THE LONG SHOT MADE BY BILLY
DIXON

"The old Sharps rifle. ended the
North American buffalo," once wrote
Theodore Roosevelt, the chronicler of
the winning Of the West, and he
might have added that this famous
gun helped write "Finis" to the story
Of the Indian with a few periods Of
lead.
One of the most remarkable shots
ever made with this rifle tool place
at the Adobe Walls fight in the Texas
Panhandle In 1874, when a war party
Of Kiowas, Comanches and C~heyennes
tried to wipe out a little group Of buff
falo hunters who had their headquar-
tiers there. The shot was fired by
Billy Dixon, known to the Indians as
"Hasta-Long Hair"
After three charges against the
stockade had failed to overwhelm the
buffalo hunters, the Indians settled
down to starve them out. During the
siege "Bat" Masterson, one of the
hunters, noticed a group of Indians
gathered on a hill nearly three-quar-
ters Of a mile away. They could be
plainly seen, and were evidently talk
ing over ONE new plan for overcom;
ing the white men when Masterson
called Dixon's attention to the group.
BILLY, it wouldn't be a bad idea to
break up that little pow-wow over
there, would it?" he said.
Don't know whether the old Sharps
Is good for 1t or not, but I'll try It,"
replied Dixon. He knew the range
approximately 1000 yards. Fixing the
sights of his gun to this range, the
scout aimed carefully and fired. The
warriors break up hastily and the saw
ages retreat to a safer place.
Dixon served as a scout for General
Miles In the campaign against the
southern tribes that year, and he was
one of the six dispatch bearers who
made a heroic stand in an old buffalo
wallow against a war party of 125
Comanches and Kiowas. In this fight
Amos Chapman, a fellow scout, lost
his leg. Although Dixon's shirt front
was riddled with bullets, he received
only one slight wound. That night
he volunteered to go for help and
after a perilous trip he brought back
a troop of cavalry and rescued his
comrades.
For nine years Dixon was a govern
ment scout at Fort Elliott, Tex. Then
he homesteaded a ranch in the Pan
handle, building his log house on the
ruins of the old Adobe Walls where
he had made his famous shot with the
old Sharps. Later he moved to Cimar-
ron county, Oklahoma, and died near
the little town of Gresham in 1914.

SQUIRREL ATTACKS MAN
Vicious Animal Roams Woods Seeking
Whom He May Devour.

A vicious squirrel is roaming the
woods near Anderson, S. c., seeking
whom he may devour.
The word of Frank Stone, motor
man for the street ear company here,
was given for the truth of the state
ment.
Stone, going happily along to his
work, taking no more than the usual
%precaution against attack by squirrels,
was set upon by the animal. which
fastened its teeth in Stones right ear
and enjoyed a nice breakfast. Stone
sought to brush the squirrel away with
his hand, whereupon the animal coun-
tered with Il raid on his fingers, chew
ing several of them.
Stone dashed to police headquarters
and reported his experience, but the
police don't know what to do about il
except to go hunting. They suspect
the squirrel has rabies.
