Ixxk 25c IERUES OF FAMOUS FIGHT Reunion of Sarriring Scouts of Battle of Beecher Island. UNEQUAL FIGHT WITH DTDIAHS Recollections of tho Fight of Colonel tteorge A. Forsyth nnn Fifty Bconts Against Ono Thon amnd Indians. Six men, some of them enfeebled by bul let wounds and all of them bearing pain ful memories of the most desperate In dian conflict and siege In frontier history, gathered about a granite shaft In eastern Colorado, near the Kansas line, In the bright sunshine of mid-September. They were members of Forsyth's scouts, and had come to attend ths tenth reunion and fortieth anniversary of ths battle of Beecher Island. Forty years ago these sis scouts were grouped on the bank of the Arlkaree river under different clrcumstancea. Where the granite monument now stands a joint tribute from the states of Colorado! and Kansas men were falling, stricken Sown by Indian bullets. A few yards away, across the little stream that Is hardly mors than knee deep In Its sandy bed, nearly a thousand warriors, Cheyennes, Arapahoes and Brule Sioux, were pouring a deadly fire Into the half hundred soouts under command of Colonel George A. Forsyth. The Indians had swept down en the scouts at dawn on September 17, and the little command had been forced across ths river to a tiny Island at the upper end of which stood a few Cottonwood tree. The Indians, under command of the great fighting Chey enne, Roman Nose, thought their victory would soon be complete. Flva of the scouts were killed, Including Lieutenant Fred Beecher, and nearly a score were wounded. Including Colonel Forsyth, who had fallen with a shattered hip, but who waa coolly directing the . work of - scooping out rifle pits In the sand. Boon most of ths soouts were protected by rude pits and the carcasses of slain mules and horses. Furious because ths small command had not been wiped ant. Roman Nose launched an attack that hag few parallels In Indian warfare. Marshal ing his warriors In military fdrmatfon, the war. chief gave the command to charge. The scouts knew that the crucial moment had come and reserved their fire until the horsemen were in the stream. Then voll after volley broke forth from the scpits and the Indian line broke and swept around the Island, only to bo re-formed by the dauntless Roman Nose. - Attempt to Starve Then Oat. Three times the Indians charged, and success would have crowred their efforts at the last attempt had none of the sharp shooters behind the rifle pits succeeded In killing Roman Nose Jast before the glguvtlo leader of the Indiana reached the Island. Dismay spread through the ranks of the Indians when the chief fell. There were no more charges,. but the redskins, knowing that the scouts were without pro visions. encircled the Island and settled down to a siege. But even this contingency was met by the resourceful Foisyth, who called for volunteers to penetrate the besieging lines and to get aid from Fort Wallace. The first night "Jack" Stlllwell and Pierre Trudeau succeeded In getting through. Tho second ralght two others mads the attempt, but were turned back by the watchful Indians, and the third night "Jock" Donovan and A. J. Pllley succeeded In getting away without attracting the attention of the besiegers. The scouts all reached Fort Wal lace about the' same time. Donovan 'and Fllley arriving only an hour behind Btlll weli and Trudeau. who had started two nights ahead of them. Donovan Joined the relief expedition and guided It back to the Island, and the siege was lifted on the ninth day. Such in brief Is the story of Beecher Is landthe battlefield having been named In honor of the gallant young lieutenant, a nepnew or Henry Ward Beecher, who was the one of the first to fall under the In dians' murderous fire. Ten years ago two or three of the scouts located by the battle field, a memorial association was formed and a temporary wooden monument put up. in Mi the states of Colorado and Kansas built s, monument costing tlO.000, on which are engraved the names of the scouts who took part in ths fray and a brief account of the battlefield. The government has set aaide the battlefield as a national park. ine graves or Beecher, Dr. Moore, Culver, Farley and Wilson, who were killed on the island, have been marked with headstones and the patrtotio people of the vicinity see that the grounds are not disturbed by van dak. The annual reunions of the scouts attract widespread Interest, and the country people flock to the battlefield for miles around and spend several days camping wim ine oia Indian fighters and hearing their version of the encounter. This year the scouts who took part In the reunion were Thomas Ranahan of Win ner, Idaho; Howard Norton of Tescott Kan.; A. J. pllley of Kansas City, Kan George Green of 8edra Woolley, Wash E. A. Gilbert bf Beagle, Kan., and J J Peate of Beverly, Kan. Qf these scouts Ranahan and Gilbert had not been on the field since the fight. Gilbert waa shot through the lungs early In the engagement, but recovered and served as an Indian scout many years. Norton had an eye shot out and Peate was one of the first men to reach the island with Carpenter's relief ex pedition from Fort Wallace. Pllley, whose exploit In going to Fort Wallace for relief in company with Jack Donovan, is cut on the granite monument, modestly related his experiences during that terrible expedition. After Relief Expedition. "After the first day s fighting," said Mr Pllley, "It was plain that ws must get aid from Fort Wallace or we d be starved out If our position waa not taken by assault At the first call for volunteers St II well and Trudeau started out. Of course we had no means of knowing whether they got through the Indian tinea or had been killed so it was decided to send out others. Thi second night I volunteered, and a big heavy chap who was not built foe ...J work Insisted In going along. We crawled j .ra mo island, but svery once In awhile the sky would be Illuminated with flashes of heat lightning, which mrf. hi-. covery imminent.

