MiNNIE GLMORE, New Your, Xmas, 1891 e e O CUSTER'S LAST FIGHT. New Detalls of the Massacre of the Little Big Horn The January Century contains a pro- fusely illustrated description of “*Cus- ter’s Last Battle,” by Captain Godfrey, the commander of a troop under Custer. From it we quote the following: *“The accepted theory for many yearsafter the battie, and still persisted in by some writers, was that Custer’s column had turned the high bluffs near the river, moved down the dry (Reno’s) creek, and attewpted to ford the river near the lowest point of these bluffs; that he was there met by an overpow- ering force and driven back; that he then divided his battalion, moved down the river with the view of attacking the village. but met with such resistance from the enemy posted along the river ‘bank and ravines that he was compelled to fall bak, fighting, to the pusition on the ridge. The numerous bodies found scattered between the river and the ridge were supposed to be the first vic- tims of the fight. I am now satisfied that these were men who either sur- vived those on the ridge orattempted to escape the massucre. *Custer’s column was never nearer the river or village than his final position on the ridge. The wife of Spotted Horn Bull, when giving me her account of the battle persisted in saying that Custer’s column did not attempt to crossat the ford, and appealed to hev husband, who supported her statement. “On the battlefield, in 1886, Chief Gall indicated Custer’s route to me and it then flushed upon me that I myself had seen Custer’'s trail. On June 28, while we were burying the dead, [ asked Major Reno’s permission to go on the high ridge east or back of the field to look for tracks of shod horses to as- certain if some of the command might not have escaped. When I reached the ridge I saw this trail and wondered who could have made it, but dismissed the thought that it had been made by Cus- ter’s column, because it did not accord with' the theory with which we were then filled, that Custer had attempted to oross at the ford, and this trail was too far back, and showed no indication of leading toward the ford. Trumpeter Penwell was my orderly and accompanied me. It was a singular coin- cidence that in 1888 Penwell was sta- tioned at Fort Custer and was my or- derly when visiting the battlofield. Penwell corroborated my recollection of the trail. “The ford theory arose from the fact that we found there numerous tracks of shod horses, but they evidently had been mude after the Indians had pos- sessed themselves of the cavalry horses, for they rode them ufter capturing them. No bodies of men or horses were found unywhere near the ford, and these fucts are conclusive to my mind that Custer did not go to the ford with any body of men. 7 A soon as Call had personally con- firmed Iron Cedar’s report he sent word to the warriors battling against Reno and to the people in the village. The grentest consternation prevailed among the families, and orders were given for them to leuve at once. Before they could do so the great body of warriors had left Reno and hastened to attuck Custer. This explains why Reno was not pushed when so much confusion at the river crossing gave the Indians every opportunity of annihilating his command, Not long after the Indians began to show a strong force in Custer's front, Custer turned his column to the left and advanced in the direction of the village to near a place now marked us spring, halted at the junction of the ra- vines just below it and dismounted two troops, Keogh’s and Culhoun’s, to fight on foot. These two troops advanced at double time to a knoll, now marked by Crittenden’s monument. ~ The other three troops, mounted, followed them a short distance in their rear. The lead horses remained where the troops dis- mounted. When Keogh and Calhoun get tothe knoll the other troops marched rapidly to the right, Smith’s troops de- ployed as skirmishers, mounted and tool ‘xumon on a ridge which, on Smith’s left, ended in Keogh's position (now marked by Crittenden’s monu- ment), and on Smith’s right ended on the hill on which Custer took position with Yates and Tom Custer’s troops, now known as Custer’s Hill, and marked by the monument erected to the com- mand. Smith's skirmisners, holding ;holr gray horses, remained in groups of o 'he line occupied by Custer’s bat- talion was the first considerable ridge baock from the river, the nearest point Velng about half a mile from it His front was extended about three-fourths of a mile. The whole village was in full view. A few hundred yards from his line was another but lower ridge, the further slope of which was not com- manded by his line. It was here that the Indians under Crazy Hor lower part of the village, among whom wore the Choyennes, formed for the chargs on Custer’s I1ili. All Indinns had now left Rano. Gall lected his waeriors and up n ravine south of Keogh Calhoun, As they were turnin moved this flank they discoverad the led ho ses | without any other guard than tho horae They opened fire upon the horse holdors and used the usual devi to stampede the horses—that is, yelling, vaving blankets, ete.; in this they suc coeded vory soon, and the horses were eaught by the squaws. In this disaster Keogh anu Calhoun probably lost their resorve ammunition, which was carried in the saddle bags. Gall's warriors now moved to the foot of the kuoll held by Calhoun. A large fc dismounted and advanced up the slope far enough to be able to see the soldiers when standing erect, but were protected