Thai | three thousand Cheyennes, Brules, | Ogalallas and ~Arappahoes over | them buttes, an’ you'tl never tech Platte bridge with your har on, if you ’tempt it.” This advice was given to two Ser- geants of the Eleventh Kansas vol- unteers, one fine morning in Sep- | tember, 1865. We encamped in a sharp bend of the North Platte riv- er, just beneath the shadow of the Red Buttes, about six miles from the Platte bridge. Ed. Creighton, of the Pacific Telegraph company with the writer in charge of a well armed d 2quipped body of cavalry, were just returning from a summer's scout up the Sweetwater, the Elk and Rartlesnake mountains We were snugly fortified in a sort of horse shoe bend of the river, within an impregnable corral of telegraph poles and wagons. Six miles from our camp and between us and aid, were the combined forces of the Ar- rapahoes, Cheyennes and Sioux, or- ganized to meet, oppose and fight Gen. Connar's expedition then mov- ing through the Black Hills to the Yellowstone. With this brief intro< ductory we will proceed to detail the first published account of one of the most horrible Indian atrocities of the age. The tall Kansan Sergeant laughed scoinfully at Charley Burr’s warn- ing, and moved his detachment for- ward with the remar “1 started from Sweetweter sta- tion to go to Platte Brid, to go through if we cut our way through. Y ou 11th Ohio men think because you have been three years among those cowardly Injuns that that no one can fight 'em’but you. We intend to show the reds how we fought the rebs. Forward, march, boys.” The three government wagons and twenty-seven men moyed for- ward and soon passed over the sum- mit of the divide and were in sight of the battle then raging around the stockade fort at Platte Bridge. The fort was in command at that time of a-Captain of the 6th Michi- gan cavalry, and garrisoned by de- tachments from the 11th Ohio; 6th Michigan, 16th and 11th Kansas regiments. 1t was the second day of the seige. The hills were cov- | ered with redski who swarmed over the scene like herds of cattle. The only piece of artiliery, under charge of Sergeant Merwin, of Co. G, 11th Ohio, was a small mountain howitzer, upon a sand bar in the mddle of the Platte above the bridge. The Indians held the north end of the bridge, and the grave- yard just beyond it and were keep- ing up a harrassing fire on the gar- rison. Suddenly & cloud of dust between two lone sand hills, toward Red Buttes, announced to besieged and besiegers the approach of wagons. It was the doomed band of Kansas, who, a few hoeurs before, had left us at Red Buttes. On they came. The Indians were observed to gallop hither and thither over the hills, flags and lanices were seen to gather in clusters, and within the space of time it has taken to pen this article, & vast swarm of mounted redskins galloped up the road to meet the hapless tweaty-seven. The be- sleged watched with anxious eyes and throbbing hearts the three wag- ons moving down the hill, not more than three miles away. The scene was plainly visible, for the sand hills sloped toward the fort. The brave Sergeant percelved, when too late, his danger. He saw, below him, the face of the country swarming with red devils, He saw a band of at least five hundred of the young- est gnd most daring of the Sioux and Cheyennes swooping up the hill on him in a cresceut-formed body. It was then that he realized his error. He knew he had no hope except in & stubborn defense. But he had no time to prepare for it. The garrison saw the three wagons turn suddenly to the south side of the road. They saw three boys gal- lop away and reach the Platte so closely pursued by Indians that they were given up for lost. They saw- the three wagons halt not in a cor- ral within which the soldiers could defend themselves, but in a line, side by side, In & small ravine. They saw the Indians receive a yol- ley of rifle balls from the twenty- four brave Kgnsas boys, and saw them scatter out of range and dan- r. - Meantime, what was being done atthe Fort? The garrison was in a state of terrible excitement and sus- pense. There were twenty-four white men fighting bravely in plain view of the Fort, surrounded by overwhehning numbers of blood- thirsty Indians. The Platte lay be- tween the struggling detachment and the Fort. It was a time of ter- rible suspense and agonizing anxie- ty. It was resolved to make a sortie h & mounted detachment for eir rellef. Meantime the fight progressed upon the hillsides. The Indians