sub-chief of Satanta's, and that still an- 

 other party, farther West, was being led 

 by Big Tree, all from the Fort Sill reserva- 

 tion. 



The chase was continued all that day and 

 night. At daybreak we put into Jacksboro. 

 Here more startling news awaited us. The 

 Indian marauders had joined forces, some 

 distance West of Jacksboro, and attacked 

 a Government supply-train of 8 or 10 

 wagons and 14 men, on the way to Fort 



Sill. Thirteen of the men were killed. The 

 other, terribly wounded, managed to release 

 one of the horses and make his escape to 

 Jacksboro. 



After this bit of news our company con- 

 tinued its march, arriving at the scene of 

 the massacre, so graphically described by 

 Lieut. Sands, shortly behind the troops. 



After the burial of the men, the volunteers 

 were released from duty and returned, I 

 among them.
