Recalls Memories of the Famous
Indian Outlaw.
HORSE LIVEDTO RIPE OLD AGE

An interesting and exciting bit of
history is called to mind by men
tion, in the Burns News, of the
death of a pony that was the favor
ite of "Captain Jack," the Indian
outlaw who was such an able fight
er and who kept the United States
soldiers so busy trying to run him
and bis band down in the early
days. Speaking of the death of the
pony, the News said:
"The old Indian pony, the prop
erty of Capt. Harrison Kclley, de
ceased, which was formerly the
property of 'Captain Jack' of lava
bed fame, died on Tuesday night
of this week without a struggle, at
the great age of nearly 43 years.
The pony, which has been a famil
iar figure in Burns for several years,
was captured from Captain Jack's
Indians by a squad ot Captain Kcl
ley 's soldiers and was presented to
Captain Kclley in 1873. The pony
was the favorite riding autmal of
Captain Jack and was noted for en
durance and graceful motion, show
ing the best of stock. He has been
tenderly cared for bv Mrs. Kclley
since the death of her husband."
