Stories of
Great Scouts
By ELMO SCOTT WATSON
JOSEPH E. RANKIN'S RIDE TO
SAVE HIS COMRADES
l@. lg2l. Western Newnpaper Unlon.l

One of the greatest rides In frontier
history was that of Joseph Il. Rankin,
a scout with Maj. T. 7. Thornburgn,
when that officer was ambushed u
killed by the Ute Indians September
20, 1879, and his command surrounded
on the Milk river In northwestern
Colorado. When Capt. J. s. Payne OF
the Fifth cavalry took command OF
the beleaguered troops and called Tor
volunteers to ride for help, Rankin
was the first to offer himself.
All of the horses In the command
had been wounded, but, taking o
Of the least injured, Rankin made a
dash along the back trail and sue

lines. Then In the darkness he headed
for Rawlings, Wyo., 40 miles away,
The next morning he met a party OF
soldiers bringing up a cattle herd Tor
T%hornburgh, exchanged horses N
pressed OF.
His new mount soon failed him and
he was forced to continue his journey
on foot. Luckily he soon reached a
hay camp and there obtained another
moun 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 too
tired to carry him and he had covered
the distance Of 40 miles In exactly
"a hours.
Troops were 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 Merritt's command was on
Its way. When they camped at mid
night, they had covered 40 miles.
1t was the morning of october A..
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 it just barely possible that
Merritt would reach him by dawn Of
October B,
1t was a custom In the Fifth cayal-
ry 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 a bugle were heard and "of-
icers' call' floated out on the morn
Ing air.
In a few minutes the Utes were re-
treating s~ullenly before the steady Id
vance of Merritt's ~dust-covered troop
ers. Rankin's ride of ITO miles over
the toughest country in America and
his faithful guiding of Merritts men
had saved Payne and his comrades.

HOW WALAPAl CLARK ENDED
"THE APACHE TERROR"

Although the worst Indian war In
Arizona ended in 1886, when Chief
Geronimo surrendered to General
Miles, ten years later a lone Apache
warrior was still carrying terror to
the hearts Of the settlers In that state.
The Apache Kid was his name. He
had once been a scout for our
troops; then. his 'heart went BAD;
he deserted his command and joined
the hostiles. When Geronimo sur
rendered, the Apache Kid stayed
OUT and took the lone war trail.
Late in the COS a %prospectcr
named Jack Clark located a claim
near Condor In the Santa Cataline
mountains north of Tucson. Clark had
been a scout for the government In
the Apache campaigns. He had lived
among the Walapai Indians for many
years and bore the nickname of
"Walapai" Clark. One night an old
pack mare Of Clark's was stolen and
the trail showed that it was the work
Of a lone Indian. Clark felt sure 1t
was the Apache Kid.
"Walapai" knew that unless the In
dian kept the mare securely tied she
would escape and come back. A week
later she returned. Believing that the
thief would not give up such a valu-
able animal so easily, Clark prepared
for his return. That night he staked
the mare out In a little park and con-
cealed himself In the tall grass near
by. After hours of waiting, the scout
saw an Indians head appear above
the grass at the edge of the clearing.
A second later another appeared and
both Indians crept toward the horse.
There was a full moon and Clark
could not miss. He fred and the first
Indian dropped. Like a flash the 9TH
err sped for the woods. "Walapai" fired
again. The Indian stumbled, almost
fell and then disappeared. When
Clark reached the dead Indian, he
found she was a squaw. The coward
ly Kid had made her go ahead so that
she would receive the deadly bullet
IL they were entering an ambush.
Clark knew better than TO hunt for
the wounded Indian that night. The
next morning he led a large party ON
the trail. Here and there they found
spots of blood and further on a bloody
headband. Bet they lever found the
Apache Kid. His fate is unknown, but
II is believed that he crawled away
into n of the many caves In the
Santa Catalinas TO die. At any rate,

Honor had compelled her to a gen

had maintained q big-sister attitude
that was as wholesome for herself as
for him.
But here, she thought with sudden
satisfaction, might be the realization
of her own ambition, after all. Ward

Ward would be Richard Carriers heir.

a pain split her forehead, and she felt
suddenly tired and broken.
Inward had gone acros to greet the
Bellamys; Harriet fixed her eyes

group was looking at him, too; Royal

was inspired to answer. PERSONALLY,
l should very much like 1t for Nina's
sake. But you suit yourself"
The tone denied the words Harriet
knew what she was expected to do.
"I1l be delighted to helpl" she said,
lifelessly. "A lot OF women and chill
dren," she reflected, "and nobody
drinking tea anyway, this weather !"
Nina was duly dressed for the tea
party the next day, and went to show
herself to her mother while Harriet
dressed. The young girl looked her
best In flmy white with its severely
plain ruffles, and with a wide white
hat on her thick, smoothly dressed
hair. Miss Field, too, although she
was very pale today, looked simply
gorgeous" as Isabelle expressed 1t,
when she saw them off In the car,
although Harriet's gown was not new,
and the little Powered hat she had
crushed down upon her splendid hair
had been Isabelle's own a season ago
Harriet vas In no holiday mood she
felt herself In a false position; this
was to be one OF the times when she
paid high for all the beauty and lux
ury of her life.
Here we are !" Nina gave a star
tied glance at the lawns and gardens
Of the Jay mansion already dotted
with awnings and chairs, and sprinkled
with the bright gowns of the first
arrivals. They were early, and their
hostess. a handsome. heavily built
woman with corsets like armorplate
under her exquisite gown, and a
blonde bang covering her forehead,
came forward with her daughter to
meet them. Francesca was as slight
as a willow, with q demurely dropped
little head and a honeyed little self
possessed manner.
Very decent of you. Miss Field !"
breathed Mrs. Jay, In a voice like that
Of a horn. you girls run along now
people will be comm at any minute.
I'm going to take Miss Field to the
table. Three hundred people COMM"
she confided as Harriet followed her
across the lawn, and to the rather
quiet corner of the awninged porch
where the tea table stood. "Pll leave
you here, and you just ask for anything
you need"
The matron melted away; Harriet
looked after her broad, retreating
back lndlfferently. She would have
loaned Harriet any amount of money,
the girl reflected, smoldering, she
would have shown her genuine friend
ship and generosity in a crisis. But
she would not introduce people to
Harriet this afternoon, and In a day
or two she would send Harriet a bit
Of lace, or a dainty waist, as a delicate
reminder that the courtesy had been
a business one, after all.
Presently the SUI came out for Har-
riet in the arrival Of a tall, swiftly
moving, dark-eyed woman some ten
years older than she was herself {:
Mary Putnam, one Of the real friends
the girl had gained in the last four
years. Young Mrs. Putnam, Harriet
used to think, with a little natural
jealousy under her admiration, had
everything. She was not pretty, but
hers was a distinguished appearance
and a lovely face; she had the self
possessed manner of a woman whose
whole life has been given to the social
arts; she had a clever, kindly, silent
