The two days’ fight had resulted in no killing on either side, but on Wednesday morning the conditions were anything but promising for the cattlemen. During the previous night rifle pits had been dug within 300 yards of the fort and the Go-Devil, or Ark of Safety, was ready for business. The first bomb sent into the enemy’s camp would have forced some of the men from cover and the sharpshooters in the rifle pits would have sent them to earth. Two hours’ delay in the arrival of the government troops would have proven, in all probability, fatal to the besieged white caps. A little after sun-up on the morning of the 13th, Colonel J. J. Van Horn filed into camp with three troops of cavalry from Fort McKinney. The Colonel, bearing a flag of truce and accompanied by his staff, Captain Parmalee, Governor Barber’s aide-de-camp, and Sheriff Angus, advanced to the fort and demanded the surrender of the party. Major Walcott, in command of the invaders, replied: “I will surrender to you, but to that man (turning and pointing to Sheriff Angus), never. I have never seen him before, but I have heard enough of him and rather than give up to him we will die right here. He has the best of us now, because our plans have miscarried, but it will be different yet.” (The above response of Major Walcott is as reported by the press correspondent present at the time, and is accepted by the public as true.) Preparations were at once made for the transfer of the captives to Fort McKinney and in two hours’ time they were on the road to the post. The citizens quietly dispersed, many going directly to their homes and others riding into Buffalo. All seemed to be satisfied with the turn of affairs, but all equally insisted that when the excitement cooled off somewhat, the prisoners should be turned over to the civil authorities for trial. The following is a list of the men who surrendered to Colonel Van Horn: A. B. Clark, E. W. Whitcomb, A. D. Adamson, C. S. Ford, W. H. Tabor, G. R. Tucker, A. R. Powers, D. E. Booke, B. M.
