CAPTURE ANDESCAPE
In June. 1887. while Gen. Caster, with
ills command, whs at the forks of the Be-
publican river, in western Kansas, and the
, Indian war had fairly begun, I was doing
dnty with several others, as a scout. On
the morning of the 10th a young man
named Eobinson reached the camp and re
ported that be with three others had bean
hunting to the west of us, and had been
stampeded by the Sioux Indians. One had
been killed, aa he believed, while the others
bad made a dan It for it and scattered, each
takiughisown course. Hobinson had blun
dered upon our camp after riding all night.
Coaler was at thin tiraejioneful of mak
ing paoe with the redskins, and the camp
At the forks would be permanent for at
least a fortnight. It was with this under
standing of the situation that 1 set out
with Kobtnon, after he had had an all
day's rest, to hunt up his stampeded com
panions and bring them in. We left camp
just after dark, both of as heavily armed,
and rode straight to the west. As I had
never seen Robinson under fire 1 was
more anxious t han if one of my fellow
scouts had been with me, but in the course
of a couple of hours I made up my mind
that he hud plenty of nerve and could be
depended on. As near as he could judge
his party was thirty miles west of the
forks when stampeded.' At midnight,
after an easy canter of five hours, we halt
ed, dismounted, and went into namp for
the remainder of the night, believing we
were close upon the spot where the hunters
; were attacked. Both of us slept from that
hour until just before sunrise.
As there is another Indian war now on,
and as the traits and characteristics of the
red man are nuder discussion, I shall relate
aome particulars which might otherwise be
suppressed. We had a cold bite for break
fast, and bad scarcely mounted our horses
when we caught sight of the carcass of a
horse lying on the plains about a quarter
of a mile away. As soon as we reached it
Robinson identified the animal as having
been the one he saw fail as the stampede
Iwgan, His rider was a man named Mc
Heury, who had previously been employed
as a civilian at Fort Lamed. The buzzards
aud wolves had been at the carcass, but
we made out that the horse had received
three buIUits and dropped in bis tracks.
.Saddle, bridle and all other portable prop
erty bad been removed. Kobinson esti
mated that the attacking party numbered
fifty. After half an hour's search X put
the number at twenty, He believed that
all who dawbod away were pursued. I
found that none of them had been followed
over hulf a mile.
Had McIIeury been killed or seriously
wounded by the volley which killed his
horse, his body would have been found ly
ing beside the carcass. As it was not I
ruasnned that lie had been captured Utt
hurt, and taken away a prisoner. The trail
of the Indians led to the north, as if mak
ing for the south fork of the PJatte river,
and we followed tt at a cautions pace. At
the end of live miles we came to the spot
where the baud had encamjwd for the
night. It was on the tanks of small
creek, in a scattered grove, aud the tlrnt
thing we saw was the dead body of Mc
Hrinry. The Bioux chiefs had declared
their anxiety for peace, and were profess
ing the greatest friendship for the soldiers.
Indeed, Pawnee Killw had visited Custer
to shake hands and sign a declaration of
peace. While the old hypocrite was de
claring and protecting, his whole tribe was
making ready for war and indulging in
atrocities. While the big chief was "how
howing" In Custer's camp and declaring
his love for the wh ite man, one of his bands
only thirty mileaaway was subjecting a
hunter to the most agonizing tortures.
They cut out his tongue, blew powder into
his body, cut off bis toes, broke all his
lingers, pricked him with knives, and
flu iiily ended by scalping him. He must have
suffered many hours before death fatally
came as a glad relief. The body was not
yet cold when we found it, and there were
evidences that the Indians had not beeu
gone more than an hourJ
Of the two who stampeded and got clear,
one went to the northeast and the other
to the northwest. Koblnson had held due
north and thus reached our camp, al
though he was not aware of its location.
We took up the trail of the one going to
the northeast, believing that he was in the
greatest danger. He went at a wild pace
for at least ten miles, never seeming to
have looked back, and discovered that pur
suit had been abandoned or to have
turned to the right or the left, to throw
the redskins off his route after darkness
came. It took tus three hours to cover the
distance he rode in one, as we expected to
see Indians at any moment. About twelve
miles from the spot where we found Mo
Henry's horse we came upon that of Jack
ton, whom we were following to the
northeast. The wild ride had exhausted
tbe animal, aud as he (fell down Jackson
had abandoned him and pushed along on
foot. Tbe animal was on his feet and
grazing as we found him, but so lame that
he could scarcely move. We removed the
saddle and blankets, and found Jackson's
revolvers in the holsters.
