came when he received letter from

Willis who told him the Cheyennes
never heard of a chief named Yellow

there was a chief yellow Hair many
years ago.
Then, however, Sheldon received from
James Frew of Harrison, Ark, excerpts
from diary Frew kept as a soldier with

country. His entry for July II, 1875,
reads:

In recent years, much privately

have been transferred to the govern

pecially high timber production, and
they are generally very well located.
Their potential forest values render
imperative their quick restoration to
production through planting.
Better Than Nature
Desirability and feasibility, as well
as success of artificial foreStation IN
this region have been amply demon
strated during the last quarter Of a
century. A new timber stand started
by planting is often better than one
started naturally since uniform spac-

places and sparseness Of trees in others,
two conditions which occur naturally.

Sheldon "as for the hand to hand duel,
dad always considered it g. press agent
story for the Buffalo Bill show. He.
also said that he was positive that Buf-
falo Bill did not scalp Yellow Hand. -
Agrees With Frew
Sheldon said he was inclined to agree
with the Frew version.
Cody probably just fired with his
rifle and killed Yellow Hand" Shell
don said. 1.-THE latter embellishments
Of the knives, the scalping and the
shouting, probably just grew out of
fiction writer's fertile minds"
Cody was II years old when he died
and the celebrated Yellow Hand affair
occurred, If it did, when Bill was 81.
He fought in the Civil war as youth,
and controversy arose as to whether
he was spy for northern forces.
He rode for the pony express and In
1876 he won the sobriquet of Buffalo
Bill by killing thousands Of Buffalo to
feed railroad workers. His home was at
North Platte, Neb
In 1888 he went out with his first
wild west show and soon became an
idol Of Juvenile America. Later the
show toured the world. In 1914 the
show went into receivership and Cody's
health failed steadily until he died.
He is buried atop Lookout mountain,
near Denver.

was the great duel merely a press
agent story for Buffalo BilTs Wild
West show? William f. Cody died
I'm Denver, Jan 10, 1917. Today,
nearly 20 years after, the historic
arguments on the Yellow Hand
question continue as heatedly as
they did 20 years before Buffalo
Bill died.
DR.. Addison E. Sheldon. secretary
Of the Nebraska Historical society, re-
Gently sought to learn more about the
famed duel. A widely published AS
ISOLATED Press story brought him his
tory, curses, rambling Renaissance
and a few facts
The duel, the most frequently quoted
stories says, occurred on July II, 1876.
Cody was with a United States army
party sent out to avenge the massacre
Of the Little Big Horn in which
Gen. George Custer and his entire
force were slain by Indians June IS,
1876.
In the Hat creek country in wyo-
ming, Cody forces encountered an
Indian party. Then, so the story runs,
out in front of his tribe and shouted
a challenge to ''Pa-he-haska," Long
Hair, the colonel.
Scalps the Indian
The old tales say Cody accepted.
He rode out on his horse. Both Cody
and the Indian raised their rifles and
fired. Cody's shot dropped yellow
Hands horse and Cody's animal STUN
bled in a gopher hole and went down.
Both arose. Cody fired again, striking
Yellow Hand in the breast. Buffalo
Bill then rushed up, some historians
say, and finished the Indian with
his knife, scalping him.
Many historians cast doubt on the
story. Sheldon wondered about it. His
wonder was published and the answers
started rolling in.
Robert Jenkinson Hicks Of Roch-
ester, N. Y, wrote Sheldon that Mrs.
Cody years ago showed him a box
which contained all the items that
yellow Hand wore. plus his scalp,
pipe and instruments of war. She told
me. clearly remember, MIR. Cody
killed Yellow Hand"
On the other hand, is a letter from
Robert r. Peale of Denver which
said:
Mrs. Cody told Mrs. Peale and me
that the colonel did not kill Yellow
Hand, that it was good story and
would let it continue"
Peale said scalp, purported to be
that of Yellow Hand, was on exhibit
ton at the Cody museum on Lookout
mountain near Denver.
Begs for Scalp
Forbes Parkhill of Denver, said he
was told by Mrs. Otto Book, who
saw the fight" that after the chiefs
death his squaw came to beg for the
return of Yellow Hands scalp and
Cody refused to give it to her.
Otis E. Mann, Leavenworth, Kan,
attorney, told Sheldon he once asked
Cody if he ever killed an Indian.
II hope never killed any," Cody
replied.
Years after the affair, Gen. E. A.
Carr, a close friend of Buffalo Bill,
wrote letter to a friend in which he
described the duel and said Cody waved
yellow Hands scalp on high, shouting
1.-THE first scalp for Custer"
W. w. Garland of Los Angeles, wrote
a letter to Sheldon, explaining he was
with General Crooks forces at the
time of the Custer massacre. He said
Cody was with Crook in June and was
still with" Crook on Aug. 10.
For several days rode and talked
to him at various times. believe if Cody
killed Yellow Hand June II or there
after, I would have heard of 1t then"
