CALIFORNIA JOE

ERO of more than one dime
Ia novel thriller, nevertheless there
once vas a real California joe"
Gen. George A. Custer, for whom he
once served as chief of scouts,
writes of him in MY Life on the
Plains" as follows: He was known
by the euphonlous title of California
joe; no other name seemed ever
to have been given him and no other
name ever seemed necessary" But
Custer was wrong, for JOe's real
name was Moses E. Miner.
He was born in Kentucky in 1929,
ran away from home at the age of
fourteen to seek adventure in the
West and during the next twenty
five years found plenty of it as a
prospector and miner in California,
Montana and in the Black Hills of
South Dakota; as an Indian fighter
and as a scout and guide for army
officers during the Indian wars in
the sixties and seventies.
Miner got his name Of California
Joe thus: One day in 1862 when he
was riding into Virginia City. Mont,
some inquisitive strangers asked
him where he was from. Miner,
who was an inveterate joker, re-
Piled, From California, where most
of tho GOLD is" Next they asked
him his name and Miner, resenting
their curiosity, told them it was
Joe. "All right" they replied,
"Well just call you California Joe,
if you are from that state" And
that was the name he bore to the
day Of his death in 1876 when he
was assassinated by an enemy near
Fort Robinson, Neb.
