The report OF the recent death of
Capt A j. Vickers, at his home in
Pittsburg, KanS., calls TO the minds
of old timers the days when this gal
liant old fighter lived in Hays. He
was receiver of the U. S. Land office
which at that time was located in
the room now occupied by Geo. Philip
& Son as a hardware store. The
Vickers family, consisting of the
Captain, his good wife and two child

the little ones clung tightly to mann

juncture that brave men, fully armed

hearts which knew not the word fear,
gathered the helpless women and
children into the home of the gallant
Capt. Vickers, and placed themselves
at vantage points for defense.

The night of terror wore on, there
was sleep for no one. Occasionally a
stealthy Indian could be seen skulk-
ing about the edges of town in differ
ent quarters, but as often
as one appeared did he dis
appear. as the warning crack of
rife and the distressing zip of bullets
advised him that discretion was the
better part of vaIor. When daylight
came all was quiet, the Indians had
retreated and the siege of Ft. Wick
ers was raised.
An Indian chief Red Willow said
afterwards that it was the buffalo
hunters and the cowboy that saved
the town. They did not fear the
the soldiers little bit, but Indians
cannot face the deadly aim and de-
termined front of buffalo hunters
and cowboys.

the FIT. Hays hospital about nine days
later. and no effort was ever made to
discover the shooter = Hays Free
