A Cold Day in Hell (2010)
“CHEYENNE, October 17.—The body of Private Fasker of K company, Second cavalry, was brought into Hunton’s ranch yesterday. It was not mutilated but was stripped of all clothing. In the fight Messers. McIlvain and McFalan, of China Rock, each had a horse shot under them, and the latter received a slight flesh wound in the right shoulder. The Indians were armed with Sharp’s improved rifles, caliber 40, a number of shells being brought in by Sergeant Parker. H. D. Lilly, who came into camp from the... cattle round-up, reports twenty head of horses stolen by Indians from Searight’s ranch last night, and Ashenfelter, a ranch-man who started from Georges’ ranch yesterday for Searight’s, has not arrived, and it is supposed he has been killed. A large band of Indians are believed to be in the mountains, and more raids are hourly looked for in this direction. A party is now organizing to go in search for Ashenfelter. A train just in to the telegraph camp near Custer reports seeing Indians between that place and Red Canyon.MoreLess
