That Fight with Dull Knife
East of Meade in 1879.

fooled Bro. Fuhr in sending him
the article signed Old Timer,
week before last.
1t is a verbatam copy of a
story recently published in the
Topeka Capital. In that paper
it is under a date line of Guth-
RE, Oklahoma, January End, and
is not signed seeming to have
been given by Mr.. Tiff to some
regular writer on the Capital
force. AS we have heard it from
men acquainted with actors in
the engagement, 1t IS nearly cor
rect. Mr.. Iltiff after several
years, and the excitement OF the
fight reverses the order of things
some what. There were few
men in Meade then and of those
on the ground at that time fewer
now are here, and none of them
claim to have been in the fight.
Andor Eliason was living where
he does now and George DeCow
was in the country, but at that
particular time had just started
with a young man called Happy
Jack for the Saline river with a
bunch of 200 head of cattle.
George and the other man work.
ed the cattle over alone and
drove their mule team. They
knew that the Indians we're be-
hind and to the west of them
and kept a good look out for
them. Each day one of them
would ride west tar enough to
learn what the war party was
doing, and their probable route
for the next day. Travelling
with such caution they reached
the Saline river near Ellis and
went into camp. They had a
little tent and usually slept in
it. That night after getting in
to their blankets they heard a
dreadful racket and got out to
learn what might be the cause.
What they heard was the rattle
of wagon driven at high speed,
with a great clatter and clash of
tin ware. What the hell? said
Happy Jack. Some one running
from the Indians replied George.
Soon the outfit arrived, for the
BOYS were camped near the trail
and the crossing OF creek. 1t
proved to be settler with his
wife and children. They had
hurriedly thrown tin ware, stove
and bedding loose, heller SHELTER
into the hind part of the wagon
and then put whip to the team
in a mad race against time for
Fort Hays. Don't smile at this
late day at the haste of the set
tier, it was always a good thing
to get women and children long
way from an Indian war party.
Both were considered by the
Indians as good booty and many
an Iudian raid has been made es-
pecially to capture women.
Well Geogre hailed the driver,
with enquiry as to where he was
going in such a hurry. When
told of that the Indians were
near the settlers place some 8
miles up the river, the boys told
him no, they were 40 miles up
the river going northwest. AT
last they prevailed on him to
stay at their camp till morning,
when one of the boys would ride
out far enough to learn where
the war party was. So the tent
was given to the women and
children and. the men wrapped
up In their blankets, went to
sleep. In the morning Georges
horse did not come to the wagon
and Happy Jack rode off, soon
meeting a scout coming back
with word that the Indians were
well out of reach and pushing
northwest.
At the time of this raid Ben
Haywood had settled on the land

Cannot Remit.

A special telegram from Charleston
last week says:
Governor Glassoock has declined Il
remit the forfeited bends of four men
who were brought to Martinsbure
from Maryland by apoliticsl party tc
assist in capturing illegal voters in q
recent primary in that city who were
arrested for carrying concealed wea-
pons, and after being in jail several
days, gave bond in the sum of $3.50
each, which bond they forfeited.
The governor holds that the law
gives him no authority TO remit for
feited bends. Had the men confessed
and been fined and imprisoned as the
law provides, then the governor could
have pardened the men and RENTED
the fine, but the men made no appear
ance and the justice of the peace enter
cd en- his docket that the bends bad
beed forfeited.
The foar men brought over TO help
show West Virginians how to conduct
elections were George F. Frederick,
Frank 3. Berry, f. E. Scanlou sad
George r. Wilson, each thinking IL
necessary to bring along their revelv-
ers, thinking probsbly that the John
son pistol law would act apply to them
because they wers from Maryland.
They know better now.
