1IOW C1 .TER FELL.
We have received a communication
from Huntley from an old traplper,
guide and scout, who for imany years
has lived among tihe lndlansa of the
northwest. He claims that ('Cuter
died lighting-that hlie lid not conllllit
sulcide-and that the lldlans did not
know him after he fell. As there ore
,rmle new loints in the letter which
have never Ibefore beetn publli1ied, uand
as we believe the writer to be sincere
in what I.e writes, we pulblish here
with a synopsis of the article. lHei
says:
"I have Iwen requested to write the
Jo.URNAL what I know of (cneral
('uster's death, and lmy knmowhld'.e of
Wum. Cody. In 1s76 I was with 4en.
('rook, on (oose creek, when tihe ('us
ter fight oceuried. ('ly was with
lien. Merritt on Platte river somte
where; (',ily never :iw tihe Custer:
battle ground. lie (anumllot speak the
Indian laiguage, nor talk the signa
language, that I am sure of. liHe
jined us with Merritt's comllaltand ona
G.oose creek, and we hict ('en. 'ferry
on the Itusebud, and iaar(lc.d in coW-ii
palny to the imouth of P'owdtler river.
'there Cody left the tollulliituid :and
went to the states. lie Las ihemi there
ever since, I believe. As a scout anll
prairie manl he is sevemnty-five dlegree..
behlnd nlothiug. I have talked to the
,Soux albxut Ithe death li (of uster, nllid
they know nlothiing alout hill, onl!y
that lie was killed. 'there was no
*"nla.saere," alout tile light. ('Cutter
attacked thle camp, inid got cleaneid up
through the cowardice of lteno. ;en.
Custer was a favorite with all prairie
lmen ; too good a Ilan to lie killed in
the maniner in which lhe was. For
my part, I believe Cutter wa, kilhm
in Imnttle, Iighting like a "little devil,"
and likely tell aoing lbet re thie battle
ended. "Curly" tlie only survivor, a
('row Indian, kiow, . oittlimlg alsut
Custer's death. I do not believe there
is a iman liviiig, rtel or white, who
knows how CuMter hdie.l."

to the fact that growers of medl in
the ltate along the C(an:ada border for
warded their gIooNs to Canadla andi
have them sent through the walls to
perIons in the United $tates, thus
obtaining benefits ofeheaper Canadian

"'Vhetlher we cannot afflrd transIor

the need of momeeffective legislation to
prevent the ueudiag of explomive and
dangerous matter that will injure the
S'untenlt of mail pouches or ellliloyes.
