The nerve, hardihood and daring of the genuine frontier scout was illustrated time atter time during Gen. Custer’s Indian campaign by a favorite scout named Tom Reynolds. | He bad been in the Indian for ten or twelve years before Custer attached him to his command, wounds He snake’’ he bore twenty-two scars or received from red men. known to them as “the they both hated and respected h In one of his raids among the strong- holds to the south Custer sent Reynolds back to Fort Laramie with dispatches. The scout preterred to go alone, and the fact that the coun- | try was alive with Indians was taken rk aark, by him as a matter of course. lett camp one night soon after ing andt mounted on a swittmul , betore him of sixty-five or seventy miles. ‘T seen of him ar last t was the for a week, when he rode into Laramie one day and made his apologies tor being WAY DETAINED ON THE Reynolds made only about fitteen miles the first night, where he had On several occasions lie narrowly escap calculated on making forte. ed riding into bodies of Indians,who seemed to be scouting all over the country, and up to midnight he had to move very slowly.

It would be impossible to move for several eays, however, and be settled down to pass the time in the greve. There were Indian signs all about him and the chances were that he be left undisturbed many days. It was a small but grove, the scout and his mule were well hidden trom timber. would not dense and anyone skirting the On the fifth day nine Indi- ans were seen approaching the grove. They watered their ponies at the edge of it and then turned them loose, built a fire and made prepa- rations for dinner. Reynolds had made his mule Jie down and then COVERED HER WITH BRUSH, while he retreated to the other side of the grove. The redskins were loafing around for over an hour be- fore anything occurred. They were then joined by twelve others, but as the new-comers did not dismount, the scout was in hopes the whole band would soon leave the locality. They were evidently about to do so when Reynolds’ mule got up and brayed, a thing she was never known to do before or after in the tace of danger. It Was accounted tor in this instance hy the tact that one ot the Indi which ns was mounted on a horse had been stolen from the cavalry and the mule evidently rec- ognized its presence. The Indians at once raised an alarm and rushed into The mule speedily discovered and led out and five minutes later the scout the grove. was QUIETLY SURRENDERED, and walked among his captors with smiling face He might have held them at bay for a time, but the odds Were too ggeat to hope tor anything turning in his favor. Several of the Indians recognized Reynolds as ‘the snake,’ and there was great exulta- tion over his capture. An ordinary prisoner would have been insulted and maltreated in the first excite- ment, but no indignity was offered the scout. He was disarmed,ordered to mount his mule, and the whole body moved to the east. After travelling all the afternoon they reached the North fork ot the Platte and went into camp. The scout could speak the Sioux dialect as well as « member ot the tribe and during the journey he kept up a runmng couversation with the two sub chiefs, leading them to believe that he had # personal quarrel with Custer and was no longer in his service. He claimed that he was on his way to purchase a trapper’s outfitand return, | couniry | to the mountains. While the Indians | no doubt kept a sharp eye on him, Was no one seemed to do so.

A few months ago Vernon county was straining every netve to secure a state building, and the press and people all over this country took up her cause and made a gallant fight, and when the first flush ot victory sat tullon her people they swore with uplifted hands that they would repay such generosity at the first opportunity. When Stone was nominated at Appleton City, the Vernon county people took every- body into their embrace and hastened to say, **Now we have all we want and all we are entitled to; you fel- lows name your candidates and old Vernon will pay her debts, and nght royally, too.’’ Buta change came Over the spirit of her dreams, and last tall, full six months before a modest man would announce him- self tor any office, Vernon had flung her banner to the breeze and on its ample folds were inscribed: Stone tor Congress, Scott for Supreme Judge, Cressap tor Railroad Com missioner, Wright tor State Senator, Martin for State Superintendent ot Public Schools and D.
