Los Angeles herald., 1908-06-28

Canadian border on July %, 1921. AS soon as he
reached the age of discretion Tin his this
ID, he remedied the mistake of nature by run
ming away from home. He made his way across
the Great Lakes to Chicago, then little frontier
settlement. There he fell in with party of
Indians their way to attend peace powwow
with government officials at st. Louis and accom-
panied them to that city In St Louis, he had an
uncle, with whom he stayed for short time.
Learning that his uncle was making arrangements
to send him back to his parents in Canada, he
again ran away, working his way up the Missouri
river in packet and embarking upon life of
adventure in the then untamed and unterrihed
West. He fell in with Kit Carson, and for a time
followed the fortunes of that greatest and most
famous of all Southwestern scouts. Then he
joined the army, and served through the war
with Mexico. After that brief but exciting cpl
sode he remained with Uucle Sans troops in the
capacity of scout and guide until the beginning OF
the Civil War, when he enlisted with the Seven
teenth Iowa cavalry. After the close or the war,
he returned to his old vocation of scouting re-
naming in the service of the Government until
the tanning of the red men and the building OF the
railroads forever ended his adventurous trade
Then he donned the uniform of the Denver police
serving as roundsman, sergeant and special officer
at the Denver pOstOfice until peanut politics de-
manded that he be sacrificed SO that his position
might be given to hungry place-seeker as re-
ward for political services. When the taxpayers
of Denver learned that Virgins had been sacri
feed, such howl of wrath went forth that new
place was found for him in a hurry. Two years
ago he was made bailiff at the court house, and
will doubtless continue a public servant in that
capacity as long as his advanced age and increas-
ing infirmities will permit.
To drive for thousand miles across the plains
and mountains of New Mexico, Colorado and Okla
homa would be considered, in this efeminate age,
something of an undertaking for man in his
prime For an octogenarian to attempt it would
be considered suicidal. Yet this Is the selfim-
posed task completed about year ago by Modem
Bledsoe. That he met with success is DUE per-
