ENGAGEMENT AT BATTLE CREEK Formation of a Company at Fremont —A Thrilling Account of ths Expedition up the Elknhorn, Fighting the Pawnees. R. W. Hazen, who was captain of company organized at Fremont in 1553 for the protection of the settlers [rom Indian depredations in those early days, contributes to the Tribune of that city the following interesting account of what is known as the Pawnee war: In giving to the reader a history of the Pawnee expedition in July, 1859, I feel u degroe of hesitancy. In the first place I take into cons'deration in the introduction the habits and character of the Indians and what the Pawnee Indians had to contend with—their.na- tural enemy, the great Sioux nation. In the winter of deep snow, in 1883, the Sioux in large numbers cama down upon their village on the south side of the Platte river, opposite whut was once known as the “*Lone Tree’ station, ow Central City, pouncing upon them, utchering a iarge number, not even sparing the syuaws or papooses, and no douht the intention was to exterminate them, or nt least weaken their tribe, The next greatloss was their ponies, driven on by the Sioux at the same time. With their depleted numbers they removed to Southern bluffs, south of the Platte river, about three miles from Fremont. The Pawnees were ripe for revenge and made raids upon the Sioux for ponies to replemsh their stock and to more securely hold them, made a large stockade in the center of their village for the night, In the summer of 1858 twelve of the young bloods of the Pawnees started out on the warpath, evidently to steal ponies, smarting under the whip of their defeat io former years, Going to the far westward the eagle eve of the Sioux sighted them and divining their object they turned loose at night the same number of old horses they lately had taken. In the morning the Sioux found their trail, and overtaking them, killed eleven of the Pawnees, and slit- ting the ears of the twelfth into shreds, sent him home to tell the tribe what had become of the others. The wailing of the tribe was heard at Fremont. On the lust days of June, 1850, the Pawnees being menaced by the Sioux, and mak- ing preparations to go on their buffalo hunt, they moved to the north_side of the river with their families and ef- fects, The noxt day they had the dis- comfiture of seeing the principal part of their village, which had taken years 10 build, go up in _smoke. Their coun- cil ouse, measuring sixty feet in diam- eter, was destroyed at this time. The next day the tribe began to move their slow length along at the rate of fifteen or twenty miles a day. It was their vsual custom to rise early in the morning and travel until midday and then rest themselves and stock®for the next day’s journey. Arrangements had been made with the Omaha tribe to meet them somewhere upon the Elk- horn river to give the tribes more strength against the Sioux in case ne- cessity x'e%uiwd it. On the 20th the Pawnees camped on Cuming creek and on that day and the next they madea raid upon Captain Thomas S. Parks’ herd of cattle. Cap- tain Parks had taken up quite a tract of fertile land and before settling had purchased in Ohio alot of thoroughbred stock. Most of this stock was killed or wounded as well as the other cattle in the herd. The loss was heavy, amount- ing to $1,100 or $1,2 %‘he loss could hardly be endured among the settlers of thatearly da, The word went around and the paop{e became aroused at the situation. As the Pawnees passed up the Elk- horn valley they continued their depre- dations, taking cattle and robbing fam- iliesof their scanty suppiies. At De- Witt their depredations came to an end. Before this, word had been sent to Governor Black, then governor of the territory for the protection of the settlers, Twenty-five men offered their services and went to DeWitt just in time to save the people and property of the last settlement. An engagement took place in which three Indians were shovand Dr., Peters wounded. The only alternative for the settlers and soldiers was to hustle themselves with their lit- tlo effects and leave as fast as possible, in which they were successful, though they hud been spied at the Pawnee camp and were discovered ecatching their ponies, supposedly for an attaclk. The word went around and one can im- agine the feeling of the people of the territory. Major General John M. Thayer was soon at Fontanelle, bring- ing word from Governor Black, then at Nebraska City, to rendezvous at the above