November eighteenth, Captain Glazier heard from his advance agent, Mr.
Walter Montgomery, then in Sacramento, who was in ignorance of the
captain's adventure among the Indians after leaving Cheyenne, except
that certain startling rumors had reached him of the captain having been
killed by the Sioux. Mr. Montgomery had accordingly written to various
points for information of the missing horseman; and to allay the fears
of his numerous well-wishers, who were in doubt as to his safety,
Captain Glazier, after leaving Ogden, wrote the following summary of his
adventure, addressed to his friend, Major E. M. Hessler, of Cleveland,
Ohio:

Cleveland, Ohio.

Dear Sir and Comrade: I learn through my advance agent Mr.
Montgomery, that a letter, manifesting some anxiety for my
welfare, was recently addressed to you. I hasten to say that I am
again in the saddle, and although for three days the guest of the
Arrapahoes, I am still in the best of spirits, and with even more

Salt Lake City with a small drove of mustangs and Indian ponies. We
were attacked on the thirty-first of the same month by a straggling
band of Arrapahoes, near Skull Rocks, on the Laramie Plains. One
Indian was killed, and my companions and myself were made prisoners
after using up nearly all our ammunition in the effort to repulse
our assailants. The herder whose fire killed the Indian was
afterwards tied to a stake and most cruelly tortured to death.
Bound to my remaining companion with thongs, we were on the
following morning placed upon ponies and marched rapidly to the
northward.

Breaking away from our captors on the night of November second by
disabling two of our guards, we were followed some miles
