II DAILY NEBRASKA STATE JOURNAL FRIDAY FEBRUARY 1891 rection of the situation, condition and movements of the hostile Indians. OURXEBRASKA SOLDIER BOYS northward through the Pine Ridge agency, emptying into White river some miles beyond. Company Second regiment, and company First regiment, at Rushville. Companies A and First regiment, at Jarcliow's ranch, about twelve miles northward from Rushville. on the main road to the Pine Ridge agency.

Company Second regiment, at Morey's ranch, about1 sixteen miles northeast from Rushville, at "the forks of Lara-bee creek, which flows northward and empties into White Clay creek. Company Second regiment, at Gordon. Company C. Second regiment about ten miles north of i Gordon at Collin's ranch at headwaters of Antelope creek, which flows southward into the Niobrara river. Companies H.

and I. Second regiment, near the post-office at Albany, about fourteen miles northwest from Gordon on tbe Wounded Knee creek, which flows northward and empties into the White river on the Indian reservation. Each company was provided with five days rations, tents, sheet iron stoves, axes, spades and shovels. Each of the posts were established at places convenient to wood and water. Every precaution was taken to guard against surprise or sudden danger, and each camp was fortified by earthworks, ride pits and trenches.

The posts were generally located so as to command a view of the valleys for several miles and were so located that they could have been' defended successfully against a largely superior attacking force. I at once sent General Miles a statement informing him of the positions, number and character of the forces under my command; and on January 8 received the gratifying message that he approved of tue disposition of the Nebraska state troops. The establishment of the several companies of my command as indicated and their general good conduct and discipline, very soon ahfiolutely restored the confidence of the people, and within a few days thereafter all excitement was allayed and the people returned to their ranches and homes. On January 7 it was found necessary to establish a general hespital and Brigadier-Surgeon Walden obtained the necessary furniture and supplies and established the same at Rushville to which those requiring especial treatment or who were seriously sick from the outlying posts were brought. Captain N.P.

Lundeen brigade quartermaster having failed to report for fluty by reason of being detained at home on official business as county treasurer of York county was by my order removed and discharged from the service, and Lieutenant John L. Wilson, formerly quartermaster of the 6econd regiment, was appointed brigade 'quartermaster with rank of captain and entered upon his duties at once; this special order of appointment and removal was a military necessity and is subject to the approval of the commander-in-chief: On January 8, learning that there were vacancies in the company offices of some of the companies of the First and Second regiments by reason of promotions and expiration of terms of service, I ordered the following elections to be held to fill said vacancies and any others i that might occur by the promotion of any commissioned officer in such company. Company G. Second regiment, for captain of said company to fill the vacancy caused by the promotion of Captain J. W.

Courtwright to the position of major. Company Fi rat for captain and second lieutenant. Company First regiment, to fill the vacancy caused by the appointment of First Lieutenant George Lyons as aide-de-camp upon the staff of the brigadier-general Elections were held pursuant to these orders and reports thereof forwarded to your office with my approval. On January 11, for the convenience of regimental commanders and for the purpose of increasing the efficiency of the companies in the field, the troops were formed into the following battalions or divisions: First The Chadron division consisting of Company First regiment, stationed at Chadron; Companies and First regiment, stationed; I near Maddens Bridge on White rivet; Company First regiment, stationed at Stryker's ranch, and Company First regiment, stationed at Swallow's iranch on Beaver creek. This division was placed under command of Lieutenant-Colonel VVolcott of the First regiment.

Second The Hay division, consisting Company Second regiment, stationed at Hay Springs, companies and of the Second regiment stationed near Cheney's ranch. This division was placed under the immediate command of Major Courtwright of the Second regi ments for the transportation of tha troops to their homes; and all the remaining companies were started on regular trains before 12 o'clock that night in accordance with pre ions All brigade officers and regimental field and staff officers were ordered to remain a day longer for the purpose of caring for and shipping the state property that was not moved with the companies, and for the purpose of auditing the bills, accounts and charges against the state incurred in the field. In general the conduct of officers and men in performing the soldierly duties placed upon them is worthy of the highest commendation. There was but oue case of insubordination reported to me, and that was the case of James Howe, private, of company Second regiment, who was placed under arrest for disobedience and insubordination, and remained In the guard house at Hay Springs until the close of tha campaign, when he was ordered to be dismissed and discharged for the good of the service. The health of the command was remarkably good, which reflects great credit upon tbe commissarv and medical departments.