place and calt for a volunteer force of men to chastise the Indians. ‘Word came to Fremont, July 2d, from konerul Thoyer asking for & volunteer \Jrce which™ should be ready when called for, A meeting was called and the citizens responded to the call nobly. Additions came [rom North Bend and Maple Creek. The Fremont velunte2r company con- sisted of forty m-m. They elected offi- cers s follows: fufln, W. Hazen; first lieutenant, William West; second lieuterant, Henry Campbell; orderly wrgeunt. James Lee; wagoumaster, . Reynolds. The (ormat.lou of the company took quite all the available men in our little rlnca and vieinity, leaving only a hand- ul of men to protect our families,though we had no fears, as there was no enemy in the rexr. And here it might notbeout of place to mention the heads of famil- ies: Rev.and Mrs.I. E, Heaton, Mr.and Mrs, Robert Kittle, Mrs. Margaret Turner, Mr, and Mrs. George Turner, Mr, and Mrs. R. W. Hazen, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Flor, Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Rogers, Mr. and Mrs, I.. W, Reynolds, . and Mrs, Robert Moorlaid aud Mr, afd Mrs. J. G. Smuth, All hivea in log houul except Mr, Heaton and family. Baroard and Herman Kountze uluo 00 upn:d a cabin, When jwe were celebrating our natal day, the Fourth of July, General Thayer dispatched & messenger, Lieu- tenant George Hepburn, ordering us wo rendezvou at Jalappa, on Maple creek, the next day. Upon arriving at the ap- pointed place we met General Thayer and stati, Captain Ford and artillery of Omuha uud Captain Kline of Fonta- nelle with about fort]v men, General Thnyerimmed‘utely nquired about our provis'ons and we were directed to have onmaster return to Fremontand east two weeks' provisions, day was well ocoupied in march- ing and countermarching, exercisin the wmanual of arms and loaging a three commands, which wes muuh veeded with raw rvecruits. In the mesntime General Thayer received a messuge from Governor Black to make slow marches uutil his arrvival.. The next day, the 6th, we moved on o & point of nmuml Wete 5 B, Nobinson’s mill. Before evening came up wi luted [ sisted of Lieutenant States army, with nineteen mounted men ana Major General Cuntis, United States army and Captain Renneda of |Iur-'nu~ with a companyof mounted We then numbered all told not ding two hundred men, but well equipped for the emergency. The gov- ernor thought a complete organization . The Robinson, United | tercept the Pawnees on of officers should be made for our ba- | tallion, and General T E. Esterbroc eral; Major it was as follow: Major , commander; Gene of Omaha, adjutant Curtis, inspector genera Iu-un-n:nu R. N. Robinson, lieutenant colonel. Each captain retained his po- sition as (ll]u.'un of his company, ex- cepting Sergeant Robinson, who was made commander of the United States dragoons. Dr. Peck of Omaha, was appointed army sur- zeon. A complete organization hmn.g been made, on the 8th we took up our line of march, making from twenty-five to thirty miles per day, fol- lowing the Indian trail in its meander- ing v ore was nothing to mar our feel- ings and the boys wers jubilant and resolute, and many were speculating upon booty—the number of ponies they would take back to pay them for the ex- pedition. Daily we found signs of the nearer approach of the Indians and on the 12th in the afternoon we spied a small group of teveesat a distance. It proved to be a campof the Omaha tribe, I'rom one of Othe Omahas w learned the Pawnees were in camp some eight or ten miles in advance. Mrking friends with him aud persuad- ing him to keep the matter of ourinten- tions a secret, he was sent forward to the Omaha camp te instruct them to part from the Pawnees in the morning ing us coming. The order was carried out. General Thayer visited his men in the evening, ordering them to be ready for the march at 2 o’clock in the morn- ing. Under the excitement but very few closed their eyes that night, not knowing what the morning mightbring forth. At 2o'clock the bugle sounded the reveille. The men and teams wero soon ready; we siarted in more than usual quick time to reach the Indians before daylight and in their camp. We reached their camp just as the sun was rising in the east. 