We -could only travel by night, , however, and had not gone a mile before we found out what a mistake we had made In ' leaving off our boots. The moccasins were wet, and the cactus thorns, which were plentiful on the desert, went Into our feet like needles Into a pincushion. Soon we were hobbllhsjiV painful fashion, but walked until awn, when we took ref age in a buffalo wallow on the. open prairie, knowing that we would hava to remain concealed all day. Narrowly Escape Capture. "Wo took off the moccasins In the en deavor to ease our feet. The cactus thorns broke off. Instead of pulling out of our feet, and then, when we put the moccasins on again, the broken pieces simply drove Into our skin In new places. We had no water and the sun was blistering hot Wo dared not stir from our shelter, as we knew there were Indians all about. In the middle of the afternoon we gave ourselves up for lost, when we saw a war party of bout twenty-five Indians riding straight toward us. We looked to our rifles, and Donovan, who was the lightest hearted man I ever knew, began to sing. But when within a quarter of a mile of us the Indians stopped and, after much argument, changed their direction and disappeared. At night fall we resumed our march, guiding our selves by the stars and at midnight we got to the south fork of the Republican river,, the Arlkaree being the middle fork. After bathing our swollen and festered feet we pressed on, and at dawn took shelter an dwaited until nightfall. "At 8 o'clock the neit morning we struck the Smoky Hill stage route and knew that moat of .our troubles were over We ar rived at a little ranch house and told the man there who we were and asked them to wake us when the stage arrived, after which we fell aaleep. When the stage came we rode to Fort Wallace. Stlllwell and Truden had arrived a short tiny be fore and a relief party, under Colon m Car penter, waa aireaay unoer way. x waa too sick and exhausted to go another mile, but the heroic Donovan ate a bite of food and Jumped on an old mule and started out after Carpenter, knowing that, without a guide, the relief party might never find Forsyth. Bure enough, he found Carpen ter going up the south fork of the Re publican river, instead of the middle fork. Donovan guided the party aright and was the first man to arrive on the island." Jrk Donovan, Hero. "And every one of us on that Island owed an everlasting debt of gratitude to the scouts who went for relief, and par ticularly to Jack Donovan God bless him!" said "Tom" Ranahan. "There wasn't a one of us who fell back on that little Island after those Indians came sweeping down on us that didn't think he was face to face with certain death. All we thought of was giving as good an account of our selves as we could, but such a thing ai our heads, lliose Indians felt sure of us, HAVE YOU TRIED Wll.

Lord! what a sight tt waa when that big chief Roman Nose lined 'em up and led those charges! The squaws and chil dren were on a high bluff a few hundred yards up the river, yelling and singing, but they got to walling when we began to bowl the Indians over. I am sure it was Louis Farley who killed Roman Nose. He was a fine shot one of the best among the scouts and he had picked Roman Nose for his target. It wasn't long after Roman Nose fell that Farley lost his life, but the .scout har done his work and done It well. "And we had to be on the watch even after the Indians had given up trying to take the rifle pits by assault," continued Ranahan. "They had sharpshooters sta tioned all around the island and it went pretty hard with the man who exposed himself to their fire. One of the bravest of our boys crawled out and got a spade which was lying some distance from' the Island did it under fire, oo. When we got that we felt better, as It didn't take us long to dig to water. But living on dead mules Isn't very pleasant and when the mule meat began to spoil life on that island can't be described. It was espe claly hard for the wounded, but they were game, every one of them. Forsyth took his rssor and cut the bullet and gangrened flesh out of his own kip. He waa a good soldier and full of pluck. I remember when we were following the big Indian trail. Just a day or two before the fight at the Island began, one of the scouts said: " 'Colonel, this is a big war party we are following, and If we keep on we'll go right Into a trap Some of the others said: 'That's so,1 and Forsyth Juat smiled and said: " 'Now, look here, boya when you fellows signed that agreement with Uncle Sam didn't you specify that It waa Indian fight ing that you wanted?' After that there wasn't another kick and we sure got all the Indlanrflghtlng we wanted for awhile." Scoots Growlnsr Fewer. Forsyth's command, which had such a memorable experience, was an Independent body of scouts. Forsyth was on General Sheridan's staff In the civil war. He Is living today and unveiled the Beecher is land moivument In 1906. Aside from him self and Liautenant Beecher, the command was composed of frontiersmen stHgf drivers, poy express riders, buffalo hunt ers and free lances of the plains in general Many of the scouts have died since the battle on the Arlkaree. Pierre Trudeau never recovered from the efforts of his terrible trip to Fort Wallace with Stlllwell The latter died a few years ago, and Jack Donovan, the hero of the relief, died at his home In Denver. Fourteen of the scouts have never been heard from since the bat tle. Hudson Farley, who lives In a little town In Washington, had a peculiarly pain ful experience, as ha had his dying father In his arms on the Island, filgmund Schles Inger, the "kid" of the command. Is Ir, business In Cleveland, O. Ell Zlrgler Is a resident of Salem, Ore., and George Oakcs, a famous marksmaru, lives In Tusoon, Arls. Boon there will be no more scouts to gather on tho battleground and tell their experiences, but It is evident that ths scene of this display of Yankee courage Is not going to be neglected, even though It Is comparatively remote from the beaten routes. The story of American grit written on the Beecher Island monument will live as long aa the story of the Alamo or any other tale of courage In the face of over whelming odds. New York Herald.

The Colt automobile office was visited by "Mr. Wilson" last week and a check for $5 to pay for a club order of period icals was half made out when It occurred to the young woman In charge that It would be wise to Investigate before giv ing a check to a stranger who had no credentials, so the man did not obtain anything from that business house.
