ISAAC CODY, deceased. Among the most outspoken and thoroughly active men who were identified with the Free-state party in Kansas was the subject of this sketch. He was born in Canada, where he was reared until his eighteenth year, when his father emigrated to the states with his family, and purchased tracts of land on which is now situated a portion of the city of Cleveland, Ohio. In 1840 Mr. Cody came West, and concluded to locate in Iowa. Returning to Ohio in 1841 he married in Cincinnati, Miss Mary B. Laycock. With his young wife he returned to Iowa, locating for a time in Davenport, and soon after turned his attention to agricultural pursuits in Scott County, residing a few years at Walnut Grove, these moved to LeClaire, and eventually returned to Davenport. Being a man of learning and an impressive and eloquent speaker, he soon became known among the politicians of the Hawkeye State.
He was elected a member of the Iowa Legislature, was Justice of the Peace and held other offices. For a few years he was interested in operating the stage line between Davenport and Chicago. In 1849, with others, he determined to go to California. When the necessary preparations had been made some of the party became discouraged and the project was abandoned. He then located as before mentioned, on a farm on Walnut Grove. In the spring of 1854 he moved with his family to Weston, Platte Co., Mo., where he had a brother residing. A friend of Mr. Cody's, who was a Congressman from Scott County, Iowa, informed him that he would convey him the news privately as to the time of the passage of the Kansas bill, known as the Enabling Act of Kansas Territory, and he could have the honor of pre-empting the first claim, which as far as can be ascertained was carried out in detail.
Early in 1853 he located a claim on Salt Creek Valley, four miles from the Kickapoo Agency, where he resided until April, 1854, when the bill passed and he pre-emptied. Mr. Cody was a strong Free-state man, and his troubles commenced as soon as that fact was known to the border ruffians and others of the stripe. On one occasion he was requested by a crowd to make a speech and express his views on the issues of the day, which he undertook to do; but before he had proceeded far a Missourian sprang on him with a knife, stabbing him severely. The third child born to Mr. and Mrs. CODY was a son, who was named William F. His name, or rather his soubriquet, to-day is familiar to every one throughout the Union and a great portion of Europe as Buffalo Bill.
At that time, but a mere lad, he was instrumental in saving his father's life, and as he grew older he became a terror to the Pro-slavery party. Mr. Cody found that he could not lie on Salt Creek, as it became necessary for him one night to leave his house in female attire, they were after him so strongly; so he went to Grasshopper Falls and commenced the erection of a saw-mill. It was ascertained by the family that the Pro-slavery party intended to wait and waylay him as he returned from the Falls, to kill him. Mrs. Cody started little Billy to the Falls on a horse, a distance of thirty-five miles. He had gone but a short distance when he was discovered by a party of Pro-slavery men, who recognized him and gave chase, but he displayed the nerve and grit that characterized him as a man afterward, and made his adventurous trip all right.
Mr. Cody at once went to Lawrence, where they were organizing the Lecompton Legislature. He was elected a member of that body, and took part in organizing the first Legislature under Gov. Reeder. He was one of the agents sent to Ohio to encourage immigration. He afterward continued his work on his mill at the Falls, and did much in given the town a start. When he visited his home he did under cover of the night, for his life was in continual jeopardy. Thus life was a constant struggle with him, which he bravely bore until April, 1857, when his death occurred, which was largely due to the wound he received a few years previous, and exposure. Mrs. Cody continued to reside on Salt Creek until her death which occurred November 22, 1863. There were seven children in the Cody family--Samuel (the oldest, was accidentally killed in Iowa), Julia M. (wife of J. A. Goodman), William F. (Buffalo Bill), Eliza, Laura E., Mary H., and Charles W. Cody.

ARHTUR LARKIN
ARHTUR LARKIN, merchant, was born in the city of Dublin, Ireland, on the 20th day of August, 1832. He was the third child born to Thomas and Ann Larkin. His early education was received at a Seminary on Wicklow Street, Dublin, under the charge of Mr. William Stapleton, who, prior to the establishment of the Seminary, had been one of the faculty of Trinity College, Dublin. His father was a coal merchant and Arthur, while yet a boy, assisted his father in his business by attending to his collections. When sixteen years old, seized with a desire to try his fortune in the New World, he left Dublin and proceeded to Liverpool, where, on the 6th day of July 1848, he engaged passage on a sailing vessel bound for New York, and arrived at the latter city in July. Shortly after his arrival he hired to a farmer residing at Cranberry Neck, N. J., for whom he went to work. After trying farming for about a year, he enlisted in the regular army and served as a Texas Ranger during two terms of service under Captain Ford, and was discharged at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., in 1861.
After leaving the service he married Miss Alice Baird, in Leavenworth, who was a native of Indiana. By this marriage six children have been born to him, three of whom are dead and three yet living, and all born at Ellsworth, Kan. Thomas, the eldest, was born November 20, 1869, and died April 18, 1870. Arthur, the oldest now living, was born February 28, 1871. Mary Ann, born September 21, 1873; died October 22, 1873. Francis, born June 25, 1875. Eddie, born October 13, 1878; died January 4, 1881. Hubert F., born February 6, 1880. Quitting the army, Mr. Larkin engaged in the restaurant business at Leavenworth, and while thus engaged, he fitted up a wagon train and made a freighting trip to Denver and back.
