ORIGIN OF A POPULAR PHRASE-AN INDIAN SUPERSTITION
A TALE OF SUSPENDED ANIMATION.

themselves In the gorge. They were
armed, and carried with them six human
skulls belonging to the surgeon of the
party.
The whites had resolved to play upon
the superstition of the red man, N for
that purpose especially had they chosen
this dark retreat of which the Indians had
long been timid.
II was 10 o'clock at night March II,
1856 when the white settlers reached the
dreaded ravine. They hurriedly stationed
themselves with their muskets command
ing the Indian trail, while Tour Of the
party lighted pitch torches and inserted
them into the skulls after the "Jack-
o'lantern" fashion, thus giving them a
most CHASTITY appearance.
The lighted skulls were stuck up
across the path the Indians would have
to travel on their wal to attack the camp.
The savages came stealing along In
large numbers about midnight, and SEQ
ing the ghoul-like flre-eyed skulls stretch
ing across their very pathway, they took
them for human devils and fled in great
fright, never pausing until the camp
ing grounds Of the Indians were reached.
The whites were saved by stra .egem,
and the Indians nave ever since held a
supcrstitious fear of this section Of the
country.

He Made the shot Aner All.

Doc Baldwin was in st. Paul yesterday,
says the Pioneer Press. In Nebraska he is
quite n local character In the central por-
ton of the state. The first time ] ever
saw him was in the winter of 1915. He
was playing billiards with a deputy sheriff
In the barroom of the hotel in Lone Tree.
The sheriff was eating peanuts by the bar,
and the prosecuting attorney of the judi
cial district was playing sancho pedro
with the county clerk.
Suddenly the proprietor OF the hotel
mounted the step-ladder, fumbled around
among some pasteboard boxes on the top
shelf behind the bar, found an old H-cali-
Der revolver, took il down, brushed of the
dust and shot at Baldwin. The latter was
just squirting for n difficult carrom. and
when the hotel man fired and missed,
Baldwin lowered his cue without making
the shot, leaned against the billiard table
and inquired, nonchalantly:
what did you do that for"
"iout hink Ed Parker will make the
rifle for representative from this county,
ayes. sir; that's what ! think" replied
Baldwin.
"Then ! ann going To shoot, again."
'Shoot and be DID," said Baldwin.
The sheriff continued to eat peanuts,
the deputy sheriff got to one side. the
prosecuting attorney and the county clerk
not being in range, quietly continued the
game. II was altogether "A move sight.
But b hotel man finally concluded to re-
frain from shooting and threw h pistol
into the cash drawer.

X. MADE n BREAD.
An Unpublished story ON the Late John
". Beidler.

y. Beidier.
From the Jefferson County Sentinel.
In 1861 in Colorado territory there were
many stampedes from Denver to the min
ing belts in the adjacent mountains. On
most OF these occasions we used saddle
horses and pack animals.
On one occasion about the above date,
Y. Beidler and Bill Roe left Denver with
a small pack train of mules and ''buros"
or pack-jacks loaded with provisions and
miners supplies for the Southern Col
orado mines rear Georgia Rulch.
Soon after leaving Denver n man by the
name of Ding Darling came to them and
and would like to travel with them and
help them with the train n about camp
for his board. To this y. and Bill agreed,
and he joined them.
The first camp made was "a cosy n on
the banks of the South Platte river. The
midday sun was warm, and after unload
ing their animals and turning them out to
Craze, they all took a rest in the shade OF
the pines. After a while some
thing was said about dinner, water,
fire. bread-makinr, etc. Bill offered to
build the fire and bring the water IL y.
would make the bread, y. objected, tel
ling Bill that he was the best bread-
maker. They parlcyed some moments
over the matter, when their attention was
called to their travelling companion, Ding
Darling. He wore a greasy SLOUGH hat,
n flannel shirt with the sleeves worn oil
to the elbow, moccasins on his feet and a
pair of greasy buckskin pants ripped open
from the lower button i'm front to the
waistband on the opposite side
Ding listened to y. and Bill very
a~nxiously concerning her matter of dinner
as he was hungry; and when he saw that
Y. and Bill could not agree as to who
should make the bread, he rose TO his feet,
and said: "Show me the pan and Hour
and I'll mix 'er"
y. jumped to his feet al once and said
"No. Ding, you are too tired to make
bread: you lay still and rest"
Bill built the fire and y. made the bread
for dinner.

Then he became a tough character. Jack
Smith, a Philadelphia and popular fel-
low, got a little full and sauntering into
Barkley's place he accidentally broke a
woman of the place precipitated a guar
rel, and Barkley, in b presence of two
men, shot Smith down.
1.-THE Philadelphia boys collected to-
gether, formed a vigilance
and arrested Barkley. News was spread
quickly in those days, and before night
Jim Stewart, the sheriff, had heard
of the vigilance committee, IN
he and two other brave men came
galloping down to Columbia. L

house after the murder, and / happened
also to find out that Jim Stewart and his
men were coming. SO ! tool a short cut
down to the place of hanging and warned
the boys. There were over a thousand OF
those men, so they just formed a solid
wall around their prisoner and kept the
sheriff back until the murderer was lead.
The place chosen for the execution was
on the road between Columbia and Gold
Springs, and the gallows was the fiume
that crossed over the road at a height of
70 feet. Barkley was the first, but there
were many others who were subsequently
lynched on that fiume. The warning note

\ P1atnsbnan Tells u funnv story OF 70
Venturesome Tenderfoot.
Still further proof of the superior char
acter Of the wolf il found, according to
Mr.. Mumford, in its musical taste. says
the New York Sun. He says that once
upon a time a tendcrfoot came to his
cal i'm in February and engaged his help
i'm securing "A number of wolf pelts. As
the easiest way to accomplish this Mr..
Mumford Amounted the mans heels with
asafetida and sent him oil up q gorge
where wolves were known To be. Wolves
will always follow such "A trail. The man
was to go to a tree previously pointed out
and climb into the branches, and from
that perch shoot as many wolves
as he liked, for ii was certain
that the wolves, i'm smelling
the drug would make haste to come to
him. The pelt gatherer started oil as
directed, but very much sooner than he
expected he heard the howl of the first
amorous beast on his trail. He was
startled by this, and when a few minutes
later another soulful howl made the air
trcmble he became alarmed. The tree
seemed a terrible way off, and for II he
fled for dear life, with the wolves in hot
with fear, he reached the tree and up he
went. In his excitement he left his rifle
ON the ground. A few minutes later n
half dozen wolves were snarling and yap-
ping Dcneatn anu Dittlng NJ tle Dark OF the
tree i'm the most ferocious manner.
The tenderfoot, being safe, recovered
his composure after a little, but the wolves
continued to snarl and fight under the
tree. Then the man, To pass away the
time until Mumford should come to his
rescue, took n mouth organ from his
pocket and began to play "Home, Swee
Home" As the strains tioated out on the
air the wolves stopped fighting. A look
Of establishment came over each VOLTS
face. They swayed and stepped from
side to side and then down
they cquatted on their launches,
up went their noses and with
one accord they opened their
mouths and howled as never before. No
sooner did they get through with the first
how that they caught their breath and
started In again. Ii was AT this juncturc
that Mumford arrived. The sight of n row
of wolves sitting up as an audience Ia
such a concert and %encoring the star per-
former in such accents was too much for
Mumford and he rolled on the ground
and laughed and shouted aloud. There
upon the wolves clappcd their tails be-
tween their legs and sneakcd away
through the brush, and the hunt was over
for that day.
