Jim Slickpoo occupied cell in the
city Jail during few days last week g.
jim has been a bad Indian for a good
many years, every time the spell came
on. He is possessed of shrewdness and
courage in an eminent degree; but the
passion for drink very often takes all
the honor out of him. He has often
caused disturbances that required the
of the Indian courts at Laps
wal as we'll as in his contact with the
whites. AS early as 1882 Jim was
addicted to drink, and one day while
with the alcoholic desire, sold
to Frank Wyatt the cattle king of Colo.
RADIO and Idaho, fine horse, for a
small sum. The red-man was seized
with remorse at the loss of his saddle
h orse. and after some hours of waiting
he sought an opportunity to carress the
noble animal once more. The horse
placed his head upon Jim's shoulder
with a neigh OF recognition. This was
700 much for the former master to re-
sist. He slipped the whiteman'
halter from the slender
neck and sprang upon the back of the
fiery horse and urged him forward to-
ward the reservation. Mr.. Wyatt fol-
lowed upon a thoroughbred. After a
run of ten miles, the white man came
up to the desperate Indian who was
urging to his utmost the unreined
steed. AS Jim Slickpoo leaned forward
in his last desperate effort, Mr.. Wyatt
loosed his rope from his saddle bow,
twirled it with cowboy skill and drop
ped it over Jim's bare neck: halt,
and the big Indian was jerked high
into the air and he fell heavily upon
the hard road. There the Indian lay
lifeless. He was reported to be dead,
but nobody sought to confirm the ru-
NOR. Upon Jim's next appearance in
Lewiston he seemed to have forgotten
the love tor the lost horse, but the love
for whisky remains to this day. The
red mark of Frank Wyatt's rope is still
seen on .!im's neck.