In the fall of 1866 he left Leavenworth and moved to Junction City, where he re-established himself in the restaurant business and continued freighting from there to the end of the Kansas Pacific Railway, which was then at Salina. In the spring of 1867, he moved from Junction City to Ellsworth, where he built and opened the first hotel in that town. In the latter part of 1868, he embarked in the mercantile business, opening up with a line of dry goods, clothing, boots and shoes, hats and caps. Since then he has established a store at Lincoln Center, and another at Little River, in Rice County. In company with Mr. Getty, he built a large flouring-mill at Ellsworth, in which he still has a half interest. He also deals quite extensively in live-stock, and superintends the working of two large farms, which he owns in the vicinity of Ellsworth. This great accumulation of wealth in the short space of twenty years, is the result of hard work, energy, industry and economy.

James Henry Lane
Birth: Jun. 22, 1814, Lawrenceburg, Indiana.
Death: Jul. 11, 1866.
Burial: Oak Hill Cemetery, Lawrence, Douglas County, Kansas.
American soldier and politician. Born in Lawrenceburg Indiana to Amos Lane, Lawyer and Democratic representative to Congress. James received a common school education and studied law in his fathers office and in 1840 was admitted to the bar. In the Mexican War he served as a Colonel in the 5th Indiana Regiment, which he raised. Lane was elected Lieutenant Governor of Indiana from 1849 to 1853, and from 1853 to 1855 was elected a Democratic member of Congress from Indiana.
He emigrated to Kansas in 1855 and became 2nd in command of forces at Lawrence during the "Wakarusa War". In 1856 was elected to the U.S. Senate under the Topeka Constitution, the validity of which Congress refused to recognize. He was indicted for treason and left Kansas for a while returning in August 1856. After Kansas was admitted to the Union in 1861 Lane was elected Senator and left for Washington. Arriving in the capital, Lane immediately raised a company to guard President Lincoln. After the war sided with President Andrew Johnson against the Radical Republicans making powerful enemies and was soon accused of being involved in fraudulent Indian contracts. Severely depressed while defending himself and in fragile mental health, he shot himself to death in 1866

He was allegedly deranged, depressed, had been charged with abandoning his fellow Radical Republicans and had been accused of financial irregularities. He died ten days later near Leavenworth, Kansas, a result of the self-inflicted gunshot.

This sad occurance (sic) is deeply deplored by all and it is to be hoped that in the future, greater care will be given to guard against accidents of this kind.
Mr. Tanner, the father of the young man, is a man with a large family and very poor circumstances. All expenses attending the case, medical attendance and funeral, will be furnished by the city.

COLUMBUS COURIER, 6 July 1876.
Accident Report for JOHN TANNER.
SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
During the display of fireworks on the evening of the Fourth, a sky rocket was accidentally discharged into the crowd, surrounding the stand, which struck a boy in the face, crushing in the left cheek bone and making a frightful wound, and one that if he should live and get well, will disfigure him for life. The boy is about sixteen years old and is the son of JOSEPH TANNER, living about six miles northeast of this city. Medical attendance was given by all our physicians immediately, but at the present writing, twenty-four hours later, he is still unconscious and fears are entertained that he will not recover.
No blame is attached to any one for this accident, sad as may possibly be its termination, but what we would say, is, that, in general, the display of fire works are always attended with more or less danger. Several instances have come under our observation similar to this accident, where persons have been seriously injured by sky-rockets, and would it not be as well to spend our money for other things for amusements that are attended with no danger.
Note. John W Tanner, was born on May 31, 1858, and died on July. 11, 1876, and his burial was at; Lone Elm Cemetery, Columbus, Cherokee County, Kansas

With five hundred men, Colonel Cloud dashed through the lines of the enemy, over 15,000 strong, rescued the agent and carried off the four strong boxes containing the money. He escorted the train containing the money from Fort Gibson to Leavenworth. Colonel Cloud was transferred in January 1865 to command detachments sent against marauding Indians in Western Kansas and the Indian Territory. On January 10, 1865 he was mustered out of service.

Johnny Fry
Birth: 1840, Bourbon County, Kentucky.
Death: Oct. 6, 1863, Baxter Springs, Cherokee County, Kansas.
Burial: Baxter Springs Cemetery, Baxter Springs, Cherokee County, Kansas
Story & Photo provided by, John "J-Cat" Griffith.
Frontier Figure. In 1849, he moved to Missouri with his family and by age 16, he was well known as a skilled horseman. In early 1860, after Fry won a horse race near Rushville, Missouri, Alexander Major approached him about riding for his new founded Pony Express service. Thus on April 3, 1860, he became the first courier agent out of the St. Joseph Pony Express Station. Fry's division ran from St. Joseph to Seneca, Kansas, a distance of eighty miles, which he covered at an average speed of twelve and a half miles per hour, including all stops. A hard rider, he gained the reputation for never failing to deliver the mail and news flyers no matter what conditions prevailed be bandits, Indians or weather. He continued as a dispatcher until the telegraph line construction was completed ending the Pony Express service in October 1861. With the start of the Civil War, Fry was recruited by Union Army General James G. Blunt to serve as a messenger rider and scout, but his military career was cut short. On October 6, 1863, while on his way from Fort Gibson to Fort Scott with an important message, he was attacked by Confederate guerrillas. In a hand-to-hand fight with the Confederates, Fry killed five of his assailants before falling mortally wounded.
