Ed- 1 gar Jacob, D. D.. lord bishop of St. Albans, another of the distinguished (English bishops attending the conven tion. In on Interview with Major John M. Burke, of tho Wild West Shows, at the Piedmont a few days ago, the major was telling some of his recollections of war times concerning General Eugene A. Carr, especially an old Indian fight' er as well as a Civil war veteran, a man who, he says, was not os well known os Grant and some others, but who was on the firing line at Vicks burg and most of the lnrge battles of the Civil war. General Carr Is now retired and living In Washington. It was In the early fifties that Gen- oral Carr went West, In the land of his schooling, which was then alive with hostile Indians, and thero ho received the schooling which was afterwords of use to him In the' Civil war. In 1854 ho was wounded by an Indian arrow and narrowly escaped death. Three times he was reported dead, but each time he had been severely wounded. His experience In strategy and Indian warfare made him one of the best- equipped officers In the Federal army during the war between the States. After the war, when Qenerat Phil Sher idan Inaugurated the new system of hunting, trailing and pursuing the red men. at all times General Carr was one of his most reliable lieutenants In the West, as his cautious strategy and dar ing dash made him a particularly ef fective Indian fighter. From tho first time they met Buffalo Bill and he were fast friends, and no one Is more eulo gistic of the old scout than his accom plished commander, E. A. Carr. Indians Outgeneraled. General Carr was In command of the body of cavalry that fought In the bat tle of Summit Hill, which Is represent ed In Buffalo Bill's Wild West perform ance, and It was owing to his strategy that It was such a victor}', as It really was one of the most powerful blows ever delivered to the red men. The band of Indians concerned had been committing depredations, and had In their possession hundreds of horses and cattle and several white women and children. They had eluded the pursu ing forces for six months. General Carr, seeing that he was not going to be able to catch them openly decided on a piece of strategy wMch did the work. He started as tf be were going to return his forces to tho fort and leave the In dians. For two days ho continued the retreat, his Indian scouts Informing him that he was followed by some of the Indians to be sure his move was defi nite. Finally he received word that he was no longer followed, and, burn ing bis wagon train, he started In pur suit of the savages. Buffalo Bill fig ured that they were traveling two days to the Indians' one, and they would meet at Summit Hill, so they prepared to surprise the Indians. Tho surprise was complete, os was .the victory. The Indians were sleeping In fancied secu rity when the United States cavalry come sweeping down on them. Gen eral Carr received the thanks of the legislatures of Colorado, Nebraska and Kansas for this victory. In the follow. Ing dispatches to the press of that day It Is seen of what Importance this bat tle was held at that time: General Carr’s Vlotory. Special New York Herald, July 29, 1869. St. Louie, July 19, 18(9.—Omaha dispatches say that Oeneral Augur re turned from Fort Sedgwick this morn ing. General Carr’s victory Is more complete than at first reported. Over 400 horses and mules were captured, with a large quantity of powder and nearly five tons of dried buffalo meat. Among the kilted Is the noted chief. Tall Bull, killed by Cody, chief of scouts. About 1900 was found In camp. which was given to Mrs. Wetsell, a white ,woman who was captured. This was the same body of Indians who last year fought General Forsyth, and re cently committed depredations In Kan sas.” At the Big Horn. Major Burke also referred with pleas ure to the engagement ten years later In 1876 at the Big Horn, and gives a press report of that day, showing what woa thought of William F. Cody, "Buf. falo Bill,” In those days. Special to New York Herald August 19. 1876. Camp of General Crook's Command, Goose Creek, August 4, 1876. "Before sunset the Fifth cavalry, to whom couriers had been sent and who for a few hours had lost reckoning os to their whereabouts, marched Into the valley with their supply wagons close to their heels. The appearance of the regiment was fine, despite the dust and fatigue of the march, and gladdened tho eyes of every one who had been awaiting their arrival. They numbered 550 effective men besides the officers. There are ten companies here, as fol lows: A, commanded by Lieutenant A. G. Woolson; B, commanded by Cap tain G. F. Price; D, Captain S. S. Huthmer; F, Captain J. S. Payne; G, Captain E. M. Hayes; X, Captain 8. C. Kellogg; K, Captain J. W, Mason; M, Captain E. H. Lleb. "The following subalterns with thstr regiment; Lieutenant C. P. Rogers, A. B. Bache, B. Reilly, W. J. Volkmar, Charles King, P. Bernard, W. C. For- bush, C. H. Rockwell, H. London, G. O. Eaton, H. S. Bishop, E. P. Andrus, E. L. Keyes, C. D. Parkhurst and W. P. Hall. ‘Companies H and L of the Fifth, Captains Hamilton and Taylor, are now atattonod at tho Red Cloud Armory, together with ten companies of the Fifth cavalry, which have been ordered hither. AH of them are under the com mand of Major G. A. Gordon. Pralae for Colonel Cody. “William Cody, the celebrated Buf falo Bill, arrived with Oeneral Merritt, and la undoubtedly alone a strong re inforcement of the Intelligent efficiency of tha force In the field. In the recent scout after the Cheyennes, who were attempting to Join Bitting Bull, he dis played all the old bravery and deadly prowess which have made him a hero In the hearts of the worshipers of melo drama and tales of adventures. He Is the finest scout now In active service. The Indian auxiliaries were delighted, to behold the Tieap pony soldier' arrive' yesterday, for they had begun to be lieve that the white chief was pos sessed of a forked tongue, and that he would receive no euocor. The fighting forces of tbs command moved forward at once. “During the campaign Buffalo Bill added to his laurels by many daring scouting exploits, killing Chief Yellow Hand In a personal encounter at War Bonnett Creek, and eventually guiding the combined commands of Generals Merritt, Carr and Crook to the de signed junction with General Terry's command that had reached the be leaguered forces of Generals Reno and Banteen on the Bluffs, opposite side of the Big Horn, after their decisive and costly repulse In attempting to aid General Custer." Visit from Cadets. ' Colonel Howes, commandant of the West Point Military Academy, and one of tho greatest sign readers of the country, spent quite a little time, when Buffalo Bill's Wild West performance was In New York, Interviewing the In dians and stndvlng their sign language. He was Immensely Interested In the the management of the show. He wns especially Interested In the battle scene, which Is .the representation of the bat tle of Summit Hill, and says there la a great object lesson for the soldiers of the army, as they can see what was done by their grandfathers. He also complimented the riding performances and received permission of the war de partment In Washington to take the cadets from West Point to New York to see the performances. Captain Kel ly, one of the Instructors at West Point, wrote the following article to the Ar my and Navy Journal In an account of the trip: "While the majority of the people who go to see Buffalo Bill's Wild West look upon It merely as a show, the ca dets of the West Point United States Military Academy, who had the good fortune to eee It recently In New York, appreciated the fact that they were given an opportunity, to see a reproduc tion of a phnse of Western life that has now passed Into history. To them It was not a show that appealed, but the history that the show portrays. "Col. Cody hlinself was so Intimately connected with the army of the West In Its Indian campaigns and was so Important a factor In many of Its most notable achievements, that he will be forever held by the army of the United States In the same high esteom that he la now held, especially by those who fought with him on the plains.” Brigadier General "Jack" Hayes (re tired), now United States military rep resentative at Jamestown, was with General Carr In the 1869 campaign and wns also present In 1876 when Buffalo Bill killed Yellow Hand, as was Gener als Dudley and Sumner. They are rep. resentatlves of the class of veterans who have visited the exhibition this season—“men who know Bill Cody."
