PAY FOR his SCALP.
: A Pretty Just Claim for the Loss of His
From the Globe-Democrat.

Hair.
From the Glcbe-Democrat.
Senator Plumb has introduced a
bill to Fay $4,000 to a man who was
scalped. Accompanying the afida-
Wits and other papers in the case is
a realistic piece of evidence in the
form Of a recent photograph. This
picture shows the head as it looks
now, tweny-six years after the
knife was applied.
The claimant is Robert MCGEE.
His home is at Easton, Leavenworth
county, Kansas. In 1864 McGee
was only IA years old, but he was
rather la:ge of his age and thought
he coul d induce the officers to ac-
cept him as recruit. He went to
Fort Leavenworth and enlisted.
When the mastering came on Nc
Gee was rejected, but was given
place as teamster by a contractor
who was about to take wagon train
OF government supplies from Fort
Leavenworth to Fort Union, in New
Mexico. McGee was an orphan.
He had no home to which he could
return and friends with whom he
could advise. He took the position
of teamster under the impression
that he was still in the government
service, although he had been reject
ed as a soldier, Near what is now
the fourishing city Of Larned the
wagon train was wiped out by Little
Turtles band of Indians. McGee
was the only survivor. He vas
scalped and left on the ground for
dead. This happened on July II,
1864. The terrible ordeal left the
boy shattered in health. For many
years he made a living by exhibiting
his SCARED crown, and now he ap-
peals to the government, not for
pension, but for the lump sum Of
$4,000. The claim comes under the
classification of Indian depredations,
although there is nothing just like
it on the records.
The papers are now In the hands
of the select committee on Indian
depreciation claims.