when squatting or lying down. By jumping up and fir ing quickly they exposed themselves only for an instant, but drew the fire of the soldiers, causing a waste of ammunition. In the meantime Gall was massing his mounted warriors under the protection of the slops. Whon evérything was in readiness, at a signal from Gall the dis- mounted warriors rose, fired, and every Indian gave voice to the war whoop; the mounted Indians put whip to their ponies and the whole mass rushed upon and crushed Calhoun. he maddened mass of Indians was cur forward by its own momentum over Calhoun and Crittenden down into the depression whero Keogh wus, with over thirty men, and all was over on that partof the field. “In the meantime the same tactics, were being pursued and executed around Custer’s Hill. The warriors, under the leadership of Crow King, Crazy Horse, White Bull, “*Hump’’ and others, moved up the ravine west of Custer’s Hill and concentrated under the shelter of tho ridges on his rightflank and back of his position. Gall’s bloody work was finished before the ammihilation of Custer was accomplished, and his victorious war- riors shurried forward to the hot en- counter then going on, and the frightful massacre was completed. “Smith’s men had disappeared from the ridge, but not without leav- ing enough dead bod to mark their line. About twenty-eight bodies of men belonging to this troop and other organizutions were found in one ravine near the river. Many corpses were found scattered over the field between Custer’s line of defense, the river. and in the direction of Reno’s Hill. These, doubtless, were of men who had attempted to escupe; some of them may have been sent as couriers by Custer. Oune of the firgt bodics I seas nized and one of the nearest to the ford was thut of Sergeant Butler of Tom Cus- ter’s troop. Sergeant Butler was a solier of many years’ experience and of known conrnge. The indications were that he had sold his life dearly, for near and under him were found many empty cartridge shells, **All the Indian accounts that 1 know of agree that thero was no organized close quarters fighting, except on the two flanks: that with the annihilation at Custer’s Hill the battle was virtually over. It does nov appear that the In- dians made any advance to the attack from the airection of the river; theydid have a defensive force along the river and in the ravines which destroyed those who left Custer’s line. *There was a greatdeal of firing going on over the field after the battle by the young men and boys riding about and shooting into the dead bodies.”” e CIRCUS JOKES. Marshal Wilder Evolves a of 'Em, Old people aren’t the only ones who like old jokes best, especially if the listeners live in the country. A circus manager once hired a new clown, and as the fellow had been out of employment fora long while and wanted to-show his gratitude to his new employer, he laid himself out to getup a brand new lot of jokes. They were first rate jokes, too, but when he tried them on tho audience the people were as solemn as if they were taking pilis, The manager got up a howling rage and went for the clown, exclaimlog: **Blank blank you, what do you mean ting up all that stuff?”” tuff?”’ echoed the clown. “T'd like you to understand, sir, that those are all new jokes.” “New jokes be hanged!” roared the manager. “‘Get right out there and give them all the old chestnuts or the reputation of this show will be gone for- ever.” The clown obeyed ovders and within five minutes that show was so full of laugh that the manager was afraid he’d have to put an extension on the tent to hold it all. The old folks saw what was Pretty Palr coming each time the clown began, so they had time to let a reef or two out of their faces so as to be ready to laugh when the point came in, while the young people who had been at circuses before looked as expectant as a voung girl or fellow at the gate under tiwilight, wait- ing for the other to come. Speaking of circuses and old jokes re- minds mo of a story which was told twice a day in the ring by that suverb clown, Dan Rice, so long ngo that it ought to be entirely new to this day and genera- tion. It was first told one Suturday night when the show had reached town so that the performance was running into Sunday morning, and the manager thought he could pay some respect to the character of the day by getting off a moral reflection or two. So when the clown swore at the trick mule the man- age who was also ringmaster, re- marked: ‘*‘Stop—stop, sirl Don’t curse that mule. Don’t you know that God made him?” “What?” drawled the clown, who was none other than the great and only Dan himself, and to whom the manager whispered what he was up to, and that Dan must find some gag to wind up with. “ls that so?” “Certainly, sir. God made that mule, and he mude the earth and everything in it.” “What? Made all the people, too?” *Yeos, sir. Made man first, and then woman.” ou don’t tell me! Well, making man must have been & big job, but to make woman—that must have been an awful puzzler.” “*Puzzler, sir? been u puzzler?” “Why, because.” ‘“*Because what, sir?” ‘‘Because it must have been so hard to decide whether to make her a blonde ov a brunette. ” Why should it have LA Dr, Cullimore, oculist, - The Wine In ted Him No More, Washington Star: Colonel Stirit of Toxas reports the following conversa- tions, for the authenticity of which he announces himsell ready to be held responsible at any time and place: *1 told you, papa, that Colgnel Gore of Kentuc«y didn’t care for drink.

