They.aro of the station wuh wipod out. Jicw Yoi k CJieyennes, and have killed my brother!" Three young backs, on foot, had been it chase of the fugitive, and they were within 200 feet of me as I rose np. The leveled rifle brought them to a sudden halt, and after gazing at me for a mo-ment they turned and descended the ridge to join the rest of the band. My viator lay down, and it was five minutes before he could get breath to explain. "We were out looking for cattle which stampeded from our emigrant camp on the Saline Fork. These brutes killed my brother and took me prisoner. That was yesterday, and about a mile below here they had gone into camp and built a lire to torture me when I made a break. Give me your revolver, for they'll be sure to charge us." I gave him one of the weapons, and soon after an Indian appeared on the foot of the ridge, made signs of peace and asked for a talk. Those on the lev-el below me drew awayabont forty rods to convince me that they meant fair, and I left my shelter and adv,mced a few paces to ask the errand of the young warrior. While I was thus engaged the man behind me was rolling the loose rocks together to strengthen the position. The redskin said he came to domand a prisoner. They had no quarrel with me, but the prisoner had shot one of their number in cold blood and must die They only asked for justice. I had their word that I miglt ride away in safety, but the prisoner they would have at any sacrifice. I did not wait an in-stant before replying that the man would not be given up, and that I was ready for any move on their part to take him. The buck had left his rifle behind him, and I stood there also apparently un-armed. As a matter of fact each of ns had a revolver. We were about half a pistol shot apart, and as I gave him my ultimatum he half turned, whipped out a revolver and fired a bullet which passed within an inch of my head. Then Ee uttered a yell and started to run, but he was too late. My bullet struck him under the right arm and went clear through him, and he fell and curled up bv a bowlder to die. understood by the The situation was Indians below me almost instanOy, and the entire crowd dismounted and charged It was a VOTy foolish move 1 Seir part and proved the edtability bucks. We had them dead un-der of young our fire, and we killed three of them many bullets.

The survivors made rah for their horses andI then disap-peared a to the east, leaving the four dead fell.

The result was to give him a most horrible looking mouth, making him an object of ridicule and contempt; and ho not only swore to have my life, but Paw-nee Killer proclaimed the fact that ho would give five ponies and a revolver to any one who would bring him my scalp. Therefore, while actual hostilities had not yet begun, there was a price set upon my head. The first attempt was made about two weeks after the fight on the ridge. A Eioae Indian, who claimed to have been outlawed from his tribe because he fa-vored peace with the whites, came into Fort Hays, ostensibly for protection. He had no weapons, seemed to be honest and straightforward, and all the men had a good word for him. On the third day he came to me and asked my as-sistance to recover his rifle, blanket, lot of powder and lead and various other articles, which he said he had cached at a spot about twelve miles down tne Smoky Hill Fork in a grove. When ho described the spot I remembered it very well, and next morning, having permission of the commandant, we set out. I was on horseback and the Indian afoot I had my usual weapons, while he had an army musket. He gave us his name as Little Smoke, and was a typical warrior in build and demeanor. Before we left the tort an old hunter called me aside and said: "Do you believe thar is a cache? "Whynotr "Bekase an Injun says thar is. Alius take em contrary to what they say. Is your scalp nailed on?" "Do you mistrust the man? ( "Never saw one yit that I didn't. Tm going to bet my rifle agin a keg of pow-der that you don't come back." As soon as wo were out of sight of the fort I motioned for the Indian to take the lead. He seemed to take it as a mat-ter of course, and he led off with a lope and held it for six or seven miles with-out a halt. I had not only to keep an eye on him, but scan the country as well He appeared to be on the lookout, as well he might be if his story was true, and about 11 o'clock we approached the spot where he claimed to have hidden his property. I had fcjpt him in the lead all the time, and we had had more or less shelter along the bank of the stream. Half a mile from the grove I drew rem "rwili wait here while by brother goes forward after his property." "Is the Swift Rider tired with his ride?" he sarcastically answered. "One must keep watch for danger. I will do that, for you wiU be busy." "If my white brother is afraid he need n"Ifiny red brother has a cache in the grove let him look for jt. Ii not we will return to the fort," and then, sat-isfied He hesitated a moment, that I was on my guard, he walked away and soon disappeared in the grove. I had every confidence that the trees sheltered a band of redskins, and it would not have surprised mo m the leaet to have seen a body of them dash out I was therefore taken aback, at the end of about a quarter of backload of stuff Smoke reappear with a from his cache. He came straight toward me, but very slowly. aJ1 every few yards to adjust his 1 was carefully watching him when my horse sniffed the air tmeasily, and all at onc it came to me that I was being Btalied. I left the shelter of . the cot-- tonwoods for tho open ground, and as I rode away two bullets zippod close to my head, having been fired from the opposite bank of the stream. At the same moment Little Smoke dropped his goods and fired on me with his mutikot. While half a dozen Indians in my rear were yelling and shooting I rodo down to within 200 feet of the smooth tongued traitor and dropped him dead in his tracks. There were five Indians in tho ambuscade, and they mounted their ponies and pursued me for three or four miles, but I got safely away. Tho second attempt was made in De-cember. A half breed Cheyenne an old man with a very honest face eamo into the fort and reported that a white man, a trappor, was in camp on the river above us with a broken leg, and he had volunteered to come in and report the case. The distance was not over five miles, but the snow lay deep on the ground and it was very sharp weather The old man probably reawmed that I would bo sent out to guide the relief party. He was asked to do so, but re-fused, even nnder promise of a gallon of whisky. This refnsal aroused my suspi-cions, and instead of going out aB a re-lief corps a dozen men wont armed to the teeth. The place designated was a grovo, and we approached it as near as posmbla under cover and then made a smlen dash. Eight mounted Indians rushed out on tho other side. There were evidences that they had been there in camp for two or three days. In the spring, when war had been for-mally declared, most of my work was along the Smoky Hill stage route. When the stages finally ceased running I carried food and ammunition to the station employes or guided thorn safely to tho posts. Lookout station, twenty mile beyond Fort Hays, w;is more ex-posed to attack than any other on the route. The hut for the shelter of tho men was half wood, half mud. Two stables filled with hay and oats flanked it and stood dangerously near. While at every other station tho men had made dugonts for their protection, this precau-tion had been neglected at Lookout. Small bands of Indians had appeared and been stood off by tho wall armed men, and they had come to believe that they could defeat any force likely to ap-pear. On the morning of April 15 I was approaching Lookout with BOO Win-chester cartridges for the men, when, just as day fairly broke, I was discov-ered and pursued by a band of about fifty Indians. I got into tho station after a lively chase, and within an hour it was surrounded by over a hundred redskins. I had been recognized, and they writ a flag of tmco to offer the three men their lives if they would hand me over. This offer was twice repeated, and then the Indians settled down to lxtsiego the rU-tio- n. During the day the firing was kept up at long range. All the horses in tho stables were killed lx fore noon, but none of us was wounded. As ni ,'ht came I determined to get awa , being under or-ders to report at Hays s n aa possible. Tae men encourag l we to gf. savin;? thy could hold the pho until I st-a-t assistance. Atabont 9 o'clock I crept out of the hut, crawled on my bands and knees into the darkness, and after twice almost bumping against Indians 1 got beyond their lines and headM for the fort.
