OF THE PLAINS"

One day back In the sixties a tr.,n.
per was following narrow
through the woods near Cedar ..uun.
tain, In Wyoming, Suddenly from a
clump Of bushes nearby a shot rang
out, followed in quick succession by
three more. The trapper dropped
quickly to the ground and rolled be.
hind log, unhurt. Then he waited
Tor the next move of the Indians who
had ambushed him.
In few minutes war bonnet an.
peared above a log a short distance
away. The trapper was not deceived,
for this was an old Indian trick.
However, the trapper had a better
trick than this up his sleeve. His
rifle was not a single shot, for after
Il winter of successful trapping he had
sold his furs In st. Louis and had
bought repeating rifle, one of the
first to be carried in the Rocky noun
talns. He had this weapon now. and
he Immediately fired, as the Indians
were hoping he would do.
As he fired fsur Indians sprang from
the bush and with wild yellS of trl-
umph rushed for the trappcr. With.
out removing his gun from his shoul-
der, the white man pumped bullets at
oncoming warriors as fast as he could
work the lever.
Three uf the Indians drnpppd in
their tracks and the fourth, with a
howl of dismay, turned and fed at Top
speed, followed by several bullets.
which the trapper sent after him to
encourage the fleeing redskin. When
the surviving warrior arrived In his
village he fold a marvellous tale of an
encounter with white man who had
q medicine gun" which never stopped
shooting and killing.
In this way DIR. w. F.. Carver, the
trapper who had been ambushed. won
the name Of THE Evil Spirit of the
Plains" for the Indians learned to
fear him and his medicine gun as they
did no other trapper who invaded their
hunting grounds. When the trapping
days ended. Dr. Carver became a scout
and guide for the United States army,
and during the Sioux war of 1S7G-77
he made the acquaintance Of buffalo
Bill" Cody.
The two scouts became fast friends.
When Buffalo Bills Wild West show
was organized Carver joined ii as a
sharpshooter. lie could handle rife
or pistol almost as skillfully as Cody
himself, and for many years the two
scouts appeared in the arena together.

The above dicision was in the case

davits referred to.
The men who make these affida-
Wits worked for Bryan County and it
had no. money to pay them. The
claims bore no interest and no bond
or warrant was or could be issued.
No one knew when they could be paid.
These men had to have their money or
stop working and let the road work
stop. Several other citizens of good
standing assisted others who worked
for the County and had like claims.
