The Cblcago Tribune runs a column of sixty, twenty-fire and ten years ago today. July 29th It had the following: Port Larmie, ona thousand Cheyennes, Sioux, Arapboes, BUckfeet and Comancbes atucked Platte Bridge station on the Tele¬ graph road. Tbe garrison number¬ ed less than 250. The fight lasted two days and resulted in heary loos¬ es to the Indians before they re¬ treated. The loss to the garrison was Lieutenant Collins and an enlisted man of the llth Ohio caralry and 36 of the llth Kansas killed and nine wounded. A note from a white prisoner recently captured, picked up on the battle field, says the Indians do not want peace and will tight to the last' ditch. The body ot Lieu¬ tenant Collins was horribly mutilated his hands and feet were cut off, his throat cut, his beart torn out, he was scalped and had more than 100 aprowB In him." The abore comes nearer to me tban probably to any one who ta likely to read this, as my deeeased Uther was a member of this outfit, Co. D., llth Ohio Caralry and Lieut Casper Collins was In this company.. Col¬ lins was ordered to go to this gar¬ rison to aid those in distress. It was not tals turn out as be had Just returned from a two week's scout¬ ing expedition. (Serg. R. J. Wright was wltb him on the two days sent), and did not bare to go to Platte Bridge. Collins remarked. It Is not right to send me as I Just came In, but undersUnd I am not afraid to go Into the gates of hell wben duty calls me. Then gare tbe command, attention, mount, forward march aad ended so disastrously for as brare a man as erer trod tbe western plains. The Tribune did not state tbat a score or dead Indians were lying all around him, both of his revolrers empty, Indian blood and hair on their butts and his sword broken. Cas- peV, Wyo., as I undersUnd Is named after Lieut. Collins and Fort Collins Colo., is named after Col. Collins the commander of the llth Ohio and the father of this brare young otficer. BIr. Wright was out there 8 years and S montlis and he said the old say¬ ing was true, "The only good Indian was a dead one." Jack Bayler left Tuesday after¬ noon for Detroit, Mich.

The Cblcago Tribune runs a column of sixty, twenty-fire and ten years ago today. July 29th It had the following: Port Larmie, ona thousand Cheyennes, Sioux, Arapboes, BUckfeet and Comancbes atucked Platte Bridge station on the Tele¬ graph road. Tbe garrison number¬ ed less than 250. The fight lasted two days and resulted in heary loos¬ es to the Indians before they re¬ treated. The loss to the garrison was Lieutenant Collins and an enlisted man of the llth Ohio caralry and 36 of the llth Kansas killed and nine wounded. A note from a white prisoner recently captured, picked up on the battle field, says the Indians do not want peace and will tight to the last' ditch. The body ot Lieu¬ tenant Collins was horribly mutilated his hands and feet were cut off, his throat cut, his beart torn out, he was scalped and had more than 100 aprowB In him." The abore comes nearer to me tban probably to any one who ta likely to read this, as my deeeased Uther was a member of this outfit, Co. D., llth Ohio Caralry and Lieut Casper Collins was In this company.. Col¬ lins was ordered to go to this gar¬ rison to aid those in distress. It was not tals turn out as be had Just returned from a two week's scout¬ ing expedition. (Serg. R. J. Wright was wltb him on the two days sent), and did not bare to go to Platte Bridge. Collins remarked. It Is not right to send me as I Just came In, but undersUnd I am not afraid to go Into the gates of hell wben duty calls me. Then gare tbe command, attention, mount, forward march aad ended so disastrously for as brare a man as erer trod tbe western plains. The Tribune did not state tbat a score or dead Indians were lying all around him, both of his revolrers empty, Indian blood and hair on their butts and his sword broken. Cas- peV, Wyo., as I undersUnd Is named after Lieut. Collins and Fort Collins Colo., is named after Col. Collins the commander of the llth Ohio and the father of this brare young otficer. BIr. Wright was out there 8 years and S montlis and he said the old say¬ ing was true, "The only good Indian was a dead one." Jack Bayler left Tuesday after¬ noon for Detroit, Mich.