From this poiut we had no trail to guide
ua, and the ground was badly cut up with
ridges aud washouts. We rode forward
during the rest of the day, hoping to over
take the man, aud neglecting no precau
tion to insure our own safety. Just at
sundown wo followed a dry gully up a long
ridge and debouched from it, seeing a sight
which for the moment appeared to be an
optical delusion. There were Indians on
our right, on our left, In front, and 1
tnrned in my saddle to see other Indians
closing In behind us. As we halted aud
looked arouud us many of the redakins
expressed their humor by grants. They
had probably been ridtug to the right and
left of us for hours, aud had finally formed)
this eul do sac for us to ride into. It was
taking a great deal of pain for noUuuua
but the Indiau sameUiiios exhibits a queer
vein of humor. They wore not disappoint
ed in thinking we would be surprised.
It was fully two minutes before a chief
rode forward and said "Jlow-oow," and
extended his hand to me, and as ha did so
the whole body closed in. I am so unfort
unate as, to be marked on the left temple
with that birthmark known as a wims
stain, the spot, being, a large as a silver
dollar. My hat was well up and my hair
back as tbe chief rode up, and the instant
he noticed the" mark he let go my hand
and said something to those crowding up.
Pretty soon he pushed in and touched my
face, perhaps thinking the mark to be a
wound or sore, Others did the same, and
when they.found that it was a aart o-tha
skin they expressed much wonder and rev
erenoe. - . , --
While I had served as a scout only a few
months I knew considerable of Indian
character, and was not long in realiziug
that 1 had made a hit. ' While no violence
Was offered us we were disarmed, and our
horses were led behind the ponies of the
Indians as we moved off to the east. We
traveled until about midnight before halt
ing, and then reached an Indian village on
Soldier creek.- As we descended from our
horses, Robinson was led off "by two war
riors, 'while I woh conducted to the wig
wam of Red Trail, a sub-chief in com
mand during Pawnee-Killer's absence. I
had been busy planning during the ride,
and had made up my miud te pretend to
be without the pownr of speech. I found
opportunity to whisper to Robinson to
pursue the same policy, but unfortunately
ne had not the nerve to carry out the idea.
The fact of his being captured broke him
all up. Tbe recollection of what McHenry
must have suffered unstrung his nerves.
and I beard .him begging and entreating
as he wan carried away.
Red Trail closely examined the mark on
my face, and was as much mystified as the
others. . I still had a power in Reserve.
Having served through tbe war in, the
navy it was but natural that I should
carry a sailor's passport. On my left arm
was a tattoo representing an anchor. This
was seen as two warriors stripped my
buckskin shirt off to look for further
marks. Not an Indian in that camp had
ever seen anything like the mark, aud
when tbe examination bad been completed
1 felt sure that 1 was looked upon with
awe and mystery, If not veneration. I was
conducted to a tepee and motioned to turn
in, and had every reason to congratulate
myself on tbe plan I had pursued. , I had
made signs that I could not talk, and the
information had been accepted.
Next morning Pawnee-Killer arrived in
tbe village. He bad agreed to surrender
Mb' tribe and go on a reservation, but it
was bold faced lying on his part. His very
first move was to order the village to pack
up aud move back about twenty miles.
This consumed tbe entire day. As we were
ready to start I receivedmy horse to ride,
aud my bauds and legs were left entirely
free. I saw Robinson brought out, and be
was loaded down with kettles and led by a
rope. At no time during the day was he
near enough to exchange a word, but on
several occasions 1 saw him kicked and
beaten by tbe squaws and boys.
