is the freight In these wagons , nnd
our scalps If they can get them. '
"That night we put on a heavy guard and
slept In our clothes , ready at any moment
to get up If called , but everything was quiet ,
hml we began to think thnt Hevols had been
mistaken. At dawn , before It wns fairly
light , the night herder , George White , getup
up nnd called some of us to go out with
him after the cattle.
" 'I don't believe there's any Indians
about , ' he said to me , 'and the boss will bo
wanting to yoke up. '
" 'All right. ' I replied. 'Walt until I get
my boots on and wo will all go together. '
" 'Hurry up. then. ' said White. Til just
go up to the top of that little knoll nnd wait
Oil > ou fellows come. Maybe I can see the
cattle from there. '
"In two or three minutes those of us
whom White had called had pulled on our
stockings nnd boots nnd started out of the
corral after him. 1 jumped onto the herd
pony , which was feeding close to the wagon ,
lining his picket ropp for n bridle , and
started off a little to the right -of the boys.
who i\oro straggling along up the hill. Sud-
denly the one In the lead called to me , and
riding quickly up to him , 1 saw just over
the brow of the hill n man lying flat on his
back , his body stuck full of nrrows. IIo was
not only dead , but had been scalped , nnd
his whiskers had been taken , too. The
boys quickly lifted the body up and plnced
It across the horse In front of me. In the
dim light wo had as yet seen no .Indians ,
but ns soon as we turned toward camp they
j sprang up out of the grass nnd attempted
to cut us off.
"Arrows whizzed all around us. My pony
was struck In the flank by ono nml ho
reached the wagons before the boys had
fairly started , but from the hill to the cor
ral It was not more than fifty or sixty yards
and all got In safely. Not ono of us was
hit by the shower of arrows. For a few
minutes all was quiet , and then , from all
directions , mounted Indians began to ap
pear , shouting and brandishing their gaudy
shields an they circled about us. Most of
thorn were armed with bows nnd arrows
only , but a few had guns , nnd they fired
nt us as fast as they could load them. We
shot back , but so far as wo knew did not
hit any of them. They took good care to
keep beyond our range.
"After riding and whooping about for
half nn hour or moro they withdrew , nnd
wo hoped that they had left for good ; but
Itovois assured us that they would be back
again , and sure enough , about 4 o'clock ,
they reappeared and gave us another exhi
bition of their horsemanship as they circled
around and nround the corral. Hevols said
that wo were In for a regular siege , and
after a long talk with Holmes he told us
thnt as soon as It was dark ho would slip
out of the camp and try to find the Gros
Venires and bring them to our aid. These
Indians were hereditary foes of the Sioux ,
nnd bo had no doubt they would bo glad
to help us. We burled poor White that
evening , digging the grave in the center
of the corral. Hevols sneaked out of the
camp about 1) ) o'clock , and after listening
for an hour or more for the sound of his
gun ho said ho would shoot If the Sioux
discovered him wo put on a guard of
twenty men , and the rest lay down to get
a little sleep.
"Rovols did not return for four days , and
during that time the Sioux came up every
morning and evening , and sometimes
oftener. One day a lone redskin on foot wns
seen approaching the ccrrnl. We let him
come in , and he began talking and making
signs , but of cour.so we could not under
stand him. The cook gave him a plate of
food and a cup of coffee , and while he was
eating wo saw three moro of them coming
up ; and as they nearcd the corral still an
other little band appeared , all of them on
fcot and without any arms In sight.
" 'Ah. ha ! ' said Holmes. 'That's your
game , is It ? Hoys , just grab that fellow and
tie him up. "
"Tho mlnuto wo seized the fellow ho gave
a loud yell , and the others who were com
ing up turned around and ran hack , as fast
as they could , nnd we helped them along
with a few rlllo shots. The boys were feel
ing pretty blue over White's awful death ,
and many were In fnvor of killing our cap
tive to avenge It : but It sr-cmed to nrst of
us n cowardly thing to do , and wo finally
compromised the matter by shearing off his
( lowing locks and letting him go. This was
the most insulting thing we could have done
to him , nnd , aUlumiju he never uttered n
word or IlinclitJ while undergoing the opcra-

"About midnight of the fourth day. Hevoto
came In with 300 ( Ire * Venire * ; ln hnd found
their camp over on the Missouri nt Cow
talnml. and they had been greatly plwisod to
have n chance of n battle with ( heir old
enemies. Hovels unld they Imd left their
horses about flvo miles back , In chnrgo of fif
teen or twenty yotintt men , who would be on
the lookout , nnd brins them up as teen as
the- battle opened. We told him from which
direction the Sioux came when they charged
around us every daj. and a little while before -
fore daylight lie wont out and placed our
allies In the form of nn Inverted V ; at the
apex n wide pap was left for the enemy to
outer ; at the mouth of It WIM our corral.
