Letter from Col. Neil Howie to Capt. N.L. Turner at Virginia City
(HEAD Qrs.1st Mon Vols.
(on the Boulder River
(August 29th 1867
CAPTAIN:
I started on the 27th ultimo with seventy-five men, to discover if possible the fate of Capt Weston and his comrade. Yesterday, as the advance of the Command neared the Boulder, a body of Indians were discovered crossing said stream and charging toward them with the evident intent of giving battle, but word reaching me and the main Command with the Artillery being hurried forward, the enemy hastily recrossed the Boulder and shelter in the thick timber and underbrush on its oposite banks. From their manuevers I was satisfied that the Indians were in force, and as they held the regular crossing from both above and below, I deemed it too hazardous to undertake to cross my little command at once; but decided first to drive them from their cover by use of artillery. Less than half a dozen shells from our Howitzers served to route them from the ambuscade - scattering them both up the stream and back on to the prairie. I divided my force, crossed them at two different places and advanced through the timber to engage them; but when we reached the open field, the Indians were all fleeing rapidly and were nearly two miles distant across the plateau.
Leaving an officer and small guard in charge of the Artillery and Pack animals, I immediately started in pursuit but failed to overtake them, after a ride of eight miles. Though evidently surprised when we first came upon them, the Indians had the advantage of having the Boulder River between us and their camp, and while our horses had made a hard days march theirs were entirely fresh.
But arrival here was most opportune; for these same Savages had attacked and surrounded three white men who were bearing messages from Fort C.F. Smith, and who, on the instant of our coming up were about to fall captives to the merciless and fiendish foe. - Even as it was our rescued friends were all wounded - one so fatally as to expire soon after.
These men had fought bravely, and with their unerring rifles caused many red Devils to bite the dust. My command found a number of dead Indian horses on the field, and among them was the one Capt Weston rode on his prospecting trip.
We also found in the hastily deserted camp of the Indians the cooking utensils, pack saddles and prospecting tools which Capt Weston & party had taken with them and which were captured from them on the Stillwater.
A hat was also found, which was recognized as that worn by a man named Brown, who came in this tion prospecting, in July last; [since] which time nothing has been heard from or of him. There remains no doubt whatever in my mind but that Capt Weston & his comrade has been killed, and their bodies given to the wolves. Thus three more generous hearted citizens have been added to the long list of brave pioneers who, -venturing to open the pathway of Civilization into this rich, classically picturesque and most inviting region, have [met the] fate of that awful death which the American Savage alone can inflict.
I shall leave here today with fifty men and three days rations, and make a forced march as far as the Clark [Fork] to try & overtake this party. Everything found in their deserted camp goes to prove that these Indians were, and are, a "war party" of Crows, Cheyennes & Sioux; - the head chiefs of whom are now at Laramie or vicinity, on a PEACE (!) MISSION; - after a reinforcement of powder & ball.
Sunday, September 1
The bugle sounded revelee at break of day, horses saddled up in short time, started and rode 12 or 15 miles to Yellowstone Cannon [Canyon], when we camped for breakfast at 8 oc. Went fishing without any success, grand splend & good shade from the sun, stayed about 2 hours in camp & started, had not gone far when we discovered fresh horse tracks and going and coming. After crossing Deer Creek, 8 miles from Boulder, we passed the tracks and concluded the indians might be on either of the Deer Creeks. Took a party of 16 men and went up Deer Creek 5 miles, found a pony track made a day or two ago. Plenty of bear & elk sighns crossed the divide from Deer Creek to the Boulder about 8 miles to camp, found all right. Col. Nelson arrived with his company & Capt. Heart's company from Virginia, making quite a respectable command. Capt. Nelson informed me that the Govenor's Aid assured him that he would Leiut. Colonel under me, which I was glad to hear. Placed a strong guard around camp, weather beautifull, cool at night.

Took the trail through the camp, which is a much near and more pleasant rout, halted at the upper end of the canon to fish and let our horses eat, caught three fish. Dr. Dunbar came up and gave the election news, 28 for Cavaungh, remained here much longer his hopes of getting more fish. Started late in the afternoon and arrived in camp a little over 2 hours, distance of 20 miles, found all right in camp, expect Cavanaugh ahead on the poll book. Major John Kingsley in camp, was going on this evening as far as Bozeman, but could not get any horses. Maguire and me & two others a little tight, made my bed under the hill, slept alone.
Tuesday, September 3
Started late with Mr. Maguire, rode a wild pony and let Maguire ride Dr. Dunleavie's horse. Met a messenger on the road with dispatches from Head Quarters with instructions to march 200 or 250 men against the indians. As I was going to see the Govenor in regard to this, I decided not to go to V.A. City, but attended some social arraignments in the valley and return to camp. Capt. Evans overtook us and called on Capt.‑‑‑‑ Commander of the Post at Bozeman. Stayed overnight at Mr. Coonies, weather beautifull.

(Fort T.F.Meagher M.T.[Livingston]
Captain:
Leaving the Boulder River on the night of the 29th of August with a force of fifty(50) men, I struck out toward the Clearwater, in hopes of being able to overtake and chastise the war party of Savages who had committed the murders mentioned in my communication of the 29th ultimo. .... - making some thirty (30) miles; when I halted to rest the stock and allow some time for grazing - At daylight I again started, having about eight(8) miles to march, to where Captain Weston & comrade were last seen. We reached the spot about 8 o'clock A.M. and began to search. We soon found portions of Capt Weston's body, and fragments of his clotheing which were readily identified. Very little of the body remained, the wolves having torn it into pieces and scattered it over a space of hundred yards square.
After gathering up all that could be found of these remains, I ordered graves to be dug and the same decently burried. We then went on and found the bones of the Emigrant (Hodges) half a mile from the grave of Weston. These remains were in the same condition of the others, and were cared for in the same manner.