Authors note. The first westbound rider left St. Joseph, Missouri early in the evening of April 3, 1860, arriving in Marysville the next morning. Historians differ as to his identity, but local tradition says his name was Johnny Fry.

The Battle Between Buffalo Hunters and Indians.
Authors note. I ran across this article will researching Kansas surnames, and found the story very interesting and full of Kansas surnames from the past. I felt it should have a place at my web site so others could enjoy the story as well.
--------------------------
This story happened in Sherman County Kansas but includes
members of the BROWN family who homesteaded near Kirwin
in Phillips County.
Surnames in this article include: KIDDER, REESE, DIMMIT, BROWN, LUCAS, GERMAN, NIELL, CAMPBELL, SCHRODER, SARCH, HENLEY, WHEELER, CANFIELD, KUHRT, COLLIER, FLANDERS .
At this time, there are records of only two incidents in Sherman County history where Indians killed white men. The first incident was the deaths of Lt. Kidder and his command in July of 1867. The death of the three white buffalo hunters on April 15, 1875 is the second incident. Both of these incidents occurred in the same general area along the Beaver Creek in the northeast area of Sherman County. During the April 15, 1875 battle three white buffalo hunters were killed with at least three Indians shot, although some records indicate as many as five or six Indians were shot.
Research indicates that there were several camps of buffalo hunters located in the area in April 1875. On the upper Beaver was a well known water hole at the side of the often dry creek. A buffalo hunter, named Sol REESE was camped near the water hole with his partner, Dan DIMMIT.
Early that day, DIMMIT had gone alone to hunt buffalo, riding to the northwest. Later, to the north of the campsite, REESE witnessed a party of unidentified warriors that appeared to be ready to attack an unknown buffalo hunter. Shooting to warn the man, REESE came within rifle range before seeing the stranger fall. During the shooting, REESE had downed one Indian. Dan DIMMIT, warned by the shooting, crouched behind a low ridge and accounted for two more Indians being wounded or killed. Records indicate that the stranger probably shot several Indians before he was shot.
As the Indians left the area, RESSE and DIMMIT hurried to the fallen stranger. They discovered that he was dead and scalped. They took the body back to their camp near the water hole for burial. As was their custom, the Indians that had been shot were removed from the area by the remaining Indians so it is not known if they were wounded or killed. Nothing was left in the area to identify the tribe involved.
After burying the stranger, REESE and DIMMIT broke camp and traveled about five miles down the Beaver to an area known as Big Springs where they knew some of the other buffalo hunters were camped. There they found the corpses of Daniel BROWN and James LUCAS. REESE and DIMMIT buried LUCAS and BROWN near Big Springs. Before they finished with that task, Joe BROWN, who was a brother to Daniel, returned from taking a wagon load of buffalo hides to Fort Wallace. Joe BROWN was greatly upset over the death of his brother. He told REESE and DIMMIT that he had heard about other Indian attacks upon scattered buffalo hunter camps while at Fort Wallace and had tried to hurry back to warn his partners. It was decided to break camp and to head toward the settlements to the east.
Some of this information was gained from pages 85 through 87 of the book, Sutton's Southwest Nebraska by E.S. Sutton, published in 1983 According to Sutton's book, the April 15, 1875 battle was one of a series of historical events, which happened on the High Plains between Indians and the white man. Sutton describes the progress of these events and the way that each event was related to one another.
The first event, which took place about September 12, 1874, involved members of the GERMAN family, who were traveling alone across Kansas in a covered wagon. The GERMAN family was breaking camp on the Smokey Hill River about 35 miles east of Fort Wallace when members of the Kicking Horse Band attacked them. This band of Cheyenne was composed of 17 warriors and two women, Machsi Warrior and Good Woman.
NEILL, John and Lydia GERMAN, their son Steven plus daughters Rebecca and Jo Anne were killed. Daughters Catherine (age 17), Sophia (age 12), Julia (age 7), and Adeline (age 5) were taken captive. The Cheyenne band, with the girls of the GERMAN family, traveled south. The Cheyenne lady, known as Good Woman, had accepted responsibility for the younger two girls. It soon became apparent that the younger girls could not continue to travel at the fast rate nececessary in order for the band of Cheyenne to stay ahead of the military pursuit. A few days later, the younger two girls were left on the prairies well south of the Arkansas River. Although the girls were left alone, Good Woman knew that they would be quickly found and taken care of by the Stone Calf band, which were camped in that area.
On November 8, 1874, Julia and Adeline were rescued by the military, the Kicking Horse band continued on south into the desolute Staked Plains of Texas. The military hoped that the severe winter storms and starvation would force the Indians to surrender and return the captive girls.
On January 15, 1875, a Comanche messenger informed the military that the Cheyenne would surrender on military terms. The Cheyenne, with some other Indians, were undertaking the 200 mile walk back north to the Canadian River. The large group of Indians arrived there on March 5, 1875. Immediately an ambulance took the two GERMAN girls to Fort Reno in Oklahoma Territory. All weapons of the Indians were destroyed by the military. Among the group of 120 men plus 119 women and children that surrendered, there were only two men and Good Woman of the Kicking Horse band present. No account has been found as to what happened to the missing members of the Kicking Horse band.
