of rnrqrera. an«l Capt. RicFinrs was giv-
en n commission ns captain of Co. FL
to lie stationed at Fort Inge, on the
Leona River, four miles bek>w the
town of Cvnble, ami also an order fr< m
Gen. Reynolds, of the United States
Army, to take the efficient warriors «>,’
the Semenol# trilie of Indians under
hia command. The tribe at that time
was under the control of U. S. Agent*,
ami eru am pod on the Rio Grande. The
Captain protested against this meas-
ure, an l argued that he was well in-
formed by personal observation of the
unreliability of these savages and their
moral degraiiation. and, apprvhending
corrupting influence to hi* men, this
plan wa* abandoned Capt. Richarx
placed his men, carefully selected,
(mostly Medina county men, X. Want*
was Lieut., Celeste Pingenot, Orderly
Sergi'ant and Secretary,] In vnrtous
camps, and only retained enough at
hi* headquarter* to make an efficient
scout, and kept scout* going constant- ;
1 ly along the Rio Grande and various
|iart* of the im|teriled frontier, and
| had regular communications from I-a- .
redo to the Llano river. After having
: some successful expedition* slid fights,
one of which was near the liio Grande,
Capt. Richarx received command of
two more companum of rangers. The
last bloody battle which the ranger*
under Capt. Richarx had with the In- |
ilians wa* fought with the hmwas and
Comitiches, near Carnzo Spring*.
The scout was commanded by Sergeant
Kckford and Dr. Wocalbriilge. There
were fourteen ranger* and three citi-
l zens In the fight. The Indians nuin- :
bered seventy |70|, and fought in two
line*. Fight Indians were killed, in
eluding their chief, who was fantas-
tically a lomed, and had four scalp* j
of white women. The wounded I
' uf the Indians could not tie '
I ascertained. A ranger, named Hiedi-
ger, fr< m Castroville, was killed, and

Richarx was commissioned by the Gov-

guards of Madina County. Part of this
force was always placed in camp along
the extreme frontier line, and kept
scouts constantly out trailing and

the inroads of the savages and taking
