A Daring Man.

The St. Louis Republican recently
contained an article from the Sacra-
mento Record Union styled :" Kit Car
sons Nephew" which as writer
thinks, casts an unjust reflection upon
an honorable name of which Missouri
ans especially should be proud. The
article in question mentions the arrest
of one calling himself Charles Carson,
and claiming to be the nephew of Kit
Carson, for grand larceny in Winnie
mucca County, California. The writer
of this was an early emigrant to Eastern
Idaho, now Montana, and in the sum-
mer of 1864, while sojourning for a
time at Fort Benton, became acquaint-
ed with the veritable Charlie Carson,
well known among mountain men as
nephew of Kit Carson, and Il man
worthy the name he bore-cool, quiet,
brave, an intelligent guide, familiar
with the mountains and prairie, and
known and respected by the Indians as
a formidable fighter. The hatred of
the Bloods and North Piegan bands of
the Blackfeet toward him was intense,
and they had cause to fear him as well.
In the early part of 1865 pioneer of
the northwest named Burgess, with his
party, attempted to build a trading
post at the mouth of the Marias, twelve
miles below Fort Benton. 1t was stu
ated upon territory claimed by the
North Piegans, who were then located
far to the north, on Belly River. They
determined to eXterminate Burgess
party. He went across the Teton with
two teams and a few men for timber On
their return seventy-tive mounted In
dams made a rush, surrounded them in
the prairie. and, after a desperate re-
sistance, resulting in a severe loss to
the Indians, slaughtered them to the
last man. Carson was then at Fort
Benton. Shortly after one of the band
who destroyed the Burgess party came
into the fort in the guise of a friendly
South Piegan, who were then residing
at the fort. Carson found this out, and
shot him dead as he attempted
to escape by swimming the Mis-
souri, Soon afterward, in the fall
of 1865, horses were stolen from
the range near the fort, by a
party of the same band. Carson, with
two men, took their trail and came,up-
on them in their camp at night in the
Bad Lands on the waters of Eagle creek,
