George Sexton was in town the other
day and told of an experience he and
G. w. Frisby had in the Indian Terri
tory. They had killed and shipped
east about 800 turkeys and several
deer. Amos Chapman, the scout, with
bunch of Indians, hunted up and cap
tured Sexton and Frisby and took them
to Camp Supply, where they were made
to give up their guns and leave the
Territory. Sexton tells of his prowess
when arrested that shows the kind Of a
man he is: He says. he cussed and
abused Amos Chapman in the boldest
manner and finally disarmed Chapman
and his whole band but in some way
Amos got back his arms and those Of
the prisoners, too. At Camp Supply,
Sexton claims to have had a big row
with the colonel commanding, giving
him, the colonel, piece of his mind on
the outrage of having him, Sexton, a
United States commissioner, arrested
by common scout and band of grea-
sy Indians. Sexton also invited the
