Forsyth’s Account of His Battle Recalls Another Feat of Arms—Captain Powell’s Wagon Corral—Story of General Forsyth’s Famous Island Siege. [Copyright, 1896, by American Press Association. Book rights reserved.] INDIAN fighting assumed a desperate phase when the seasoned war veterans took to the plains after Appomattox. The savage instinct for battle raged all the fiercer the moment trained soldiers appeared on the warpath. A wild desire to meet and vanquish the great war chieftains of the White Father took root in the breasts of the red warriors, especially the young bucks. General Forsyth, In Harper’s Magazine for June, describes a battle between 50 scouts and 900 Cheyenne and Sioux in 1868. The second in command as well as the leader, General Forsyth himself, was an old soldier and nearly all of the men had seen army service. A year before Forsyth’s fight a band of 27 regular veterans, under Captain James Powell, who at the time suffered from a wound received In Sherman’s battles, made an equally glorious stand against 2,000 Cheyennes and Arapahoes. Powell's battle took place in Dakota near the scene of the Fetterman massacre of 1866. This last terrible affair cost the lives of 79 gallant war heroes. They fought gloriously, but were cut off and massacred like Custer’s men ten years later. At Fort Phil Kearny as well as at Little Big Horn the savages made good their terrible boasts, and the blood of the white heroes was shed in vain, hut the annals of the combats for 20 years succeeding the war show comparatively few Instances of slaughter. Almost always outnumbered, the men in uniform triumphed by their superior methods, arms and discipline. In the summer of 1867 Captain Powell, with Company O, Twenty-seventh infantry, was guarding the wood train bcloiiging to Fori Phil Kearny and disused of his men in the timber where the choppers were at work. Ordinarily the hostility of the savages wore itself out in harassing attacks on thu choppers or on the wagons passing between the fort and the pinery. The summer previous, however, Colonel Fetterman's fine detachment of reserves had been attacked and slaughtered to a man. In anticipation of an attempt to repeat that terrible deed, Powell prepared for the worst. He constructed cover for his camp l.y removing the wagon beds from their gearing and arranging them right side upward on the ground In the shape of a circular parapet. The wagon bodies were loopholed so that the men could fire without exposing themselves. Powell and his second in command, Lieutenant John C. Jenniss, remained In the corral with 25 soldiers and five frontiersmen, who acted as guides, interpreters, etc. Early In the morning, Aug. 2, small parties of Indians attempted to stampede the animals In their grazing grounds, but they were repulsed by the herders, and Powell led his men out from the corral so as to cover the retreat of the party to their hiding places among the rocks, where the choppers and guards had already Liken shelter. The Indians had massed themselves in the ravines during the night, and although they appeared in force to take part in the skirmlsli wore driven off, with heavy loss. Powell’s company lost 4 killed, and the survivors, 20, Including the loaders and guides, retired to the corral to await the assault. Instantly after their failure to surprise the camp the Indians formed a body of several hundred mounted warriors in front of the corral. Powell distributed his men around tho low parapet and supplied them with blankets and other thick material to cover themselves as they lay prostrate in the wagon bottoms. They were armed with repeating rifles, a fearful weapon then quite new on the plains. On rode tho Indians, their ponies running like wild animals in a herd. The merciless breochloaders were too much for oven savage ardor, and after drawing a heavy fire tho red warriors drew back. There was a momentary confusion among tho main body of Indians when the survivors of the attack returned, but in an incredibly short space of time a body of mounted men to tho number of 1,600 stood apart from the disordered gathering, ready for a grand charge. Tho soldiers understood what was before them and placed ready their surplus weapons, also Intrenching tools In case they should bo driven from their inclosure. Sending up frantic warwhoops to torment and terrify their foes, the Indians first encircled the corral and then rushed forward to a common center. Waiting until the foremost warriors were within easy range Powell’s veterans opened a fire which staggered tho savages and finally brought them to a dead stop. In the briefest possible time for getting under headway the Indians advanced again, but the slaughter from that handful appalled them. They gathered up their dead and made for the distant timber. After the repulse of their grand charge the mounted warriors aban-

THE CHARGE ON THE WAGON CORRAL, donod their ponies and with a ro-cnforcc-mont that swelled the number to 2,000 advanced in a semicircular lino. When within k few hundred paces, they started on a run for the corral, and iu spite of the hot fusillade of bullets that mot them, got within ten yards of the parapet. At that distance many dropped dead, a chief among them. For the first time tho Indian fire took effect on tho men in the corral. During the run of tho naked warriors Lieutenant Jenniss and one of the privates raised their heads above the uu.vuot and were shut

