(Continued from Last Sunday) Refuses to Otter Ordera Then tha question was. what ahall ws do? Lieut. Baldwin aald, "We will keep on and ride right through them snd strike the plains beyond Wash ita." I said, "No, there are too many of them. They will run right over us. tromp us Into the ground and kill us all without ever firing a shot." Bald win said, "Well, what ahall we do?" I aald. "we will circle off to the right, work over and strike the Washita farther down. If they discover ua we will separate every man to himself get Into the swamp and maybe some of us will get to Camp Supply." The argument lasted several minutes. Lieut. Baldwin said, "I am In com mand; follow me." I aald, "I for one will not go. Lieutenant, you are In command but you can not make me go Into certain death. I refuse to follow and will not put my head Into a halter that means sure death." The lieutenant's eyes flashed fire. He surely waa an angry man. Finally he said. "Come on, all who want to go to Camp Supply, follow me." and he mounted hla horse. I said. "Come on all who want to go to Camp Supply ronow me." and I mounted my horse. Bsldwln started one way and Wing went with him. I atarted the other way and Schmalsle followed me. After going a few hundred yards I said to Schmalsle, "Let's take the last look at Baldwin and Wing we will ever have." We turned and looked only to see that they had stopped also. When they saw we had stopped, they turned and came toward us. Upon reaching us, Lieut. Baldwin, still angry and his voice trembling, said. "Wilson. If you are going to take command of this outfit, lead on." 'Lieutenant," I said, "I don't wish to lake command, but If you will follow me, I will take you to Camp Supply." He said, "All right, lead on, I'll follow." Thus we started my way, the scouts In the lead bo cause they knew the wsy. HaTes Ills Leader's Life That was one of the occasions that he afterwards many times mentioned and said that I had saved his life. He said, our good luck of the day before in fighting our way through had made him over-confident. We had not gone very far, when I, who had the best horse, wss riding a little In advance. In going over a little ridge I saw an Indian, naked except for his "gee string" and moccasins, riding a pony and leading another which was loaded with meat. He was riding slong singing his Kl-yl song with his hesd hanging forward and he did not see me. I backed down making signs to the others for silence and told them what I had seen, and that thoy would aee him In a few minutes com ing around the point. We held coun cil and Baldwin said, "What will we do?" I said, "We can't ahoot; we are too close to their camp. We will catch him, disarm him, and take him with us." So ws waited till he ap peared, then I rode right onto him, grabbed him by the neck and choked him to silence. We both fell from our horses but I hung onto him while Schmslsle snd Wing disarmed him. we made signs to him that If he made a sound we would kill him. It was later learned that he waa a white man who had lived with the Indians since he wss six years old. We cut the meat from both horses and turn ed one loose and tied him to the other and took him with ua. Horse Is Lost At one time we had to pass In plain eight of the Indian camp aome distance away.

We did this seversl times for four or five miles. It seemed like It never would get dark. I caught vo with them in a little cottonwood grove Just before dark. We rested here about fifteen minutes; then we started northward through a draw toward the Canadian river, which we reached about midnight, without fur ther Incident.

Schmalsle rode behind and a little down stream to water, ... Tnni.n After crossing safely we rested a while wicu wok tne old trail made by den. Miles during the first part of the expedition and followed It six or eight miles. We were traveling two abreast when abnui. a -an . M September 8 we were greeted by about the most welcome aound I ever heard. "Halt, who goes there?" "A friend." answered Lieut. Baldwin. "Advance friend and be recognized." We found that It was an outpost of MaJ. Ly man'a aupply train of 38 wagons. We were taken Into camp and Lieut. Baldwin reported to MaJ. Lyman, who took him into hla tent and directed the sentinel to tske us scouts to the corral of the teamsters. The Indian was uucen to the guard tent. We three scouts be?nn n something to eat.

Baldwin. He aald, "What Is It, Wilson?" I said. "We are being fed. Don't you think we should feed that Indian, he must be hungry?" He said, "Yes, by all means." MaJ. Lyman gave me an order to the sergeant of the guard for the Indian. Baldwin said he would gusrsntee that I would look after the Indian and return htm to the guard house. I took him to the corral and the teamsters surely did open their eyes at seeing a hostile Indian clad with a "gee atrlng" and moccasins. We fed him and returned him to the guard. (This csptlve professed to great Joy In being again with the whites, and so completely deceived Lyman's men with whom Baldwin left him that when ther were later h. sieged he wss given a gun.