Major D. A. Walden, brigade surgeon, and regimental surgeons Pritchett and Dempster are entitled to special commendation for the able and economical manner in which they discharged their official duties. Only one death occurred in the command during the campaign, and that wa the case of Private George Willhauer of Company Second regiment, who was accidentally shot while on the guard line by a guard while in the discharge of his duties on January 11, 1891, at the camp near Gordon. A court of inquiry was ordered consisting of Lieutenant-Colonel William Bischoff, Captain U.

P. Degman, captain of Company and Captain G. L. Pritchett. surgeon all officers of the Second regiment.

The findings and report of said court of inquiry with the testimony taken has been forwarded to the office of the adjutant-general with my approval Captain J. S. Hedges, brigade commissary, and Captain John L. Wilson, appointed brigade quartermaster in the field, have received the thanks of officers and men of the entire command for their persistent and untiring labors in obtaining the. supplies necessary for a winter campaign.

Colonel O. H. Phillips, who served one term as captain of Company First regiment, and also one term as colonel of said regiment, but whose term of office expired April last voluntarily reported to me at Rushville and tendered his services to the state. They were accepted and he was appointed as special aid-de-camp upon my staff, and was given private instructions to visit and make make report upon each military station established. This duty he performed fearlessly, expeditiously and faithfully and the information gained therefrom was important and of great value in the management of the troops at the different outposts.

Colonel C. J. Bills and Colonel J. P. Bratt, commanding officers of the Second and First regiments respectively, assumed personal command of the detachments and battalions of their regiments and attended in person to the location of camps established at the front lines.

The officers and men under' them were stimulated to a more faithful performance of their duties by the example of their commanders. Tbe efficiency of the quartermaster and commissary departments obtained its first permanent establishment by the prompt work of Lieutenant-Colonel Hotchkiss upon the staff of the commander-in-chief, who received his special appointment as acting quartermaster-general at the opening of tha campaign. He was personally present at brigade headquarters at Rushville to see that the proper supplies were received and deli vered, and also visited the other stations and out-posts, and it gives me pleasure to state in this report that the command in the field as well as the general commanding appreciate his labors in their behalf. It is impossible in this report to make personal mention of each member of the command in the field who distinguished himself in the performance of military duties where all acted faithfully and welL are entitled to the thankful and appreciative remembrance of the citizens of Nebraska of all localities, and especially from those situated near the northwestern borders of the state. Company.

of tlis First regiment and company A of the Second regiment of infantry, company A light artil lery under comofand of Captain C. M. Murdock and troop A of cavalry, under command of Captain J. H. Culver, were not moved from their company barracks for the reason that the situation at the front was not fully understood at the time marching orders were received and it was deemed advisable to hold a portion of the command in reserve.

These companies were each ready, willing and anxious to move to the front, perform their duties as soldiers and share with their comrades in arms tbe dangers of the de -fense of the lives and property of our citizens against Indian depredations. I was in receipt of daily messages from Captain Murdock and Captain Cu iver notifying me of the desire of their commands to be moved to the line of defense. Cap-taiu Murdock's battery was entirely without proper ammunitiou, and Captain Culver's company was without carbines and did not obtain them until the close of the campaign. It is not deemed necessary in this report to call attention to the many difficulties which were encountered and the hardships endured by the officers and men in the progress of a winter campaign with no money, with no quartermaster, commissary or medical stores, and with all of the military departments to be organized and developed at once in the immediate presence of a wily, untiring and relentless enemy. I attach to this report an imperfectly constructed map showing the general outline of the country, streams and roads and also the disposition ot the different companies of every command as they were stationed during the last week of the campaign in front of the Indian reservation.

I also attach copies of such general and special orders issued during the campaign as might be considered as relating to matters of interest and information connected with the movements and management of the Nebraska national guard in actual service. In concluding'tbis reportldesire to speak tions by the first regular trains as follows: First regiment, from Sutton to Crawford, over K. C. O. R.

11. railroad. Regimental commanders with field and staff were ordered to move with their commands and report to me personally at Rushville, which point arrived by first train. Brigade headquarters were at once established at Rushville. 1 found the situation in Nebraska critical, the people were very much excited both in and outside of the towns along the line of the E.

M. V. railroad, extending for about 150 miles east and west and thirty miles north and south, and there were urgent demands for troops as far as Hemingford on tha B. 1L railroad, sixty miles southward from the Indian reservation. Hundreds of settlers had left their homes and gathered into the towns leaving their stock unprovided for, and in many instances starving.

At Chadron there were some 130 families gathered in from the outlying country with little or no money, and dependent mainly upon the public for shelter and food; and this name condition existed in a more or less degree all along the line from Harrison to Valentine. Officers were immediately dispatched to each of the towns between and including the points named with instructions to examine and report the facts. The company commanders at Valentine, Cody, Gordon, Rushville, Hay Springs, Chadron, Crawford and Harrison, were also required to report at once to brigade headquarters the actual condition of things at their respective stations, including apparent danger, causes of alarm and the necessity for troops. Colonel W. F.

