THE HEROIC DEED OF "OLD
 MAN" RICHARDS

One of the hottest Indian fights in frontier history was the Battle of Adobe Walls in the Texas Panhandle in 1874. The Adobe Walls consisted of several huts, and two or three stores surrounded by stockade, and it was headquarters for a party of hunters who killed buffaloes.
 The Indians saw with dismay the destruction caused by the white men. They resolved to destroy the Adobe Walls and kill the hunters before they had wiped out the vast herds of bison.
 Early on the morning of June 27 a war party of Comanches, Kiowas and Cheyennes, under the leadership of Chief Quannah of the Comanches, swept down upon the Adobe Walls. The huffalo hunters were awake, however, and as the Indians charged the white men with their heavy Sharps buffalo -uns poured a deadly fire into their midst. The Indians attacked again and again, but each time they were heaten back with heavy loss. Nor did he hunters escape unharmed
 Three of them were killed in the first attack and in one of the stores young man named Thurston was shot through the lungs. Presently his cry ot "Water! Water!' was heard above the din of fighting.
 The nearest water was 5G yards away, where a pump stood in the un- protected open. In this same store was an old scout called "Old Man" richards. He heard young Thurston's cry.
 ''I reckon now" said "Old Man" Richards, "Tll go fetch a bucketful."
 He took a bucket and tossed it through the window. A frightened dog that had been hiding near by followed him, whining. Indian bullets cut up 1he ground all about them. The pump was slow. It took two minutes to get ,he water started from the sun- i. racked spout. The pump was struck q dozen times as Richards worked the handle.
 He pumped on without raising his head. The dog was shot down at his feet A bullet tore his hat from his cad. Still he pumped on. At last he bucket was filled. He picked up his hat placed 1t on his head, took np the bucket and brought it back to me store without spilling drop.
 here was not a scratch on him.
 Its sure some hot out there in the un," said "Old Man" Richards as he ave the dying Thurston a drink.
 Picking up his rifle, he took his post et a window again without indicating V word or act that he knew he had
 lst come out of the jaws of death.
