Stories OF
Great Scouts
BY ELMO SCOTT WATSON
.. 1921. Western Newspaper Union
jim BEcKWoRTH, MULATTO
WHO BECAME CROW CHIEF

Jim Beckwourth, without doubt, was
the most-married man in history. just
how many wives he had is unknown
In his autobiography Jim mentions al
least seven spouses, but his reputation
for truth was not the best. BECK
wourth was the son Of a Maryland
freshman and negress, and he was
born In 179S. When he left st. Louis
with General Ashley's fur-tradlng ex'
petition In 1923 he had sweetheart
named Eliza TO whom he pledged
eternal devotion.
Among the Blackfeet Indians he won
his first wife, marrying her because
it would help his trade among her
tribesmen! Soon afterwards he mar
rjed her sister, too. Later he left the
Blackfeet, TO trade with the Crows,
and he acquired several more wives.
Jim was man OF great strength
and remarkable runner. One day
he was attacked by war party who
pursued him for 50 miles before he
finally outran them. AT another time
when force Of $500 Arikaras and
Sioux attacked the Crows, the mu-
Iatto led the Absarokes (Crows) SO
brayely that 253 of the enemy were
killed. Beckwourth had three horses
shot under him in this fight and killed
IA of the Sioux. He WIS adopted by
the Crows, and because of his deeds In
war, he rose to the position of first
counselor, the highest honor In the
tribe.
At the outbreak of the Mexican war
he enlisted as ii scout and dispatch
bearer for Gen. Phil Kearney. He
also carried dispatches to California
and he was there In 1913, when gold
was discovered. He mined for while
until the discovery of gold In Colo
RADIO in 1859 lured him to that state.
He settled in Denver and married
again-this time a negro girl.
The Crows heard of his return from
California and sent messengers to him,
begging him TO return to them. Mis-
fortune had come to the tribe, and
they needed his ''str0ng medicine"
Beckwourth paid no heed to their
pleadings until 1869, when he finally
visited Them But he refused to live
with them permanently. When he
announced his intention of returning
to Colorado, they prepared a great
farewell feast in his honor. Beck
wourth ate their food and dropped
dead. The Crows had given him poi
son. The Crows believed his 'medi-
cine would pass into his spirit, and
that wherever his bones rested the
spirit would remain. They resolved
to have both, and took that means OF
getting them!

HOW KIT CARSON FOUGHT A
DUEL AND WON A WIFE

The Green River country In Wyom.
ing was a famous rendezvous for trap.
pers in the old days, and in 1885 many
of them were gathered there. One was
Captain Shunar, a French bully, WHO
had aroused the anger of several of the
American trappers by his offensive
manner toward a young Arapaho girl
In camp nearby. The girl feared
the Frenchman and appealed for pro.
lection to young trapper named Kit
Carson.
Learning of this Shunar, In an effort
to bring about a quarrel with Carson,
rode about the camp one day carrying
loaded rifle and declaring that all
Americans were towards, deserving
only whipping with hickory switch.
AT last Carson faced the Frenchman.
II am an American, and IL you are
determined to die, am your man.
he said. The Frenchman besitated
at this defiance.
Leaping to his horse, his pistol In
hand, Carson demanded of Shunar:
"Am the man you are looking for?s
mo-" replied Shunar, but he raised
his arm to shoot.
The two men fired at the same time.
The Frenchman's bullet grazed Car.
sons scalp and the powder burned his
face The Americans shot shattered
Shunars forearm and he died from
the effects of the wound soon after
wards.
Carson came to love the Indian
girl he had befriended, and later they
we're married by the Indian ceremony.
In sss-a8 she became his wife In q
Christian s.-erriage.
Kit Carson wax one of the most ro-
mantle figures In frontier history.
Born In Kentucky In 1909 he ran
van on the Santa Fe trail. From 1929
to 1S43 he was trapper and trader
in the Rockies. Then he guided Gen.
eral Fremont 10 the Great Salt Lake
and California, and was a scout for
1.-THE Pathfinder" In the Mexican war.
Carson was an Indian fighter, too.
He defeated the Navajoes so disas.
trously that they never again seri.
ously threatened the white man. He
whipped the Kiowas and Comanches
at the first great battle fought at
the Adobe Walls. Then In his later
years he became an Indian agent, and
the red men who had once fought him
learned to love hin and to call hin
Father Kit"
Finally the old scout settled dow,
in his home In Taos, N. NJ. In 1856
he went to Fort Lyon, Colo. to vfsi
his SON. There he fell III and die
