S OMAHA DAILY BEE--~TUESDAY JULY 15, 1884, 4 o ) e — — FORT CUSTER. IN CASH GIVEN AWAY To the SMOKERS of Blackwell’s Genuine Bull Durham Smok- ing Tobacco. Reminiscences of the Exciting Events Eight Years Ago, 8¢, Paul Pineer Press, The military post which Is at the junc. tion of the Big Ilurn and the Little Big Horn rivers in Montana, was established July 4, 1877, Ttwas first known as Fort No. 2, Big Horn River, but on its oc- cupancy by the troops in November, 1877, the name wos changed to Fort Custer. The high hill on which the fort is built, commands & view of the magnificent stretch of country, which, to the east- ward, near the river is somewhat broken and rugged, while to the west as far as the eye can reach extonds a sloping.grass covered prairie, Southward and east- ward are the spursof the Big Horn Mountains. The Crow Indian rese tion, within whose limita tho post is situ- ated, contains gome of the most fertile valleys and the finest grazing land in the territory, and it has for years been look- ed upon with longing eyes by the stock- men and cattle owners of that region, Efforts have been made to open up a portion st least of tho reser- vation to settlement. The Crow or Abaraka Indians number about 4,000, and although they occupy a country which is 10 times as large as they need or can utalize, still, since they have always been friendly to the whites, and have stood ready to nssist tho military authorities in campaigns against the Ban- nocks, Nez Perces, Sioux and other hos- tiles, there is little probability that the attempt to deprive them of their lands will succoed, The post has quarters for 10 companies, including stables for six troops of cavalry and tho buildings are grouped in the customary fashion about an open plaza or parade, There are no walls or defensive works of any kind sur- i’ [ rounding the fort. Until recently it has e dnd Liver | been the headquarters of the Second Cav- Wil Cnel: alry, but that regiment is now en route to the Pacific slope, and ponding the ar- rival of the five troops of the First caval- 1y which have been ordered to take sta- tion there, the fort is held by companies I and H of the Fifth infantry, and E and K of the Seventeenth infantry. Cuater’s station, (formerly known as Terry's lan- ding,) on the Northern Pacific, the near ost railroad point, is 20 miles distant,and from that place all supplies are carried by wagon to the fort. The Custer monument is about 14 milos distant. The tragic event which it commemorates, and which preceeded the establishment of Fort Custer, is a matter of history, and the details and incidents, except to those who were in the battle, are already becoming dim and shadowy; but even at this late day there are fow men who are not ready to take sides as to the cause of the disaster, and whether it could have been prevented. Speaking of the fight during the past week, on the re- currence of the eighth anniversary of the massacre, and army officer who was with Reno remarked that one of the coolest and most timely bits of work that day June 25. 1876,) was done by Capt. (thon Lieut.) Godfrey, of the Seventh Cavalry. After Benteen and McDougall had joined Reno the whole command moved out in the direction of the firing where Custer was, and marched to a high hill, but the firing stopped, and Capt. Weir was sent out to open up communication with Cus- ter, Word soon came back that the In- dians were coming in great force, and Reno and Benteen declined te return to the bluff, where Reno had made his first T stand, So tho retreat began. ~ Woeir bringing up the rear, and cheching the advance of tho Indiavs as well as he could.

In reply to the question whether Reno could have cut his way through the vil- Iage and joined Custer, or could have saved him by marching to his relief after reaching the bluff, the officer said. ““That is a matter of opinion, For one I don’t think he could. After we forded the river the men and horses were pretty well used up, but we drove the Indians more than two miles until we struck the village, when they swarmed around us so thick we had to dismount and fight them on foot, Benteen and M3sDougall with the pack train were not within reach,and of Custer nothing could be seen or heard. Custer had evidently miscaloulated the distance and thh time it would take to travel, and, as was seen afterward, nover succceded in reaching the village. 1t is almost absurd to think that Reno with three companies could have run the gantlet for three miles and cut his way through a village which Custer with his battalion of five companies was not able to enter. After Reno retreated to the bluff and Benteen came up we dsd start out to join Custer, but we soon had to give it up and go back to a position where we could stand off the Indians. No; the mistake was in dividing our forces, and, besides, the simple truth is ther» wore too many Indians. 1 can never inrget how dejocted Col.