dead. Wild war songs sounded over the plains as a signal that the spirits of the Indians had not been crushed by their many failures, though every breechloader In tliat pent up citadel had claimed its dusky victim again and again. The next move was to scatter the bullets of the soldiers by a simultaneous advance of numerous parties of warriors from all directions. Tills time the breechloaders finished the business at long range and sent the savages hack to cover In confusion. The fight lasted thn.e hours and over 300 warriors wont down. As It would be only a question of time when the whole band would he wiped out if tho battle continued, the redskins were glad of an excuse to retreat. This was given them by the arrival of a relief detachment from the fort. Forsyth’s band in the terrible fight of September, 1868, were volunteers—that is to say, the leader was a colonel in the regular army on staff duty at Fort Wallace. Tho second In command, Lieutenant F. H. Beecher, was a war veteran ifnder orders, but not on duty. Tho men were scouts. Forsyth had served in tho field under Sheridan, and when the savages broke out In their fiendish raids along the borders of Kansas, Colorado and Nebraska he offered to load any one wishing to fight the Indians to the scene of their latest depredations. The party struck a trail on a branch of the Republican river on the 14th of September, but for two days saw no redskins. On the 16th Forsyth established camp on Dry Fork in the center of a plain skirted with hills and dotted with clumps of stunted trees. Late in the day a band of several hundred Indians rushed from tho hills and attempted to stampede the animals grazing near the camp. They were repulsed, and the wary colonel moved Ids force to an Island, where ho intrenched by throwing up rifle pits encircling tho camp. Early on the 17th the Indians opened a steady fire. They were armed with repeating rifles, that terrible weapon which had vanquished them in front of Powell’s wagon corral the summer before. Counting upon their Improved arms, tho savages wore very bold. The hoys outstripped the braves and by crawling on the ground got close to the besieged lines. As usual, the first onslaught was preceded by a shower of bullets and arrows. From elevations at a safe distance hordes of noncombatants, old men, women and children, set up a weird, wild whoop as a hand of mounted warriors, numbering several hundred, set out at full gallop toward l ho island. Homan Nose, the war chief of the Cheyennes, rode in front and went down at the first fire opened by the scouts. He fell within a few feet of the rifle pits, and the whole front line was wiped out at the same time. The scouts knew how to deal their fire, and tbo savages in the rear were appalled l.y tho slaughter. A lino of dead Indians kept company with the fallen chief. Homan Nose was a typical savage of the golden age of the red men. Ho had never but once taken the hand of a white man, and that was to demand something. His death was followed by a lull of two hours, and then the attack was renewed and kent uu t ill niirht. Tho eus-

READY TO BEGIN SHOOTING,

tomary third grand charge came at the close of the day and was repulsed like the rest. Forsyth's loss had been severe. Lieutenant Beecher and four scouts were dead, and Forsyt h had received two wounds, one of which shattered a leg. A surgeon also had been killed and 14 of tho scouts wounded. All the horses and i$ had

been killed in their tracks.

The camp was 100 miles from the nee • est supports, and would have to stand siege indefinitely. Like the trained fighters t hey were, the scouts know howto husband ammunition, so were well supplied, but the equally important broad ration was short. In the emergency horse meat must answer for food, and tho steaks wore out from the slaughtered animals. Sprinkled with powder, they would keep some days. Forsyth said to his men, “ We will win the light yet or sell our lives dearly In the attempt.” A supply of water was obtained within tho inclosure by scooping out a spring in the sand. With sand a parapet was made all around the island, and In this work the bodies of tho horses, also the saddles, were utilized—anything, infant, that could stop bullets or arrows. The first night of tho siege two scouts volunteered to go out through the Indian lines to summon help from Fort Wallace. They were not heard from for nine days, or until the 26th. The second day the Indians kept up a continuous fire upon tho island and attempted in various ways to draw Forsyth’s men from cover. That night two more scouts went out, but they returned the following night and reported the camp completely hemmed In by savages. Tho circumstance was most disheartening and led to the belief tliat the first two had fallen captives to the merciless redskins. On the besieged island the situation grew more desperate each day. Among the wounded there was terrible suffering, and as the meat became spoiled in tho Intense summer heat prevailing the sound men felt the gnawings of hunger. But on tho 23d the Indians broke camp and disappeared from view. This might bo a ruse, or it might mean that relief was in sight. It was tho latter, for the two scouts who left the Island on the night of the buttle had gotten through to the fort. A relief column started at once and was half way on its journey when tho savages took alarm and retreated. Succor was timely even then, for it saved the gallant nion from tho horrors of famine. Forsyth subsequently verifled estimates made on the field that the Indians had fought him 000 or 1,000 strong. They lost 76 killed and 200 wounded. The casualties on the Island were 23 in all. With the fall of Roman Nose the warlike valor of t he Cheyennes departed. As a tribe they never

marched to battle again.

George L. Kilmer Why We Are Tired.

The fatigue felt after exertion is now usually attributed to the presence in the muscles and blood of tho chemical prod nets that result from action. These are principally lactic acid, creatinine and uric acid. Until eliminated from the system they produce, when present in large amounts, malaise, lassitude, a feeling of prost ration and sometimes fever, explains

a scientific paper.
