Farmer Stockman, Great Falla, Mont.
but her husband wai severely
wounded, and while she was a pris
oner, she believed him dead. Actu
ally, none of the party was killed,
and Cowan, after suffering as much
from the kindness of his rescuer»
as from the malice of his enemies,
lived to be 84.
Mrs. Cowan described Chief Jo
seph as grave and solemn, too pre
occupied to talk when her b r other,
Frank Carpenter, tried to converse
with him, though he smiled when
Carpenter put one of the Indian
babies in her arms.
The Indians, after making one of
those forcible horse trades for which
they were famous, released Mrs.
Cowan, with her brother and sister,
and themselves vanished, to con
tinue their leisurely escape into
hoped for freedom.
Soldiers too Slow
S. G. Fisher, Howard's chief of
scouts, grumbled in his journal that
he was tired of trying to put Uncle
Sam's soldiers, who were "too slow,"
in contact with the Indians. His
Bannack aids, who. had enlisted for
one month, were leaving him, and
capture of the retreating Nez Perces
was as far off as ever.
But time was going fast, and the
Indians were not using it as advan
tageously as they might have. They
knew they had outstripped How
ard's foot-soldiers, their scouts hav
ing kept constant watch on How
ard's position; but they were un
prepared for attack from a new
quarter: Colonel Nelson Miles and
his cavalry.
While they rested among the Bear
Paws, just a day's march from Can
ada, they realized they were over
taken. Joseph ordered preparation
for defense, and through five days
stood off the cavalry which, from
the first night, surrounded him. It
was hopeless. The weather was
turning cold, a snowstorm was in
progress, and the besieged redskins
were increasingly hungry. Joseph
had sent runners to Sitting Bull,
asking his assistance, which he
hoped might come in time to save
him; no help came.
Miles asked for unconditional sur
render, which Joseph refused.
Brought into Miles' camp for a par
ley, the chief was held a prisoner,
perhaps with the intention of break
ing Indian morale through discour
agement which would result from
the loss of their remarkable leader.
Several other influential chiefs had
been killed in the first day's
fighting.
Charges Double-Cross
A temporary truce was declared
while Joseph was in the white camp.
Under cover of it. Lieutenant Je
rome entered the Indian encamp
ment, to "reconnoiter." Yellow Bull,
a chief, pulled him from his horse,
and held him as a hostage until Jo
seph was released. Because the In
dians believed their chief had been
murdered, Yellow Bull then entered
Miles' camp and asked to see his
superior. He was granted the in
terview, though not privately, and
shortly after, an exchange of pris
oners was made.
Miles won a surrender by promis
ing the Indians they might return
to their homeland. Without that
promise, Joseph later said, he would
never have surrendered; but the
promise was not kept. After the
dead had been buried, the wounded
sent in wagons to meet steamboats
on the river, Joseph and his little
band were marched to Indian ter
ritory.
