he remembered to have seen George
Washington but once in his life, that
being when he accompanied his master
to Mount Vernon one time when he
was about twelve years of age, but he
did not often recall the fact, because
1T made but slight impression on him.
In many respects he was one of the
remarkable men of this continent.
Though over a century and quarter
years of age, his mental faculties were
unimpaired up to about three months
before his death. Scarcely less remark
able was his retentive memory. He
had always been a keen observer of
passing events and his mind was stor-
ed with an ineXhauStible supply of in
teresting incidents and "reminiscences
of bygone days. These a few months
ago were written out from the old
mans dictation by Prof. j. C. Webster,
of Knoxville, and published in a neat
volume entitled 1.-THE Last Pioneer:
Old Times in East Tennessee"
Up to the time of his death Uncle,
Ferry" as he was known for miles
around, was accustomed to visit the
son of his old master twice each week,
walking a distance of three miles and
back without the least fatigue. He al
ways walked with cane. Living lone
on two-acre tract of land he made
the soil yield him living. With the
coming of each spring he cultivated

NEGRO DIES AT
THE AGE OF 1926
Hermit of East Tennessee Who Was
Born on the First independence
Day.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 24.-Fer-
ry Chesney, the Oldest resident of Ten
nessee and probably in the United
States, is dead. His age was that of
the nation, as he was born on July G.,
1875, when the Declaration of indie
pendence was signed in the old Liberty
hall in Philadelphia. His shanty on
the summit of Copper ridge, near
Maynardsville, Tenn, is vacant
The first sixty or more years of his
life were spent with his original mas
ter. Col. Jonathan Jackson, at Clarks-
Vile, on the Roanoke and Dan rivers,
in Virginia. He was brought to East
Tennessee about the year 1888 and
three years later was sold by Corbin
Jackson, administrator of his fathers
estate, to John Chesney, one of the
Oldest settlers on Bull Run creek,
Union county. He remained the faith
ful, trusted slave of his master until
the emancipation proclamation made
him a free man.
He then built himself a cabin of the
most primitive description on the sum-
init Of Copper ridge, five miles south
east of Maynardsville, on the divid-
ing line between Knox and Union coun-
ties, where he resided alone and I'M

he arranged his horses in a circle with
himself in the center and told the In
d1anS not to come nearer unless thew
all wanted to die. There were the same
eleven Indians in the party. Knowing
that Billy was armed, they tried to
parley: They offered to let him keep
half Of the horses if he would give the
other half back. Then they wanted
one horse; finally they said that they
would go away If Billy would only give
them half dozen gun caps

shouted that they were going to get a
larger party and surround him and re-
cover their horses. No sSsaner were
they out of sight than Billy mounted

last as horsef1esh could carry him. The
chief Of the party was degraded by
the tribe to which he belonged and
compelled to have his hair cut off close

made to work with the sQuaws
He did not feel any bitterness tow

to secure suitable accommodations and

STATE AGENT FULLERTON DE-
cLARES JUDGE SIMPSON CON-
FESSED 1T
MICHELET INVITES HIS
FRIENDS TO HUNT GAME
State Official Says Indian Agent Was
Warned Not to Hunt in the Closed
Season, but Persisted-He May Go
After the Indian Agent.

II may drop the cases against Judges
Simpson and Steele and go after In
dian Agent Michelet, who seems to be
under the impression that he is not
amenable to the law" said Executive
Agent Fullerton yesterday, and despite
the rather carefully worded explana-
ton of Judge j. H. Steele, of Mime
apOlis regarding the alleged violation
of the game law by Judge Simpson and
himself on the White Earth reserva-
ton, Fullerton still asserts that the
two gentlemen are guilty of the charge
he made against them.
Whether Judge Simpson and ex-
Judge Steele will be arrested and
brought before the court at Detroit,
charged with a violation of the game
law, Mr.. Fullerton is not so certain.
Judges Had the Chickens.
"The facts are" said Mr.. Fullerton
Simpson and Judge Steele were on the
Indian reservation. They may not
have shot the chickens, but the birds
were in their possession and in the
buggy in which they were riding.
The evidence submitted to me is that
they not only had the birds in their
possession, but also ate them. The
law provides a penalty for persons
having prairie chickens in their pos
session before the season opens. 1t
makes no difference what the papers
say, 1 know from a personal conversa-
ton with Judge Simpson that there
was a violation of the law.
Says Simpson Confessed.
Judge Simpson informed me he was
willing to take his medicine if he was
guilty, but he was certain that there
had been. no infraction of the law on
his part"
Both the Minneapolis men were I'M
der the impression that Indian Agent
Michelet had full jurisdiction on the
reservation, and 1 have sympathy for
them, as they were invited by him to
make themselves at home.
'Michelet is really the man who
should be punished. l asked him sew
eral months ago about the violations
of the game law last year on the res
ervation with his knowledge and con-
sent, and requested his cooperation
with me in preventing white men from
shooting chickens this year before
Sept. l.
Michelet Holds Battues.
HE paid no attention to my request,
but instead invited score of people to
visit the reservation, and allowed them
to shoot chickens and ducks.
'Supt. Randall and DR.. Hoyt did
shoot chickens, and while Judge Simp-
son and Judge Steele may not have
killed any birds. they had them with
them and ate them, which brings them
under the charge Of violating the game
law.
Il am going to Detroit tonight to
thoroughly investigate the cases. If
[ find the evidence is as it is related
to me by the deputy warden, l may
drop the cases against Judge Simpson,
Mr.. Steele, Supt. Randall and DR.. Hoyt
and go after Indian Agent Michelet.'

