(BY MAHY GKKINKK)

OHKiKted with the wagon greasing.
There were J GO wagons with eight
yoke of oxen upieee eight yoke
for every wagon and Its trailer, a
train that would, according to the
pioneer reach uh fur jim from Jack
sonville to Medfoid, a Hlri-tch of
five miles.

"When W( camped, we unhitched
the oxen and made a corral with
the wagons" he said. "Hometlrnes

I.em Wilson paused awhile musing
on the old days and tils first trip
nwny from home, and finally broke
Into a broad grin as he recalled
another Incident of his inexpert-
once.

for the younger generation. An
Jein himself explained It, or rattier
dismissed It:
".My father was hiillhcftricd. I
was 11 chip off the old block. I
told him 1 was tired of the farm
and tired of slaving from daylight
until durk for nothing more than
my bonrd and keep, and that I
was leaving. His said L wasn't. 1
went."
Having never been off the farm
before, except to ride occasionally
for the mall, tite lad made his way
to St. Joe, Missouri, and goo aboard
ttie steamer to Omnlwi.
"Kit'Ht time I'd ever been away
from home, and say I wan green,"
lie Huid, his nose ph'kiiig up anoth
er humorous wrinkle iin he re
counted his first adventure, mil In
the world.
A T-llnno Iltrtluuark
"When 1 sat down to eat In the
dining room of the hoaL the stew
ard crime up and tapped me on tho
shoulder and said, 'Where's your
rout, young man?' I told him It
was In (ho stnto room, which was
ft lie. I didn't have what you
might call n coat never had been
off the farm long enough to get
une. Well, the upshot of it was
thul he took me to his own room
and rigged mo up for supper, l
never forgot to wear my coat to
meals after thai."
l.em Wilson stretched his right
hand out and pointed out a brown
birthmark about an inch long, JI
resembled a perfect miniature rut
of T-bone steak with u while
Htreuk thru the center.
"Kunny, isn't it Y Never could
stand beef of nny kind, or Imag
ined I couldn't" he sold, "Well,
what should that steward order for
me but a great big T-bone steak. I
' looked at It, and thought my hour
had eonie. I couldn't Imagine out
and out refusing to cat what was
set before me. so J ale around and
around It, and kept getting hun
grier and hungrier.
"I-'lnully J told myself, 'Lorn, if
' you eat (Ills steak you'll file. And
if you don't eat It, you'll die of
starvation. Bo you might tis well
die fighting, und have the good
will of the people around you.'
About that time, I felt the black
eyes of the steward upon mti and
I lit Into that stouk fit to kill the
first Id ever lasted In my life.
I'm still alive." The hand with
the T-bone birth mark stroked the
rising corners of a humnroiiK
mouth back Into a serious line.
When the lad reached Omaha,
ho decided to look for work and
was wandering about the city when
ho spied a bull train In tho process
of being hitched up. Near It stood
a tall, gray-haired man or about
(ifi. with tt long flowing while
beard. Ills plercinK blue yes were
intent upon the crew of workers
before Mini. The Kansas hid walk
ed past him a few times and finally
mustered up courage enough to
nsk him for a Job.
The man was Alexander Major,

