BEN CLARK, WHOM THE -INDI- | ANS CALLED “MI-E NO-TO-WAH.” | When General Custer’s Fighting {Seventh charged down upon Chief | Black Kettle’s Cheyennes on the Washita to the tune of “Garryowen” i that cold November morning in 1868, | at his side rode a man whom the In- ‘dians recognized, and they shouted to | each other “Look out for Red Neck! {He's a dead shot!" | Clark played an important part: in | Custer's campaigns that year, but his | most valuable services were performed tas a scout for Gen, Nelson Miles in jthe war with the Cheyennes, Arapa- hoes, Comanches and Kiowas in 1874. His greatest feat was his part in the rescue of the ‘Germaine sisters, two i little white girls who had been cap- tured when their parents were mur- dered by raiding Cheyennes in their Kansas home. Two of the girls, Adelaide and Julia |Germaine, were recaptured from. the !Cheyennes when Lieut. Frank Bald- | win struck the camp of Chief Gray | Beard so suddenly that the Indfans {bad no chance to kill their prisoners, , jas they usually did. ‘The girls in-| | formed General Miles that two of | their sisters, Catherine and Sophia | | Germaine, still were held by another {band of the Cheyennes. | | Ben Clark immediately set out. to) discover where they were. After. a} Jong seareh he found that they were! in the camp of Chief Stone Calf, Gen-| eral Miles secured a photograph of} Julia and Adelaide and on the back) of it he wrote a message to the other| sisters telling them that every effort {was being made to rescue them, He gave this message to a friendly In-| 4ogo.t2 | dian who visited Stone Calf's camp ‘and, unobserved by the Indians, slipped it into the hand of one of the girls, The general next sent a message to Stone Calf, demanding his surren- der and telling him that no mercy | would. be shown his warriors unless the Germaine girls were brought to the nearest army post alive and un- 'harmed. In a short time Stone Calf j came in to the Cheyenne agency, sur jrendered his white captives and all ‘four sisters were reunited. Ben Clark’s scouting had not been in vain. When the Cheyennes. were finally subdued, Clark settled down at Fort Reno, Okla., with them. He became ; their interpreter in all their dealings with the white men, and the Chey- evnes came to honor “Red Neck” as much as they had feared him when he was fighting against them, Later he was custodian of old Fort Reno, and when he died a few years ago, after more than 50 years in the goy- i j | | tr fal amon f Bonds € rote arn a eners0! voet. me 331.74| ernment service, his passing was amount of Bonds Out- mourned by white and red men glike. ‘standing June 30, 1921. « 3300.00 sn ‘Total Board: ELMER Repor' Amo ict $i Amot during Sinking interest thereon ...

However, the trapper had a better feck than this up his sleeve. His 38) rifle was not a single shot, for after | a winter of successful trapping he had | sold his fu in St. Louls and had | bought a repeating rifle, one of the | first to be carried in the Rocky moun- ; tains.

With ovt removing his gun from bis shoul- der, the white man: pumped bullets at oncoming warriors as fast as he could | work. the lever. i ‘Three of the Indians dropped in| their tracks, and the fourth, with a how! of dismay, turned and fled at top speed, followed by several bullets, which the trapper sent after him to encourage the fleeing, redskin, When the surviving warrior arrived in his village ‘he told a marvelous tale of an encounter with a white man who bad) a “medicine gun” which never stopped shooting and killing. In this way Dr. W. F. Carver, the trapper who had been ambushed, won the name’ of “The Evil Spirit of the | Plains.” for the Indians learned to fear him and his medicine gun as they i did no other trapper who invaded their | hunting grounds. When. the trapping days ended, Dr. Carver became a scout and guide for the United States army, ‘and during the Sioux war of 1876-77 !he made the acquaintance of “Buffalo | Bin” Cody. The two scouts became fast friends. When Buffalo Bill's Wild West show ‘was organized Carver joined it as a sharpshooter.
