Was Forced With
"Bad Men" Brought Them
ge-Handed- An Expert Marksmen Remains Today

II recall an incident which gives
an idea of the courage of Jack Per-
shing," Colonel Hardeman said to
me. There was trouble between
some Navajo Indians and. some cow
boys at a place near Fort Wingate.
The cowboys shot several Of the In
dams and then fled to an old cabin
about 40 miles from the fort. The
Indians pursued them and surround
ed the cabin. A deadly fight started,
the cowboys barricaded in the cabin,
trying to repulse the Indians, and the
Indians, Gordon thrown about the
refuge, bent on taking the cabin by
storm and killing OF slowly torturing
to death all of its occupants.
"This was the situation when word
Of the affair reached Fort Wingate.
Jack Pershing was there-had gone
there to take command of troop,
acting as its commander. Col. Eu-
gene A. Carr, in command at the
fort, selected Jack Pershing's troop
to 60 out and arrest the cowboys.
Jack Pershing was given the order
and started Immediately.
Coming up to the cabir, Pershing
first talked with the Indians. He
told them that he had come to arrest
the cowboys and that he would see
that they were brought to justice for
the murders which they had COM
mitted, but that the Indians must not
interfere, nor take the law into their
own hands. The Indians knew Jack
Pershing. knew him for man Of his
word, and after some discussion they
| gave their promise not to harm the
cowboys. They waited about,
though Nothing short of a Maxim
gun could have dispersed them.
How Jack Got" His Men.
"Jack Pershing deployed his men
about the cabin, then walked up to
the door of the place and forced an
entrance.
"'Boys,' Jack said to the murder
ers, turning his back to the door and
facing them, I've come to get YOU
Jack has a pistol, but he did not
draw it. Each one of the cowboys
had a gun. At first they threatened
to kill Jack. They were not going
to be taken alive, they said. He
told. them they were, and that he
was going to take them. He told
them he was going to place them
under arrest and take them with
him back to the fort.
Jack won. He got the cowboys
to leave the cabin and climb into a
blackboard. They insisted that they
be allowed to retain their guns, that
they might defend themselves if at
tackled by the Indians. Jack would
not permit it. The cowboys were
disarmed and Jack Pershing took
them back to the fort. Later they
were tried for murder"
| Pershing's Mustache.
| Colonel Hardeman recounted other
incidents, one most amusing. A
question as to Jack Pershing's ap-
pearance in the days of the Indian
fights prompted the story.
eyes," the colonel replied to the
question, Jack had a mustache
when he was on the border-the
same mustache he has today. You
know at West Point cadets are COM
PEELED by regulation to be smooth
shaven. Consequently it is the de-
sire of every cadet to have mus
tache, and the first thing every cadet
does the moment he is graduated
is to raise one.
