station, Nebraska, ;0n the then build
ing Union Pacific, two hundred and
thirty miles from Omaha, the Chey
ennes wrecked a hand-car carrying
William Thompson, head lineman, and
his crew of five, says Adventure Maga
zine. Thompson was shot through the
right arm, knocked down with a rifle-
butt, stabbed in the rfeck, and while
still conscious was scalped.
“I felt as if the wjiole top of my
head was taken right off,” he after
ward related.
When the Indian galloped away the
scalp slipped from his belt, and
Thompson crawled and got it. He ar
rived at Willow Island, fifteen miles
west, with the scalp in his hand, and
put it into a pail of water to keep it
moist. It was nine inches long and
four inches wideband “looked like a
drowned rat.”
At Omaha the doctors replaced it
upon his head and gave him hopes, but
it did not stick. He took it home with
him to England, but finally sent it
back to Dr. R. C. Moore of Omaha;
and it was placed on exhibition in a
ja r of alcohol in the Omaha Public
Library museum.

Edmundson, were fishing in Lodge Pole
creek, a mile and a half out of Sidney,
Nebraska.
The Sioux cut them off. Cahoon was
shot down and scalped. He recovered

1869 ran as passenger conductor out
of Ogden, Utah. He lived in Ogden for
some years. A street in that town
was named for him. He wore his hat
“well to the back of his head” by
reason of a, curious “bald spot.”—Ex

Novel Motor Canes.
It Is reported that a western man
has built a most unusual water craft
in the form of a motor canoe. He
took an ordinary canoe and placed In
the bog a detachable motorboat ar
rangement which pulls the canoe for
ward when the motor is operating re
versely. At the stern of the canoe
he rigged up an airplane propeller,
which is driven by a separate engine.
In order to insure safety, pontoons
were fastened on either side of the
craft, and the steering gear of both
motors was placed within easy reach
near the center of the canoe.
