children in the company who know
nothing of the things in that far on
twenty years ago." and there were
others who have lived long enough to
form the missing link between them
and the older ones who KILLED the
snakes" in this territory. One OF the
latter was on board in the person OF
j. d. Wood, pioneer, stockman, mil

early and might stay late, and some

Mr.. Wood turned half around in his

"This was in rs, the summer that
the Bannocks got unruly at Pendle-
ton and came east, 1t was the year
after the trouble at Birch creek. There
had been some strikes made at Bay
horse, and Shoup was getting inter
ested in the trade up there. He was
having some goods come in from Co
rhine via Dailson Springs and Big

in Joe Skeletons wagons. We knew

where the town of Mackay is now.
They were camped for noon, and we
talked with Joe about the matter but
he said he didn't think there was any
danger After we had all had dinner
they hitched up and pulled on up the
valley above the Narrows, and when
we came to a good camping place
where there was chance to form the
wagons into circle, we told Joe we
thought it was best to camp there for
the night. 1t was a little early to
camp and Joe wanted to go on, though
he said he didn't want to do it if it
was going to endanger Col Shoup's
goods. We advised stopping there so
he did.
Along in the evening after we had
put the stock out bunch Of Indians
showed up along the river above the
camp, and the herder brought the
stock back to camp. The Indians
galloped across the fiat shooting and
yelling but went up over the bench
out of range. As it grew dusk they
slipped around to the edge of the
bench and crawled down through the
sage brush to point overlooking the
camp and began to fire on us from
close range. We couldn't see anything
but a puff of smoke here and there
so we. shot at the smoke. Eacn of us
was behind little barricade made by
piling up sacks OF -four. Jesse Mecca
| leb was lying behind an oxbow and
was shot in the head.
He died in few hours and we
buried him there. During the even
ing they gathered in the brush near
the camp and discussed the different
ways Of getting at us, and Joe Rainey,
an Indian who was with us under

leader who was an ambitious fell
low, who wanted to rush right on us,
but others objected to that plan. Once
in awhile they would string out and
fire on us for awhile and at one time
they came up so close in the moon
light we got some good shots at them
but we could not tell whether we hit
any of them or not. There Is an in
slant Just after you fire a gun in the
dark that you can't see the mark you
shot at, and we just did the best we
could and succeeded in holding them
off. The next day they tried shooting
from behind the sage bushes again
and we returned their fire, shooting
at the smoke. The leader tried again
to get them to rush in on us, and made
speech in which he told them that
he could make medicine with the spir-
it's so they should not be hit by our
bullets. In proof of this he offered
to ride out past our camp and let
us shoot at him. They wanted to
see him try 1t and SO did we. Every
one of us prepared to get good shot
at him as he passed and l certainly
had as good show as could ask for
but I missed him. l shot again to
try to down his pony and I never
touched him. All the others had the
same kind of luck, and we felt dunn
