UNCLE DICK wooTToN, KEEP.
Err OF THE GATE IN
MOUNTAINS"

Richens Lacy Wootton his parents
1916; Young Dick WoOtton his COM
pnnions I'm Ceran st. Vrain's trading
outfit called him In 1896 when he
Joined them ON the Santa Fe trail as
a teamster, but as Uncle Dick Woot-
ton, the keeper OF the gate in the
mountains" he was best known to
every trapper, fur trader and Indian
fighter In the West.
Wootron's inexperience made him
the butt of many joke among st.
Vraln's veterans, and one incident did
not add greatly to his reputation
among them. One night when the
train had been corralled as usual In q
circle, young Wootton was posted as
guard. with orders to fire at any NOV
ing object outside the corral. After
some hours he saw a form moving
about nearby, and promptly opened
fire. The traders. awakened. by his
shot, rushed out, to find that young
Dick had killed one Of their mules
which had wandered out Of the cor
raj. Dick soon lived down his blum
der. however, by his courage In fight
with band Of Comanches "a few days
later. Here Wootton killed his first
Indian.
WOotton became trapper and trad
err and had many hard battle with
the Indians In his wanderings. He
won the undying friendship of the
Arapahoes, however by saving the life
of an Arapaho woman who was lost
In a blizzard. They called him Cut
Hand" because he had lost two fin
gers from one hand in a boyhood ac-
Cident.
During the Mexican war WOotton
served as scout for Col. William
Doniplian, and once was asked to car
ry dispatches back to Santa Fe
through country swarming with hos
tile Indians and enemy troops. He
was offered an escort but refused It,
saying he could make 1t better alone.
He accomplished the perilous task.
and received the highest praise from
Doniphan for his feat
In his later years Uncle Dick WOot-
Ton. as he now was called, settled In
Ration pass. on the border line OF COL
Orado and New Mexico.
When the Santa Fe railroad built
Its line through. Ration pass, one of
the biggest locomotives was named
"Unclc Dick" In honor of WOottOn,
and the old scout always watched for
Its appearance and smiled proudly as
1t thundered to the top Of the pass
with its heavy load.