my horror, I didn't seem to get uny
nearer than when J started. 1
didn't want to turn back, but it
was getting late and 1 knew they'd
want to be starting on with the
train. Ho I picked up what fuel
J could find on the way and stag
gered back to the camp disgusted.
"Hupper was over when I got
there, and they were all hitched
up to start on. The crowd all hail
the laugh on me and guyed me fil
to kill. An old man In the crowd
fixed me a hasty meal und when I
had a few gulps down he said,
'Well Lem, If we go IS miles a day
for five days, we'll be up to those
mountains and you can get all the
wood you want, so cheer up.' He
lianded me my lash and we started
on." The pioneer explained that
the lashes used on the oxen woro
from 18 to 1!(J feet long, with short
bundles.
ys u "Toy Pistol
Before starting out on the trip,
In Omaha, the Kansas boy decided
that lie lind better tut armed, so
he went Into a store and bought
hlin a pistol, What was his cha
grin when ho got onto Ihe plains
in discovering that all the others
In the party carried big guns! Ho
he kept his pistol under cover until
the train arrived nt North Platte,
a town where all the business was
done from tents.
Hlipping away from his associ
ates, ho wandered thru the tent
lined streets and discovered a well
dressed man stunding on u corner,
apparently engrossed in deep
thought, Lem walked up to him
and asked him In as few words as
possible if hn would like to buy a
six-shooter. The man wheeled
around, glared at Hie boy and
finally snapped mil :
"Yes. There's u snn-of-a-gun
across the street that I want to
kllll" The startled Kansas bid's
eyes bulged, be gulped a couple of
times, and automatically pulled IiIn
little gun from his pocket and
handed It to the man. A look of
Incredulity crep into the eyen of
tho stranger, as he handled (he
gun, turning it around several
times and filially holding it up be
tween him and the sun. ills eyes
then wandered back to the gaping
boy which lie now apparently re
garded as a curiosity.
"What dlil you call this, my
son?" hu asked.
"Thai's a pistol" returned Lem;
whereupon the man shook his
head solemnly and htinded hack
the gun.
"Young man, If you ever shoot
me with that thing, and I catch
you at it, I'll wear out tho ground
with you. Never show that thing
lo a while man again" he said. j
The Iliml-Hollcil West
Froin here, the Jacksonville I
man's story centered around I'led-
month, reputed to be the hardest
place in the west. The Union Pa
cific railroad was being construct
ed and the town was full of dere
licts of all sorts who followed the
work. Dance halls, gambling
limine and saloons made up the
life of tho place and afforded
color and recreation to the weary
travelers across the plains.
It was at Piedmont where the
Alexander Major crew were paid
tor the first lime. The Kansus lad i
received $7G a month and hoard on
the trip, which was considered an
extremely large Balary In those
days. Neve nil hours before the
train arrived Lem heard the men
discusMlnn with considerable an
ticipation (he various attract Ions
of tho place.
The old man who bad fed Lem,
after his umuiccessful altempl to
walk lo the Hocky mountains de
cided right then lo take the boy
under his wing und 'put him wise
to Piedmont.' After reviewing the
various dance halls, he told the
boy that the bunch would probably
all go to Jlmmle Heed's place.
Jimmle was an ex-prle fighter
and was ncconuuodat lug about let
ting the customers settle their dis
putes as they saw fit. At this
point In the story, the pioneer took
his wide hriiiifiiiMl straw hat off
and mopped his brow uh if in n.
Hues- I ueipation or the ensuing struggle.
"I began to envy the other boys
'who could go up and ask them to
i dance in such an easy way. It was
i .'91 so new to me, und I was carried
'away by the music und bright col-
ors and the movement of the
j crowd around and around. Then
all of a sudden I heard a shot and
another shot and I came back to
m senses.
"I remembered what Ras had
told me, and I stood my ground.
The lights went out. Thero were
more shots and screams, and I

Kighteen years later, Lem Wil
son was telling this Incident to a
man in Idaho, ut the end of which
the man burst out laughing, reach
ed out his hand nnd said: 'Well
Lem, I've often wondered what had
become of the boy who sat In the
corner.' The man had been one of
tin bull whackers on tho train.
After the six months were up.
und (ho snow began to fall, the
oxen in the Alexander Major train
were taken down to tireen Hlver.
and Lem Wilson went to work for
"Hat" Khurtlelf, a .Mormon, south
of Salt Lake. The Mormon owned
a mule train and Lem approached
him for a job at the suggestion of
one of the forniF-r employt-s of
Alexander Major who hud been

"Hut I've never skinned any
mules, and don't know the first j
thing about them" Lem argued.
"Never mind, tell him you did.
If he thinks you haven't had nny
experience you won't get a Job.
Vou can catch onto the work
afterwards" argued the man. So
Lem musirred up courage anil up- j
proached the Mormon Tor a Job.)

from the start that he was whip

continued to get worse and more
nervous. Fiiutlly Shurtlelf came
over to him and said:
"Voung man, you told me you
were a mub skinner."
"Well, I was told (hat vou
wouldn't hire me unless I had had
experience, so I thought I'd blufr

and to his surprise the man luuch-
ed good naturedly. and taking him
over to the team, he began patient
ly to give the boy Jnstru lions. "I
like your nerve, lad'' he Hald.
On this Job it was Lcm's duty to
haul Hch for the I'nlon Pacific
railroad. After the 'first day of
sliding down the mountain side
with the mules, he came to his for
mer friend of the Alexander Major
train and told him that he couldn't
stand the work and that he w:i
never cut out to be a mule skinner.
"Aw don't be u niker. Lem-' hu,
ihe friend. "The old man s taken
a liking to you and things will keep
gettin' easier around hero right

Job for eight months, during which
time the .Mormon showered little
personal attentions and prlvilescH
upon him, partly because he was
several years younger thun his
other employes.

Meets Calamity Jane ,
Among the more famous early
characters on the plains, with
whlih Lem Wilson had come into
per.sonul contact was Calamity
Jane. Although her name means
nothing more to many of the mod
ern generation than a slang phrase,
she was oh much flesh und blood
as Lem Wilson himself, uccordlua
to the old pioneer. '
''The first time I met Calamity
Jane was in Pierre, South Dakota,
In '7if. She was about 3fi years old
then, and hud long black hair like
an Indian's tucked under a cowboy
hat. Tall nnd wiry, she was about
as hard boiled as you'd find them.
She dressed In men's clothes and
carried a couple of six-shooters In
her belt, which she used to settle
any argument which might arise.
She drank heavy and could out
