frontier scout and the last of the real
two-gun "cross arm draw" experts,

shaft at the Omaha World-Herald
plant, where he was employed as night
watchman.
Lone Star began his career as
plainsman at the age Of sixteen when
he left home to search for brother
kidnapped by Sioux Indians. He devel-
oped the 'cross arm draw" until he
was without peer, and this skill he
retained even In his old age. He never
touched trigger, but used his thumb
to revolve the hammer of his single
action revolver, In fanlike action. He
often declared he could fire his single
action six times before anyone armed
with modern automatic pistol could
fire half that many shots.
Lone Star broke into fame first In
1875 in the "Hole In Walw country,
Powder river. Wyoming, when, single
handed, he shot and killed "Shack-

~ OLUMBUS, O.-Few persons In

city has the distinction Of
listing among Its citizens man for

officially named by the United States

rendered to Col. Edward Orton, Jr..
more than year ago. but It remained
for an exhibition Of paintings at the
Columbus Gallery of Fine Arts to
bring It to light.
In the exhibition Is painting Of a

visited the region which has since
been made a national park. The pur-

In all the plans 1t Is assumed that In
1926 Peter Minuit, first Dutch director
general Of New Netherlands, arrived,
and bought the Island of Manhattan

why:
