So successful was his system that it was quite generally adopted by the government upon his recommendation, Nor is subjugation of the Indian | the only especially the settlers of the west, owes to General Miles. With char acteristic foresight, he saw that in time the great, western plains would be settled by westward-moving col- onists, and years before reclamation by irrigation was thought of, he had reported on the feasibility of this project to the government, and rec- ommended spreading the nourishing on the arid land General HEART ATTACK TAKES AGED ARMY LEADER (Continued from page one) soner of war,” the results were mediate.

He was then given command of eastern Maryland and Virginia and at Fortress Monroe was given the custody of Jefferson Davis, after the plot which resulted in the assassination of Lincoln, Sev- eral unpleasant duties resulted from this task, which brought sharp criti- cism at the time from southern statesmen who charged him with having used unduly harsh measures to safeguard the prisoner, among which was the shackeling of Mr. Davis. “Jefferson Davis was not held and arrested for being President of the Confederate States, “General Miles said in defending himself, “but was captured for his part in the great plot which aimed at the deaths of Lincoln, Seward, Grant and many other government leaders. A reward of $100,000 was posted by President Johnson for Davis’ capture, and 1 was ordered to use every precaution in imprisoning him, He was later released under a similar bond and died of old age twenty two years af-| ter.” i "At the age of 26 Miles was mus-| tered out of the Volunteers, when|{ the war ceased, and was recommis-| sioned Colonel in the regular es- tablishment.

He won the thanks of the leg- islatures of four western states, and the ranks, in succession, of Brigadier and Major General in the regular army. The name of Miles is woven into the romance of the west. He met, fought and defeated the Cheyennes, Comanches and Kiowas, in the southwest. He chastised and subjugated the Sioux in the north- west, driving Sitting Bull out of his country. He made a. forced march of 160 miles in the Winter of 1877, when the temperature at times drop- ped to 40 degrees below zero, und captured Chief Joseph and his Nez ees who had long caused the gov- ‘ernment trouble.
