(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.

At one time we had to pass In

and called for Lieut. 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

whites, and so completely deceived

him that when ther were later h.
