Dr. Hugh J. Needham when only 19 years old yielded to the lure of adventure in the far west ‘when the names of Kit Carson, Wwild Bill and Buffalo Bill were on the lips of every American youth. Arriving at Pairyille, Colo, Au~ gust 17, 1862, Needham enlisted in Company M. He was mustered into service at Fort Garland, Colo., and began campaigning with the troop- ers. As evidence of some of the thrilling experiences, the aged vet- eran today carries two large scars made by arrows and bullets fired by Comanche braves in one of the numerous skirmishes. Dr. Needham was finally dis- charged at Fort Union, N. M., Oc- tober 8, 1886, when he returned and made his home here. Dr. Needham practiced medicine here 15 years, and was United States Comn.ssioner of the Federal Dis- trict Court nine years, and has been prominent in Masonic so- cieties. e o Cure company, of Cordova, is a west- bound passenger on the Yu- kon.
