but that people had been sent to a
neighboring town for it. and the salute

of fixed determination to sit in his
quarters with no companions save some
thing made of earthenWare and a much
smaller object made of glass; When the
major was eccentric nobody dared go
near him save Aaron, his negro cook,
for the major had a cowboy habit of
shooting his gun around the feet and
head of an intruder, and the major was
no respecter Of rank-that is, when he
was eccentric. One day there reported
at Fort Dodge "to join" young fell
low from West Point. He had been as
signed to Maj. Browns troop The
STRIPPING lieutenant reported as in duty
bound, to the commanding officer of the
post, and then started, as equally in duty
bound, to report to his troop commander
Maj. Brown. The commanding officer
did not dare to tell the young fellow that
the major was that day eccentric, but
he did tell him that there was no i'm
perat1ve necessity of reporting to his
troop commander then, and he might
put it off for day or two. The lieuten-
ant, however, had not been toeing his
mark for four years for nothing. He
had read his orders Alright and off he
started for Maj. Browns quarters. He
was in civilian clothes, and in his hand

Here is another story of Maj. Brown:
Maj. Brown and his outfit were scouting
along the Republican river. With the
major was Col. J. v. S. Paddock, now
a retired officer living in Chicago, but
then lieutenant of cavalry. The Indians
would sneak up on the command and take
an occasional pot shot.
One evening camp had been pitched and
Maj. Brown and Lieut.. Paddock were on

which reposed the savory evening meal.
