Lieutenant William P. Clark, who had developed a special rapport with the Indians, was sent after Chief Little Wolf and his band of Indians in the spring of 1879. On 25 March Lieutenant Clark located Little Wolf's encampment at Box Elder Creek, Montana. After negotiations, he persuaded the chief and his band to return under escort to Fort McKeogh. The Army enlisted several of them as scouts, allowing them to stay in the north. On 10 April, during the march back to Fort McKeogh, a small band of Indians escaped and attacked two soldiers. Sergeant Glover and ten men in his charge from Troop B, Second Cavalry, charged the Indians and, though outnumbered, surrounded them forced them to surrender. Sergeant Glover was also cited for his participation in the action at Pumpkin Creek, Montana, on February 10 the following year.