Cody, aide-de-camp upon the governor's staff, reported to brigade headquarters for special duty by order of the governor, and was directed to learn and report the location of the hostile Indians and the main points of danger to Nebraska citizens, and for this purpose went to Pine Ridge agency, S. which is about twenty-six miles north of Rushville and two miles from the Nebraska boundary. William Vlaudry, a half breed Indian, trusty and competent, was employed as general scout and guide for brigade headquarters and dispatched to gain any reliable information possible from (the Indians, and report to headquarters. Upon receiving reports from these sources I concluded that the country actually in danger and most liable to suffer devastation in case of an outbreak among the Indians, who were enclosed or surrounded by the United States forces under command of Major-General Miles, was that portiou lying almost directly south of the Indian reservation between White river on the west and the sand hills on the east, extending from Chadron to a few miles beyond Gordon, a distance in a straight line of about forty miles. Having established the quartermaster, commissary and medical departments, with a basis cf supplies at Rushville, and teiieving that the post of a soldier should be the place of danger, and that confidence would be restored and the protected by placing the state troops between the settlements and the hostile Indians, I determined upon establishing a line of fortified posts or camps north of tiis line of raihoad stations from eight to twenty miles, and between the outlying ranches and the reservation, with a reserve force at each of the several important towns in that section.

In pursuance of this plan two companies were at once moved about ten miles north of Gordon, two companies twelve miles north of Rushville. and two companies to the crossing of White River about ten miles north of Chadron, with orders to establish a post, fortify by pits, trenches, and earth works, and prevent surprise by establishing camp guards, picktt lines, out-posts and vi-dette stations. For the purpose of establishing and keeping up communications between each of these posts and the railroad stations, a system of mounted citizen couriers, who were employed on the credit of the state from among the resident citizens for that purpose, was established. Tli is disposition of the troops was accomplished promptly and without accident, although their movements were somewhat impelled by a snow storm, and the weather becoming much colder. -The immediate presence of the state troops at once gave encouragement to the people and the location of these few outposts further aided in giving them more confidence.

But the stations were so far apart that the fears of the people still continued, and especially at points Dot covered by the advance. For. the purpose of completing the line of fortified hjss and making them elfective as protection to the citizens, and there beinjj no reasonable grounds for alarm at points west of Chadron and east of Gordon, the companies stationed at Valentine. Cody. Crawford and Harrison were ordered into the field of actual danger in front of the reaerv ation, and six new posts were established on the general line of the others, each to communicate with the other and those previously established as well as with the reserves held at the railroad stations between Chadron and Gordon.

Tnese movements made a complete line of fortified camps between the outlying ranches and the hostile Indians. The several companies of my command were posted along the line and district of threatened danger substantially as follows: Company First regiment, at Chadron. Companies and First regiment, near Maddeu's bridge, at the crossing of White river, near the mouth of the Big Bordeaux creek. Company C. 'First regiment, at Stryk-er's ranch, about fourteen miles northeast from Chadron, near Beaver creek, about three miles from old Ft.

Sheridan. Company First regiment, at Swallow's ranch, ou Beaver creek, a bout-two miles from the post-office of Adaton near the former site of the Spotted Tad Indian agency. Company Second regiment, at Hay Springs. Companies and F. Second regiment, about ten miles north of Hay Springs, at a point below Cheufy'a ranch on Beaver On January 7 a small" band of about twentv Indians was reported to have escaped from the agency, crossed White river towards the southwest, and to be moving in the direction of Montrose in Sioux countv towards the Black Uills.

This report was found upon investigation to be based upon" the return of some friendly Indians who had been out on a hunting expedition. Upon Jan uary 8 and 9 reports came from the agency that a small band of Indians had engaged and been repulsed by a company of the regular army. On January 10 tie reliable information was received that the hostiles were moving their! camp towards the ageucy and that the hostilee had shown a disposition to come in; and on the evening of the same day Colonel Cody wired me. froni Pine Ridge agency that the Indian chiefs Two Stiike, Little Wound; Kicking; Bear, Short Bull and their hostile band were camped about five miles from Pine Ridge. On January 11 I was advised that the hostiles refused to yield to any further overtures, that those in tha rear moving toward the agency were very slow and cautious, and that the situation was critical.

