Frank North and Capt Luther II. North In bis book "Two Great Scouts and Their Pawnee Battalion," published recently by th Arthur IL Clark company of Cleveland. In the Introduction to that volume you will find these words: "Major Frank North died In ISSN, In his early middle life. He was a great leader of men and his character won for him the absolute devotion and trust of those he commanded. Whether It waa by hla good fortune or b!a skill, he never lost a man In battle. This no doubt waa In part an explanation of the faith hla men had In him In hla success. Himself always In the forefront of the battle, he never said to hla men Go on, but always 'Come along and hla men always strove to keep up with him. "Needless to any, he was brave and he expected In hla men the courage mid steadfastness that he himself possessed. In one light when he and hla scouts were In the open, etsised to the fire of concealed enemies and some of hls men Showed a disposition to retreat, Frank North anld to them, T shall kill the first man that runs.' No one ran. The experiences of Capt. L. H. North cover more years than those of hls brother and ao are wider. Ills Journeylngs have extended from the International boundary, south, through Oklahoma (the old Indian Territory) and he has spent much time In the Rocky mountains. He Is today the he la almost the last, of the greatest,-ascouts of America. "Hit knowledge o, the Indian and of the Indian's ways of thought la profound. As a hunter of wild game he was tort expert and successful and the most certain and best rifle shot that I have seen. At' this late day few men survive v ho were scouts In the Indlnn wars. Of these. Captain North Is probably the oldest as he la certainly the most experienced and the most able. Captain North and hls brother. Frank North, were In the class with Bridger and Carson. They and such as they, did the tremendous work of making available what Is called our western empire." High praise that to class the Norths with such great pioneers as Old Jim Bridger and Kit Car-so- n and coming from such a source It Is all the more Impressive. But an inspection of the record, as It Is set forth In Doctor Grlnnell's book, will show how worthy the Norths were of the title of "empire-builders.- " Although their careers on the frontier were filled with enough thrilling experiences to delight the soul of any dime novelist, fortunately for their enduring fame these purveyors of sensation passed them by In favor of lesser men. And there can be no doubt that both Frank North and Luther North were the best pleased of any one that they did pass them by. For, like most men who have accomplished great deeds of daring and danger, they were least Inclined to talk about them. If they were to receive any recognition for the work they did, they, no doubt, would have preferred it to come as It has from the hands of an appreciative and understanding friend (for the friendship of Doctor Grlnnell and Captain North dates from the old Indlan-flghtindays or more than half a century ago) in the form of t straightforward, xnatter-of-fae- t narrative, such as Doctor Grinnell has written, with the ring of truth and accuracy In every line. Thomas J. North, father of the two great scouts, was a native of New York who removed to Ohio soon after hls marriage. His oldest son, James E. North, was born in Ohio In lS.i8; Frank North was born in New York In 1840 and Luther North in Ohio in 1846. In 1855 the elder North emigrated, to the newly organised territory of Nebraska and a year later brought nis family to the tract of eighty acres of timherland on the borders of Omaha which he was clearing for the owner of the land. North was also a surveyor and that winter while laying out a town-siton the California emigrant trail he was frozen to death. Upon the three brothers fell the responsibility of caring for their mother and tneir two younger sisters. Eventually the family settled near Columbus, Neb., where the boys obtained work Luther North, then thirteen of various sorts. years of age, become a mail carrier between the towns of Columbus and Monroe and Frank North joined forces with three men who were making a living by trapping and poisoning wolves for their Lidea If was during this time that the North old-tim- e s g e Cucumber Circlet.

The reservation for the Pawnees had been established In the section of Nebraska In wldch the Norths lived and In I860 Frank and Luther North secured employment with the agent on the reservation. The next year a new agent was appointed anJ a sonln law of the roinmlKxIoner of Indian affulra wae made trader for the Pawnees. Finding that Frank North could speak the Puwn-'lunguage. this trader employed him as clerk and Interpreter. The Sioux and the Pawnees were traditional enemies and dt ring the year 18C1 the Sioux made a number of raids on the Pawnees. During one of these Luther North had whut he declares to have been tils narrowest escape from death during hla whole career on the plains. He waa then engaged ta hauling logs to the sawmill on the reservation and at night wnt accustomed to turn the horses and mules of the logging outfit out to graze. One morning the animals were gone and young North set out on a saddle mule to find them. A mile from tha agency he was Jumped" by a war party of Sioux who were between him and the agency. A mile In the opposite direction was another trader's store and toward that young North urged bis mule us fust as It could run. But It was not List enough to outrun a splendidly mounted Sioux warrior, armed with how and arrow and a spear, who quickly overtook the fleeing boy. But Just as the savage was ready to thrust hls lance through the boy. Ids horse stepped In a prairie dog hole and before he could get to hls feet and use his bow and arrows, young North bad reached the trading post. The next year young North enlisted In the Second Nebraska cavalry which, In the spring of 1SC3, was ordered to Join the expedition which Gen. Alfred Sully was to lead up the Missouri river to punish the hostile Sioux who had been committing depredations along the emigrant trails and against the scattered settlements At the outbreak of the Great Sioux War of 1804, Luther North did his first scouting for the government, as did hls brother Frank North. It was during this war, also, that the first group of Pawnee scouts were organized at the suggestion of General Curtis, the commanding officer In that Seventy-seve- n area. young Pawnees were enrolled and were plnced under command of an Interpreter named McKadden with Frank North as second In command. General Curtis soon discovered that McFadden had little real authority over the Pawnees but that they obeyed promptly when North ordered them out on a scouting expedition. As a result Curtis gave North authority to enlist a company of 100 scouts when he returned to Fort Kearney from that particular expedition. Upon arriving at the fort North called a council of the tribe and made ki own his wishes. Within on hour he had 100 of the best Pawnee warriors enrolled, nil of them anxious for North to lead them against the Sioux. Then army red tape got In Its work. North was ordered to come to Omaha with a list of the Indian names. Tht.