It was 9 o'clock in the evening before I
was taken into the presence of Pawnee
Killer. He seemed to have accepted the
lelief of the others, and in less than a
quarter of an hour waved me out of his
wigwam. I may state here what I learned
two or three years after. It was the belief
of the In'lians that I had been struck by
lightning as I slept, and that the fluid had
left the two marks to prove that I was in
vulnerable. They further reasoned that I
lost my speech at the same time, and was
therefore an object of veneration, I was
in no wise hampered or restricted, but I
fouud shelter as soon as possible, and whs
soon atrieep. I wanted to do something
for poor Robinson, but just how to do it I
conic1 not figure. Tbe treatment accorded
him during the day did not augur well for
tbe future.
When morning came again I had a hearty
breakfast, and then rtwo old men, armed
with only bows a i l arrows, took me down
the creek shout ii mile and then sat down
on tbe grass. It wasan hour or two before
I could make out the significance of the
move, but then I heard sounds from the
direction of tbe camp which satisfied me
that Robinson was being put to the torture.
One of my gnards soon left for the village,
and an hour later the other suddenly rose,
and without a word suddenly walked
away In the same direction. Unable to
make up my mind what to do, I remained
where I was during tbe entire day. In
later years I learned from one of tbe war
riors of the fate of Robinson. His tortures
lasted nine loug hours. He first ran the
gantlet. Then he was tied to a stake, and
every form of mutilation which the fiends
could invent was practiced on his pool
body. It was with great animation that
my informant related, how the poor fellow
begged and cried and entreated what
wonderful vitality he had how he could
have been preserved an hour or two longer
had noteverybody grown tired of the sport.
It was Pawnee-Killer himself, tfresh from
signing a treaty of peace, who exhibited
the most fiendish spirit. '
I had a much1 closer .call than I. knew.
The two old men who -took me oat
doubted that I was what the others took
me for. They had some arrows made on
purpose to kill witches and keep off bad
spirits, and they were to take me off and
see if these arrows would 'kill me. JCn go
log down the creek-one of them came near
stepping on a rattlesnake; and this was
taken as a sign that they must not shoot.
When they returned to the village and re
ported it Washoped that I would go away,
and therefore no one came near me. As
night fell I started off to the west, expect
ing every moment' to be overhauled, put
ting in a good twenty miles before day
light. I was picked up by a scouting party
of cavalry just before noon.
It was about three months after my es
cape before the Indians learned that I was
a government scout, and that they had
been duped. Red Trail and Pawnee-Kill ex
then offered five ponies each to the warrior
who should bring in my scalp, and for the
next year perhaps I was "wanted" more
than any other mau on the plains. It was
a curious. turn of affairs that, while Red
Trail had no less than five of his best war
riors out on an expedition after me, I crept
into his camp one night and secured his
own scalp lock, ride and pony and got
nway. New York Bun,

Helping Witness.
One of the most important characteris
tics of Mr. Thomas Hughes (Tom Brown)
is his kindness to anybody in difficulty, A
short time ago a Stockport tradesman
wrote to him requesting advice on a mat
ter of business. Tbe judge sent a kindly
and exhaustive reply, covering several
sheets of foolscap. In bis county court da
ties be often manifests sympathy with the
working classes. Inthe Ash ton-underline
county court a few years back-to
take one example out of many a laborer
brought an action under the employers'
liability act for the loss of a limb.
When the plaintiff entered tbe witness
box the opposing barrister subjected him
to a merciless badgering. Over and over
again the poor fellow had to explain how
the accident in dispute happened; every
time the barrister "could not understand,"
though to everybody else in court the thing
was clear enough.. At length the judge,
seeing how matters stood, said to. the
plaintiff: .',
"You had better address your answer to
me." '
"But, your honor," said the man, I
can't make him understand."
"That's an impossibility," said Judge
Hughes, laughingly; "you may make me
understand, but you won't make him."

A Gold Weapon
The brass knuckle ring is the newest
delight of tbe delightful young man who
feels that he must go armed, you know,
but cannot condescend to anything quite
so low as a pistol or a knife. It is a gold
band, fully an inch deep and appropri
ately thick, meant to betwora instead of a
"knuckle" on the little finger of the strik
ing hand and deep set with several more
or less precious stones to give it an inno
cent and ornamental appearance. This
weapon is quite effective when well laid
on, and its beveled edges and corrugated
surface are calculated to leave scars. New