indians were very friendly and gave
him good supper.
After the meal was over he talked
with them and found that they were
CLOVIS and that they had just made
rald on some P1egans and captured
small band of horses. Billy explained
them that he was after horses and
ne intended to take the first ones that
ne round. as he needed them and. in
fact, had to have them. When it came
bedtime Billy tried to make his bed at
some distance from the Indians, but
the ch1ef OF the party would not allow
him to, as he did not trust the white
man. There were eleven Indians in the
party. and five slept on the right and
nVe on the left of their guest. The elev-
enth man was detailed to watch the fire
and keep 1t burning all night. and. of
course, keep his eye open for ANYTHING
that might turn up. Two of the best
horses were tied in sight of the fire and
the others We're in rope enclosure
near the camp.
Billy took in the situation as hest he
could and laid down as if to sleep for
the night. He waited about an hour
and then rising quietly found all of
them asleep. The sentry, however, was
only doing, and almost before BiIlt
had risen to his knees he asked him
what he wanted. Billy told him that
he was sick and groaned and feigned
a powerful illness, finally pretending to
be asleep again. He tried this three
more times, until finally at o'clock he
got boldly up and went to the fire and
kicked it out. He told the sentry not
TO light 1T again, as he could not sleep
with the fire burning SO brightly. The
indian obeyed, and SO when Billy tried
TO slip away again all the Indians were
asleep, including the sentry, and ev-
erything was dark.
He first united the two horses at the
camp. and, saddhng one, he turned
the others out and started away with
them. The river was frozen, but the
ice was very smooth and he had q
great deal of trouble getting some of
the animals across, having to almost
drag some of them over by their tails.
he got safe lead on the Indians and
was more than twenty miles away
when they overlook him with horses

BILLY ROWE5S EXPLOIT.
AIoNE AND oNAlDED HE TOOK TWENTY "FRoM
UNDER THE NOSES" INDIANS.

Indians used to call Billy Rowe
Black Beard" because he had long
whiskers which reached to his waist
and these he kept braided and the ends
tied with red flannel strings which
were torn from the neither extremity
of his red flannel shirt, says the Ana
conda, Mont, Standard
He was out hunting on the Milk riv-
er near where HaVre now stands in the
winter of 1S6S-69, with Charley Rowe.
Dick FerneH and two others. The par
ty had fine lot of horses which the
Indians had run off and left the own
ers afoot. Billy promised himself then
and there that he would steal the
horses from the next war party that
he met or die in the attempt. He did
not want another mans property. but
the Indians had taken his good horses
and he decided to take either the ones
ne lost or others equally as good if he
could lind them. And all Indians looked
alike to him.
II was very cold day in December.
ana as the hunters scould not follow
the buffalo on foot, they were without
meat. Billy took his rifle and started
out early in the morning. He walked
through the snow for nine miles. He
succeeded in killing buffalo cow. He
stripped as much meat from her as he
could carry and started back for canp.
1t was almost nightfall when he came
IN slght OF the cabin, and as he APP
proached he saw on a distant hill what
he thought was another herd OF buff
1alo. He hurried as fast as he could
10 get another shot before dark. and
drawing near, he discovered that It was
a war party of Indians with about a
dozen loose horses. The party passed
down by the cabin and disappeared in
the falling night.
Billy asked the men in the cabin if
they had not seen the party pass. They
said that they had and that they did
not care to attack, as there were too
many Indians in the party Billy was
angry at what he thought was coward

started on foot after the savages. He
soon found that they had made a camp
about three miles down the creek. Co
ing boldly up to the fire he asked for
something to eat. He had his own and

his little garden plot and worked each
day until the food which was to main
tain him during the approaching win
ter had been harvested.
Everything was always in it's place
in his cabin and at the end of each
day, after he had cooked and eaten
his frugal meal, he would seat himself
in an old-fashioned chair in front of
his cabin and silently smoke his pipe.
While he lived alone from choice, it
was not because he was unsociable,
always greeting any and all visitors
he might receive cordially.
His only son living is ninety years
OLD and he has several grandchildren
past sixty and several great great
grandchildren, up to the time of his
death there being five generations of
his blood living. He was the seer and
prophet of his neighborhood and great
weight was attached to his opinions
and prophecies by both white and COL
ored. He bore the greatest love for
the descendants of his old master and
this was reciprocated.
With his passing there ends a life
which witnessed the unrolling of three
centuries and whose death brings to
close the life of the last man who
witnessed the scenes of the RevoIu-
ton.
