 BEN CLARK, WHOM THE INDl- ANS CALLED MILE NO-TO-WAH."

When General Custer's Fighting Seventh charged down upon Chief Black Kettles Cheyennes on the Washita to the tune of "Garryowen" that cold November morning in 1868, at his side rode a man whom the In dians recognized, and they shouted to each other Look out for Red Neck 1! He's Il dead Shot!"
 Clark played an important part in Custer's campaigns that year, but his most valuable services were performed as a scout for Gen. Nelson Miles in the war with the Cheyennes, Arapa- hoes, Comanches and Kiowas in 1874 His greatest feat was his part in the rescue of the Germaine sisters, two little white girls who had been cap tured when their parents were mur- dered by raiding CheyenneS in their Kansas home.
 Two of the girls. Adelaide and Julia Germaine, were recaptured from the Cheyennes when Lieut.. Frank Bald win struck the camp of Chief Gray Beard so suddenly that the Indians had no chance to kill their prisoners, as they usually did. The girls in- formed General Miles that two of their sisters, Catherine and Sophia Germaine, still were held by another band of the Cheyennes.
 Ben Clark immediately set out to discover where they were. After q long search he found that they were in the camp of Chief Stone Calf. Gen eral Miles secured a photograph of Julia and Adelaide and on the back of it he wrote a message to the other sisters telling them that every effort was being made to rescue them. He gave this message to friendly ln- dian who visited Stone Calf's camp and, unobserved by the Indians, slipped 1t into the hand of one of the girls.
 The general next sent a message to Stone Calf, demanding his surren- der and telling him that no mercy would be shown his warriors unless the Germaine girls were brought to the nearest army post alive and un- harmed. In short time Stone Calf came in to the Cheyenne agency, sur rendered his white captives and all four sisters were reunited. Ben Clark's scouting had not been in vain.
 When the Cheyennes were finally subdued, Clark settled down at Fort Reno, Okla, with them. He became their interpreter in all their dealings with the white men, and the Chey- ennes came to honor "Red Neck" as much as they had feared him when he was fighting against Nthem. Later he was custodian of old Fort Reno, and when he died few years ago, after more than 50 years in the gov ernment service, his passing was mourned by white and red men alike.

field and party of friends approach ed the entrance to the courthouse just before noon, where they met Lively and a group of companions. Friendly greetings were exchanged, but a moment later those on either side assumed a hostile attitude, loud talking was heard, and this was fol- lowed by revolver firing. No one, however, could or would say who fired the first shot. Hatfield and Chambers fell.
 BOTH HAD MISSED"
 Hatfield was shot in the chest and Chambers in the head and breast. One of the guns carried by Hatfield said he carried two-- had been discharged. All chambers ill the revolver were empty. Chambers had only one gun Some of the shells in it also had been fired.
 The shooting did not cause more than a furry, and the large crowd in Welch for the trial was dispersed quickly by local authorities. The charge on which Hatfield was to be tried was in connection with the shooting up of Mohawk, w. Va, about year ago.
 Mrs. Sid Hatfield, who was the widow of Mayor C. c. Testerman, one of those slain in the Matewan bat tie, which resulted in the deaths of seven private detectives and three citizens, was in Welch to attend court at the time. She married Hat field two weeks after the death of Testerman.
 OUTGROWTH OF BATTLE
 Lively was ''the surprise" witness for the prosecution in the trial con- ducted in connection with the death of Albert c. Felts, director of the band of private detectives which had been sent to Matewan to evict min- CTS families from the houses of coal companies. This trial was the cul- imitation of a street battle in the West Virginia mining town year ago last May 19 When the battle started that afternoon the detectives had completed their work and were on their way from their hotel to the railroad station near by. Immediately after their acquittal by jury that listened for many weeks to testi- mony in the case, Hatfield and the co-defendants returned to Matewan on special car, guarded by state troopers and deputy sheriffs. There they were given a reception by the townfolk, which was not dampened by the fact that several other charges were still to be faced. Shortly thereafter Hatfield was re- moved from the office of chief of po- lice and immediately was elected con stable of the Magnolia district an office he retained to the time of his death.
 Although only 26 years old, Hat. fields name was known to almos,