The next related event occurred when Col. Thomas NIELL, finding only the three members of the Kicking Horse band, arbitrarily arrested 36 warriors (2 Arapahoe and 34 innocent Cheyenne). When the military attempted to place leg irons on the warriors, the warriors fought back and escaped. Co. B, 5th US Cavalry opened fire on the defenseless Indians. The military reported that six warriors and one woman (Good Woman) were found dead after the shelling.
With the escaping Indians assisting any wounded Indians, they pushed north into northern Kansas along the Sappa Creek. Here they camped to rest and to allow the wounded to heal. The area was known as Sappa Hole (later as The Cheyenne Hole), which is on a bend of the creek below a bluff. This site is near Oberlin, Kansas.
There is some reason to believe that the group of warriors involved in the battle of Beaver Creek might have been some of the Indians who had escaped the military shelling but there is no proof to that fact. Regardless, the next historical event in the series would have been the 1875 Sherman County battle.
Research indicated that after REESE, DIMMIT, and Joe BROWN left their camps along Beaver Creek they traveled east until they joined three other buffalo hunters- Hank CAMPBELL, Charles SCHRODER, and Sam SARCH- at their camp on Prairie Dog Creek north of the present day town of Colby, Kansas. The two groups joined together on April 22, 1875. Upon hearing of the deaths of Daniel BROWN, LUCAS and the stranger, these buffalo hunters were ready to attack a group of Indians that they had recently seen. Cooler heads convinced them to travel as a group toward the settlements. Each day more buffalo hunters joined the group.
In the same general area, Lt. HENLEY was leading a command of 40 men to seek the Indians that had earlier escaped the military shelling. A civilian, Homer WHEELER, was scouting for Lt. HENLEY's troop. While scouting, WHEELER came across the group of buffalo hunters. WHEELER was informed by the buffalo hunters that some Indians had been seen traveling toward Sappa Creek, which was about 17 miles north. WHEELER realized that the anger of some of the hunters included all Indians, innocent or otherwise, so he decided to lead the buffalo hunters to join Lt. HENLEY's Command.
Lt. HENLEY had orders to determine the identity of the Indians camped on the Sappa Creek so the troopers along with the large group of buffalo hunters continued to travel in that direction. There was talk, led by Joe BROWN, that the Indians at Sappa Hole should be killed, even though there was nothing to indicate that the Indians that had been involved in the deaths of three buffalo hunters in Sherman County had anything to do with the Indians camped by the Sappa Creek. Several of the hunters did not want to join in attacking the Indians but joined with the military when promised that no women or children would be killed. Apparently, DIMMIT left before the attack as his name is never mentioned in the later military investigation, and it is known that one hunter did drop out preceding the attack.
There was a heavy fog when the military and the group of buffalo hunters arrived on top of the bluff overlooking the camped Indians. Testimony at the military investigation later recorded: " no shots were fired at first except by buffalo hunters, who were prepared with cocked rifles, and any excuse was good enough, as they were itching for trouble; whereas, the Indians had taken pains to conceal their weapons, and when the fight started so unexpectedly, they were caught unprepared".
Others testified at the investigation that Joe BROWN was concerned that the Indians would escape due to the military's decision to go in under a 'white flag'. The reason for a 'white flag' was in order to question the Indians about those responsible for the deaths of the three hunters in Sherman County. It was testified that Joe BROWN was so angry that he went over the ridge with revolvers blazing. The Indians returned fire with Joe BROWN immediately being killed. Joe's action's resulted in a gun battle. During the gun battle at Cheyenne Hole on the Sappa Creek, the military and the group of buffalo hunters killed more than 60 of the camped Indians, mostly women and children.
Afterwards Joe BROWN's body was taken to be buried on the BROWN family homestead near Kirwin, Phillips County, Kansas. Later the family of the BROWN brothers came to dig up the body of Daniel from his grave in Sherman County to rebury beside his brother Joe. The stranger was identified as a Mr. CANFIELD. CANFIELD's body was claimed by his widow and was buried at Oberlin, the first interment at the cemetery.
Research indicates that the body of James LUCAS remains buried in Sherman County. According to a map drawn in 1950 by Paul KUHRT, LUCAS is buried a few yards north of Big Springs along the bend of the Beaver Creek to the west of where today the bridge on the Bird City and Edson road crosses the creek. Joseph COLLIER was the first to settle that area in 1879 and his home was in the general area. During Mr. COLLIER's lifetime, he was known to have tended the gravesite of James LUCAS.
The site of the Big Springs and the Water Hole camps, the area of the April 15, 1875 battle and the grave of James LUCAS are on the present day FLANDERS Ranch, often called the KUHRT's Ranch, in northeast Sherman County. Also in the area was found a 44.75 Caliber Sharps rifle, which was believed to have belonged to James LUCAS.
Of historical interest is the fact that the last recorded attack of settlers in Kansas happened near Oberlin. A band of Cheyenne Indians attacked some outlying settlers with some deaths. Even though the attack was several years later, it may have been the last of the series of related events, which included the April 15, 1875 battle between buffalo hunters and Indians in Sherman County.

--------------------------
This story happened in Sherman County Kansas but includes
members of the BROWN family who homesteaded near Kirwin
in Phillips County.
