JOSEPH E. RANKIN'S RIDE TO
SAVE HIS COMRADES

One Of the greatest rides In frontier
history was that Of Joseph e. Rankin.
a scout with Maj. T. T. Thornburgh,
when that officer was ambushed and
killed by the Ute Indians September
70, 1879. and his command surrounded
on the Mix river In northwestern
Colorado. When Capt. ]. S. Payne Of
the Fifth cavalry took command Of
the beleaguered troops and called for
volunteers to ride for help Rankin
was the first to offer himself.
All Of the horses In the command
had been wounded, but. taking one
Of the least injured, Rankin made
dash along the back trail and sue
ceeded in getting through the Indian
lines. Then In the darkness he headed
for Rawlings, Wyo., ITO miles away,
The next morning he met party Of
soldiers bringing up cattle herd for
Thornburgh. exchanged horses and
pressed on
His new mount soon failed him and
he was forced to continue his journey
on foot. Luckily he soon reached
hay camp and there obtained another
mount. On this horse he rode weari-
ly into Rawlings with his news that
evening. He had crossed three noun
tain ranges, had led his horses over
trails too rough to ride In the dark
ness or because the animals were toe
tired TO carry him and he had covered
the distance Of 40 miles In exactly
"A hours.
Troops we've at once put into mo-
ton to rescue Payne. Col. Wesley
Merritt, with four troops Of the Fifth
cavalry reached Rawlings ON the morn
Ing Of October 2. Rankin Immediate
ly offered his services as guide and
by noon Merrftt's command was on
Its way. When they camped at mid
night, they had covered 40 miles.
1t was the morning Of October 4.
Eighty miles away Payne and his
comrades were holding of the Utes
and praying for the arrival OF help
He knew that his colonel would spare
no effort to come to his rescue and
he believed 1t just barely possible that
Merritt would reach him by dawn OF
October B.
1t was q custom In the Fifth caval-
~ for one troop Of the regiment to
guide another into camp at night by
sounding "Officers' call" Surrounded
by his wounded men, Payne lay In
the trenches they had dug. listening
eagerly as the first streaks Of light
appeared In the east. Suddenly the
notes Of bugle were heard and "of-
ficers' cali" hoated out ON the morn
Ing air.
In few minutes the Utes were re-
treating sullenly before the steady ad-
vance Of Merritts dust-cOvered troop
ers. Rankin's ride OF ITO miles over
the toughest country In America and
his faithful guiding Of Merritt's men
had saved Payne and his comrades

"The Sheriffs in he several coun-
ties in the State, in making levies and
sales, in making returns and in pay
ing over money collected under tax
warrants and executions placed in
their hands by County Treasurers,
shall be subject to the direction and
under the control of the Comptroller
General of the State as they are now
in like manner to plaintiffs in execu-
ton; and the Comptroller is hereby
invested with all the rights and privi-
leges of a plaintiff in execution, to
invoke and obtain the aid of the
Court to compel refractory sheriffs
to discharge their duties in the en-
forcement of tax executions; and it
is hereby made the duty of the said
Sheriffs, respectively, to make re-
turn of all tax executions to the
Treasurer of their respective coun-
ties within ninety days after the date
of issue thereof, designating such as
may be nulla bona and such as may
have been collected by distress and
otherwise, and within the same time
to pay over to the said Treasurer all
taxes and penalties collected by them;
and the several County Treasurers
shall, at the last term of the Circuit
Court in each year for their respec-
tive counties. deliver to the foreman
of the grand jury a complete list of
all tax executions delivered to the
Sheriff for collection, and which have
not been collected, and the grand jury
shall examine the said list and pre-
sent the Sheriff for any default or
neglect in the performance of his du-
ties relative to the enforcement of
such executions. And in cas- any She
riff shall make default in paying over
within the time aforesaid any moneys
collected on said executions, it shall
be the duty of the County Treasurer,
and he is hereby required immediate
ly to bring suit against such default
ing Sheriff in any Court OF compe-

Sheriff shall be liable to treble the
amount for which he has defaulted {:
and in case of any loss resulting by
reasons of the failure of the County
Treasurer to perform the duties here
in set forth, such Treasurer shall be

THE WOMAN WHO RLLI
ATHENS.

