Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1910-11-11

He was lying in. a tent reading one
day and the book fell out of his hands.
He had life enough to turn over and
as he did he saw gold all around the
roots of the grass. He had sense
enough to report his discovery and
twenty-five million dollars was taken
out Of the gulch before it was desert
ed. When l was in Helena Cinnamon

making good wages on what the white
man had thrown away in his hurry.
x and the writer met several times
by appointment in order that we
might get a detailed account OF his
services as a vigilante but we never
got down to business more than five
or ten minutes before some one would
find US, seeking x on some business
or other, and 1 left Helena without
getting what 1 wanted.
Liver-eating Johnson was an Indian
tighter pure and simple, and said he
never met an Indian he didn't want
to scalp, and the Indians made many
a bold effort to get Johnson's hair.
Liver-eating johnson was a great
friend of Yellowstone Kelley, and
they often hunted Indians together.
1t was while General w. B. Hazen
was in command at Fort Burford that
johnson got his blood thirsty name.
"Liver-eating" had no reference to
animal liver, IT. was good Indian liver
that johnson ate which gave HIM the
name, and it was the liver of an In
dian that Johnson followed for one
hundred miles north of the mouth of
the Yellowstone river.
A Rec Indian came into Fort Buford
one afternoon and hunted up John
son, who was a government scout and
a mail carrier at times between the
upriver forts. The Rec told johnson
that his chum and longtime partner
Bill Jones was killed by a renegade
outcast Mandan Indian while return.
ing from Fort Stevenson to Buford
with the mail. Jones had been am
pushed by a Mandan named Black
Feather, and was found dead and
scalped beside his dead pony.
Johnson knew this bad Indian and
he made a VOW tina. he would follow
him up and kill him and eat his liver,
and johnson kept his word, and when
we last saw Johnson at Winona, OPP
posite Standing Rock, he had that
Indians hair.

johnson: before starting out on his
Indian hunt, visited the Rec and
Mandan Indian villages and sought
Information Of Black Feathers lOca-
tion and probable route towards the
Canadian border. He learned that
Black Feather intended to join the
Canadian Tetons and make his home
with them. Johnson returned to
Buford and got the best horse among
the scouts and a note from Gen.
Hazen to the Canadian Mounted PO-
lice and started on a direct course for
the Teton country, making no effort
to follow the murderer, knowing
where he would cross the line il he
intended to 90 into Canada. Johnson
made the boundary trail In two days
and then concealed his horse to await
events. On the third day a lone In
dian was seen on the trail headed
north and Johnson was sure it was
the Indian he was after. johnson
was concealed near the trail and when
he recognized Black Feather he de-
termined to kill his pony and then
kill the Indian. Johnson's first shot
killed the horse and the Indian
jumped to his feet with a wal whoop
knowing his time had come. The
Indian started to run, not being able
to locate johnson, and then Johnson
fired a second shot from his Winches-
ter which caught Black Feather in
the left shoulder and he fell, and
Johnson soon discovered that the In
dian could not use his gun. johnson
approached him cautiously, ready to
shoot If the Indian raised his gun,
but he was past fighting. johnson,
who could talk the Indian language

followed and shot him.

Two Famous
Characters.
K. Beidler a Noted Vigilante
and Liver Eating John
son a Noted Indian
Fighter.

A little explanation will explain
why the editor presents these two
noted characters to the LEADER
readers. In the first place, we knew
both Of them we'll, and secondly, we
found the following Explanation"
in the Philadelphia Saturday Even
ing Post, and thirdly, we want to tell
our readers about them. Here Is the
item from last weeks Post:
AN EXPLANATION.
tx" Beidler, whose name was John
Xenophon Beidier, OF something very
much like that, but who always was
called TX" and who vas one Of the
famous Montana pioneers as we'll as a
v%igilante, was out on the plains n
day with L~iver-eating johnson,
another we'll known Montana charac-
ter, when they were chased by a band
of Indians.
johnson had a better horse than
TX" and was soon ahead. He turned
several times and urged Beidler to
Hurry up, X" he yelled. Get
a move On!"
"Dod-gast you, Johnson shouted
Beidler IS he spurred his horse; do
you think I'm trying to throw this
racer" E.
The first time we met X Beidler
was in Helena, Montana, while visit
ing that city in 1887, and our first
meeting with Liver.eating johnson
was at the Standing Rock Indian
Agency while we were visiting Major
Mclaughlin, the agent.
We spent many a pleasant hour
with x Beidler at Helena and his
stories about his experience with bad

deserve his medicine.
On a trip one day from Helena to

men hung four road agents who we're
captured after a desperate gun fight

way from Helena to Marysville, where
we spent a week seeking information
as To the death of General Meagher,
governor of the territory, at the time
he was drowned at Fort Benton. No
~ saw Governor Meagher fall into
the river, and it was Beidler's opinion
that some Of the Montana de%speradoes
got on board the steamer and killed
the General and threw his body into
the Missouri river. General Meagher
as governor did all in his power to
drive the bad men from Montana,
and gave Beidler's %vigilantes all the
assistance he could. We we're inter.