'They hearing the rumbling sounds of the train, quite all had lelt in a hurry, leaving their pots and kettles boiling their soups upon the crotches and poles. A detention of thirty minutes occurred here in filling up the creek for our train to pass (now called Battle creek). We soon got under way again. Tn the haste of the Indians to get away they had cut loose their baggage and tent poles which lay promiscuously over the prairie. We went about three miles when we arrived on a rise of ground near the IKikhorn. A half mile away was the main body of the Pawnees and fifteen or twenty rods in our advance luy five or six hundred of the redskins in adry creek, or draw, armed to do battle with bow and arrows. They had divested themselves of cloth- ing “and only wearing their moccasins and a breech-clout. All was excitement, as we had formed in line with our re- spective companies for the emergency, and at this moment Carrow-na-Shar- row, the head chief came riding up. Seargant Robinson fired his revolver at him, wounding his pony in the neck, no doubt to bring on an action. At this point the chief threw away his bow and arrows, saying, **Me no fight; me been to Washington; mo saw the great father, me no fight.” During this time Governor Black rode up and ordered no gun to be ficed without his orders, though the match had been lit for the cannon and men in readiness. At this 1nstant one of the other chiefs had dis- plu?ed the stars and stripes. They had been taught when they formed @ treaty at Washington in 1857 that the stars were an emblem of the United States and on vresenting the flag they then received an opposing foe a8 un enemy to the United States. pacley ensued. The reader can picture to himself the line of defense and our_foo upou a plateau of the Elk- horn. Some upon our right had swum the river, mounting the bluff; others escaping for dear life were crossing the prairie and mounting the bluff nalf a mile to our left, and when our troops found there would be no fighting, for their blood was up, there wus no little cursing and swearingg,when they re- mempered the atrocities and thefts of the Pawnees. The chiefs made their appearance, carrying the stars and stripes unfurled, for a consultation. All were trumhliug with fear and shaking like an aspen leal. The governor then told them, through an icterpreter, his object and the depredations thoy had committed upon the inhabitants, their friends. Scarade-ne-Sal, their former chief and orator, made a speuth through the in- terpreter of great length, striking his breast with his fist almost every word to confirm his statements. He stated in his remarks that ho thought his force sufficient to wipe us out of existence; **but,” said he, “*what is the use? The reat father ot Washington wouid send his men by thousands and wipe us off the face "of the earth.” ~Admit- ting the depredations which haa been committed upon the inhabi- tants, he merely referred to their want and poverty. He agreed to pay all the sufferers and the expenses of the expedition. Governor Black here do- mandea that the desperadoes be given up who had been foremost in the depre- dations,and six were turned over,one of whom wus wounded through the breust, Things being settled as fairly as could De, the command retraced their steps (many though reluctantly) recrossing Battle creek to a bluff in the vicinity, where there was plenty of wood and wa- ter and to mest up for the day. 1n the afternoon the writér had occa- sion to reconnoiter a little over the the prairie, when he met two well kuown persons with the wounded In- dian. It was hinted at afterwards that the Indian was left in a secluded place with his blanket for a winding sheet, On the morning of the 14th, hum re- freshed, the command started rn a southerly direction, the five Indian prisoners securely bound, following in thu rear of the train and a guard fol- lowing w watch them. In the morning we struck the Pawnee trail in a south- erly direction to reach Beaver creek. At noon we pussed the camp of the Pawness und Omahas, A short distance after passing the camp & halt was made, for reuson- which were never understood., A squaw had been noticed following the young bloods, and at un opportune moment she severed their nds and they bounded forth simultaneously. Marshal West, then marshal of the territory, followed two of them toward their camp, shooting one of them in the back, he threw up his hauds and fell pros- trate to the ground. Mr. Moorland of the . W, company was not s0 success- ful. Following the prisoners and shoot- ing at them, one ball penetrated the Omaha camp, wounding one of their number. On account of the excitement and commotiou, the batallion was or- dered into line for defense.

