married a Sioux woman. and lived

speak their language and knew their
ways. As trailer and reader OF
signs. Grover was without a peer.
He could tell how long since the
tracks had meen made; whether they
were by horses or ponies. shod or I'M

many were driven: whether II was a
war party or one moving from one

HOW ISRAEL PUTNAM OUT
WITTED THE INDIAN BEAR"


In 1858, while General Lyman's
army was encamped near Fort Edward.
N. ", during the French and Indian
war. sentinels at one outpost began
10 disappear mysterlously. Night after
night soldier was posted there and
the next morning could not be found.
Only the bravest men In the army
were selected for this post. General
Lyman gave orders for them to call out
"Who goes thereY' three times. II they
heard any noise, and then IL no answer
came to fire. But the dlsappearances
continued until his men were panic
stricken and refused 10 take such
dangerous station.
At last Israel Putnam, a member OF
Major Rogers rangers, volunteered TO
20 on guard al that place and solve
the mystery. One hot summer night
he heard rustllng In the leaves
nearby. The sounds were those
OF an animal scuffiing about on the
ground for food and, peering through
the darkness, Putnam saw by the faint
starlight a huge creature. which he
recognized as a bear. slowly sham
bling toward him.
Something In the bears gait aroused
the scouts suspicion. Putnam obeyed
the generals orders. He challenged
three times and then fred. A loud
groaning and struggling noise followed
and when the scout rushed forward
he found the bear I'm its death agony.
Then he turned the animal over En-
closed In the shaggy skin still clutch
ing a tomahawk but stone dead, lay
n giant Indian.
The mystery was solved. The other
sentinels had believed II was a real
bear they heard and allowed the dar.
ing warrior TO get near enough TO use
his tomHhawk before they learned
their mistake. No more sentinelS dis
appeared.
Some time after this event Putnam
was captured by the Indians, who
started 20 burn him at the stake. Just
as the flames began TO scorch his buck
skin garments, heavy rain began
10 fall and put out the fire. The saw
ages collected more dry wood and
again began the torture. But again
they were foiled.
A French officer appeared upon the
scene, dashed through the ring OF
fame, kicked the blazing brands right
and left and released the scout, telling
the Indians that he must send Putnam
10 Montreal to be questioned by Gen
eral Montcalm. Putnam was held
In Canada until an exchange OF prison
ers allowed him 10 return TO his home
and he lived 10 become a famous gen
ernl in the Revolution.

HOW .IIvER-EATIN JOHNSON
GOT HIS NAME


.Amoug the scouts who were Win
Gen. Nelson A. Miles, when that OF
ficer inflicted his crushing defeat mp
on the Sioux chief. Crazy Horse, az
the battle OF Wolf Mountain, Mont,
Ia 1877 was one bearing the strange
name of "Liyer-Eatin' Johnson.
johnson was powerful Norwegian,
weighing more than 800 pounds and
standing six feet, three inches In his
moccasn-clad feet. tie had great
shock OF golden hair Of which he was
very proud-so much so, that ne
refused 10 wear hat, and when he
went into battle with this golden
name In the wind. he looked like an
ancient Morse viking.
Johnson had won his name In
gruesome way. Two stories about this
are told. differing slightly In detail,
but agreeing ID the main facts. One
tells how a party OF Indians hao
raided a trading post on the Mussei-
shell River, but were driven of with
heavy loss Ii Is said that johnson,
In spirit OF devilish braNado, cut
out the liyers OF several OF the dead
warriors and actually ate them.
The other story seeks to justify
Johnson's act. A Cheyenne chief had
raided and burned Johnson's camp
while he was away op trapping ex-
pedltion. When he returned and saw
the ruins, he swore that he would
kill the Cheyenne and eat his liver.
Later he made good his threat. Either
account may be correct, SO far as
details are concerned. At any rate,
he was ever afterward known as
Liver Eatin'" johnson.
Johnson's inseparable companion
was TX" Beidler OF Montana vigilante
fame. BeIdler disapproved OF john
sons lack of headgear and called him
"yaller-headed Injun," because, as
he said. every decent white man
wears some sort O. coyerin' for his
scalp" But Johnson was firm in his
convictions. and I'm the fight with
Crazy Horses Sioux he justified him
self-to his own satisfaction, at least.
AS Beldler and Johnson charged up
the snow-clad- slopes of Wolf noun
tain that morning against entrenched
Indians. bullet cut furrow through
Liver Eatln's hair. like pair of red
hot sheep shears" as he said.
"Now you see !" he exclaimed 10
his "pardner." III. I'd had hat on,

Little is known OF Johnson's later
history. He was a scout at Fort Gus
ter 1881, when the young chief Sword
Bearer tried to stir up the Crows
against the whites and secuted for
the troops during that brief war.
After that he seems to drop out Of
history.
