HOW “L1VER-EATIN’ ” JOHNSON
GOT HIS NAME
Among the acorns who were with
Gen Nelson A Miles when that of-
ficer I n llicted his crushing defeat tip-
on the Sioux chief Cruzy Horae at
the battle ot Wolf Moiintuln -Mom
In 1877 was one bearing the strange
name of “Llver-Eatln' ’’ Johnson
Johnson was a powerful Norwegian
weighing mors lliun 36) pounds nnd
standing six feet three Indies in Ills
moccasin-dad feet He had a gheiit
slmck of golden hair of which ho was
very proud — so much so that lie
refused to wear a lull and when lie
weut Into battle with tills golden
inane in the wind he looked like an
iindeut Norse viking
Johnson had won bis name In a
gruesome way Two stories about tills
are told differing slightly In detail
hut agreeing In the main facts Une
tells liovv a party of Indians had
raided a trading post on the Mussel
shell River butwere driven off with
heavy loss It Is said that Johnson
in a spirit of devilish bravado cul
out tlie livers of several of the deuil
warriors aud actually ate them
The other ttory seeks to Justify
Johnson's act A Cheyenne chief had
raided and burned Johnson’s camp
wlille he was away on a trapping ex-
pedition When lie returned and saw
the ruins be swore that he would
kill tlie Cheyenne and eat his liver
Later he made good his threat Either
account may be correct so far as
details are concerned At any rate
he was ever afterward known as
“Liver Batin' ” Johnson
Johnson's inseparable companion
was “X” Beldler of Montana vlgilnnte
fume Beldler disapproved of John-
son's lack ot headgear and called him
a “yaller-headed Injun” because as
he said “every decent white inau
woare some sort o’ coverin' for Ills
scnlp” But Johnson was firm in bis
convictions and In the fight with
Crazy Horse’s Sioux he justified him-
self — to Ills own satisfaction at least
As Beldler and Johnson charged up
the enow-clad slopes of Wolf moun-
tain that morning against entrenched
Indians a bullet cut a furrow through
Llver-Eatln's hair “like a pair of red
hot sheep shears” as he said
“Now you see!” lie exclaimed to
Ills “pardner” “Tf I'd had a hat on
It’d bln plpmb -ruined!”
Little is known of Johnson’s Inter
history He was a scout at Fort Uns-
ter 1881 when the youug chief Sword
Bearer tried t6 stir up the Crows
against the whiles and scouted for
the troops duriDg that brief war
After that he eems to drop out of
history
