for a big price. The money was evenly
divided, and the II trappers' proceeded
to have a huge carousal that lasted
for several weeks.
Meet Kit Carson
A few weeks later Killbuck and La
Bonte threw in with a company of
trappers headed for Taos, N. M, a
visit to Taos being the only civilized
relaxation coveted by the mountain
GERS. In this band were many famous
frontierSmen, including Dick Wooton,
who died in Colorado 40 years ago;
RUDE Herring, Marcelline and Chabo-
nard. Not one of these trappers meas
ured less than 6 feet 6 inches in height.
Killbuck and La Bonte were almost Of
equal size. The smallest man in stature,
but first in every other quality that
made the free trappers famous, was
Kit Carson, paragon Of the mountain
men and the most famous frontiers
man of them all.
Slight of build and slenderly limbed,
with fair hair and quiet manner, none
who did not know Carson would ever
suppose that he was a very devil in
an Indian fight and had raised more
hair from the heads of redskins than
any other two men in the western

reputation.
Trappers Reach Taos
When the trappers reached Taos,
they rode Gathering down the street.
while the dark eyes of the senoritas
followed them, and the owners OF the
eyes began at once to make prepare

which always followed the advent OF
the mountaineers. The men of the
town were not so pleased and leaned
Sulkily against the walls, their serapes
turned over their left shoulders and
concealing the lower part of the face.
The women found the dashing noun

men hated the intruders and looked
on them with jealous eyes.

the odds were beginning to tell against

three long thick legs. Selling this, he
tore off the legs, which were soon In

Cooperation Is Urged
To Move Army Traffic

Cooperation of the driving and
walking public in facilitating acci-
dent-free and efficient movement of
Army highway units was urged today
by the American Automobile Asso-
citation.
In many instances, Thomas P.
Henry, president of the motor club,
pointed out, civilian drivers en-
countering mechanical units on
highway maneuvers did not know
exactly what was expected of them.
The following suggestions, ap-
proved by the War Department,
have been advanced by the A. A. A.
in order to have motorists under
stand just what they can and can
not do in relation to the movement
of military units:
1. Do not attempt to break
through or pull alongside moving
columns. Mr.. Henry explained that
in passing through cities, military
conveys may go through stop lights
and stop signs.
2. When encountering a convoy in
the city, pull off to one side of the
street in the same manner as when
an ambulance or fire engine is ap-
preaching.
3. When approaching an intersec-
ton on the open highway through
which an Army vehicle is moving,
slow down and determine whether
any additional vehicles are coming
before driving through.