THAT cOurtesan should =: We
l. ruled Athens, perhaps the gre.
est seat OF culture the world ever
knew, seems strange TO us now. But
ASpaSia was woman OF parts, who
taught elOquence to such men as Soc
rates and Pericles. Her home was
n meeting place for the most brilliant
figures In the ancient world. The time
which we consider was the Fifth CELL
tury before Christ, but our learning
has advanced very little beyond the
point reached by that group which
gathered around Aspasia.
She had many loves, and between
times discoursed upon art and philoso-
ply. Her beauty and her learning were
equally celebrated. Socrates, an ex-
tremely ugly man, forgot his philoso-
ply in love of this remarkable wom-
an. But she soon put him aside for
Pericles, the gifted, handsome figure
then arising to ascendency. Pericles
studied eloquence at her feet and
learned to love her, too. He divorced
his wife and went to live with AspaSia.
but could not marry her because of
law which forbade noble Athenian to
wed a barbarian" Aspasia came
from Iona. and the people of any other
nation were "barbarans" to the
Athenians.
Aspasa's brilliant mind, Joined r.
that of the noble Pericles, soon brought
him to a foremost position in the
state. He was the greatest ruler Ath-
ems ever had, and the guiding hand be-
hind his own was that Of the ceurtesan.
Then enemies accused her Of heresy,
charging that she did not believe In
the gods. which we Of course know to
have been merely beautiful fancies.
Pericles plead before the senate WA
fearful eyes, and saved her life. But
so great man as Socrates could not
be saved and was put to death on the
same charge. Evil days had fallen Nd.
on Aspasia's group. Men whose names
we now reverence were looked upon as
we would today regard anarchists.
They were called dangerous, unbeliev-
ers In religion, and many worse things.
Herodotus. the historian, and others
In that group had taken to retirement.
Conservative Athens and the ignorant
would have none Of their new
thought" Then Pericles died. Aspa-
sia was left alone I'm the world. How
ever she may have loved her lord, 1t
was not long until she appeared a. the
patron Of Lysicles. This Lysicles is
said to have been herder at one time,
who had gained money. He was an lg-

Cut Briars When Sleet Is On

Following the ice-storm which
swept southeastern Ohio last week,
Oscar Jordan, Noble county far
mer, made a finding which he has
handed to the Extension Service of
the Ohio State University for gen.
eral dissemination about the State.
1t is this: 1.-THE best time to NOW
briars is when they're ice-coated.
They cut like water then, and when
the ice is on them, a man can wade
right through them and not be
scratched. He can handle them and
they won't stick to his gloves. It's
treat to NOW icy briars!" The
college specialists say they hope
there won't be any more ice storms
this year, but add that Mr.. Jordan's
system is worth remembering.

AGRICULTURAL NEWS NOTES
Pasture Improvement Project

Mr.. E. E. Barnes, soils specialist,
0. S. u, was in the county last week
to assist the farm bureau project
leaders in getting the pasture i'm
provement project demonstrations
started This was one of the major
projects planned by the farm bu-
reau program committees and the
county agent at the township meet
ings held recently. 1t consists es-
sentially in a demonstration plot,
of one acre or more, on which the
demonstration agrees to apply lime
stone, acid phosphate, and seed, in
recommended amounts. Mr. Barnes,
discussed this particular soil prob
lem with the project leaders and
then individually with the demon
strator. The field was selected and
sample of soil taken to be used
by Mr.. Barnes in making recon-
mendations Owing to the limited
amount of time that Mr.. Barnes has
for overseeing demonstrations in
the future, only eight plots will be
started this spring. However, the
other townships will conduct de-
mOnstrations very similar to those
outlined by the soils department.
On the supervised plots, a field
meeting will be held when ever re-
suits are available.
The list of demonstrators and
townships represented are as fol-
lows: Penn, Geo. Kennard; Union,
Carlos Fuller; Marion, C. o.

News Briefs
Better times are ahead for the
farmer say economists. ''The eco
nomists contend that with food pro-
duction just about keeping pace
with population, while the supply
of manufactured goods runs far
ahead, farm prices in normal times
will increase more rapidly than the
price of things factories can make.
This, they say, held true in the
first fifteen years of the century,
the first normal fifteen before the
war, and it will hold true again. -