Surnames in this article include: KIDDER, REESE, DIMMIT, BROWN, LUCAS, GERMAN, NIELL, CAMPBELL, SCHRODER, SARCH, HENLEY, WHEELER, CANFIELD, KUHRT, COLLIER, FLANDERS .
At this time, there are records of only two incidents in Sherman County history where Indians killed white men. The first incident was the deaths of Lt. Kidder and his command in July of 1867. The death of the three white buffalo hunters on April 15, 1875 is the second incident. Both of these incidents occurred in the same general area along the Beaver Creek in the northeast area of Sherman County. During the April 15, 1875 battle three white buffalo hunters were killed with at least three Indians shot, although some records indicate as many as five or six Indians were shot.
Research indicates that there were several camps of buffalo hunters located in the area in April 1875. On the upper Beaver was a well known water hole at the side of the often dry creek. A buffalo hunter, named Sol REESE was camped near the water hole with his partner, Dan DIMMIT.
Early that day, DIMMIT had gone alone to hunt buffalo, riding to the northwest. Later, to the north of the campsite, REESE witnessed a party of unidentified warriors that appeared to be ready to attack an unknown buffalo hunter. Shooting to warn the man, REESE came within rifle range before seeing the stranger fall. During the shooting, REESE had downed one Indian. Dan DIMMIT, warned by the shooting, crouched behind a low ridge and accounted for two more Indians being wounded or killed. Records indicate that the stranger probably shot several Indians before he was shot.
As the Indians left the area, RESSE and DIMMIT hurried to the fallen stranger. They discovered that he was dead and scalped. They took the body back to their camp near the water hole for burial. As was their custom, the Indians that had been shot were removed from the area by the remaining Indians so it is not known if they were wounded or killed. Nothing was left in the area to identify the tribe involved.
After burying the stranger, REESE and DIMMIT broke camp and traveled about five miles down the Beaver to an area known as Big Springs where they knew some of the other buffalo hunters were camped. There they found the corpses of Daniel BROWN and James LUCAS. REESE and DIMMIT buried LUCAS and BROWN near Big Springs. Before they finished with that task, Joe BROWN, who was a brother to Daniel, returned from taking a wagon load of buffalo hides to Fort Wallace. Joe BROWN was greatly upset over the death of his brother. He told REESE and DIMMIT that he had heard about other Indian attacks upon scattered buffalo hunter camps while at Fort Wallace and had tried to hurry back to warn his partners. It was decided to break camp and to head toward the settlements to the east.
Some of this information was gained from pages 85 through 87 of the book, Sutton's Southwest Nebraska by E.S. Sutton, published in 1983 According to Sutton's book, the April 15, 1875 battle was one of a series of historical events, which happened on the High Plains between Indians and the white man. Sutton describes the progress of these events and the way that each event was related to one another.
The first event, which took place about September 12, 1874, involved members of the GERMAN family, who were traveling alone across Kansas in a covered wagon. The GERMAN family was breaking camp on the Smokey Hill River about 35 miles east of Fort Wallace when members of the Kicking Horse Band attacked them. This band of Cheyenne was composed of 17 warriors and two women, Machsi Warrior and Good Woman.
NEILL, John and Lydia GERMAN, their son Steven plus daughters Rebecca and Jo Anne were killed. Daughters Catherine (age 17), Sophia (age 12), Julia (age 7), and Adeline (age 5) were taken captive. The Cheyenne band, with the girls of the GERMAN family, traveled south. The Cheyenne lady, known as Good Woman, had accepted responsibility for the younger two girls. It soon became apparent that the younger girls could not continue to travel at the fast rate nececessary in order for the band of Cheyenne to stay ahead of the military pursuit. A few days later, the younger two girls were left on the prairies well south of the Arkansas River. Although the girls were left alone, Good Woman knew that they would be quickly found and taken care of by the Stone Calf band, which were camped in that area.
On November 8, 1874, Julia and Adeline were rescued by the military, the Kicking Horse band continued on south into the desolute Staked Plains of Texas. The military hoped that the severe winter storms and starvation would force the Indians to surrender and return the captive girls.
On January 15, 1875, a Comanche messenger informed the military that the Cheyenne would surrender on military terms. The Cheyenne, with some other Indians, were undertaking the 200 mile walk back north to the Canadian River. The large group of Indians arrived there on March 5, 1875. Immediately an ambulance took the two GERMAN girls to Fort Reno in Oklahoma Territory. All weapons of the Indians were destroyed by the military. Among the group of 120 men plus 119 women and children that surrendered, there were only two men and Good Woman of the Kicking Horse band present. No account has been found as to what happened to the missing members of the Kicking Horse band.
The next related event occurred when Col. Thomas NIELL, finding only the three members of the Kicking Horse band, arbitrarily arrested 36 warriors (2 Arapahoe and 34 innocent Cheyenne). When the military attempted to place leg irons on the warriors, the warriors fought back and escaped. Co. B, 5th US Cavalry opened fire on the defenseless Indians. The military reported that six warriors and one woman (Good Woman) were found dead after the shelling.
With the escaping Indians assisting any wounded Indians, they pushed north into northern Kansas along the Sappa Creek. Here they camped to rest and to allow the wounded to heal. The area was known as Sappa Hole (later as The Cheyenne Hole), which is on a bend of the creek below a bluff. This site is near Oberlin, Kansas.