Linden, swperintendent of Pinkerton’s Detective Agency, on his retuin from Chicazo whero he had been attending the funeral of Allan Pinkerton, ‘‘of the wonderful will power, and untiring per- severance of the man whose body was laid to rest last Thursday. Very fow persons, unless they were intimately as- sociated with him, would believe that any person could possess such a_patient persistonce, which surmounted obstacles that to ordinary men would appear like imprssable mountains. Major Pinker- ton was & man with a big heart. I don’t think he knew how to do a mean_thing. He was one of those honerable, fair- minded men,” who, while giving every- body their due, exacted the samo for himself. In matters of business he in- sisted on getting every penny that be- longed to him, and once he madea promise it was liyed up to if it cost him every penny he owned in the world, His likes and dislikes were intense. If he bocame your friend no amount of cal- umny on the part of your enemy could change his opinion; but he disliked you, neivher arguments nor entreaties could shake him an iota. *‘Major Pinkerton's perseverancn and ingenuity were the secrets of his success in all his undertakings. If he could not accomplish bis purpose by one plan he immediately resorted to another, His mind was wonderfully fertile in expedi- ents, and it was a rare thing for him to fail when he had oncet his mind upon success, You can form some idea of his ready tact and capacity for planning in the case of the colored murderer John- son, of South Carolina, who killed an enemy under the most brutal circumstan- cos. Major Pinkerton was pretty posi- tive as to the man’s guilt, but is was im- possible to obtain a complete chain of evidence. With the natural secretive- ness of his race, Johnson refused to fall into any of the mantraps laid for him and make a confeseion, which was Pink- orton’s object. After weeks of patient but abortive work, a novel plan was hit upon. The murderer was surprised one moruing when he went to takea plough into the field to lind it spattered with blood. 1In the open field where he was to work the murderer found little pools of blood along the course he was to plough, When he went back to the stable he was startled by seeing the bloody imprint of 4 human hand on the stablo door. Every hoe or rake or other farm imploment that the man picked up had blood on it. When tfall came the murderer was so_paralyzed with fear that bis teeth were chattering and he was afraid to go to bed. He believed that the spirit of his victim was haunting him, The detective and his assistant noted these symptoras, and wero confident that the right plac had been struck at last. It had been, after a fashion, and there was a horrible proof given the next day. Jehnson was found in the barn with his throat cut from ear toear. He had killed himself rather than endure the tortures of & guilty conscience. I need not explain that the blood marks which frightened the murderer’s guilty soul were the work of the detectives and not of spirits. 1t was in that kind of detective work that Major Pinkerton excelled. He could change his tactics so that the man or men he was seeking would be led into a trap when they really thought they were getting out of one. There are scores and scores of such instances, but they have all been published from time to time as they occurred, and I do not suppose would interest you. 1t was one of Major Pinkertow's rules to conceal nothing from the public of public inter- ost, after the work was done, and it was another inflexible rule to tell the public nothing before the job was finished or while it was in progress, From this he never departed, and his sons William and Robert, who are their father's successors, will adhero to it at rigidly as the founder of the agency did.” .