I immediately sent orders to each of the outlying posts instructing' increased vigilance and adding to the number of guards so as to prevent accident or On the morning of January 12 the hostile Indians encamped about five miles north of Pine Ridge agency on White Clay creek were reported as mov-' ing toward the agency with their ponies baggage, wives and families and as having shown a disposition for and agreed upon a peaceful settlement of their difficulties, at about noon of the same day I was informed by the scouts and couriers that the main body of hostile Indians had arrived within three miles of the agency and in the evening 1 received the following message from General Miles: "Pise Ridge. S. Jan. 13, W91. General L.

W. Colby, Rushville, I am glad to inform you that the entire body of Indians are now camped near here within a milo and a half. They show every disposition to comply with orders of the authorities. Nothing but an accident can prevent peace being re-established, and it will be our ambition to make it of a permanent character. I feel that the state troops can now be withdrawn with safety and desire through you to express to them my thanks for the confidence thev have given your people in their isolated homes.

Nelson A. Miles, Major-General Commanding." After wiring the adjutant-general the contents of said message I immediately sent the following to General Miles in reply: "Rushville, Jan.13, 1891. General Nelson A. Miles, Pine Ridge, S. D.

I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your telegram this evening informing me of the prospect of the immediate re-establishment of peace witn the Indiana at Pine Ridge agency. I trust that no accident will intervene to prevent such a desired consummation. I assure you that the compliment expressed in your message for the state troops under my command will be appreciated and highly esteemed by the citizen soldiers of Nebraska. I have wired the adjutant moral the contents of your message and ill hold my command in its present position till 1 learn that peace is an accomplished fact. L.

W. Colby, Brigadier-General Commanding. On the morning of January 13 I received the following telegram from the adjutant-general: "Lincoln, 1891. General L. Colby, Rushville, Your command will remain at the front until the lives and property of citizen a are perfectly secured.

Be more vigilant than ever. Advise me daily. You will withdraw your command when everything is safe; not VICTOR VlFQUAtN, Adjutant-General." At about noon I received information through an aide-de-camp that hostile Indians had surrendered and that there was no further danger from an outbreak. Colonel Cody also wired me that all was quiet and that it was safe to make preparations for returning the state troops. Late in the afternoon I issued an order directing the regimental commanders to move the several companies held as reserves at the railroad stations by first regular trains, and to march the companies stationed at the outposts to the nearest railway stations on I the succeeding day and then move them by first regular trains to their homes.

I reported my action by wire to the adjutant-general and sent the following message to General Miles: "Rushville, Jan. 13, 1891. General Nelson A. Miles, Pine Ridge, S. Relying on the information received from you that the hostile Indians have surrendered, that the lives and property of the citizens of Nebraska are perfectly secure, and that there is no further danger from an outbreak, I have or dered the removal of the entire military force finder my command now stationed at various points adjacent to the Indian reservation.

Four companies will be moved to-night and the remaining force by regular trains to-morrow. Please advise me if anything has occurred that would make it desirable to delay tbe removal of the forces under my command or any part thereof. L. W. Colby, Brigadier-General Commanding, Nebraska National Guard." 1 received the following telegram in replv: "Plne Ripoe, S.

Jan. 13. 1891. General L. W.

Colby, Rushville, Nothing has occurred that makes it desirable to delay the removal of your troops. The indications are' favorable for the establishment of permanent peace. Nelson A. Miles, Major-General U. S.

Preparations were immediately made for the removal of all troops in accordance with the orders given. Arrangements for transportation for companies at the railroad stations were made by telegraph, and the companies stationed at Chadron, Hay Springs, Rushville and Gordon were started for their homes on the first regular train before 13 o'clock that night; the companies at the outlying stations not receiving orders to break camp until the morning of January 14. At about noon of Januany 14, I received a message from Pipe Ridge asking if I could hold troops at railroad stations till something more definite couid be and requesting me to answer quickly. I at once "wired information that thirteen couipmies could bd held at Chadrou, Hay. Springs, Rushville and Gordon, if General Miles deemed" it advisable.

I also ordered the commanders of the! First and Second regiments to hold their companies ou arrival at railroad stations until further orders and immediately started from Rushville for Pine Ridge ageucy, arriving there about 3 o'clock p. m. Upon personal consultation with General Miles I learned that hostile Indians had absolutely surrendered and that there was no reasonable apprehension of danger, and no necessity to delay the return of the remainder of my command. VYLereupon I sent a message from Pine Ridge agency. South Dakota, ordering the commanders of the First and Second regiments to.

move the remaining companies of their Commands on first regular trains in accordance with my former- orders; and thereupon rode back to Rushville, where I arrived at 10 o'clock p. to. complete the arrange-1 AND HOW THEY BEHAVED IN THE FIELD.