There is some reason to believe that the group of warriors involved in the battle of Beaver Creek might have been some of the Indians who had escaped the military shelling but there is no proof to that fact. Regardless, the next historical event in the series would have been the 1875 Sherman County battle.
Research indicated that after REESE, DIMMIT, and Joe BROWN left their camps along Beaver Creek they traveled east until they joined three other buffalo hunters- Hank CAMPBELL, Charles SCHRODER, and Sam SARCH- at their camp on Prairie Dog Creek north of the present day town of Colby, Kansas. The two groups joined together on April 22, 1875. Upon hearing of the deaths of Daniel BROWN, LUCAS and the stranger, these buffalo hunters were ready to attack a group of Indians that they had recently seen. Cooler heads convinced them to travel as a group toward the settlements. Each day more buffalo hunters joined the group.
In the same general area, Lt. HENLEY was leading a command of 40 men to seek the Indians that had earlier escaped the military shelling. A civilian, Homer WHEELER, was scouting for Lt. HENLEY's troop. While scouting, WHEELER came across the group of buffalo hunters.

FRANK L. ABBEY.
FRANK L. ABBEY, M. D., long a resident of Newton and formerly a druggist but for twenty years a successful physician, has during the greater part of his professional career been identified with the Axtell Hospital as a member of its staff of physicians.
Doctor Abbey was born at Kingsbury, Illinois, February 1, 1861. He is of English ancestry, his grandfather, Luke Abbey, having been born in Yorkshire, England, in 1787. When about twenty-four years of age he came to America with his second wife and two children, and settled first in New Jersey, then in Ohio and finally, as a pioneer farmer, at Kingsbury, Illinois, in 1837. He died there in 1869. He married for his third wife Miss Hannah Mills, who was a native of New Jersey and died at Kingsbury, Illinois. She was the grandmother of Doctor Abbey. Charles W. Abbey, father of Doctor Abbey, was born at Trenton, New Jersey, in 1830 and when seven years of age accompanied his parents to Kingsbury, Illinois. He grew up and married there and spent his active career as a farmer. In 1864 he enlisted in Company B of the One Hundred and Fortieth Illinois Infantry and was in active service until the close of the war. In 1871 he came to Kansas, locating on a farm near Abilene for nine years, and then for seventeen years farmed in Coffey County near Burlington. He finally retired and came to Newton, where he died in 1909. Charles W. Abbey was a strict republican in politics and a member of the Masonic fraternity. The maiden name of his wife was Emily C. King. She was born in 1837 at Petersburg, New York, and is now living, at the age of eighty, in Newton, Kansas. Doctor Abbey was the oldest of her three children. William S. became a railroad engineer and died in San Antonio, Texas. L. B. Abbey, the youngest, is now assistant superintendent of terminals for the Kansas City Southern Railway Company and lives at Port Arthur, Texas.

Wakarusa War.
There well be two militia rosters one from Topeka and one from Tecumseh, these companies went to the defense of Lawrence.
------------------------------
During the summer and fall of 1855, excitement ran high in Kansas on account of the struggle between the free-state and pro-slavery parties. Several events occurred which made strife between men of opposing political interests more bitter. Charles W. Dow, a free-state man, was shot by Franklin N. Coleman, a pro-slavery leader of Hickory Point (q. v.) in a dispute over a claim. This occurred on Nov. 21, 1855, and was the beginning of a series of difficulties which led to the Wakarusa war. The culminating event was the rescue by free-state men of Jacob Branson, with whom Dow had lived, after his arrest by Samuel J. Jones, sheriff of Douglas county. Jones at once started for Franklin with his posse, and sent a dispatch to his father-in-law, Col. Boone, at Westport, Mo., asking for aid to recapture Branson. Word was also sent to Gov. Shannon at the Shawnee Mission, for 3,000 men to put down the rebellion at Lawrence. There are people who believe that the whole affair was planned as a trap to catch the free-state men and to serve as an excuse for the destruction of Lawrence.
Without ascertaining the actual condition of affairs, the governor issued a proclamation calling out the militia of Kansas—which really meant the ruffians of Missouri—to put down the rebellion at Lawrence. The people of Missouri were ready and were not long in responding to the call. Holloway, in his History of Kansas, says, "For two or three counties back from the western line of Missouri, troops were sent fully equipped and expecting to fight." In three days some 1,500 had rushed across the border and were confronting Lawrence. Said Gov. Shannon: "Missouri sent not only her young men, but her gray-haired citizens were there. The man of seventy winters stood shoulder to shoulder with the youth of sixteen. There were volunteers in that camp and with them were not only their sons, but their grandsons to join in the fray." The main camp of the besiegers was near Franklin, about 3 miles southeast of Lawrence, and the other wing was in position near Lecompton, under command of Strickler and Richardson.
