When old Jake Harper left Missouri
by the overland uail to make home
on the Kansas frontier, taking along
his wife and two children. he knew
the risks he ran. He was known as
determined obstinate man, and one
without fear. Perhaps if he had never
been drawn into argument over the
matter he would not have made
move, but when his nelghbors heard
that he was thinking Of change, and
one after another sought to dissuade
him, he sold his farm in Missouri and
Joined an emigrant train.
1t was clear case OF pigheaded-
ness, his going at ALL and his taking up
a claim right In the midst of the In
dian country was nothing short of
criminal reekIessness. The frontier
was dangerous enough, but he was
miles beyond It. 1t wasn't fortnight
before a war party Of Indians appear
ed and attacked. 1t is a matter Of rec
ord that the old man and his wife
killed six warriors. The children had
been killed at the first fire. When the
wife received a bullet the husband
managed TO break through the band
and mount a horse and escape, though
he was twice wounded
AS soon as his wounds were healed
he set out to reap vengeance. He wan
dered over plain and prairie, he hid
among the hills he padded up and
down the rivers. he moved mostly
by night, and not week went past
that he did not tally at least one, He
killed Wounded Bird Little Buffalo
and Red sun three prominent chiefs.
In one year he killed thirty four Sioux
warriors. He waylald them By day
and crept into their villages at night,
and Gray Eagle offered twenty ponies
for his capture dead or alive. Ia a
way he was a great protection TO the
frontier. 1T a raid was contemplated
and it was discovered that The shad-
ow, as the red men called him, was
aware of II the affair was abandoned.
Old Harpers deeds of boldness We're
counted by tho score, but perhaps the
boidest was entering village on the
Republican river one night during q

men and two squaws. When the alarm

felt that things were going TOO slow.
He had also figured IT out that he had
llttle to live for, and he determined
on a grand coup He had trapped for
furs while wreaklng vengeance, aud
one day he appeared at a frontier town
with about $3.50 worth Of choice skins.
He also had a pony loaded down with
plumber taken from the Indians All
his goods were taken oil for powder in
kegs and a two horse outfit. There were
over 200 pounds Of the powder Before
driving away Harper stated to a friend
that he was going to Kill a hundred IN
dams at once, but did not give par-
tieulars. He joined a body OF emf
grants and continued with them until
well into the Indian country and then
cut loose He left the party ait night
and drove off at right angles to the
trail, and no one but the Indians ever
saw him again.
A Sioux chief named White Bird was
abroad with a war party numbering
200 bucks They had heard Of tile emil
grant party and were going to take
the trail ahead Of them when they
came upon old Harper. His wagon
stood in grove Of eottonwoods. and
his horses were grazing He had dug
a rife pit under the wagon, and as
soon as the Indians came within range
he opened fire on them At that time
but few red men had rifles. The old
man not only stood the party of for
two hours, but killed four and wounded
six Then they rushed him. which was
JUST what he planned for At a given
signal the party dashed forward on
their ponies, and In two minutes the
old man was dead Every one gather
cd close In to see what plumber the
wagon contained, and they were tear
ing the cover off when q tremendous
explosion Occurred. According 10 the
Indians it shook the earth for nlles
around. OF the war party sixty were
killed outright. ten crippled for life and
thirty burned and otherwise injured.
Over seventy ponies were also killed
It was the heaviest blow ever suffer
ed by the Sioux tribe, and it resulted
ia a treaty with them that was obsery-
ed on their side for the next Eve years
with the utmost fidelity. The body Of
the Old man disappeared IN tile explo-
sion, and the Indians figured Ii cut that
his medicine" had preserved him to
take still further revenge. 1T was years
before they would give up that lie was
dead. Up to the time of Clusters death
there were still among the followers of
Sitting Bull about twenty warriors
who were present at the explosion, and
several of them were blind Of ain eye
Or had suffered i'll their limbs. Sitting
Bull himself was not there, but tie was
carrying a piece of wood from the
shattered wagon as a charm against
any further tragedies Of the sort. He
lost this Iii his battle with Custer, and
from that time ON he was plunged tn
despair and predicted that his end
would soon come His second Chief,
