Forced Removal of Sioux and Cheyenne Prisoners from Fort Keogh 1881
In June 1881 at Fort Keogh on the Yellowstone River the Sioux and Cheyenne prisoners were loaded onto five steamboats and sent to Standing Rock and the Indian Territory. Leaders included Big Road Rain-in-the-Face Hump Yellowface American Horse Two Moons Little Wolf and Sitting Bull. The march involved Gatling and Hotchkiss guns and 4000 captives, with 3000+ ponies driven out by Captain E P Ewers. The Two Moons band later disappeared from the reservation and reappeared on Lame Deer Creek in 1884, a mystery noted by veterans.

More Ducks In State This Year
Charles B. Marrs state fish and game warden said Montana saw more ducks wintering there in the past two winters than in his experience. He cited mild winter conditions and ducks migrating from the north. He notes possible refuge sites may be funded by the federal government. He doubts Fort Peck dam creates immediate nesting grounds, predicting slow plant establishment.
