Com- removed from this part of the “big deck.” The pilot's outstanding experience on the Missouri probably was as @ partici- pant in what is recorded in state an- nals as the “Battle of the Boats.” In 1863, when the Civil War was at its height, Atkins had left a $10-a- month berth as a Mississippi river pilot to “learn” the Missouri—without pay. In those days St. Louis was the center of the great fur trade of the west and many Mississippi ports were depots of rich fur districts. Indians jover a wide area trapped and sold {pelts. The Campbell, the steamboat on which Atkins made his first trip, was owned by a fur company. Indians Were Hostile But the Missouri valley Indians still 'were frequently hostile to the whites. On this trip a tense situation was found at Yankton, where troops had encountered 10 Indians hunting a few days before and had killed seven of them, apparently without provoca- jtion. Near Fort Pierre the boat crew noted increasing hostility and pre- Pared to resist attack. As the Campbell steamed on through the tortuous channels of the river the country became wilder and jthe Indians more numerous, As the two boats rounded a bend not far be- low Fort Union July 7 a group of Sioux along a densely wooded strip of the shore invited the crews to land. The Indians made various friendly gestures indicative of friendship, in- cluding the motions of burying a hatchet. Although veterans of the Indian bine sauce with macaroni, oysters and} country counseled against the move, mushrooms and turn into a well but- ia yawl was launched from the Camp- tered baking dish, Bake 20 minutes/ bell. Both boats had drawn up to a 507 | in a moderate oven (350 degrees Fah-| long sandbar and the crews watched: renheit) and serve from baking dish. Late C. J. Atkins of Cando/anxiously as the yawl, manned by deckhands neared the shore, Indians helped land the craft and shook hands with the men, but Atkins watching through a spy-glass saw an Indian fitting an arrow inhis bow. He shot the Indian and general fight began. Fierce Fight Breaks The yawl was hurriedly pushed from the shore and the men of the Campbell rowed desperately but an Indian leaped into the water and drove his spear into the back of an oarsman. Others fired on the yawl. One man was killed instantly and another died on board the Campbell. The crews of both boats poured a steady fire into the Indian ranks, killing many. The boat crews ham- pered their escape by killing their ponies, At Fort Union hostile Indians were sc numerous the men at the fort did not dare go hunting. The boat crews did not go ashore. The return trip to 8t. Louis was made without serious mishaps and Atkins did not return until the spring of 1865—this time as a full-fledged Missouri pilot and with his bride aboard. The boat on this trip was the Ben- ton. A total of 10,000 miles was cov- ered in 169 days. In 1867 Atkins again went up the Missouri with the Ida Fulton. Near Omaha on the re- turn trip floodwaters had changed the course of the channel ‘and as the wife of Captain Lawrence was ill, it was decided to push on through the night. Atkins steered through Sty- gian darkness, being warned of snags by hearing the waters gurgling about them. The pilot now was earning $200 @ month. Last Trip in 68 In 1868 he made his last trip, set- tling down on his return at St. Charles, Mo., where he had estab- lished @ coal and ice business. In 1884 Captain Atkins and his wife came to Towner county on a hunting trip. A colony of Missouri- ans had settled in the southwestern part of the county the year before and Atkins knew Capt. P. P. Parker and other leaders of the colony. Both the pilot and his wife enjoyed hunt- ing and prairie chickens, wild ducks and geese were plentiful while ante- lope and even elk could be found not far away. Then the couple had six stalwart sons for whom they thought the prairie country offered opportunities. $10,918 to Be Mailed School Districts Here eS Checks totaling $10,918.88 will be mailed to 52 Burleigh county schoul districts Thursday, according to Miss Dorothy Huber, deputy county super- intendent of schools.
