JOHN B. JORDAN.

John Bunyan Jordan. son of Juletta Ashby and Claude D.. son of lieu tenant Jordan of Iowa, was born No vember 17th, 1889. in the Cherokee Ma ton in Indian Territory.
 He was well known and much loved among them. being closely related to the family of two famous chiefs. Lou is Ross Nash, nephew of Chief John Ross, forty years chief of the Chero- kees, married Miss Emma Beck, a teacher of music and literature among them. and a niece of his mother and Mir. Ira Beck. Albert Armstrong, the eldest grandson. and heir as he had no son. of the noted Baptist minister for thirty years chief of the Delawares, married Miss Anna Jordan. his fathers only sister. It would be impossible to write even a brief sketch of him with out also bringing in the life of his de- voted mother. whose very existence centeTed around him.
 Tossing with fever in her weakened deliriOus state, she murmured Let God take me" She threw out her left hand and soon felt tightening grasp of her fore finger; 1t grew tighter and tighter, until she became conscious tha: it was the light hand of her three weeks-old baby boy tte nurse had laid beside her. She turned her head and gazed into his large brown eyes and new life an courage came to her.
 She lived for her child and every am- bition was submerged if it interfered with the personal attention of her boy.
 He was always wonderfully strong. At the age of two. while she prepared a news article. she let her baby play in the yard full of evergreens and tall poplar trees. in care of two little cous- ins. A smOthered cry which came from far above the little girls playing with their dolls. and one of them ran with blanched face to the mother, and put ting her hand over her aunt's moyth. said; Do not speak or move. Bunny is on the top of the tallest poplar and he will fall if he sees you" The little girls put table, then boxes and then a chair. while one sat on the chair the brsver one climbed the back and reach ed a slender limb. and mounted it. Bu: he was still fifteen feet above her and there was a space of seven or eight feet without a limb. A promise to take ride on Charley induced him to look upward and start to clumb down. until he reached the slide. Then came an
Arizona republican., 1907-02-03

other scared cry: Lock your feet and arms around. and slide down; that's a little man." came the cheering words from the brave little rescuers below and he made the slide into the arms of the nearest one and gave a triumphant laugh that sounded like a blast from the trumpet of the angel Gabriel to his speechelss mother hidden behind a clump of roses. He ran to her with out stretched arms, and said: Mamma, take me flight into Egypt like Mary did little Jesus
 At six. he was out horseback riding with his mother when they stopped to pick black haws which grew above their heads. Her horse became fright ened. plunged into the thicket and caught her foot tightly between two limbs; her riding habit caught on the horn of the side saddle from which she was thrown. He leaped from his sad dle to hers and lifted almost her entire weight and freed her from the horse. Then he pressed the limbs apart and freed her foot; although he tried again. and again. it was two years before he had strength to press those same limbs apart. His mother could never do it.
 He enjoyed the friendship of many distinguished persons. At the enter tainment of the National Press Asso- citation at the 'lOI' ranch, two years ago. he probably was acquainted with more If the members of the press than any other young person in private life in all that vast audience. His mother was for years territorial press and lit erature superintendent of Indian Ter ritory. for w. C. T. '.
 He and his mother were the guests Of the Associated Press at St. Paul in 1887. where she represented the five civilized tribes at the Farmers Nation al Congress. They were given a pass and were on the great Mothers Ex- cursion' to near the Canadian borders. Again she was appointed by Govern or Barnes to represent Oklahoma at Colorado Springs, and she has visions of her boy in the Garden of the Gods up South Cheyenne and other places of interest. When the Indian Territory welcomed Troop l. of the Rough Riders afted the Cuban war Lieutenant Day. then captain. after the fall of the brave Capron. who was the hero of the hour. suddenly broke from his companions and hurriedly walked to where a tired team stood after a drive from a ranch to greet a little boy. his friend. the little boy who afterward gave the first dollar he ever earned. a keepsake. to the Rough Rider monument for fallen heroes.
