At Fort Arbuckle in present-day Garvin County, Oklahoma, a group of Comanches were reported nearby. Immediately, Lieutenant David S. Stanley turned out his Company D, First Cavalry and gave pursuit. After a chase of some miles in the Wachita Mountains, a skirmish was fought, with the Comanche party losing seven men killed. Company D suffered no injuries. (By John Osborne)
