firs: to disprove the general belief

number of sole white survivors of he
Custer massacre to . a reasonable
number if not to tile zero poin ;
third, to disprove the charge that
Major Marcus A. Reno was 'y
cf cowardice in the Battle of the
Itig Horn, June 25-26, 1876.
In lieu of the first impression the
Montana library hus statement.; from
pioneers who were witli the Irish
American statesman and^w.irric on
the day when it? met death u the
effect that he was suffering some

spect, too, the state historians claim,
the ibody was never recover 1 u

in North Dakota to tho mouth of the
Mississippi at Neiw Orleans.
Against tile second so-called 1 -

there are no "sole white surv.vors'
living who were in or who saw the
Ouster massacre and only a few In
dians still alive.
To supplant the third general be

secured a copy of the United States
War Department report of an Inquiry

stance of which sets forth that the
man for whom Reno, Nev., was
named obeyed all of his orders on
