The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1911-12-01

An occasion of interest to the
whole county was the celebration
of the Golden Wedding of Mr.. and
Mrs. G. N. Culver on 1uesaday last.
The whole community was aroused
to the Importance of the event, and
the friends of the venerable couple
greatly enjoyed the honor of paying
their respects to them. Such cele-
brations are rare and noteworthy
anywhere, but especially where ali
are neighbors and well known to
each other. Mr.. and Mrs. Culver
have been residents of this county
for nearly half of their welded life,
and that they have endeared them
selves to their neighbors and friends
was we'll illustrated by the number
who attended their reception.

Seattle has real philanthropist
in the person of H C. Henry, rail-
road builder and banker. He has
already built tuberculosis sanitar-
ium, and established loan office for
salaried persons, at which money is
loaned at reasonable rates. He now
plans crematory and an anti-burial
league designed to reduce the cost
OF funerals about so percent. Mr..
Henry says of his latest philanthropy:
1T will mean the saving of all
manner OF expenses: the buying of
lot and the purchasing of a tomb
stone. The plan that l have under
consideration is for no gainful pur-
pose. No one is to profit by it,
save those who will save their
money by lessened funeral expenses

on Thanksgiving day this week.
some reference to the occasion
is timely and proper.
There is nota reader of the ISL
ander who has not something to be
thankful for. Something to be
sorry for too. but that may we'll be
left for future consideration. Our
local readers should be thankful for
the business awakening which
promises to provide those public
conveniences without which there
can be no growth or progress in the
community. Our county folks have
reason to be thankful for the pros.
perity they have enjoyed during the
: year. If there was little of it. they
should be thankful it was no worse,
San Juan county has been quite as
prosperous as other portions of the
state and northwest. The farmers
have secured good prices for their
products, and such farms as have
been sold have brought good prices

That the completion Of the Pana-
ma canal will mean millions of dollars
annually to the fruit growers of the
Pacific Northwest seems highly
probable. 1t is believed that the
fruit grower will profit more by the
opening of the canal than the men
engaged in any other industry, with
the possible exception of the lum-
bermen.

Association.

Captain Tisdaie of the -th United
States cavalry. years ago serving on
what was then called 1.-The palms." be-
ing sent out to reconnoiter the forces
of the hostile tribes Of Indians, who
were at war with each other, came
upon small band of Sioux who were
shooting arrows at long distance at an
Indian boy they had captured from
their enemies. Their object was to
torture the boy by making the distance
between him and them so great that
they would likely fire long time at
him before giving him his death
wound. He had been struck several
times, but not yet in vital part.
Captain Tisdale bought the boy for
$40. The captive, who was tied to the
trunk of tree, was unbound and taken
up by the captains order behind one
Of the troopers. Tisdale had no use
for his purchase, but If the boy were
left to himself he would either die
without food or be recaptured, tortur-
ed and killed. So the captain decided
to keep him with the command and
when the troop returned to the fort
take him along.
The boys Indian name being un-
pronounceable, he was given another
Jim. There was no reason why he
should not have been called John or
Jack or Joe instead. 1t happened sim
ply that the captain first thought Of
Jim. The boy was about fifteen years
old. tall and straight and had all the
fortitude of his race. When released
from being target, though fainting
from loss Of blood, he kept resolute
look on his face and did not seem es-
pecially pleased that his life had been
saved
Since there was nothing for Jim to
do at the fort, Captain Tisdale con-
Guided to make him his servant. Serv-
ants were hard to get In western
garrisons, and Tisdale, who was mar
ried man, thought Jim would make a
good waiter: The captain proposed
this to the boy, but received no reply
of either assent or dissent. He went
about his duties sullenly, but attended
to them faithfully. Tisdale was sur
prised that he displayed no gratitude
for the saving of his life. but Tisdale

Of the savages and ascribed Jim's ap-
parent Indifference to his redskin ma
ture Mrs. Tisdale went even further.
She feared all Indians and dreaded lest
they should be murdered by Jim some
nieht and he would be missing in the
morning.
Then came news that the tribe by
which Jim had been made captive had
broken away from their reservation
and were roaming about numbering
settlers. burning houses and pillaging.
All the garrison of Fort - except d
sufficient guard went out to drive the
savages back into their proper limits.
Captain Tisdale before departing said
to Jim:
"Jim. I wish you to be good to Mrs.
Tisdale while am away"

"All right" said the captain. who
was fearful of leaving him. "I'll get
you horse from the quartermaster.
and you shall be my orderly"
For the first time since Jim had
been purchased light came into his
eye.
"You would rather fight than wait
on the table. wouldn't you. Jim? 2" said
the captain.
''My father chiefw said Jim proudly.
The change in Jim mounted on q
charger from carrying viands on a
tray was something wonderful. And
was he not going to fight the very
tribe who had intended to shoot him
to death? When the command trotted
out Of the fort, many OF the men So
bered by the thought that they might
never get back to it. Jim rode behind

happiness in his eye
In those days, though the savages
were armed with rifles. they could not
always get the requisite ammunition
and were obliged to supplement their
armament with the bows and arrows.
The United States force that marched
against them. learning that they were
in camp within striking distance, at
tempted to surprise them in the early
morning, but the cavalry were late
in getting on the ground and found a
force four times their own numbers
drawn up to receive them.
During the fight Jim fought like a
young devil. But he never left his
captain. Tisdale was leading charge
into a nest of Indians when an arrow
struck him in the forearm. At the
same moment his horse fell dead. Jim
like a flash jumped from his own
horse, raised his captain, pulled the
arrow from the wound, looked at its
point and. kneeling by the captain,
who was sitting dazed on the ground.
