UNCLE DICK WooTToN, KEEP
Err OF THE GATE IN
MOUNTAINS"

Richens Lacy Wootton his parents
In Virginia named him at his birth In
1916; Young Dick Wootton his com
panions In Ceran st. Vraln's trading
outfit called him In 1896 when he
joined them on the Santa Fe trail as
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
tighter in the West.
Wootton's inexperience made him
the butt of many joke among st.
Vrain'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
circle, young WOotton was posted as
guard, with orders TO fire at any NOV
Ing object outside the corral. After
some hours he saw 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 a tight
with band of Comanches few days
later. Here Woctton killed his first
Indian.
Wootton became n trapper and trad
vr, and had many a hard battle with
the Indians In his wanderiDgs. He
won tho undylng 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 mn
gers from one hand in a boyhood ac-
cident.
During the Mexican war Wootton
,erved as scout for Col. William
Doniphan, and once was asked TO car
nv dispatt hes back 10 Santa Fe
through n country swarming with hos
lie Indians and enemy troops. lie
WIS offered an escort but refused It,
lying he could make II better alone.
He accomplished the perilous task
and received the highest praise from
| Donlphan for his feat.
| In his later years Uncle Dick Woot-
ON, as he now was called, settled In
Ration pass, on the border line Of Col
| orado and New Mexico.
When the Santa Fe railroad bull

the biggest locomotives was named
