The western plainsman is a type
that is now almost extinct. Hidden
away in Oklahoma territory is a man
who has been identified with the his-
tory of the plains during the last
thirty years.
.lack Stilwell, a scout and Indian
fighter known to all the frontier men
and army officers of the west, now
lives in the little village of Anadarko
on the Kiowa and Comanche reserva
tion. Like most inen of his type, he
dislikes the civilization of the large
c ties and lias followed frontier life to
its last exemplification in the Indiau
territory.
Jack Stilwell first achieved distinc-
tion by the part he took in Forsythe's
famous fight on the Aricaree Fork in
1808. The little band under Fonythe,
besieged on an island, had withstood
the repeated attacks of a thousand
Cheyennes lead by old Roman Nose
for two days. Hut their number was
steadily decreasing, their ammunition
was failing and they had nothing to
eat but the flesh of their dead mules.
Death and torture seemed stalking in
upon them from the sand hills. There
..as but one hope for them; some one
must carry the news of their distress
to the forts on the Union Pacific, and
bring troops to their relief Tlieir
position was entirely surrounded by
the painted warriors of Roman Nose,
they had no horses and the nearest
post, Fort Wallace, was 100 miles
away. Rut it was rein forements or
death by the most cruel torture that
the savages could devise.
Two scouts undertook the journey,
succeeded iu eluding the cordon of
Cheyennes and reached the open
prairie. One of them was .lack Stil-
well. then a boy of IS. They hid in
ravines by day and traveled by night.
Though on foot, Stilwell reached Fort
Wallace on the second night and two
troops of cavalry rode away to the res-
cue of Foray the and his gallant band.
A full account of this fight may be
found in Buffalo Hill's book, and For-
ay the himself described it in Harper s
magazine for June, 1805. ,
The next winter occurred Custer s
campaign and the battle of the Wash-
ita. Jack Stilwell was with Custer's
column as a scout, and iu all the In-
dian fighting in the southwest from
that time on After all the Indians
were brought in and settled peaceful-
ly on reservations, he was invited by
~ dy to become a member of his ag-
gregation. which he did, and he trav-
eled with the Wild West show for sev-
eral years.
When Oklahoma was opened to set-
tlement he went to Bl Reno, where he
was police judge for a time. The
numerous acts of lawlessness in the
territory took many of her citizens up
to Wichita to the sessions of the feder-
al court. When .lack Stilwell went
up the people of Wichita usually knew
that he was there. He, with some of
his friends, were in the habit of liven-
ing up the town by various kinds of
freakish sport.
On one occasion he hired a hearse
and they were going to take a drive
over town when the undertaker learn-
d that there was no funeral and ve-
toed the thing just as Jack was crawl
ing into the body of the vehicle. «Jack
tried to argue that they had paid for
the use of it and could ride in it if they
chose, but they had to give up the
ride.

Woodward Bulletin*. Cattle Inspec-
tor John McGrath, arrived in the city
Wednesday after an absence of several
weeks making a tour of his district.
He experienced some thrilling adven-
tures in the quick sands of the South
Canadian. Two parties had crossed
the quarantine line with cattle and
they were dealt with accordingly.
J no. Richardson who crossed the
line February 22 with a small bunch
if cattle, was arrested in the south-
east portion of D county and fined #100
ami costs.
R. M. Shaw had crossed the line
with nineteen head of cattle on the
22d day of May. lie too was arrested
in I) county and fined $100 and costs.
The effective manner in which Mr.
MeOrath is performing his duties
meets the approval of all.

Many amusing things transpire
among seekers for place under Gov-
ernor Harnea that do not become pub-
lic property. One that is going the
rounds of the "boys is particularly
risible. A certain candidate tells it on
himself that he went to the governc
in search of coal oil inspector. II
laid his credentials and recommenda-
tions before the governor. The
ernor cast his eagle eye over the papers |
and handing them back, remarked,

due consideration; give that to the
man who applied for it. what 1 want
is to be coal oil inspector. Hut the
governor simply bowed coldly and re
peated, "You shall have due considera-
tion;" and the candidate walked out
dubiously, wondering what the neces-
sary qualification for thcotlice of "tine
consideration" was, and if he was able
to fulfill it.

Talks of Bringing Mutk Oxen From Alas-
ka to the I'nltetl States.
"Buffalo" Jones, the well known ex-
Kansas populist, left Perry Saturday
for Alaska. He says he has two objects
in view, one to prospect a route for
the Candian Pacific railroad and the
other to corral musk oxen in Alaska
and drive them to the United States.
The musk ox is nearly extinct and
Jones proposes, by the assistance of
numerous sliephered dogs which he
took with him, to herd them on an
island off the Pacific coast. He will
also raise several species of the fox far
their furs. Several persons will go
with Jones on his expedition to the
gold fields on the Yukon river.

>ne evening, after they had been in
town several days, and were fee,ing
tolerably good, .laek and some of his
friends were walking down the street
when they eame to a bright, newly
painted barber's pole.
,1 aek sought the proprietor, found
what the pole cost and bought it on
the spot. Then the crowd hoisted it
ou their shoulders and went on down
the street. They had not gone far be-
fore they "metup" with a partrolman,
who, thinking they had, of course,
stolen the pole, arrested the crowd
and took them to the city bastlle.
There they put up a small cash bond
and were released until morning.
When morning came they appeared
for trial, and .lack explained that the
pole was his and he hail paid for it:
that he was going to take it tollkla
homa, where the natives had never
seen a barber's pole, and it would be
an object of curiosity and wonder.
Then he sent for the barber from
whom he had purchased the pole, and
the result was that they were all re-
Whereupon they shouldered their
pole and marched down the street
again, to be arrested by another po
liceman and brought up before the
iudge again. As soon as the judge
saw them he ordered the officer to let
them go. They started out in another
direction, only to be arrested for the
third time. In the end the chief of
police was obliged to issue a general
order stating that the pole belonged
to Stilwell and he should not be mo
lested. At the same time he intimated
to .lack that they had had sport
enough, and it would be well f>>r him
to take his pole and return to his na-
tive wilds.
Jack has since reformed altogether,
trot married and settled down at Ana-
darko. President Cleveland appointed
him United States commissioner for
the Kiowa and Comanche reservation,
and be is now known as ' Judge'
Stilwell.

Winfield Courier It is necessary to
know more than one tiling to be safe.
Secretary Coburn sent out his report,
on alfalfa and in it told how this plant
would penetrate "gumbo" and render
it porDUS and would greatly improve
the soil. There is a layer of "gumbo"
under iny orchard and to improve the ;
soil I sowed alfalfa a couple of months 1
ago. Along comes a man who told me
that his father had an orchard killed
by alfalfa. Here was a dilema. and I
wrote the secretary for information j
and today received an answer which it
rould be well for the people of Cow j
ley to know. He said:
"Don't sow alfalfa in an orchard,
and especially ih a young orchard.
Wherever it has been tried it has prov-
ed disastrous to the orchard. Alfalfa
is a strong root growing plant and
great drinker. It will absorb the
moisture from the ground and rob the
trees of nourishment, and eventually
kill the orchard. S. K. 1-ink
