Beauties of the Little Blue. No part of Nebraska is more beautiful or more fortile than the vallov of the Littlo Blue river. This little stream has its oriein in tho eastern part of Kearney county.

ILhere were at least 1,000 of them, and thoy were under command of Black Kettle, Whito Antelope, Two Faco and One-liyea George Beat. The latter wus tho huli-breed son of Coloucl Ben', whoso name was at one timo familiar in western military annals, aud, like many other half breeds, bie was more forocious and daring than the Indians whoso blood flowed in his veics, Almost tho first vlace ravaged by the Cheyennes after reaching this state was tho littlo settlement at 1’lum , now the sito of the town of Lexington in Dawson county. Hero several peoplo wers killed and ono or two wagon trains destroyed.

In the southern part of Adams county a tragic incldent occurred, the faots ot which are corroborated by evidenco collected by the writer.

Ransomed by Tom Moonl As 5000 9 possiblo tho mititary authorities at Forts Kearney and Laramie took steps to punish the marauding Cheyennes, but it was not for several months that the expeditions agaiust the savages wero organized and placed in tke ficld. General Tom Moonlight, alterwards governor of Wyoming, was then in command of the districy ot Uolorado. ISarly in the winter of 156465 he learned that two white women wore held as cap- tives by a band of Chavennes under the com- mand of Two I"ace, then in winter quarters in the Black Hills ‘country.
