their horses. or Indian ponies, are
usually fresher than ours, and they
get away. unless we can corner them.
Then they fight as men of their caliber
always fight-desperately like wild
beasts.
Formerly, when we did capture
some of them, their Organization would
hire lawyers to defend them in the
civil courts, and they usually got off
for lack of evidence. This became so
much the regular thing that we got
discouraged. But one day the word
was passed down that instead of hold
ing future captives we should turn
them over at the nearest Mexican post.
Mexican law is best for cattle thieves.
mot long after this got information
of band that would cross the river
that night at certain ford, and got
my men ready. After dark we rode
down to the ford and laid low. At
about II we saw the raiders, fifty
strong, crossing the shadows. We gave
them time to cross, then dashed down
along the bank, cutting off their re-
treat to Mexican territory and the
mountains. 1t was a stiff scrap, but we
outnumbered the raiders, and they
scattered, leaving twenty dead. Next
day we captured ten more, but the rest
got away.
Remembering orders, I didn't turn
those ten men over to our authorities.
Instead, 1 camped my men out till
night, and then we crossed over into
Mexico and made for the nearest Mexi-
can post, small place called Argen-
tina, not far from Ciudad Juarez, but
far enough to prevent interference from
the civil authorities. At in the morn
ing We reached the post, and the COM
mandante came out in his pajamas to
receive us.

asked.
Afterwards he said laconically.
I lined my men up with the Next
can garrison, in the plaza. Then ten
prisoners, most of them half-breed In
dams and Mexicans, were lined up
against an adobe wall, and must say
they died like men. Some were only
wounded, but the rurales showed their
bayontes into them, and ended their
troubles quickly. That band of cattle
thieves never bothered the ranchers on
our side again.
"a few weeks later we ran into an
other band, but they got away, all ex-
cept five of them, whom we cut off
from the river. Those five retreated
to small village, cleared out all the
inhabitants, took possession of the
adobe council hall and prepared to

heard of the previous scrap, we knew
that they realized they would be given
no quarter, so we expected them to
fight until the last. Excited by the
skirmish, my men, numbering fifty,
The Savannah morning news., 1903-11-08

All knew that my father had been
killed, and that l was no better than
slave, but, instead of feeling pity for
me, they tried in every way to make
my condition worse. When l went for
water they lay in wait and tripped me
up, and if l was carrying a load of
wood some of them would push me in
the back or grab one of my feet and
tumble me over. They also threw clubs
and stones at me, and many of them
threatened me with their knives and
tomahawks. 1 told you in one of the
chapters that l was tall and strong for
my age. l had temper, too, when
any one abused me, and after being
with the Indians for a week, and meet
ing with insults a dozen time a day,
1 determined to show fight.
One day about noon 1 was going to
the creek for water when an Indian
boy about my size caught me by the
ear and gave sharp pull. I dropped
the gourd in which 1 had the watbr
and seized him and had him on his
back in three seconds. A number of
other boys and squawS came running,
together with several warriors, and
from their gestures 1 understood that
they wanted to see a fight between us
two boys. We were both ready enough.
When we were pushed toward each
other he tried to seize me around the
waist and fling me down, but 1 gave
him such a blow on the nose that he
rolled on his back and got up to run
away. Then they sent another boy
against me, and l gave him a blow on
the mouth, and the third boy got my
fist in his eye. No others dared to
tackle me, although the squaws and
warriors encouraged and shamed them
and were very much chagrined over
my three victories. The boys would
not fight, but wanted to wrestle, and
downed four of them one after an
other as fast as they could come. Then
one of the warriors had something to
say to them. 1 could not understand
the words, but, as near as 1 could
make out, he advised them to let me
alone in future. At any rate, from
that tine or they did not NEEDLE with
me any more, and three or four of
them became quite good friends, and
were always ready to tell me the In
dian name Of anything I pointed out.

dozen times day. Betty lived at one
end of the village and / at the other,
and it was four or five days after our
capture before we met and had a
chance to talk for a few minutes.
When she told me that she was being
cruelty treated I was so angry that /
wanted to go at once and do some
thing to avenge her, but she was
wiser than I, and, though she had tears
in her eyes, she said:
mo, Sam, you can do nothing. Were
you to strike the squaw the Indians
might perhaps kill you. We must both
have patience and think of escape.
After we have been with them for a
few weeks they will not watch us so
closely, and perhaps we can get a
couple of their ponies some night and
ride away"
When we were captured, of course,
the dog Lion was captured, too. He
was a splendid big dog of the New
Foundland breed, and he was twice as
big as any of the Indian dogs He
growled and showed his teeth at the
savages, and all were afraid of him,
and for this reason they determined to
kill him. Before he was put to DEATH
however. they planned to have some
sport. 1t was what they called sport,
but any white person would call it
cruelty. They tied Lion to a stake by
rope about thirty feet long, and
then they encouraged ten of their big
gest dogs to attack him at once. I
was looking on and saw what happen
ed. Never did the old dog fight so we'll.
Out of the ten dogs he killed three and
bit five others so badly that they
sneaked off and would not face him
again. Then they let the Indian boys
practice throwing tomahawks at him,
and, after he had lodged about and
escaped them for half an hour, one of
them threw a tomahawk that laid his
head open, and the brave old animal
was soon lying dead on the grass.
There were about twenty Indian
boys of my age and size in the village.

galloped up to within range of the
raiders guns, and before I could get
them off to a safe distance, five
dropped out of their saddles. Finally
we scattered about among the houses
and kept up a steady fire. Afterwards,
when we examined the adobe walls of
the council hail. we found that hardly
asbrick in it did not contain bullet.
AT last we circled about the house
on our horses, and in that way dropped
three of the desperadoes. Just before
dawn the other two made a break to
get away but we saw them. We tried
to get them to surrender, but they
fought on until my men killed them
both.

Mr. Bannister was not to blame
because a regular ceremony was not
performed and he was working in en-

the matter. The people during the

The fire was in barn on the alley
in the rear of the old Water company s
office. The barn was used by Garri-

the Miller family for several years for
stabling their horses when they came
to the city.
How the barn caught fire is un-

caught from a spark from fireworks.
There was considerable hay and straw
in the barn and it took but few
minutes for the flames to get under
headway after starting.

The above is but brief resume of what
Cavalier county is like, and we could go
on and fill a whole newspaper with de-
scriptive matter pertaining to it, but be-
lieYe that what We have said in this d1-
rection is sufficient to convey an idea of
it's resources. although we will follow
with a few extracts from the local news
papers who reported some of the yields
of different farmers from time to time
and which will give you an idea of what
we call an average crop: The following
is taken from the Cavalier, County Re-
publican, published at Langdon:
Report comes from the big farm of
Peter Olson, at Elkwood, of a yield of
wheat that Run, runs as high as so bushels

Talk about getting big results from

er, of Henderson township, can lay ev-
7erybody in the shade with a good mar
gin to spare. Friday he came to town
with load of 81 bushels of flax, which,
together with two sacks left at home,
was the product from three acres of
ground, and he received at one Of the ele-
vators $99. rs for his load. Allowing that
the two sacks left at home We're worth
Sc. the three acres yielded $105.75, or
$35. % per acre.
James Austin came down from Han
nan yesterday, taking advantage of the
wet weather which stopped threshing. He
was very much elated over the yield of
his crops this year. which he had a good
reason for when it is considered that on
one quarter-section he had threShed over
$1,000 worth of grain, besides getting
about 20 tons of hay from it, and that on
piece of land which he had paid only
$1,000 for. His fax went nearly 20 bush
els to the acre"