In Lawrence preparations for defense were going on. As soon as it was learned that a force was gathering on the Wakarusa, all those concerned with the rescue of Branson were requested to leave Lawrence. This was done to show that the town had taken no part in the rescue. A committee of safety was appointed which organized the citizens into guards of 15 or 20 men in a squad, by enrolling them and taking their residence, so that they could be called out at any moment. In this way they were enabled to pursue their business and still be ready to take up arms at a signal. The news of the threatened invasion and the intention to destroy Lawrence spread rapidly through the territory, with the result that the free-state men rushed to the aid of the besieged, until there were probably 800 men armed and equipped for defense in the town. The committee of safety appointed Dr. Charles Robinson commander-in-chief of all the forces, with Col. J. H. Lane second in command. Lyman Allen commanded the Lawrence Stubbs; Samuel Walker, the company from Bloomington; Maj. Abbott, the Wakarusa company; a man named Shore, the Ottawa Creek company; McWheeney, the company from Palmyra; and the Pottawatomie company was under the command of John Brown, who arrived with his four sons, arms and ammunition just as the treaty of peace was about to be signed. Every house was filled with soldiers and the free-state hotel was used as a barracks. Five redoubts were built, which commanded every approach to the city. The largest was erected on Massachusetts street near the crossing of Pinckney. It was circular, made of hewn timber, against which an earth embankment was thrown up about 5 feet high and 4 feet wide at the top, while surrounding it was a deep intrenchment. It was designed as a retreat for the women and children in case of an attack. The second line of works was on Massachusetts street, consisting of three rude forts in a line across Vermont, Massachusetts and Rhode Island streets coinciding to that of Henry street. The third was a circular redoubt built on an elevation a little north of Henry street between Massachusetts and New Hampshire streets. The fourth was south of the fort on Henry street and was built to repulse an attack from Mount Oread, should one be made from that direction. The fifth was on Kentucky street, commanding an entrance from a ravine on the west. A cannon which had been sent to Kansas City was also smuggled into the besieged town.
The siege was really commenced on Saturday, Dec. 1, and lasted about a week. The forces on both sides were prepared for war. The defenders spent much time in drilling and strengthening their position, while the invaders waited the command of Sheriff Jones to move upon Lawrence. The Sharp's rifles that had been shipped to Lawrence from New England became of immense value at this time, as the fear of them kept the enemy from a sudden attack. Blackmar, in his Life of Charles Robinson, says: "It was a strange spectacle, almost a comedy had it not been so near a tragedy, and in any case was certainly a travesty on free government, for the United States Senator Atchison to be commanding this singular horde, while Gov. Shannon was hurrying other commands to the scene of war. There was no excuse for it all. The rescuers of Branson had left the town, and there was not a day in which Jones might not go through Lawrence unmolested in doing his duty. He actually did go to the town and return without being disturbed. Gov. Shannon became alarmed first for the safety of the attacking Missourians, and second for the safety of Lawrence. He sent to Col. Sumner, at Leavenworth, for United States troops, but Sumner would not come without orders from "Washington."
From the surrounding towns Lawrence continued to receive reinforcements, who were usually surprised to find that the inhabitants were strictly on the defensive instead of the aggressive as reported by the pro-slavery men. Finally the citizens sent a delegation to the governor to acquaint him with the true situation. Being incredulous, he was persuaded to go to Lawrence to see for himself, and upon his arrival was amazed at the situation. The besiegers and besieged were brought into conference by him. The governor, Col. Boone, of Westport, Mo., Col. Kearney, of Independence. Mo., and Gen. Strickler, of Kansas, were duly conducted to Lawrence and to the rooms of the committee of safety in the Free-State hotel. Dr. Robinson and Col. Lane conducted the negotiations on the part of the free-state men, as members of the committee of safety, and after both sides of the question had been discussed, the governor suggested that a treaty be drawn up and signed by the leaders, which was done. Blackmar, in his Life of Charles Robinson, says "it was an excellent way out of a dilemma, but here was another scene in the drama of spectacular government; the town of Lawrence in rebellion, treating with the Kansas militia, the latter commanded by officers living in Missouri."
The good will of the people of Lawrence and their genuine desire to settle the war was shown by the treaty. After it was signed Robinson and Lane accompanied the governor to the camp of the militia, where Gov. Shannon persuaded them to accept the treaty and withdraw. This was not easily accomplished, but the Missourians finally started for home.

------------------------------
During the summer and fall of 1855, excitement ran high in Kansas on account of the struggle between the free-state and pro-slavery parties. Several events occurred which made strife between men of opposing political interests more bitter. Charles W. Dow, a free-state man, was shot by Franklin N. Coleman, a pro-slavery leader of Hickory Point (q. v.) in a dispute over a claim. This occurred on Nov. 21, 1855, and was the beginning of a series of difficulties which led to the Wakarusa war. The culminating event was the rescue by free-state men of Jacob Branson, with whom Dow had lived, after his arrest by Samuel J. Jones, sheriff of Douglas county. Jones at once started for Franklin with his posse, and sent a dispatch to his father-in-law, Col. Boone, at Westport, Mo., asking for aid to recapture Branson. Word was also sent to Gov. Shannon at the Shawnee Mission, for 3,000 men to put down the rebellion at Lawrence. There are people who believe that the whole affair was planned as a trap to catch the free-state men and to serve as an excuse for the destruction of Lawrence.