Major Charles
DeRudio Dead.
He Escaped the Guillotine in
France and the Indians,in
the Custer Slaughter.

Major Charl,s De Rudio, a retired
U. S. A. officer, died In Los Angeles
last week, after having escaped a
death sentence In France and the In
dians under sitting Bull and Gall
when Gen. Custer and his brave troop
ers met death on the Little Big Horn,
June Is, 1876.
The editor Of the LEADER first met
Lieutenant De Rudio when he found
the officers Of the Seventh Cavalry
huddled In a small shack on the edge
of the camp during that terrible biz
card in 1873 at Yankton, when the en-
tire regiment was engulfed in snow,
We saw him again at Fort Lincoln in
the fall of that year, while visiting
with General Custer, and our visit
was cut short by information from
Yankton that Banker Wintermute
had killed General McCook, and that
l was needed in Yankton.
The next time l met DeRudio was
at Fort Lincoln after the dreadful
massacre on the Little Big Horn,
when half Of that gallant regiment
was destroyed by the Indians. He
and what was left of the old regiment
had returned and occupied their old
quarters, but Fort Lincoln never re-
covered from the sorrow OF the mas.
sacre.
1t was In the fall of 1876 that the
great riots took place in Chicago and
the government had ordered six com
panies OF the Seventeeth U. S. Infan'
try, then stationed on the Yellow
stone to march overland to Fort Lin

A few officers and the wives of the
surviving officers of the Seventh Cav
airy decided to entertain the officers
Of the Seventeenth Infantry when
they arrived at Lincoln, and the writ
er, who had gone from Canton to Bis
marck, was invited to the reception
and entertainment at Fort Lincoln,
as he was we'll acquainted with the
officers of both regiments. One Of
the vacant barracks was used as a
ball room, and the writer had the
honor of opening the ball with Mrs.
De Rudio. the woman who induced
Queen Victoria to appeal to Empress
Eugene of France to save DeRudio's
life after Napoleon Ill had ordered
his execution. De Rudio'S compan-
ions in the attempt to destroy Ma
poleon had already lost their heads
under the guillotine and 1t was De-
Rudio's turn to march under the
knife when an officer rushed up with
a reprive and De Rudio's life was
spared. Napoleon was furious when
he learned that the Empress had
saved De Rudio and was about to
order him sent to the g%uillotine a Sec
ond time, but the Empress prevailed
for mercy and De Rudio came to the
United States and fought through
the civil war, and as stated before,
was a first lieutenant in Clusters fam
Gus regiment when it came to Yank-
ton.
The reception Of the Seventeenth
was As cordial as anyone could wish,
though SORROW and mirth mingled in
| the festivities and many a sad heart
smiled the courage of a soldier. The
next day the Seventeenth took train
at Bismarck for Chicago, where the
veterans marched through the city
unmolested. No mob dare tackle
those men. They we're marksmen
and would shoot to kill, and the mobs
knew it and rioting ceased.
Lieutenant De Rudio served under
Major Reno in the Little Big Horn
battle, and when Reno, In fear and
icowardice, ordered a retreat when he
should have advanced, De Rudio and
Fred Gerard, the interpreter, were
among those who bad their horses
killed under them in the retreat and
we're forced to take refuge in the riv-
er under the heavy overhanging grass
along the banks, where they were
compelled to remain until midnight

before the Indians gave up the search
for those who we're killed or wounded
in the river.
Fred Gerard was the best Indian
interpreter in the upper country and
had been a trader at Fort Berthold
and Union and knew Setting Bull
we'll. The morning Of June rs, Gen.
Custer sent Gerard over to Reno to
help Reno after the command separa-
ted. Gerard and Charlie Reynolds, a
famous scout, were shooting at the
Indians in safety from behind trees
when Reno's cowardly order to retreat
was given, and Gerard was furious but
had to run for it with the balance,
and that's how he and De Rudio we're
nearly captured. After Gerard re-.
turned to Fort Lincoln he gave the
writer a full history of that cowardly
affair which he asked us to send to
General Sheridan, which was done,
and as we we're we'll acquainted with
the General he knew the report was
reliable, and through this report came
the Court Martial OF Reno for cow
ardice.
We never met De Rudio after the
regiment left Fort Lincoln although
hearing Of him frequently, and his
death at Los Angeles last week, re-
calls the events In the life of a brave
soldier and a patriot. De Rudio was
connected with IN Italian patriotic
society which sought liberty for Italy,
and the attempt to assassinate Ma
poleon III was in revenge for his be-
trayal Of their cause, and from what
De Rudio told us, l have always been
under the impression that Napoleon
had been a member Of their society
before he became Empero: of France.

He hit timely and with terrific
force. His fielding was the elaborate
feature of the infield work in two
games. and he prepared himself for
endless fame. If ever Connie Mack's
judgment was indicated, it was in

out forever any unjust criticisms of
his work, and he has the Chicago
critics by the ears. They were roast

praise for him.
Baker has made good, and if there

the place. Among the Improvements
are a new grand stand with a seating
dock, where all starters must report
twenty minutes before each race and
be submitted to the rigid inspection
