Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1909-02-26

N ~ Y first meeting with General
UWA George A. Custer was when
XVQ was a scout in the de.
partment Of the Missouri,
In the spring Of 1867. At this time
General Clusters regiment, the Sew
enth cavalry, United States army, was
at Fort Larned, on Pawnee Fork, near
the Arkansas river.
One evening the general arrived at
Fort Hays from Fort Harker. He had
with him only two officers and three
orderlies. The general told Captain
Ovenshine, who was In command of
Fort Hays at the time. that he wished
to leave Fort Hays the next morning
at daylight to join his regiment and
wanted a guide who knew the country,
one that would make no mistake, well
mounted. to guide him to Fort Larned.
! Captain Oyenshine sent for me and
told me to be ready sharp at daylight

to go with General Custer and that he
wanted me to have the best mount
there was at the post. At that time
the horses at the fort were pretty well
run down from many chases after In
dams, but / was riding and had at
the time as good a long distance horse
as l have ever known, and he was a
mule. The general himself was riding
a Kentucky thoroughbred.
At daylight l rode up to the com
handing officers quarters, and Cap
tain Ovenshine introduced me for the
first time to General Custer. The gen.
eral, seeing that / was mounted on a
mule, said to Captain Ovenshine:
captain. l haven't got time to dilly
daily along the road with a mule. !
see that my guide here is mounted on
a mule. l want him to have a horse.
and a good one"
l said, General. this is the best
horse at the fort, and l assure you
that he won't be much behind you
when you reach Fort Larned."
The captain explained to the general
that the horses were in pretty bad
conditio- at the fort and that he had
heard me brag so much about that
mule that he felt quite sure that the
beast was all right.
The general seemed a little displeas-
ed and said, "Well, If that is the best
you have / will have to put up with
It,"
We mounted and started out on the
road. For the first fifteen miles to
Smoky Hill river there was a good
wagon road, and as we rode along the
general asked me numerous questions
In regard to the country and the In
dams, and thus we talked along mile
after mile. But the general was going
at a pretty rapid gait, and my mule
was not very speedy on the start, but
/ knew he would finish all right. So
when the general was not looking /
would put the spurs to the mule a lit
tie to wake him up. However, ] kept
alongside of the general until ! got to
Smoky Hill river. l noticed that the
old mule was not painting much, but
the horses were.
i told the general that this would be
the last water for forty-five miles I'M
til we got near Larned; that 1t would
be best to water the horses there, and
II the men required any water they
had better fill up their canteens. which
they did.
From this point we struck into the
sand hills, leaving all roads. 1t was
pretty sandy and pretty heavy travel
ing for horse or mule. but l made up
my mind that l would show the gen.
eral from there on that l had spoken
the truth about the mule. So when the
general was not looking at me ! would
put the spurs to him. and as he would
lunge ahead / would say:
whoa. therel Take 1t easy. old fell
low. Don't get to frettin'."
We went on like that for a mile or
sc. The mule would get ahead Of the
horses, and whenever the general
wasn't looking l would spur him, and
hs the mule would forge ahead ]
would pat him to calm him down.
Finally the general remarked, "Thai

horse in the outfit. and when twilight
arrived he decided, after patching up
his head a little, to bring relief and
meet us at a point northwest on the
Platte river, about a days march on
ward These we're about the most
definite directions any scout got in the
trackless wastes Of those days, and it
showed the peculiar sixth sense or
acumen possessed by experienced Off
GERS and why practical scouts, like
Cody, in the wide terrestrial seas of
the great plains rarely ever missed
connections. Cody therefore reached
us safely, making a successful ride of
fifty miles during the night and ar
irving at Fort Kearny at daylight"

Tammany is expected to hold it's

William J. Gaynor is looked for by
the republican candidate.
Judge Gaynor is a Brooklyn man

Tammany tendencies, but the republi-
cans feel that they have stolen a
march on their adversares by putting
up Manhattan man, upon whom
they count to make inroads in the

Horse Laughs at the Loco Weed War

~ applied to the disease which robs
an animal Of its muscular co-ordina.
tion, causing it to do all sorts of fancy
antics, and nnally results in the ami
NAL starving itself to death.
The bureau Of plant industry has
been investigating the purple and
white loco weed. One Of the peculiar
characteristics of it is that the pods,
when dry and full Of seeds, rattle as
a person passes through a patch. max.
ing sound that resembles the warn.
ing of rattlesnake. Ordinarily Meth.
er horse, COW nor sheep will eat the
weed If it can find any other food.
Loco-weed eating becomes sort OF
habit with an animal once it has
tasted of it. The operation of the
weed on the system Of an animal
scientifically bears out the fiction
which ascribes to plumb locoed"
animal all kinds of fool antics.
The Investigations of the bureau in.
dicate that the purple loco il more
poisonous than the white loco. Horses
eat the purple loco almost exclusively,
while the white loco Is eaten by all
kinds of animals. Barium is found In
many loco plants and its connection
with the poisonous effects is stiu IN