Without ascertaining the actual condition of affairs, the governor issued a proclamation calling out the militia of Kansas—which really meant the ruffians of Missouri—to put down the rebellion at Lawrence. The people of Missouri were ready and were not long in responding to the call. Holloway, in his History of Kansas, says, "For two or three counties back from the western line of Missouri, troops were sent fully equipped and expecting to fight." In three days some 1,500 had rushed across the border and were confronting Lawrence. Said Gov. Shannon: "Missouri sent not only her young men, but her gray-haired citizens were there. The man of seventy winters stood shoulder to shoulder with the youth of sixteen. There were volunteers in that camp and with them were not only their sons, but their grandsons to join in the fray." The main camp of the besiegers was near Franklin, about 3 miles southeast of Lawrence, and the other wing was in position near Lecompton, under command of Strickler and Richardson.
In Lawrence preparations for defense were going on. As soon as it was learned that a force was gathering on the Wakarusa, all those concerned with the rescue of Branson were requested to leave Lawrence. This was done to show that the town had taken no part in the rescue. A committee of safety was appointed which organized the citizens into guards of 15 or 20 men in a squad, by enrolling them and taking their residence, so that they could be called out at any moment. In this way they were enabled to pursue their business and still be ready to take up arms at a signal. The news of the threatened invasion and the intention to destroy Lawrence spread rapidly through the territory, with the result that the free-state men rushed to the aid of the besieged, until there were probably 800 men armed and equipped for defense in the town. The committee of safety appointed Dr. Charles Robinson commander-in-chief of all the forces, with Col. J. H. Lane second in command. Lyman Allen commanded the Lawrence Stubbs; Samuel Walker, the company from Bloomington; Maj. Abbott, the Wakarusa company; a man named Shore, the Ottawa Creek company; McWheeney, the company from Palmyra; and the Pottawatomie company was under the command of John Brown, who arrived with his four sons, arms and ammunition just as the treaty of peace was about to be signed. Every house was filled with soldiers and the free-state hotel was used as a barracks. Five redoubts were built, which commanded every approach to the city. The largest was erected on Massachusetts street near the crossing of Pinckney. It was circular, made of hewn timber, against which an earth embankment was thrown up about 5 feet high and 4 feet wide at the top, while surrounding it was a deep intrenchment. It was designed as a retreat for the women and children in case of an attack. The second line of works was on Massachusetts street, consisting of three rude forts in a line across Vermont, Massachusetts and Rhode Island streets coinciding to that of Henry street. The third was a circular redoubt built on an elevation a little north of Henry street between Massachusetts and New Hampshire streets. The fourth was south of the fort on Henry street and was built to repulse an attack from Mount Oread, should one be made from that direction. The fifth was on Kentucky street, commanding an entrance from a ravine on the west. A cannon which had been sent to Kansas City was also smuggled into the besieged town.
The siege was really commenced on Saturday, Dec. 1, and lasted about a week. The forces on both sides were prepared for war. The defenders spent much time in drilling and strengthening their position, while the invaders waited the command of Sheriff Jones to move upon Lawrence. The Sharp's rifles that had been shipped to Lawrence from New England became of immense value at this time, as the fear of them kept the enemy from a sudden attack. Blackmar, in his Life of Charles Robinson, says: "It was a strange spectacle, almost a comedy had it not been so near a tragedy, and in any case was certainly a travesty on free government, for the United States Senator Atchison to be commanding this singular horde, while Gov. Shannon was hurrying other commands to the scene of war. There was no excuse for it all. The rescuers of Branson had left the town, and there was not a day in which Jones might not go through Lawrence unmolested in doing his duty. He actually did go to the town and return without being disturbed. Gov. Shannon became alarmed first for the safety of the attacking Missourians, and second for the safety of Lawrence. He sent to Col. Sumner, at Leavenworth, for United States troops, but Sumner would not come without orders from "Washington."
From the surrounding towns Lawrence continued to receive reinforcements, who were usually surprised to find that the inhabitants were strictly on the defensive instead of the aggressive as reported by the pro-slavery men. Finally the citizens sent a delegation to the governor to acquaint him with the true situation. Being incredulous, he was persuaded to go to Lawrence to see for himself, and upon his arrival was amazed at the situation. The besiegers and besieged were brought into conference by him. The governor, Col. Boone, of Westport, Mo., Col. Kearney, of Independence. Mo., and Gen. Strickler, of Kansas, were duly conducted to Lawrence and to the rooms of the committee of safety in the Free-State hotel. Dr. Robinson and Col. Lane conducted the negotiations on the part of the free-state men, as members of the committee of safety, and after both sides of the question had been discussed, the governor suggested that a treaty be drawn up and signed by the leaders, which was done. Blackmar, in his Life of Charles Robinson, says "it was an excellent way out of a dilemma, but here was another scene in the drama of spectacular government; the town of Lawrence in rebellion, treating with the Kansas militia, the latter commanded by officers living in Missouri."
The good will of the people of Lawrence and their genuine desire to settle the war was shown by the treaty. After it was signed Robinson and Lane accompanied the governor to the camp of the militia, where Gov. Shannon persuaded them to accept the treaty and withdraw. This was not easily accomplished, but the Missourians finally started for home.

First Regiment Kansas Volunteers Infantry-Deserters.
All these men were of the Kansas First, infantry, and all were deserters. There were many reasons to desert, many would call them cowards, but there is a fine line between being a coward and a hero. There are many reasons to desert family, crops and fear itself. For you who find a ancestor here should not be ashamed, for you have no idea what he was thinking nor what was going on in his family life, just take note that he was in the army and trying to do his country honor.