Correspondernice of The Bes, Sarcest, Custer Co, Nen, July 12,1884, ~After a very pleasant drive from North Loup, the present terminus of the new branch road of the Union Tacific route to the Black Hills, your corres: pondent arrived in the new town of Sar- gent, Custer county, Much has been written about the Loup country, but the half has not been told, We sur- prised at the appearance of the country, the structure of the houtes, the many acres of cultivated land and the boom of thia little town situated away up here on the bank of the middle Loup. As we journeyed along we had ample opportun- ity of seeing the country and inspecting the crop out-look. Never in the history of this part of the state have the crops looked better than they look at the present writing, The corn is doing well and will yield heavily if the weather holds Sood. The small grain is in a splondid condition and a good crop is ex- pected. We noticed around several fields of rye cut and shocked. The farm- ers are all jubulant and a_reign of pros- perity for this part of Nebraska is nigh at hand. The town of Sargent is beautifully lo- cated in the Middle Loup valley,one mile from the Middle Loup river. This valley averages about four miles in width and is famous for its beauty and fertility. The first house was built hore one year ago, aud in_that short time has grown sub- stentially into a town of no mean impor- tance if one can judge by the class of peo- ple, their entorprises and fine residences, and store-buildings. At this writing the town boasts of a harness shop, bank, blacksmith shop, furniture store,two gen- eral merchandise stores, hardware store, lumber yard, town hall, school, church, one of the neatest and largest hotele, (The Windsor Hotel) in the Loup coun- try,presided over by Mr. Charles Austin, a drug store, and supports a five-column quarto newspaper, The Loup Valloy Ea- gle, eodited by D. C. Kelley, & live newspaper man who has worked up rhe circulation of his paper equal to any county paper in the state. The citizens}are public spicited and are well known for their social qualities and their liberal support of educational and relig- ious matters. The business men are energetic and show their enterprise by the quantity and quality of their stock. Land near town is worth from eight to fifteen dollars per acre. 'he soil is a dark loam from eight to ten feet deep with a clay bottom. Within sight of town upon the uplands government land can stilll be had and it is being rapidly taken by new comers. A railroad is expocted up this valley in the near future when a rush will un- doubtedly take place for Custer county. In another letter I will give you a fur- iher report of tho country, stock and farm report. COLONEL JAMES, o ——— Horsford's Acid Phosphate Adyantageous in Dyspepsia. Dr. G. V.

With this he banged away at the bear, which, at the report of the gun, broke away with the trap, chain and all, and tumbled over a cliff fully fifty feet hign, falling into the top of a spruce pino, from which Mr. Gray found 1t impossible to dislodge it, and he was forced to go ten miles down the river, where he col- lected a crowd of men, and upon return- ing the bear was found still in the tree, having been unable to decend with the steel trap. The bear was killed, and found to weigh 490 pounds—one of the largest black bears that has been killed in this country for years.

URST An Explosion Scatters Tons of Molten Lead, Globe-Democrat, Boston, Mass,, July 9.—A terrific |. explossion startlod the people of South Boston this afternoon, then two alarms of fire, in quick succession, called a great crowd to the South Boston iron- works, where a remarkable accident had taken place. Under contract with the UnitedStates Government prepara- tions had been made to cast the largest cannon ever made in America, with a weight of 120 tons. The work was to be done in a pit 40 feet deep and 12 feet wide, in which was a mold 4 feet in di- amter and 8 feet high. Within the mold was placad a core, consistiong of a long wrought-iron flue, around which was wound o layer of rope, and on this a thickness of sand and cement. During the casting cold water was to be run through the interior of this flue. The molten metal contained in three furnaces was conducted by throughs into a large tank, or mixer, from which two short short throughs ran into the mold. At 1 oclock the signal was given to lift the gatos, aud a fiery flood of molten metal filled the mold to the brim. In half an hour the casting was complote, and a large stream of cold water was turned in- to the core to cool off the gun, @ process which was expected to occupy three days. Everything seemed to be working successfully, when suddenly & vast sheet of flame shot up to a height of fifty feet from the planking surmounting the ylace, The terrified workmen, some fifteen altogether, fled for their lives. The next instant a tremendous explosion threw them all on their faces while 120 tons of molten metal was scatiered in all directions. Almost by a.miracle the workmen all escaped serious injury. The building at once caught fire and was burning briskly, The firemen fought bravely, however, and i n half an hour me $50 and—" ‘‘Shame on_you! Sold your vote, eh!
