SAVING AHERD
By BUFFALO BIM
RON TRUE TALES OF THE PLAINS
eopYRleATlsoe. IY, Y,slIlIAlA EeoDr

RUNE IS, 1869. under General Eu-
gene A. Carr. saw us hunting for
a band Of Indian dog soldiers
~ who were, like the Irlshman's
Tea, here. there and at times every
where.
Nebraska, Colorado and Kansas were
AL excited over the depredations Of
these renegades. They had murdered
right and left, had captured several
hundred mules and horses and destroy
Cd wagon trains. as we could tell by
the trail Of some shod animals. What
Intensified our desire to punish or cap
ture them was the fact that they had
some white captives-Mrs. Alderdice,
whose husband and children they had
killed, and Mrs. Weigel, whose hus-
band and family had also been mas
sacred, and these two women were
known to be still alive and with them.
At last we got on their trail and had
almost daily skirmishes, and General
Carr decided to use some stratagem
to see if we could not get them in a
tight place. He consulted with me,
and after a day of continual skirmish-
ing and a night attack he ordered a
PetrOgrade movement, which created
Q good deal Of discussion between the
officers and men at the time. Appar-
emily abandoning the pursuit he re-
tired as if going back to the fort, and
A. two or three days, as he surmised,
the Indians were nowhere to be seen,
having come to the conclusion that
We were disheartened and that they
could with impunity take a little re
pose themselves. This was exactly
what our willy commander desired, as
he intended to retrace his steps and
catch them sleeping. So, being sure
that there were no Indians in sight,
be packed all the grub possible on the
mules, burned the wagons and i'm
pedimenta and Immediately started to
make forced marches in their direc-
tlon.
As ! had surmised, they were head
ing for Summit Springs a few miles
south Of the Platte river and among
the sand hills. which formed a beau
tiful little oasis, as 1t were, FOR a
camp ground Striking their trail by
1ndging from their daily campfres, we
made in one day the same distance
that they made in three, but when
near the Springs, as We saw the trail
getting fresher. we covered four Of
their days jOurneyings, with all their
impedlmenta and village outfit, in one
day and landed at the oppOrtune mo
ment ready for business. while the enc
nv had been thrown of their guard
and gave us an opening that resulted
% gloriously that this battle Is recog-
nized as having been one Of the most
effective in the early breaking Of the
power Of the red man on the plains.

Initiative and It's Reward,

The world bestows its big prizes,
both in money aud honors, for but
one thing. And that is Initiative.
What is Initiative? I'll tell: It ls
doing the right thing without be-
log told.
But next to doing the right thing
without being told is to do itwhen
you are told once. There are those
who never do thing until they are
told twice; such get no honors and
small pay.
Next there are those who do the
right thing only when necessity
kicks them from behind, and these
get indifference instead of honors,
aud a pittance for pay. This kind
spends most of it's time polishing a
bench with hard luck story.
Then, etill lower down in the scale
than this, we have the fellow who
will not do the right thing even
when someone goes along to chow
him how, and stays to see that he
does it; he is always out of a job,
and receives the contempt he de.
serves, unless he has rich pa, in
which case Destiny patiently waits
around the corner with a stuffed
club.
TO which class do you belong?

Mutual Home Protection.

The depression in land values from
their condition twenty years ago re-
suited IN thousands OF tax-titles
Throughout Eastern Colorado. The
awakening the past three or four
years TO the real value Of these lands
has aroused former holders and as
stgnees OF defaulted deeds and mort.
cages, and set their nimble wits at
work. Many Eastern assignees OF
these spectral claims are playing a
stalking game by applying hold-up
process to local owners OF the tax
title lands. demanding in some in
stances $500 TO $1,000 per quarter
for shadows costing them SO TO SIS.
The altitude OF these outside grab
bers has aroused the people of Kiowa
county
A meetin of tax-title holders of
kiowa county was held at Eads, Mon
day. September goth. Though on
short notice, there was an enthusi.
astic attendance from various parts
Of the county. Judge L. F. Ran.
