Old Soldier Who Fought
With Custer Anxiously
Awaits SCOTS Visit

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 2.-The ap-
preaching visit of Major General
Hugh L. Scott, former chief of staff.
to Fort Yates holds unusual interest
for at least one Bismarck citizen.
This is Jacob Horner. old-tirpe Indian
fighter under Custer and other famous
generals, and who for almost forty
years has been a substantial resident
of the capital city.
II got my discharge from General
Scott" said Mr.. Horner today, land I
don't believe any soldier eve had a
finer discharge. 1 served with Scott
when he was a young second lieu
tenant at Fort Lincoln. We did our
counting at the same time, and 1 was
married in April and he in June. He
was in command of my company, Il
was discharged from the service at
Fort Totten, in 1881, and he signed
my papers,"
| Major General Scott started in as a
young man to make a good officer
says Mr.. Horner. He never drank OF
INDUCED in other excuses which were
then somewhat common on the part OF
officers and soldiers. He immediately
won the respect and affection Of hi!
men, and even as a green second-lieu'
tenant he showed the promise that has
since been fulfilled.
Mr.. Horner, who served FIVE years
with the Seventh cavalry, Clusters elf
command, first met Major Genera
Hugh Scott, then "shavetail' Lieuten'
ant Scott, at Fort Lincoln, just across
the river, early in 1876, before the
Custer massacre on Little Big Horn
Thirty-eight years have passed since
he last saw his beloved former COM
mander, and if Hugh Scott arrives
anywhere near this post Veteran
| Jacob Horner intends to look him UP
