THE WORK OF A FRIENr
Story Of True Friendship Taken From
Real Life.
How An Klamath County Boy Was
Assisted by a Little
Modoc.
Paul DeI.acy in Lake County Rustler.

Paul DeLacy In Lake County Rustler.
Frank Swingle is now one Of the most
prosperous stockmen Of klamath county.
When the Modoc Indian war broke out
he was very small boy, but he was
large enough to possess pony, and ride
him and take care Of him, just az the
ranchers' boys o.. Oregon are today.
Franks father was an old pioneer
crossed the plains with wagon train TO
get this 70 country, and figured in every
Indian fight that occurred after he ar
rived. He knew every foot of the
deserts Of Oregon and every trail and
path that lead through the mountains
and lava beds Of the Klamath country.
When the Modoc war began he was
among the first to shoulder his rifle and
mount his horse and lead company of
irontiersmen against the Indians.
The boy, Frank, was left 10 guard the
family and look after the place in his
fathers absence.
The available horses had all been
mustered into service, and there was
only one left at the Swingle place, and
this was Franks pony. The Indians
were short on ponies and Frank watched
his with jealous care. He kept his eye
on II during the day and lariated It ont
in some secluded spot after dark.
One dark night he led his pony cau-
tiously along the channel Of dry ditch
until he come 10 fine patch Of grass on
its banks and emerged from the ditch
and drove down the stake with muf-
filed AK. Leaving his pony tied securely,
he returned to the house the same way
that he had approached, feeling that
the secluded trail he had selected and
the tall grass in which his pony was
tethered, would prevent its discovery
for one more night at least.
But the people Of this country do not
need TO be told about the keen eyes
possessed by the Modoc Indians in those
days. Besides, previous TO the war,
they had been on neighborly terms with
the whites and knew every foot Of
ground surrounding every ranch.
As Frank opened the door to enter the
house, aud the light fiared on him from
the inside, a rifle was leveled and a care
ful bead drawn upon the center OF his
back, from dark covert, and a malic.
ious eye CLEANED down the barrel OF the
gun and trecherous finger touched the
trigger.
While the warm welcome of the anx-
ious mother greeted TIE return OF her
boy from the bright ligh inside, the
dark, creeping enemy outside would
have wantonly taken his life.
But quick as flash, another dark OBJ

When war was ended and all was

He promised TO get up another pony
and break it for Frank but none would

still insisted that he ought to kill one
Indian any way, but hisiather explained
that the war was over and they had
no right to kill any more Indians.
Frank decided TO give the first Indian
that came around 'piece OF his mind"
any way. But they were sullen at first
and none came around for long time.
But he was patient and waited.
Finally, he saw one coming on horse
back across the plain, through the tall
grass, and he braced himself up to give
the tongue-lashing. As the Indian ap-
preached he saw that he was only q boy.
Instead oiquarrelng with him, he de-

ject jumped from another cover and
wrung the rife from the vicious savage s
hands.
Frank knew nothing Of this until
after the war was over and peace had
been established, but learned something
early next morning, that effected him a
great deal more. He went whistling
down the path to get his pony and take
a morning ride after the calves, but
when he arrived at the place nc found
the stake and a short piece OF rope at
tached TO it, but no pony.
This was strange! The pony was per
iectly gentle and had never attempted
TO break a rope before. But, upon a
little inspection he found that the lariat
had been cut with knife itall dawned
upon him in a minute, The Indians
had stolen his pet.
During the rest Of the war, boy rs he
was, Franks mother could hardly re-
strain him from joining his father. Be-
fore that time he had had no grudge
against the Indians, but now he charged
the loss OF his animal to the whole In
dian race, and would have felt justified
in killing them all, had he the power
But he had nothing TO ride and was
compelled TO remain at home.