The Ores Ventrco tdiovved considerable wklll
In concealing thetuselvrs on that seemingly
bare prairie. Whore the grasw was short
they covered themsolvpH with armfuls of It
whleh they plurkrd ; others got Into little
hollows , or behind n clump of aago bnioh ,
while n 'CTO hurrowod Into the ground like
badgers. At snnrlso 1 got up on a wagon
nnd looked carefully for n sign of them , but
not one was to bo seen.
"No breakfast wns cooked that morning ;
\\c were too excited to oat , and impatiently
waited for the Sioux to appear. About ! )
o'clock they came In sight , gracefully rid
ing their prancing ponies , nnd shouting and
singing , as usual. Wo fairly held our
breath as wo watched them , fearing they
would discover the trap laid for them and
escape. Hut on they came , never thinking
that they wen- , ninny of them , riding
straight to their death. Suddenly the CJros
Venires , with yella of Joy and hatred ,
sprang up and closed In benlnd them , and
HIP two long wings advanced , nhootlni ;
their guns and arrows as tn-y charged.
"For a moment the Sioux panned , nnd
then , re.illzlng fie situation , swept down
Iho ever narrowing lane as fast as they
could urge their horses. Already many of
Hum had fallen , and ns they came on they
begun to drop faster nnd faster. They were
so thoroughly surprised nnd frightened thnt
they did not try to fight , out thought only
of escnpe. Wo were now to have out
chance at them , nnd as tncy swept by on
each side of us wo emptied our rifles nnd
revolvers nt thorn , tumbling a number from
their saddles nnd sometimes bringing down
both horse nnd rider with a thud. In a
mlnuto they had passed beyond our range ,
and we rushed out , each ono of us anxious
to secure a shield or other trophy of tin
flKht. The Ores Venires were busy scalpIng -
Ing the dead and wounded , Mulshing the
job by braining each ono with their war
clubs to bo doubly sure lie waa a dead
! * lotix. In n little while their rear guard
brought up their ponies , and they mounted
and rode off on the tr.ill of the fleeing
enemy. Whether they overtook and killed
any more or not I never knew.
"Hrcnkfast over , a lot of us went out to
look for the cattle , which we found con
tentedly grazing from two to four miles
away. Hy 3 o'clock wo werp again strung
out on the trail. Toward evcnliu ; our al
lies began to como In , and wo camped early
and helped' the cooks prepare supper for
them. As soon as It wns dnrk thev Imllt n
huge fire In the center of the corral and
had a scalp danco. Wo all snt around ,
looking on , nnd not a few of us were rather
uneasy , especially those , like myself , un
used to Indians ar.d their ways. As they
danced by us thpy would swing their war
clubs over our heads , or point their guns
nnd arrows nt our breasts. Suppose they
should attnck us , 1 thought , what show
would wo have against 300 nrmeil Indians ?
Hevois , however , assured us that there
would ho no harm done , and ns he sat with
the chief , smoking a long-stemmed pipe ,
and talking and laughing , wo felt some
what easier.
"Suddenly there was an outcry among the
IndlntLs o\er on the right side of the corral ,
nnd In lero than n minute not ono was to be
seen. Hovels , who hnd run out with them ,
cnmo back presently nnd told Holmes that
ono of our men had slapped a dancer in
the face , and then some one said that ho hud
acpn Dan Wright do It. This Wright was a
bad man. Ho had been driven out of Vir
ginia City by the vigilantes , and Holims
had hired him because ho could get no one
else at the time wo were leaving Helena.
Wright's wagon wes loaded with high wines ,
and several tlmen on the road he had acted
as if partly drunk. Once Holme * noticed
him nnd reprimanded him pretty sharply ,
telling him. too , thnt ho would be held
strictly accountable for any shortage In the
freight In his wagon.
"Nothing Is so unpardonable lo an Indian
ns to strike him , and wo realized that if
they chose to recent the Insult wo would be
In serious trouble. Holmes told Hevols ( o
Inform the Gros Venire chief that the man
who had slapped his follower would be given
up If they wanted him , and they could do
what they pleased with him. In this we
nil agreed ; wo not only felt chagrined that
a party who had done so much for us should
receive such a return for their kindness ,
but were nlso exasperated with the drunken
ruffian who hnd insulted them nnd thereby
Imperiled our lives. Rvery one said tha't
ho deserved any punishment the Gros Ventre
would choose to Inflict. While wo were dis
cussing the matter Wright ran out of the
corral and disappeared In the darkness ,
calling out as ho went :
" 'Holmes , I'll got oven with you for this. '
"Hevols finally pacified the Indians , but
they did not dnnco any more that night.
