Stories of B, Elmo
Great Scouts wss.e.
g. Western Newspaper Union.
EDGAR S. PAXSON, THE SCOUT
WHO WAS A PAINTER

Col. Edgar s. PaXson was Il o
who became a painter. He worked
Tor 20 years on one painting before
1t was completed, and when the old
scouts masterpiece was done, it was
declared to be the most accurate pie
ture of Clusters last battle ever
painted. 1t made Paxson famous.
Paxson was a New Yorker who
went to Montana in the early seven
ties. He became a %cowpuncher, Il
hunter and trapper. When Chief Jo-
seph led his Nez Perez warriors on
their 1.O00-mile dash for freedom in
1877, PaXson enlisted as a scout with
the United States troops ana served
with them until Chief Joseph was cor
nered in the Bear Paw mountains and
surrendered to General Miles.
After the Nez Perez wal was over
Paxson returned to Deer Lodge,
Mont, and opened a studio. He had
always wanted to paint pictures and
he took for his subjects the things
be knew best cowboys, Indians,
hunters and trappers. Then he con-
ceived the idea of a painting of the
greatest Indian battle in American
history-Custer's last fight with the
Sioux and Cheyennes on the Little
Big Horn.
For years Paxson gathered infor-
nation about the battle. He went
the battlefield again and again until
he was familiar with every foot of II
he talked with Indians who had fought
against Custer, and he sought officers
and men who had served with Reno
and Benteen to get their stories of
the fight. He learned everything he
could of the position Of every man in
the Seventh cavalry on that fateful
day in June 1876.
Paxson was engaged seven years
in the actual painting of the picture
His work was interrupted during this
time by his service In Cuba during
the Spanish-American wal and In the
Philippines. After the war was over
he returned to his work and the pic
ture vas completed.
In this painting Paxson showed the
figures of more than 200 soldiers, In
dians and scouts. 1t contained the
portraits of SO members of Clusters
command painted from photographs.
Every detail of the battle was shown
historically accurate, so far as 1t is
possible to know how Custer and his
men persisted. The painting has been
on exhibition in the largest cities OF
the United States and 1t now hangs
in the library of the Montana Stare
university at Missoula. 1t is valued
81 $4,000.
In 1873 Paxson laid down the
scouts rifle to take up the painters
brush. Forty-one years later he laid
down the brush. Colonel Paxson died
in Missoula. November o. 1919.

In the 500. cities and communities
where there is a First Glass Council
OF the Boy Scouts of America. and in
the literally thousands of other dis
tricts where there are either Second
Glass Councils or Lone Scout Troops
not under council, there is going on
at this time a great concerted orga-
nized effort TO make the benefits of
the Scout Program reach an increase
OF ESQ. or 100000 more boys. by Feb
ruary. In that month, from the Sth to
the 18th, there will be celebrated An
niversary Week. which denotes the
Thirteenth Birthday of Scouting in
this country. It is sincerely hoped
that there will be a larger member
ship than aver before, namely, half a
million at that time. Communications
and reports are pointing to success.
The latest reports show that, although
the Roundup has only been in pro.
gress for less than a month. over
$4,000 new members have already
been pledged. Scout authorities from
Oakland, California. say: we have
set as our goal an increase of 1000

these are only a few of the enthusiast

in membership of Scouts is largely de-
pendent upon the most important fac
tor, which is leadership. It is not so
much a question of getting the boys
IS of getting competent leaders of
character, who will give time as scout
masters and assistants.

him into a big automobile. He was

beaten to death. and then told to get
out of town with the nurse whom he
had left his wife for sometime ago.
He was given two weeks warning and
he paid no attention to the letter, but
as he has been given three days more

rehabilitation he returned to the
farm, but in 1919 was summoned to

With peace in tho Near East
only few weeks old, and the
nations Of Europe still turbu-
lent and FESTIVE from the world
war, the grim shadow of a new
conflict appeared upon the ho-

Italy sent an ultimatum TO
Greece demanding PREPARATIONS
and an apology for the killing
Of General Tellini, the Italian
head Of the. allied commission
for the delimitation Of the Al
bantam frontier, and four Of
Tellini's colleagues.
As soon as the ultimatum
was sent, reports Of naval and
troop movements began to pour
out of Italy, and Premier Nus
solini was said to be making
war plans with military and
naval officials.
Advices from London said
that the allied statesmen were
opposed to another war and
that the League of Nations
might be invoked to maintain
peace.
