CHARLIE GATES'S FIGHT.
The Mighty Deeds of an 0ldtime Injun
Fighter.
Salt Lake Herald.

Salt Lake Herald.
Charles Gates is an d-time Indian
fighter He used to reckon his dead Indians
by the cord He has fought more Indian
battles than any man on earth or under it.
He has just returned from a trip to the
NORTH and said:
1.-The most interesting part of it was that
1 went back to the place where Bill Hanks
and stood off 5000 Indians for three
days one time back in the late CO.'S There
We're seventeen of us at first, but only
three of us lived to tell the tale. The spot
is some thirty-five miles from BlacI<fOot,
Idaho, where the roads fork. The In
dams sailed into afternoon, and
made things lively, tell you. We dragged
the wagons together in circle, killing all
the horses, and strung them around for
breastworks, and bade the painted fisnds
come on, and they Why, it fairly
rained Indians. We kept shooting, and so
did they, until night came on, when we
discovered that Bill Hanks. myself and
Jim Defoe all that were left of us
We knew that we could not hold out, SO we
drew lots to who would go out for help,
and Defoe and crawled out. He told
us when he got back that he crawled nine
miles through the darkness before he dared
rise up"
why did he crawl so far?' asked Dan
Nickum, who listener.
Because he didn't get through the In
dams for nine miles, answered Ga ties,
with dignity. 'There were more Indians
there at that time than were ever ga hered
together at one time before since Wen,
sir, for three days me and BIZ sat there
in that circle and moved down Ind ns-
When the soldiers did come we were
mighty glad, tell you. After the fight
they counted and found tina me
and BIZ had killed exactly 1900 of the

ooh, that's dead easy. OF course, you
don't have to know, and so longs the IN
dams are not likely to trouble us again
there's no use in telling you now, for the
information would not do you any good.
But a man that is used to killing Indians
can tell corpse any time and just how
long it has been dead. Even If that wesn'e
the case we had another method, for ue
never shot an Indian except right through
the head Didn't want to spoil the hide"
What on earth would you do with an
Indians hide?" asked Nickum.
"Cut EN- into slices and make razor
straps out of them; that's what we always
did with Indian hides. We used to ship
bales of Indians hides to Europe every
year. That's where I got my start"
THAT must have been as hard a fight as
you ever had wasn't it?"
Yes, sir, all but one. Was in a harder
fight than that down in Arizona one time.
Lost more men. The Indians came on US
by surprise, and killed every durn one of
us. Not one escaped to tell the tale.'s