were entrenched behind sand piles and slowly crawling near- er the brave twenty-four. It was then that young Caspar Collins vol- unteered to die. Lieut. Caspar Collins was the only son of Col. Wm. O. Collins, the builder of Fort Collins, Colorado. Caspar was a young man, not yet out- of his teens, pale, effeminate, and a general favorite in his regi- ment. He had had four years ex- perience in Indian life, having ac- companied his father, the Colonel of the Sixth Independent Battalion of Ohio Cavalry, from Hillsborough, Highland county, Ohio. He .had speut two years among the Sioux, and was to’ them & sort of pmeg; having lived with them for mon t a tme on the Sweetwater and in the Rlack Hills. Caspar was made a Lieutenant of Company G, in 1863, and in 1865 he laid down his life In the following manner : “Volunteers for the rescuel” shouted the commander of the post, pointing up the hill across the river where the twenty-four were fighting amid a cloud of dustand smoke. “Volunteer, boys! Who will go and aid that wagon train 2"’ Thirty-odd Michiganand Kansas soldiers stepped to the front, but not one commissioned officer. The Michigan Captain_looked up the hill at the unequal battle, and be looked upon, the halfdozen Kan- sasand Michigan officers, and his eye rested upon Caspar Collins. “Ljeutenant Collins,” said the Captain, “you will lead thisdetach- ment. You will cut your way to yon train and bring it in if possi- ble.” Caspar smiled as he looked upon the mixed detachment before him, and he said, “Captain, Idon’t think it right that an Ohio_ofticer should lead Mighigan or Ksnsas enlisted consent, and allowed this handful f men *o ride through their bands. | But beyond them were the Che ennes.” These Indians, more fie nd more warlike, knew not the brave Lieutenaut. His cries and salutes (for he un- derstood the Sioux language thor- ouglily) were lost upon the Chey- ennes. They closed in upon his de- tachment, there was a volley and a hand to hand conflict, then there was a retreat, and twenty out of thirty came galloping pell mell over the bridge, with five bundred red- skins whooping at their heels, beat- ing them over their heads with bowsand arrows. Ten brave Kan- sans were lassoed or shot down and bound for the torture. I cannot go back,” said Caspar Collins, “It is certain death. The Sioux told me if I returned they would take our scalps.” “Nonsense,” said the Michigan Captain, “you must make one more | effort, Lieutenant. See the braye boys on the hill yonder, we must rescue them. More volunteers, boys. Who will go? Lieutenant, lead the way.” Caspar bade his few friends and comrades “good bye.” He knew he went to die, but he would not show the white feather. Over the long cedar bridge over the Platte rode the twenty-five soldiers. The Sioux met them with a death-dealing vol- ley at the other side On went the twent)-two, and still the fire thinned out the forlorn hope. On_went the sixteen—and still the grey horse and the young Lieutenant led the van. On “went the remnant—and still “Our Caspar” fought his way to- ward the doomed twenty-four. There was a halt in the charge. There was a clustering of spears and a fluttering of lances on the hillside. A smoke and confusion, warriors fell by the dozen, lances dropped like wheat before the sickle. The gray horse went down, but for & few minutes there was death and destruction around that spot. Through a field glass from the ram- parts of Fort Platte Bridge the Mich- igan and Kansas officers saw Caspar Collins die with their men at his back, while leading a “forlorn hope’ to rescue that doomed twenty-four. Nine men came back, beaten and bruised with lances and bows, their lives spared in derision. Seven or eight men were lassoed, dragged from their horses and bound with telegraph wire and roasted alive that night. But Caspar Collins remain~ unmutilated. Next day, the combined Indian forces started for the Yellowstone, to harness General Couner, who was then “exploring the 'Black Hills.” Next day, the writer, with a detachment, moved down from Red Buttes, and occupied the field. All we found was the charred bones —half picked by coyotes—of fifty or sixty brave man. On one was a blood stained paper—it was “Caspar Collins.” He was unscalped and unmutilated. The red devils had not forgotten their protege and fa- vorite. The United States govern- ment could do no less—it named Platte Bridge in honor of our hon- ored Lieutenant, Fort Caspar.— Denver Democrat. CROSSING THE RUBICON.