At this aate the government had men employed erecting buildings for the Pawnees, school houses, grist mills, saw mills und other buildings, for their reception. At evening the command reached Columbus, Now the Pawnee expedition was at an end, On the 18th of July we reached our respective homes and were happy to find our families in good health, But the result of our following the redskins was unfortunate. Our corn fields had required our attention and the resnlt was not more than half a crop. But there was an advantage guiue(‘. The Pawnees were whipped. They ever afterward respected the white people and their rightsascitizens of Nebraska. It has been more than thirty years since the event and it may not be out of place to make some remarks in relation to the living and dead comrades. Governor Black was succeeded as governor in 1860; returned to Pennsyl- vania, raised a regiment in 1861, rose to brgadier-general and was killed, I think, at Gettysburg. Major General J, M. Thayer is our worthy Governor and resides’ at Lin- coln, Major Curtiss rose to major general during the rebellion and died in Coun- General cil Bluffs, E.

Of Moorland 1t was veportca he drove off some ponies from the Pawnees when they were upon their reservation. They found the trail toward Nebraska City. They took up their stock, killing Moor- land on the prairie and leaving his flesh for the wolves and his bones to bleach in the sun. We left the Pawnees between the Elkhorn and Beaver creek valleys. Their hunting was in the Si coun- try as the buffalo hhd been driven back by the white settlers, consequenily vheir natural enemy, the Sioux, were contesting every inch of ground in their direction. At Woodriver, near Fort Kearney. they had a battle depleting their num- bers and Jearrow-na-Sharrow received a wound; lingering a few days he passed to his huppy hunting ground. Being nearly famished for the want of food, about one hundred at night fall smleuwnv from the eagle eye of the Sioux, going south into the baffalo country and in three days returned with their ponies londed down with meat. Inthe eurly fall the Pawnees returned to harvest their corn, prepara- tory to going to their reservation; first finding out now well they were re- ceived by the people of Fremont. Find- ing them menle and not encmies, Lhe‘\;‘ht\fl permission to cache their corn e limits of the place until winter or spring, taking their time to remove it. In 1858 the Pawnees, were enumera- ted by the government and numbered 3,700. When they left the reservation for the Tndian Territory in 1876 their number was a little over 2,600, By good authority, in 1887, they only num- bered between ten and eleven hundred. e e Remarkable Cure of Rheumatism. Des Moines (Iowa) Daily News: A News reporter, learning that Mrs. N. M. Peters of East Des Moines, who was long ufilicted with rheumatism, had been completely cvred, concluded to call on the lady and get the facts direct from her for the benefit of any of our readers who may be similarly affhicted. He found Mrs. Peters to be a very glcusxmt lady of middle agas, in go d calth and doing her own housework, On being questioned she said: *I had suffered with rheumatism the greater part of tho time for nearly seven years, At times I was almost helpless. I had doctored a great deal for it with phys- icians and tried electric belts and almost everything that is recommended for rheumatism, as no one will suffer with it as I did without doing all that can be done to relieve it. Finally a neighbor woman advised me to try Chamberlain’s Pain Balm, and was so sure that it would help me that I pro- cured u bottle, It aid help me right from the start, but it took five 50-cent bottles to cure me, so you can guess how bud I was, as one or two bottles will cure any ordinary case.

Au exception, however, must he made in the case of a commissaire-priseur weil known in the salerooms of the Hotel Druot, Paris, who who had to “‘auction” off a miscel- laneous collection of clothing on Satur- day., He placed his own overcoat and hat by the side of the _effects which were to be sold and after he haa satistactorily completed his work he noticed that his two articles of personul weur bad disappeared. He suspected thieves, and accordingly com- municated with the commissionaire on duty, who found the hat and overcoat in the possession of a worthy dealer, to whom they had been offered for a few francs by their owner, who, in his fit of abstraction, had smalgamated them with the ‘*‘job lot” of general apparel which had been put up toauction. The dealer, of course, mude no objection to return the effects for the cash which he had paid for them; but the adventure of the absent-minded auctioneer seryed to throw a note of gayety into the usual sombre and severe atmosphere of the saleroom. A e Carried Water in the Skull. That is a terrible story coming from North Quesnsland about 8 man who was lost in the bush, says the Pall Mall Gazette.
