' j Foastmasttfr Tweedy Is a right peaceful-looking man. but 50 years ago Thomas Jefferson Tweedy was a fighter and' could now tell some thrill- j Ing tales of Indian border warfare, it j he weren't so modest. He was with; General "Yellow Hair' (Custer) when i the latter, led the Xineteenth Kansa cavalry In March of 1869 through a ' Kaasas desert where rations were so i scarce the men Killed and ate thelj pack mules. In order to force a band I of between 1S00 and 1500 Cheyennt ! to give up two white women whom j they held captive. One of these was j a 17 year old girl named Miss White, whose brother, Charles, formerly lived j In the Pilot Rock country. . The command lived nearly a month on five day's rations but accomplish ed Its object, that of rescuing the cap tives without ransom, and bringing back thare Indians, Dull Knife, Fat Bear, and Big Head to be held as thumb screws on the treacherous Cheyennes. It had marched 22 nll for every day out, the weather always 'reeling, without tents, cooking uten slle, beds or salt Its sole eubsistance two thirds of that time, mules that had starved to death. . The Nineteenth Kansas regiment was organised on October 11, 1809 and passed into history on the 18th day of April, 1869. , Though no bloody battles Were fought. Its two campaigns conquered the five wild Indian tribes of the southern plains. The Cheyen nes, Arapahoes, Klowas, comanches. and the plains Apaches were forever pledges to peace. ' Lieutenant-general Sheridan, In discussing that winter's work privately four years later, suld that for difficulties surrounding It, and hardships and suffering Involved. there was no parallel In the history of our army. At the time Mr. Tweedy went thru the hard campaigns of the Nineteenth Kansas, he was only 18" years old, com ing from Illinois to Kansas to enlist His official job was being orderly to the first lieutenant. He was born on farm at Staunton, Illinois and his people, for they prided themselves that but one or two members of the family were ever anything but staunch democrats. After the border war, Mr. Tweedy went back to Illinois, where he stay ed until 1876 when he came to Cali fornia. In the spring of 1880, he came to Umatlllacounty and has made his home here ever since. . He settled first near Pilot Rock and one of the most Important things he did while 10 that neighborhood was to get married. Miss Laura J. Levens consented to become Mrs. Tweedy In 181. Mr. and Mrs Tweedy have had five children, but one of whom, Mrs. Delia C Bon ney, is still living. One daughter. Mrs George Kennedy, was killed by a train in this city just a year ago this month. Mr. and Mrs. Tweedy came to Pen dleton In 1896. and Mr. Tweedy form ed a partnership with Walter M. Plerco now a democratic candidate for gover nor, and they farmed on the Umatilla reservation. Following that venture, he was In the meat market business In the city with Ross Carney and Luther Ramsdale for four or five years. He became postmaster four years ago this July, succeeding James Brown. This story Is about Postmaster Tweedy, but he' has an aunt who's going to be put in right at the finish as an example to the young Jadles of today, for stories ought to end with a moral, anyway. She Is 81 years old and has never worn a corset nor ft ladles' hat in her life. She was 79 years old beVore she ever rode on a train- Her name Is - Mrs. Caroline Best and she lives at Santa Ana, California.
