4—A ARE LED INT0TRAP Stores of Other Survivors of Battle of Carrizal Confirm Reports of Early Stragglers. TWENTY-SEVEN MEN, ARE FOUND San Antonio, Tex., June 24—Com- plete disorganization of the two troops that were engaged in the dis- astrous combat Wednesday morning at Carrizal with Carranza troops and the practical annihilation of those ac- tually in the fight was indicated in a report from General Pershing to Gen- eral Funston today. One packer and eight enlisted men . of C troop and seven men of K troop were picked up yesterday morning by Lieutenant Meyer near Santa Maria. All were horseholders. The stories these men told were almost identical ! to those told hr the other stragglers that reached the transmission lines yesterday. Twenty-seven Men Safe. | General Pershing, in his report to- day, referred to the number of those who previously had returned to the * American lines as eleven, glthoufih in previous dispatches he fixed the number at seven. With those who | were rescued by Lieutenant Meyer the total number of those who had returned was twenty-seven. : The total number of men in the two troor was learned today to have | been cighty-four. General Pershing, offering a summary of his information and explaining that his conclusions were based on such information as he had secured from the stragglers and from press reports, called attention to the indication that there were fifty- seven missing and that press reports indicated fourteen of these were dead and forty-three were prisoners. Gen- eral Pershing does not account in his report for the number wounded, but appeared to assume that all those wounded had been captured. No Report from Relief. General Pershing reported that he had received no report from the com- mander of the two squadrons of the Eleventh cavalry that had been sent forward to rescue the remnant of the J. F. WHEELER. J. F. Wheeler, special officer of the Humane society, is answering be- tween fifteen and twenty-five calls a day. He is an old horseman and is at helping the drivers in showing them how to harness and care for their horses, Miss Jessie Millard, Mrs. George Prinz and Mrs. J. De Forest Richards have collected $1,500 in the last two weeks for thes work of the Humane society.

The organization is planning a very serious summer campaign for the humane work.

Godfrey Will Make | Memorial Address on Historic | Battlefield Today. | | | HOPES T0 CORRECT THE RECORD | Custer's ' illings, Mont,, June 24 massacre on the battlefield of Little | | Big Horn near here is to be recalled | tomorrow by the fortieth anniversary | of the historical event, according to| completed arrangements of unnmit»} tees in charge of the celebration. Gen- eral E. S. Godfrey, survivor of Cus- ter's famous Seventh cavalry, is to | give the memorial address and read | a brief message to the people of the northwest from Mrs. George A, Cus- ter of New York, who is unable to be present at the celebration. The historic battlgfield has been arranged as near like it was on the memorable Sunday, June 25, of forty years ago, An Indian village of about 150 tepees has been pitched and be- tween 2,000 and 3,000 Indians are ready to take part in the celebra- | tion, | It is hoped by the committees of | Billings and Hardin, Mont., and | Sheridan, Wyo., who are in charge :ni the arrangements, that the me- | morial of the massacre will dispel | many of the misunderstandings rela- | tive to the famous battle that have existed for many years. It has been pointed out that Custer really wore his hair cut short in his campaign | against the Sioux, whereas invari- ably he is pictured by artists and de- scribed by writers as wearing Iong, yellow locks. General Custer also is almost universally depicted as wear- ling a saber, There were no sabers with the Seventh cavalry on the ex- | pedition, son of Herman, butions to “Buf| , History of Battle. * In the spring of 1876 the Sioux be- came restless and took up the war path. Their depredations led to send- ing an expedition, commanded by General Terry, against them. He left Fort Abraham Lincoln, Dakota, May 17, 1876, with a command consisting of the Seventh cavalry, companies from the Sixth and Seventeenth regi- ments of infantry and a long wagon train. The command marched over- land the entire distance, the infantry and wagon train being left behind to | form a supply camp at the mouth of the Powder river. The cavalry, with pack mules, continued. At the mouth of the Rosebud, on the Yellowstone, Terry’s column met General Gibbon, who had come from the west with six companies of the Seventh and four troops of the Sec- ond cavalry. From here, on June 22, Custer, with 600 men, was sent for- ward to the Little Big Horn to at- tack, should he deem advisable, a camp lof Sioux. Custer covered the distance of 100 miles in three days, and learning that the Indians were ahead, prepared to attack, he divided his command, giving Reno three com- panies, Benteep three and retaining five himself. He detailed Captain McDougall, with one company, to act as rear guard. Reno and Benteen went forward. The former almost immediately en- gaged the Indians in overwhelming numbers and retreated to the crest of Reno's hill, four miles from the battlefield. Custer, / instead of sup- porting, Reno, as he had originnlry planned, passed around him on the east side of the 'stream and was furi- ously attacked by a large body of Sioux. He was surrounded on a ridge and his whole command was wiped out in less than two| hours and Benteen fought the Indians the rest of the day and until Terry and Gib- bon arrived during the afternoon of the third day.
