TURNED ASIDE. ,
How the Wild Animals Saved the
Colonel’s Command.
It W Only a Little Thing, But It Warned
the Trusty Guide That There Were
Indiana Ahead—They Es
caped an Ambush.
We were going down the penin
sula formed by the junction of the
Yellowstone and Little Missouri riv
ers, hoping to intercept the Indians
and turn them back. It had Leena
hard, Swift march, a ride of over
four hundred mites, with no halt
above four hours, and at ten o’clock
in the forenoon half the troops were
sleeping in their saddles, as their
lean and lame horses picked their
way over the rough ground.
We had planned to reach the spot
where the fleeing Indians would
cross the Little Missouri a day or
two ahead of them. We believed we
had accomplished it. At ten o’clock
we wwee Wither two miles of the
spot, fhwi the head of the column
halted for the men to close up. Our
• line had strung out for a mile or
more. Between us and the cross
ing, as the halt was made, nature
had made a highway. It was a
grassy road, about twenty feet
wide, twisting and turning like a
creek. Either side was lined with
dense thickets. Half a mile down
tho highway it was crossed by a
creek with steep banks. Half a
mile farther on was a second creek.
No man in the column of two hun
dred men knew what lay beyond the
first turn. The halt to close up was
a precautionary measure, but no one
dreamed of danger. If the hostile
Indians had not turned back or
changed their route they should still
be forty or fifty miles to the south.
The stragglers had come up, the
sleepy troopers had braced up under
the eyes of their officers, and tho
bugler was about to sound the for
waixl when the half-breed guide and
scout held up his hand in warning.
A deer came running up the grassy
lane at full speed and was within
ten feet of tho colonel’s horse when
it wheeled to tho right and vanished
into the thicket Next came a fox,
which ran under the feet of a dozen
horses before he found shelter.
Then a second deer —then three oh
four rabbits.
“What is it?” asked the colonel of
the guide.
“Ambush!” was the brief reply.
“Where?”
The guide waved his hand to sig
nify that it was down the lane some
where.
“But what makes you think so?”
persisted the colonel, who was im
patient to go ahead, and yet too
prudent to needlessly expose his
command.
“Deer fox —rabbits!" replied
the guide. “All were frightened.
All running away from something.
Injuns down there waiting for us.
We go some other way.”
We turned to the left and flanked
the position. We had made a dis
tance of seven miles when Indians
were seen and skirmishing began,
but they soon retreated southwards,
and as %e followed them up they
crossed the Little Missouri. It was
the hand we had hoped to intercept,
but why did they turn back without
a fight? Everybody was asking the
question whan a few of us rode off to
inspect the ambush. The death trap
had been set for us between the
creeks. The lower end of the avenue
had boen blocked with felled trees
and bushes, and trees partly cut
down would have blockaded the up
per end as soon as the last horseman
had passed. The road here narrowed
to fifteen feet. Wherever there was
an opening in the bushes which lined
the sides it had been dosed with
thorns.
From sunrise that morning the
Indians had been waiting for us. Al
most two hundred warriors were in
hiding behind' the bushes, ready to
thrust out their rifles and fire at the
signal. Perched in the trees along
the way were half a hundred boys
armed witli bows and arrows. Hid
den away under the banks of the
creeks were a hundred or more
squaws, armed with hatchets, knives
or clubs. It was not to be a battle,
but a massacre. No mercy tans to
be shown —not a prisoner thkea.
Scouts had observed o4r approach
and reported. When the head of
our column had fairly entered the
lane the eager squaws and impulsive
boys could hardly be controlled. In
their moving about they frightened
the wild animals out of their re
treats and sent us the warning.
They did not know why we baited,
hesitated and then took another way.
For half an hour they waited
with the scowl of hate on their
bronzed faces —with the savageness
of devils in their hearts—with eyes
which glared and glinted as they
roamed about in search of the ex
pected prey. Then they whispered
to each other:
“They have taken another way!
The Great Spjfit sent them a warn
ing to turn aside 1 We cannot fight
these men; let us recross the river
and return to the agency!”—Detroit

He went out of the room and re

pression of countenance.
“My dear,” he said, “this is my

“bo glad! And I have a little

She left the room and returned in
a moment with five fair-haired little

from three to thirteen.

Great mental agony is endured by
parents who see their children suffering
from diseases caused by impure blood, and
for which there seems no cure. This is
turned to joy when Hood’s Sarsaparilla is i
resorted to, for it expels the foul humors
from the blood, and restores the dis-'
eased skin to fresh, healthy brightness.
Read the following from grateful parents:
“To C. I. Hood & Cos., Lowell, Mass.;
“We think Hood’s Sarsaparilla Is the most I
valuable medicine on the market for blood and i
skin diseases. Our two children suffered terri
bly with the
Worst Form of Eczema j
for two years. We had three physicians In
that time, but neither of them succeeded in
curing them or even in giving them a little
relief. At last we tried Hood's Sarsaparilla
