Carnahan, telegraph operator who gave the world the story of the Custer massacre, died here October 24. He was eighty-nine years old. In 1876 Carnahan flashed the news of the massacre on Little Big Horn to the nation. He had been handling General Custer's official messages to President Grant. Mr Carnahan was a friend of many members of the Bismarck garrison, which was included in the expedition led by General George Armstrong Custer against the Sioux Indians in June. 1876. The telegraph operator and the post surgeon rode out with the expedition, accompanied by the Seventh cavalry 12 miles, and returned with the last dispatch sent by General Custer. It was to President Grant and told of plans for the expedition. On'the night of July 5 the steamship Far West tied up at Bismarck, bringing back the wounded from the command of Major Marcus Albert Reno and the official dispatches relating the annihilation of Custer and tiis men Summoned from his bed, Mr. Carnahan found on his desk a carpetbag full of official reports of the light and the results. Quickly sizing up the job, he flashed word Last of the massacre, then transmitted the official story to the War Department at Washington. He tapped the key for 21 hours, slept three hours and returned to the key. Despite the demand of Eastern newspapers for details, he could not answer them until the official work was completed. Then he sent all he :ould find out to newspapers in New York, Chicago and St. Paul. In two shifts he sent out 80,000 words, and the receipts of his office for the two Jays were $3,000. When the correspondents arrived one from New York filed 22,000 words, and Mr. Carnahan sent for 12 hours, the tolls being 11,320. The correspondent gave Carnahan $50 for his extra work, and the operator kept the bill as a memento of the time.
