Adventures of Black Sam
Oregon "Bull Ffunchet"
1 1 y . . . . . .
This Story of Historical Interest to Eastern . Oregon,
An Installment to Be Printed Weekly by The
Evening Observer, Is Told by SanV '
Ayotte to Jack Hunter' of
A The Park. : .
(Hy Jack Hunter).
When I first mot Ayatto he was
74 yoara young. I say young, ,1m
caus, ho hut not a grey hair on
his head., nor in his heavy mous
tache. And with thttt find dark
complexion, ho possessed, I would
have judged him not to puss the
I'ortiwi. This was in 1SS, ho Sam
was quite u kid in tho day of forty
nino. H will ho host remembered
by the ohlost living pioneers by
tholr own appellation given htm of
ftluok Sam the Bull Puncher."
And that was his early profession
drlvlnf? oxaii pulling largo freight
wagons.
Ono of the first in the gold Holds
of Oall for ii la from there Sam plied
his trade, along the Old Oregon
Trail to points In Oregon, Wash
ington,, Idaho and Montana.
He told of a branch trail start
ing near Poratello by tho way of
Dillon, on to Silver How and Alder
Gulch, Montana ; while another
branch left the main trail near tho
I Tint) t Ilia river not fur from Pen
dleton, on through Walla Walla
HpoUunn Kails, Wash., across Ida
ho to Bonner's Ferry' ond to 'West
urn Montana.
He claimed to have spent 12
years steady freighting from Cali
fornia to Montana, and In that
time he made four' round trips
from Astoria to various points oast
us far as Olds Ferry on the Main
Old Oregon Trail. Ho had slarlod
this on his own "hooks" sometime
in isr.n.
Fain loft Now York State an n
poor farmer's boy: nil ho seomod
to know was driving oxen. IMu
catlnn he did not know A from B
but he spoke French and Eng
lish, soon learning tho Spanish and
several Indian lingoes; and later,
not long after his activities as a
freighter, he bossed a gang of
Chinamen on railroad construction
work, and learned to speak the
Chinese . fluently. He steadily
amassed a fortune . right around
the $100,000 mark, , , . ,
Ho never married. And this was
ono of my first questions: "A man
of your , character and ability
should be married, why didn't
you?"
He started then to tell my why,,
but ' we had several Interesting
meetings before I got the final
denouement of his love romance." It
wns near five years that It took me

"Well, sir. when I wns a kid Place on the trail. I took many pns
'daown horn' my father was a poor (sengers such as prospectors and
man and we had some awful hard 'Ikes. - Well my. rear wagon was
times. Mother wus white haired , partly unloadod, and believe me
long before she Bhould have, bean, that man unpUckoU the burro put
all duo to hard work, hearing chtl- the stuff in tho wagon and asked
dren and worries. I made mysolflmo to help him put that burro in
this promise:, 'Sam, you will never'loo! I laughed until my sides
marry until you have a comfortabloj would burst and I helped him put
home for your wife before you on-
slave a woman with poverty.' And
that very promise I believe was the:
cause of never mnrrylng. For when
I decided to come west, I told my
"girl," Lizzie Powers, thai if she
loved me as much as X did her, she1
would wait until I had a home pre
pared for her. With that and a
last sweet kiss I left her crying In
her mother's arms.
"I never heard of her for four
years after. And she had been true
and firm to her promise. So with
much loneliness I determined that
as she had waited that long she
would wait an Indefinite time, but
I must make that home for her.
She was worth It, And I was happy
to think that I had someone who
would never forget 'Black Sam.
"Time has ,a tremendous effect
on love affairs. It was not long
after that I hod a chance of my
life. It was my second stop at what
is known ac Scappoose City, Ore
gon. I met there, a regular merry
widow, Mrs. Carter, who ran a
place, sort of a boarding house.
She wns making money, hnd money
and was pretty ond llvoly. She be
gan at once setting her nets for me
and I knew It. This time I hud to
make a stay of two or three days
and the widow, with a cunning
way known only to widows got me
a 'lookln sideways.
"Now nfter a man hat" worked
hard ot this game for over four
years, th chance of getting a good
lively woman with plenty of money
will very rarely he refused. I knew
she was a good woman, straight
as a pin. So she got me so nerved
up that I told her I would lot hor
know the next morning before I
would pull out of camp. We hod It
arranged that It would be my last
trip. Roll out my outfit and til;e
it easy running a hotel.
'Rut that night, to toll you the
truth. I was nervous. And 1 prayed
' for the first time In two years.
(That night, yea sir, I prayed ond
asked for advice. And would you
j believe me, I dreamed that I was
home and Lizzie was thorn and they
'were all so glad to see me. I woke
up all in a swoftt.
I "That morning I never went near
'the widow. T pulled out nil of an
jhour earlier than I Intended. The
next time I stopped there the wid
ow had married an Irishman the
name of Jack Gallagher, a pros
pector. "It was on that trip also, that an
incident happened to me. I had to
go out of my way round about
from the main trail to a little place
called Reaverton now, I believe, on
the Willamette rlvor not so very
far from Portland. Anyway, there

"I felt this way about It. I had
1R yokes of first class animals left,
lour gooil saddle horsos and two
fine dogs, and five fairly good wa
gons. Ionovan had two yokes of
bulls, one saddle horse and no dogs
and two poor rickety wagons and
his wife and six klda to support!
If I had given them the whole out
fit I would have been better off
than he would.
"That night such thougha were
In my mind. And I also believed
that I should do somebody a good
turn, bora use If there Is such a
thing as a Providence, it had surely
been good to me. I slarlod In Cali
fornia in the first place, I was
working for a bum outfit who went
broke six months after, and nil I
was left with was two yokes of
poor bulls and one not too good
wagon for my pay. And - I had
steadily Increased this until I had
a first class outfit all my own and
all paid for. Howover it was not

off the trail to let me pass.
The man told me that ho had. to
reach a certain place as soon as
possible. Two other fellows were
waiting for him to go out Into the
hills prospecting. He begged me to
take him and his outfit along, for
Ills burro was completely locoed.
And he seemed to bo dead In love
wtfh that Jack. It kind of peeved
me so that I told him:
"Well X guess 1 can take you,
burro and pill" ; .
"I always loaded my , wagons bo
that when-doltovermg freight I un
loaded the back wagons. I run a
good deal like a local freight train

I took and unloaded
the thing in. And that burro rod

We camped that night not many
miles from where' I pinked him up.
The next day about an hour after
we had left camp my five wagons
went down mired to the hubs.
"I never wns In such a predica
