The hired girl was stripped naked and left dead, tied standing to a post and shot with a dozen arrows. The cabin was in ruins and Mrs. Eubanks and one child and her friend Miss Roper were carried away prisoners.

The following January Two Face, with Mrs. Eubanks and child were captured near the present site of the Rawhide ranch, and Blackfoot with Miss Roper on Snake Creek, nearly due north of Scottsbluff. The prisoners were in terrible condition.

Their freshness and lustre had faded, and the women's hair was streaked with grey, and their backs were masses of sores from the beatings they had received. Every indignity of horrible consequence was theirs, and they were nearly lunatics. A few hundred dollars in greenbacks was found on their captors. This was turned over to the women, and they were given safe conduct as far as Kearney. Mrs. Eubanks and the child faded into the obscurity of the east, and Miss Roper to her people at Beatrice, where she was later married.

Colonel Moonlight was at Fort Laramie at the time, and when Two Face, Black Foot and Black Crow boasted of their brutility, and dared him to punish them, he gave orders to have "their necks tied to cross beams, with nothing to support their feet, and left suspended for the crows to eat."

This summary execution brought much criticism, and the easterners whose sob squad had been after the scalp of Colonel Moonlight and others of his strong kind, sent up a howl that was heard as far as Washington, and one mountaineer and trader said it would center the Indians at Fort Laramie for revenge, and "we will all be masscred," he declared. Colonel Moonlight's answer was that perhaps such would be the case, but if so, there would be three mighty bad Indians that would not be there to participate in the massacre.
