Eubanks) and her daughter, whom he purchased from the Cheyennes. During the same evening and the next morning early the other Indians who were with Two Face, and who had fled on the approach of the Elston party, were also captured and lodged in the guard house here. Mrs. Eubanks gave information of the whereabout of Black Foot and the Indian village, and a party of soldiers started to bring them in dead or alive.

"The village was found about one hundred miles northeast of here, on Snake Fork, and compelled to surrender without any fight. Black Foot and his companions were placed in the guard house with the others, making six men in confinement. Both of the chiefs openly boasted that they had killed white men, and that they would do it again if turned loose, so I concluded it best to tie them up, by the neck with a trace chain suspended from a beam of wood, and leave them there without any foothold."

The point on "Snake Fork," referred to in the above report, is two or three miles south of the present site of Canton, in Sioux County, on "Snake Creek" as we now call it.

Mrs. Eubanks, who was with Two Face, was in terrible condition. She had been captured by the Cheyennes on the Little Blue, and after Black Foot and Two Face had purchased her the autumn before, she was compelled to such treatment that it was a wonder that she

had survived. Her husband had been killed with several others. The woman had been compelled to do the work of an ordinary squaw, and had been dragged across the Platte river with a rope, and she told tales of awful harbarities.
