Hamilton county along the route. In
order to have a little fun as they
went along, they shot arrows into
the steers to see them run away with
the wagons.
After months of suffering from ex-
posure to the weather, from his
wound and from the punishment in-
flicted by the savages, he was sold

rations from the government. On
making his way home there was great

United States marked the spot and

Mr. Nystel made a short talk to those
present.
