a few moments, when. with yells, a
squad took up hot pursuit. Both ar

close to his ear, Just when Hickol's

his unerring aim dropped the gallant
pursuer from his horse and rode safe
~ into the Union lines. Here he de-
liyered his information to General
Pleasonton, which turned the tide of
| the day.
Probably the most noted event in his
career was his single handed fight
| with Jacob McCandles and his gang
| of nine men at Rock Creek. western
Kansas. while riding pony express in
| 1861. This was his first great fight
while covering his route, armed only
with two Colt revolvers He halted
at Rock Creek Station to find the
stock tender dead and his wife excited
by his presence. AS he approached
she exclaimed:
| MY heavens, Bill, McCandles and
his gang are In the neighborhood, or

This gang of bandits had been lay

Of the way. flushing to the door to re-
mount and get back, he saw several
| heads pop UP out of the grass, and
bullet struck the door jamb. Jumping
! back and telling the lady to escape, lie
was fortunate to find a loaded rifle
| left by the husband which the Nc
! Candles gang did not think of, as
| they saw that Bill was armed only
with six shooters. There were some
raillery and badinage between him and
| McCandles of defiant nature when
McCandles and nine bandits rose and,
with a yell. charged for the door.
| They depended Oh taking the chance
of losing some Of their men and made
4 quick charge. Bits instructions
were to me in such cases. "Will, al
ways get the leader" This he did, as
he fired straight at McCandles, the
bullet catching him full in the heart,
and he dropped instantly. By this
time the desperadoes were close upon
the cabin. Jumping aside, he emptied
the revolvers through the cabin door.
Four men fell dead. besides Mccain
dies, at this stage of the game.
| Although wounded with buckshot
and bullet and struck over the head
with rifle that caused him to bleed
at the mouth and nose, he still stayed
with EN-" At this time, as he told
me himself, the cabin was filled with
smoke, and anything he struck or hit

Ohio, says Washington dispatch. A
bill to reorganize. the militia of the
District Of Columbia was under dis

Of story told by President Lincoln
