Gen. Nel- son A. Miles, veteran warrior who died Friday, was obtained yesterday in an interview with Col. Lloyd M. Brett, U. S. A., retired, who fought with and under Gen. Miles during his noted In- dian campaign in the early days of the “The Indians jumped the reserva- tion on the Pacific and headed in- land, standing off successfully many detachments sent after them.” Col. Brett said. “With a detackment of infantry and cavalry, Gen. Miles set out after them, with the determina- tion to intercept them before they crossed the Canadian line. With that determination to reach his goal and take his man, Gen. Miles led his little detachment on a record-breaking march through roadless country and traflless woodlands, and intercepted the red men in the Bear Paw Moun- | tains, where he engaged them, de- feated them and caused their sur- render with their Chief Joseph. War With Sloux. ““The Sioux, who had been in Canada since the Custer digiurbance, and had been quiet, started a_series of forays across the line in Montana in the Summer of 1879. Gen. Miles, by his thorough knowledge of the Indian and | his #nethods, backed by secret infor- | mation he obtained through the serv- fce of half-breeds and old Indian| scouts, balked every move of Sitting Bull. Gen. Miles sent out two detach ments, one of which engaged the In-!| | dians at Poplar River, and caused the | surrender of Sitting Bull and his forces. Among the hostiles who sur. rendered at that time were a number | those who had participated in the Suster massacre in 1876, In addition to Sitting Bull, there were Chief Gaul. | Spotted Lagle, Rain-inthe-Face. and | ma other chiftains. together with | between 3,000 and 5,000 braves. “In 1890, he wus sent to command the troops which were dispatched to quell the uprising of the Indians the Standing Rock ngency, under o'd Sitting Bull, in 1890, During this trouble Sitting Bull killed by the Indian scouts.
