nni w..t,. Head.

The remarkable career of old Tom
Starr, the notorious Cherokee desper-
ado, which has lately appeared in
print, recalls an incident in his life,
the plainest statement of which sounds
like a romance. Bill West was old
Toms brother-in-law. and the most
powerful man of his day in the Chero-
kec Nation. A blow from his fist was
as deadly as a Winchester bullet.
With this formidable weapon he killed
several men. and a law was passed de
claring Bills fist a deadly weapon.
Old Tom and Bill had been close COM
panions, but one day they quarrelled
over the division of the spoils of a
plundering expedition. West struck
at Starr. but the willy savage lodged
the blow and at the same time deity
placed a long, keen blade be-
tween the formers ribs. This was the
tragic end of Bill West. At this time
there was reward of 81. 900 offered
for Vests head and So, 900 for that of
Starr. Old Tom was in need of ready
cash and determined to run the risk
of losing his own head by trying to
secure the reward on that of his bro
ther-in-law. So, after killing West.
he cut off his head, put it in gunny-
bag and proceeded to Tahlequah, the
capital, where he presented his gory
charge to the Chief, with the proof
that it was the right head. and de-
manded the reward. The Chief and
the Treasurer are both old men, and
hey knew old Toms reputation. They
also knew that the reward on Vests
head vas only 81, 900, while that for
Old Toms was $4,000 But Starr
was there himself, and meant bust
ness. At the muzzle of a six-shooter
the Treasurer forked over the Sc 900,
and Old Tom departed with the
ment of the people of TahIeuuab.
without killing single person.