--e being no railroad, he was forced to make the Journey on horseback and reached Omaha in three days. There he was kept waiting for two weeks nefore being furn lshed with muster roils and enlistment papers and when he returned tc the reservation, he found that all of his scouts had gone' off on the Pawnees winter buffalo bunt. Frank North was obliged to return to Omaha but he sent his brother. Luther, to follow the Pawnees and per suade the men he had recruited to return. Accompanied by a young Pawnee. Luther North set out but was caught in a blizzard which raged for three days. Being out of provisions, they started back for the reservation and for four days, during which time they had nothing to eat. they battled their way through Hit snow. Finally they reached the North borne 'in Columbus. Eventually Frank North found the Pawnees and after a long Journey, filled with suffering from the Intense cold, they all returned to Columbus. Here he found a telegram from the commanding officer at Omaha, telling him that unless the company was promptly tilled, the order authorizing, it would he rescinded. That called for another trip to Omaha and tills time he made it in a day and a half. Finally, after many difficulties (including that of the desertion of 35 Pawnees who had been told that they were to be sent south to fight the negroes) Company A, Pawnee Scouts were mustered Into the United Stale service. For the next five year North' I'awnc scout proved of Inestimable value. Beady to move at a moment's notice they repeatedly pursued and punished Sioux raiding imrties which would bav found U eusy to escape from regular army troop. They acted aa scouts for General Connor's expedition apiinst the hostile In the powder river and Yellowstone country In lsti5 and most of the honors of that ouupuign. In the different skirmishes which were fought, were won by the scouts. It was Card. Frank North amt Ids Pawnees who found the lost and starving command of Colonel Cole who waa to with General Connors column and guided them to safety and It was during this campaign that the Puwnees conferred upon their while lender the highest honor In their power. Before one of the fights during that campaign. In which the Paw neea, led brilliantly by North, had taken the scalps of 27 hostile Cheyenma. North had been known as Ski rl taka" or White Wolf. During the victory celebration held after the battle the Pawnees changed bis name to ''Paul leslmr" or the Pawnee Chief. It was a name which only been given one other white man had ever and that was General Fremont, for whom the Pawnees held a high regard. The year 1SC7 was the most brlillnnt In the history of the Norths and their Pawnees. General Augur, commanding the department ol the Plntte, authorized the organization of a battalion scouts with Frank of four companies of Taw-neNorth In command with the title of major. One of the companies whs' commanded by Luther North who was given the rank of captain. The principal Job of the scouts was to protect the builders of the Union Pucittc from hostile Indians and so Important and so efficient was their work In this tlftit It Is not too much to say that had It not been for this little force of loyal red men and their white leaders the drenni of a transcontinental railway might have been delayed for several years. The work of the scouts during that year and the following year, until the treaty of lGS put an end to the Indian troubles, for a time at lenst, furnishes material for dozens of thrilling yarns. One incident, because It shows 'be nietnl of the enemy which the Norths had to fight, Is noteOne of their scouts was a worthy. Pawnee whose father wa a Spaniard. Ilis nnme was Baptiste Behale and be was one of the most proficient of all the tribe in the use of the bow and arrows. During one of the fights a Sioux Indian was unhorsed and Behale shot him with an arrow. The shaft struck the Sioux under the right shoulder, went clear through his body and came out on the left side. The warrior stopped running, pulled the arrow on through, fitted it to his bow, wheeled around and shot It at Behale who was riding close behind hire- on his horse. Behale threw himself low on his horse's neck and the arrow passed over his body about two Indies too high I As he straightened up. he looked down to see that the Sioux had dropped dead the moment after he had discharged the arrow. In 1SG9 the Sioux and Cheyennes were again on the warpath and again the Pawnee scouts were called into service. In view of the recent revival of interest In the exploits of Col V. F. Cody, "Buffalo Bill," and the controversy which had been raging In a number of newspapers over certain of hls deeds It is Interesting to read In Doctor Grlnnell's book the story of the Battle of Summit Springs, tolo., where, it lias been as sorted, Cody killed the celebrated chief Tall Bull. That chiefs camp was attacked by General Carr and the Fifth cavalry nnd after me first dash Into the Indian camp, the soldiers were engaged in hunting out the Indians who nad taken refuge into a number of ravines. Onq.t.f these refugees was the chief himself, who fired at Frank and Luther North as they rode past his hiding place. Frank North dismounted, waited for the Indian to show himself again and then shot him through the forehead. Later in the day T all Bulls widow pointed Frank North out as the slayer of As for Codys part in that Grinnell says, A terrific storm of hail and raic came up and while all hands were trying to get under shelter In the lodges, Cody rode Into camp He had been with Colonel Royalt and had missed the fight. Later, by Ned Buntline (E. C. Judson), he was given credit for 'having killed Tall Bull but he was not in the fight at alL d e half-hree- d - ha-A- e u, 1827.
