The intelligence of the massacre and cap- ture spread very rapidly and orders were sent out from the headquarters of the Department of the Missouri, to hasten the formation of an expedition from all avail- able troops in that section, to rendezvois at Fort Dodge, on the Arkansas. General Nelson A. Miles was placed In command of the expedition, and It was not until November 1 that the expedition set out from Fort Dodge. The troops prising’ the same were the Sixth and Fifth infantry. The Tenth cavalry was ordered from Fort il to join the ex- pedition enroute, and the Eighth cavalry trom Fort Stanton, N.

They were the two saddest looking little mortals that human eves ever rested upon. They were nearly famished for food, and both bore pitiful evidence of the most brutal and horrible trgatment since thelr captiv- ity. They were given the best of care, and provided with an abundance of the best of food that the expedition ocould supply. come re- Semrch for the Older Girls. “Immediately after the return of the ex- pedition to the cantonment it was refitted and started out after Stone Calf and his band, with whom It was quite evident the elder Jerman girls were still tivity. following it were tha: w This expedition and several others fruitless of results.

The ponles were nearly all killed by the orders of the government, such a procedure being deemed th t way of puting the ma- rayding Indlans hors du combat. Final Rescue of the Captives. “The Eighth cavalry had sccomplished eftective service in heading the Indians off on the Cimmaron and Canadian river trails into New Mexico, so the only :ecourse now left for the Cheyennes was to return te thelr agency on the Cimmaron or suffer severe punishment and the deprivation ot | their ponles. At Intervals during the winter | scouting parties were sent out from the cantonment on Red river, and it was not until February that the Inatans, after in- credible hardships during the excessively severe winter, concluded to make their way to the agency. They managwd to elude ob- servation until they reacfied the almost Im- passable labyrinths of the Washita river midway between Fort Sill and the Red river cantonment. Thelr trail was found there, and immediate pursuit was taken up and the band was overhauled before they reached the Canadian river. Here Stone Calf, who was himseif suffering from trozen feet, surrendered his tribe to the 8ixth cavalry, with the two elder Jerman girls. The Indians were promptly disarmed and escorted to the agency, on the Cim- maron, And were turned over to the Indian agent there. “The condition of the capttve women was pitiful. They had been subjected to every ivable outrage. Their limbs were trozen, and both were placed in the hospital for treatment, where they were | Siven every kind attention that the mili- | tary and Indian agency authorities could | bestow. From the moment of their cap- ture to the day of their rescue they had been subjected to insult ane outrage. They had been repeatedly whipped and their bodies were a mass of sores and brulses inflicted by their captors. They were con- | demned to absolute slavery and were beaten and cudgeled worse than if they were brutes. They were both the wit- nesses of the horrible murder of their par- ents and were denled the privilege of car- Ing for their younger sisters, and were also denled the comfort of talking with each other while in captivity. As soon as they were sufficiently recoverea to travel they were taken to Fort Leavenworth, and were partially restored to health and to their | friends. During their captivity they were compelled to walk nearly all the while, and trom the effect of thelr terrible exposure they both became permanent cripples. The two younger children were sent to Leavenworth, where they were rejoined by their elder sisters, and all eventually re- turned to Arkansas, their former home."
