"In tho afternoon, with a hcavllv armed force of eighty men Carrlngton wont In person to the scono of tho battle. The following fol-lowing order was, left with tho officer of tho day: 'Flro the usual sunset gun. running run-ning a white lamp to masthead. If tho Indians appear flro thrco guns froni tho twolvc-poundor at minute Intervals, and later substitute a red lantorn for tho white.' Pickets were left on two commanding command-ing ridges as Blgnal observers, as tho command moved forward. The women and chlldron woro placed In tho magazine, a building well adapted for defense, which had beon stocked with wator, crackers, and various supplies for an emergency, with an officer pledged not to allow tho women to bo taken alive, If tho General did not return and tho Indians should overcome tho stockado. "Pasalng the placo where tho greatest slaughter had occurred, the mon marched cautiously along tho trail. Bodies wcro strung along tho road all tho way to tho western end. farthest from the fort. Hero they found Lieut. Grummond. There wcro evidences of a desperate strugglo about his body. Behind a llttlo pllo of rock, aiaklng a natural fortification, were tho two civilians who had been armed with modern Henry rifles. By tho eldo of ono fifty empty shells wero counted, and nearly near-ly as many by the side of tho other bravo frontiersman. Behind such cover as they could obtain near by lay tho bodies of the oldest nnd most experienced aoldlcrs In Fetterman'a command. "In front of them they found no fowcr than sixty great gouts of blood on tho ground and grass, and a number of dead ponies, showing whero the bullots of tho defenders had reached their marks, and In every direction wero signs of tho flrccst kind of hand-to-hand fighting. Ghastly and mutilated remains, stripped naked, shot full of arrows Wheatloy with no lean than one hundred and llvo In him scalped, lay before them," |