Exelntlvelr fnr Defense. Brigadier-Oneral Colby baa submitted to tha adjutant-general tbe following in "reference to the recent movement of troops on account of the fright caused by the Indian troubles: Headqcakters First Bp.ioade N. K. Beatrice, Jan. 24.

To the AdjutanW-Jeneral of Nebraska. Sir I have the honor to make the following report of the services of the Nebraska national guard under my command and In the protection of the lives and property of the citizens of Nebraska, against Indian depredations in the campaign of 190-91. On November 21, 1S90, in view of the possibility of the military force of the state being required for actual service in the suppression of the threatened Indian outbreak, I directed tha commanders of the First and S-cond infantry regiments. and of the artillery and cavalry compa nies to report to me the number of om cers and men of their commands efficient for immediate service, and further directed them to have the several companies of their commnnds in readiness for service in the field. I thereafter notified the governor of my action, and on 24 reported to liiui the strenzth and a fallibility of the military force under my command which was composed of two regiments of infantry, of ten companies each, one troop of cavalry and a battery or companv of light artillery.

During the first weeks in December companies of tbe United States army were transferred to Pine Eidite agency. South Dakota, and points ad jacent; and also manv cities and towns along the northwestern boundaries of Nebraska were supplied with and ammunition from the state, some 500 rifles and over 12,000 rounds of ammunition being furnished. Thia action seemed to allay the public anxftty for the time being. However, towards the Litter of December it was found that the arrangements for aruiins citizens and forming local military companies in tlw vicinity of the expected trouble in ad Jitioa to the forces of the United States were not sufficient to quiet the fears of the families upon the frontier nearest to the Indian reservation. The lppearance of Indian hostilities became tidily more alarming: a conflict seemed inevitable.

The settlers upon the ranches and even the citizens of the towns lying along the northwestern liorders were all vlaiuanuz for protection: towns and cities were Wing rilled with 'refugee, and were leaving the state for their friends and former homes in the east. On Decenil)tr 2ti the governor personally instructed me to place tha First brigade ot the Nebraska national guards under my command in readiness for marching orders, so that in case of a sudden outbreak they couid be brought into the field without unnecessary delay. Oh December 29 the report of the battle on Wounded Knee creek was sent over the wires and the following days fchowed attempts to tire the agency buildings and mission school, the shooting of the. fire arrows.the attacks an the agency and the retreat of the 4,000 hostile Ind-uiaus to the Bad Lauds, along AY bite river, about fifteen miles nonii of the Nebraska line. A general Indian war, involving all ttie tribes of the Sioux nation, upon the northwestern borders of Nebraska, seemed, unavoidable; the iliinger to the lives and property of the citizens of our state was imminent.

There being no funds provided by the state available for the support and maintenance of the national guard in the "lieU, I tendered the services of my command to the state in it emergency, ali without consulting officers or men. believing that I expressed the patriotic sentiments which have always pervaded my relying upon the legislature when it convened to do justice to those who were willing to risk their lives in the defense of the property and homes of the citizens of Nebraska, without regard to politics. On January 2. 18ll, I received General orders No. 1, A.

G. O. com-manuing me to place the First brig.ide N. N. U.

under my command in readiness to march on short notice, and pursuant thereto tha commanders of the First nnd Second regiments of infantrv of Company A. light artillery and Troop A cavalry were ordered to place their commands in readiness ta march, and werealso inntructed to have ollicers and men provided with biaukets, overcoats and warm clothing, and at least three days rations. On the afternoon of the same day, by order of tha governor, tne following companies of my command were moved to the front for defense against the Indian depredations: From First infantrv regiment: Company A ftom York and compsny from Geneva, to Rush vilie over the M. V. railroad- Companv from Fremont toChadron over the E.

M. V. railroad and company from Central City to Crawford over the B. railroad via Aurora. From Second infantry regiment: Company from Tekamah to Gordon over E.

M. V. railroad. Company from Ord to Crawford over B. te M.

railroad via Aurora. Major Williams and Surgeon Dempster of tne First regiment moved with Company from Geneva to Rush die, and Quartermaster Wilson of the Second regiment moved with Company II from Tekamah to Gordon. On January 1391, reports of increasing hostilities and skirmishing came from near Pine Ridge agency on the Nebraska borders, great excitement prevailed and -et tiers were l.astiiy leaving the homes and pouring into the towns from Valentine to Harrison for belter protection. On the morning of January 4 I received general orders from the governor to move my command, or so much thereof as ruigi't le available, to the northwestern part of the atate, to points most advantageous for the defense of the citizens against the Indians, and to seeihat the troopa under my comtuUnd were provided fcr as ell as possible the circumstances.