They kppt company with us for three days ,
and then left for their camp on the Missouri ,
happy In the possession of over 100 pounds
of tobacco nnd a lot of powder and ball
which Holmes had distributed among them.
"In due time wo reached Fort Hpiiton , and
as soon aa wo camped some of Holmes ,
friends came over lo the corral nnd told him
that Wright was there and had sworn he
would kill him on sight. Holmes laughed
and said he wasn't afraid of him , nnd Just
then some one called out that ho was coining.
When about 100 yards from ns ho drew bin
revolver , and then Holmra drew and walked
out toward him. They began firing at each
other almost Immediately , and by the time
they had emptied their pistols , were face to
face , and simultaneously attempted to use
their knives ; but both were mortally
wounded , and , falling ; down In the grass , ex
pired before wo could roach them. Then
thcro was not a man of us but blamed him
self for not taking his rlllo and shooting
the desperado when ho first came In sight ;
but it was too late then lo say what wo
should or could have done , and after burying
Holmes , than whom a braver nnd kinder
man never lived , wo started on for Helena
under the leadership of Missouri Joe.

the smoko-llko air wnvcs In the roitr. there
appeared on the plate nn nrrow-hendcJ
wave that was caused by th- > hum of the
bullet. This hum broke the atmosphere
Into arrow-headed scciluns mat mi id bo
distinctly seen on the plate.
A comparison with the time when the
sound was heard with the time when the
sound could bo scon on the photographic
plato proved thai the soldier who "diicUn"
when lie hears the whiz of a bullet Is wasting
ingenergy , - for the bullet has passed when
the sound Is heard. Kxperlments with bul
lets of greater velocity bhuwed ( hat the
arrow-headed nlr waves were always at
the name shape , but with nn Increase of Im
pact they became sharper nt the point.
The ( inference between waves of the sc.i
nnd sound waves , us shown by the inter
esting experiments , Is thnt there Is no
noisy moving backward mid forward and
tossing tumultuously ns with wnter. Tim
nlr particles , burst nsunder by the Impact
of the projectile , scalier Into the atmos
phere , thus producing a greater density.
This action goes on continuously In front
of the bullet and on either side.
The nlr wave transmits Its energy to the
neighboring layer of nlr , which , being thus
compressed , becomes In Its turn the wnvo
front.
The air waves , now that man cnn sea
them by the aid of a photographic lens , are
shown to bo regular nnd systematic in
their habits. When distributed by thu
flight of the bullet the scatter In arrow-
headed wines until the disturbing clement
has passed on , when the layers of air re-
cell Into their former position. The mo
tion of the air particles was found to bo
wholly forward nnd back lo rest along the
same : \iili.
Experiments made to ascertain the condi
tion of the atmosphere caused the sounds
that are made by the striking of a plino
key revealed the fact thnt the vibration
sent out n succoLslon of pulsations of the
atmosphere , eneh of which Is an elnstlc nlr
wave Indcpemlenl of those which preceJo
and follow It.
The photographic Ions showed lhat the
sounds Keen were waves , of which the crests
are separated by distances of about four and
ono-half feet. The particles of nlr , It could
bo SOPH , were caused to make n forward
nnd backward swing. During the former
Iho air Is compressed ; during the latter It In
rarefied , each pulse of comproHsed nlr being
followed by one of rarefied nlr.
Kxperlmcnts v.'Ith the vibration of a violin
lin string showed thnt the nlr Is compressed
and released very suddenly , which gives the
sharper sound of the violin as compared
with that of the piano.
An atmospheric disturbance on n largo
acalc has a very different form of wave front.
The eruption of n volcano , If the proto-
grnphlc lens could bo turned on It , would
show a great ring-shaped wnvo front radiat
ing out to all points of the compass and going
half way round the earth. Then this wave
would contract when relieved of the pressure
ami return to the region of the volcano again.
From observations made during the final
paroxysms of the Krakntoa eruption. Mr.
Cornish is of the opinion thnt the great air
waves , If photographic apparatus could ho
constructed that would make them ns It
does the aerial disturbance inndo by a bul
let , would show thai Hie waves spread out
with dlmlnlnshlng Intensity at each journey
until they had made several couiplu'.o clr
cults of the globe.
