"I'll always say It was a ren
egade cowpuncher who shot
me," he said. "It was just a flesh
wound."
Three years ago on his birth
day 70 years after he earned it
Windolph was awarded the
purple heart medal.
He was granted the medal of
honor because he stayed on his
feet after being shot and carried
through the mission for water.
Windolph said nobody could
take Custer's bravery away from
him, even if he was a "fool."
He had a word for the Sioux.
too.
"They were the touehest ones
to whip," he said.
Custer's Last Stand Survivor
Blames Disaster on Split
Lead, S. D., Dec. 13 (U.R) The only living survivor of Custer's
Last stand celebrated his 98th birthday Friday by recalling Gen
George A. Custer as a "bullheaded fool."
Charles A. Windolph said the famed battle of the Little Big
Horn wouldn't have been lost if Custer hadn't split his command
and led a handful of 7th cavalry-
troops against the dread Sioux,
"That Custer was rough,
b u 1 1-headed and extremely
brave," the old Indian fighter
cackled.
"He ordered his men to do the
Impossible and then went along
with them to try it"
Actually, Windolph is pretty
proud that he followed the dash
ing Custer into "impossible"
brushes with the savages, and
prouder still that he is the na
tion's oldest holder of the Con
gressional medal of honor.
His birthday celebration was
quiet. He planned to have din
ner with his daughter, Mrs, C. G.
Fehlman, and her family.
Windolph has little interest in
the atom bomb or communism,
but will talk about Custer's last
battle at the drop of an old cam
paign hat.
Still, ho recalls an earlier
skirmish in which he led a 13
wagon supply train through In
dian bands as the "toughest" he
ever fought.
"Only thing that saved us waB
that those Redskins thought the
wagons were full of Infantry,"
he said.
Windolph was first sergeant
of company H of the 7th cavalry
and missed death on the bluffs
of the Little Big Horn river be
cause of the split command.
Company H had been dis
patched to aid of Maj. Marcus
Beno, who had been besieged on
one sector of the battlefield
while Custer and his 278 men
were being wiped out in another
area.
During ono phase of the fam
ed battle of July 26, 1876, Win
dolph was hit by a .45 calibre
slug while covering fellow
troopers who were on a danger
ous mission seeking water for
the wounded and dying.
Ward Party Charged
$7000 for China Ride
Aboard Lakeland Victory off
Taku Bar, Dec. 13 (U.R) Consul
General Angus Ward said today
the communists charged him and
his party $7000 U. S. money for
the 500-mile train ride from
Mukden to Tientsin and to move
their baggage.
Ward said he and the 19 others
in the group had to travel in
ancient third class coaches,
equipped only with wooden
benches and without water.
Mimi Boomhower
Officially Missing
Los Angeles, Dec. 13 (U.R)-
cialite Mimi E. Boomhower, who
disappeared mysteriously Aug.
18, was officially declared a
"missing person" today by Su
perior Judge Newcomb Condee.
It seems impossible Mrs.
-So-
tified by the Boise office of the
veterans administration that one ' '
Timothy Cottrell, who borrowed I '.
Frey's identity, is to be tried for
fraudulently obtaining money
under false pretenses.
Officials have ruled, however,
that Cottrell's former wife and
children may keep the name of
Frey.
Said the real Frey: "Now that
I have another family with my
name and official identity, I
only wish I could claim them
as income tax deductions, too."
Cottrell had been attending a
detective school under Frey's
G. I. bill of rights benefits. He
retained the borrowed identity
lor three years.
During that time, records
showed, he was married, di
vorced and was manager of a
Boise shoe store. He later served
a sentence in the McNeill Island
federal prison. The veterans ad
ministration took him into cus
tody when he was released from
prison this month.
Boomhower could be in hiding
it could be presumed she is dead
but due to lack of positive proof,
it is best to declare her missing "
Condee said in a hearing on her
?45,uuu estate.
