NED BUNTLINE, SCOUT WHO
WAS WRITER OF PLAYS

Some of the old scouts turned their
hands to queer trades when the Indian
fighting days were over. Buffalo Bill
a the wne of a Wild West show,
Edgar s.. Paxson became d painter, and
Capt. Jack Crawford was u poet. 1t
was left for Ed Buntline to add an
other to the list of unusual things for
a scout to do. He became the writer
Of dime novels and the producer of
melodramas equally exciting.
Judson was his real name, and Ed
ward Zane Carroll Judson was the
full title with which his parents bur-
dened him on the day of his birth In
Philadelphia In 1922. He became n
of the boys who ran away to sea and
when he was only thirteen he rescued
the crew Of a boat that had been run
down by a ferry steame in New York
harbor. Soon afterwards he became a
midshipman in the United States navy.
Then the West called him and Jud-
son answered the call. During the
Civil wal he was chief of scouts
among the Indians on the western from
tier, and after that he wandered all
over the great plains as hunter and
trader. He made the acquaintance of
Buffalo Bill, Wild Bill and Texas
Jack, and began writing his thrilling
tales, part fact and part fiction, about
their lives. Ned Buntline was the
pen name he used in his writing, and
as Ned Buntline he became famous.
Buntline believed that eastern audi
ences would be interested in plays
based on life in the Far West and In
1872 he persuaded Buffalo Bill and
Texas Jack to come East and take
part In one of his melodramas. They
arrived In Chicago one Wednesday and
found that Buntline was planning to
open the show the next Monday. He
had rented the largest theater in the
city, but none of the other actors had
been engaged to appear with the two
scouts. In fact, the play had not yet
been wrlttenl
With Characteristic energy Buntline
set to work and in four hours he had
written a play called "The Scouts Of
the Plains"
Buntline's dime novels were equally
popular, and, in spite Of the disap-
prevail of their parents, the boys of
the eighties and the ninetles eagerly
read the ~hair-raising adventures Of
RED Ralph, the Ranger" and Dead
Eye Dick Buntline never won re-
nown as a scout himself, but he helped
spread the fame of others, until In
1886 he followed the trail of many Of
the redskins" who "bit the dust"
when one of his hero's "trusty rifles