There is quite a_rage for silk potticonts— black, colored, and particularly in plaids, Every thin girl would try to get plump If she didn’t fear that in trying to get there sho would stmply grow fat instead. The peculiar style of some of the winter coats —military in effect—cousists in the per- fectly trim fit of the shoulders; consequently they are slightly padded. Crepons of light weights and both delicate and medium shades are in plain and cord effects. A few brocades in silk effects on light woolen grounds show shot iaeas. Af the village maid could only succeed in reading the village physician’s mind, what a well-spring of dolight she would be at the meetings of the village sewing circle. Some flannel petticoats have colored flo ers scattered over them. Fine flannel shirts, with a printed Indian design on them, are fashionably worn with dark winter skirts, Bonnets made of tweed, Bedford cord, cheviot, cloth, or any other wool fabric matching the tailor costumo aro still in high favor with stylish women both here and avroad, India red is the name given to a new street siaade of that color, which appears in cloth and in silk and wool fabrics. It is a beauti- ful dye,between that of a crimson rose and a rich plum color. ‘The timid, startled girl who will jump and gatber her skirts about herat sight ofa mouse, will bear, without flinching, pain that would make a man think he was going to die before suntise. A hundred and seventy shades of henrietta will supply every faucy from those desiring pure white to a seal brown. In plain goods, as in fancy weaves, beige, tan and golden- tinted brown shades abound, Pine-greon ana swallow blue cloths trimmed with Astrakhaa form some of the elegant cloaks sent from Paris, Bronze and gold braiding or embroidery are frequently used in conjunction with the same fabrics. Hawes—What aid your wife yive you for u Christmas present! Dawes—She sewed on all the buttons that were off my clothes. Hawes (enviously)—1. wish my wife had thought of that. She gave me a box of cigars. Elderly ladies will be glad to know that the warm, comfortable quilted satin pettis coats are in fashion again. Most of the silk ones are lined with flannel. Young giris often wear moreen ones under evening gowns. Nothing more useful and at the same time more elegant has appoared this winter than the French cashmeres, embroidered by intri- cato machine methods. 'They appear in rose- wood, reseda, golaen brown, India red, gray —in short, all the newer art dyes, White—"“My wife has a mean way of wet— ting me up 1n the morning.” Block—"What does she do?” White—"Ob, she’s got a lot of my old love letters, aud she gots one and sits on the foot board of the bed aud reads it out loud till I have to get up and grab it in self-defence.” In garnitures this winter the real novelties and elegances are in the form of various kinds of mingled openwork and solid om- broideries and cutwork in velvet. In the production of embroideries upon cloth and other fabrics, Venetian desigus have been largely followed. Ior walking costumes, thick, hairy, woolen fabrics are preferred, brown and neu.ral tints prevailing, with sometimes a sprinkling of white or yellowish hairs. Others are in woven stripes or plaids, with a touch of some bright color over grounds of russet or dark blue or gray. More dressy costumes are made of very light colored and excessively fine cloth. These light cloth dresses, which disappear under the long mantle out of doors, are wore for visiling and afternoon recaptions. They are either plain, or more or less trimmed with embroidery or passementerie, Many of the dressy bodices for slender, youthful wearers are sharply pointed and fasron under the arm or else in the backs. Kolds of passementerie trimmings cover the aarts, or else the bodice lining alove has darts,with the outside laid in surplice pleats, The sleeves are full, but not so high in effect as formel Cord effects will be even more prominent than they were last season, and the biege shupes fairly run riot in plain and figured samples, large and small cords in even or clustered stripes. Brocaded Bedfords will be worn in rich silky effects and velief figures.
