JUST LIKE A DIME NOVEL , How One Man IM nn Indian War All to Himself. TERROR FELL ON THE CHEYENNES. They Killed Kour of His Knmtly , Out Ho Hlcw Over Ono Hun- drrcl mid I-'llly of Tliunu In Juno , 1802 , n nmn named Saundor- fen packed Ills fmmly iind a few household - hold fjoods Into n wagon and liomloil duo weal from Omalm to find n location to . plcnso him somewhere along the Pintle , enyn u writer in the Sun Francisco Kx- nmlnt-r. Ho hud with him his wlfo , n boy fourteen years of nj'o , a frirl of ton , nnd a boy of twelve whom ho hud picked up nnd adopted. At tlio date named one passed Into the Indian country very quickly from any point on the upper Missouri. The lone emigrant family kept going and nvoldlng the Indians by BOIIIO luck , and Jltmlly brought upon thoLoup Fork of the ljlutto river , near tlio cen ter of the then territory of Nebraska , The family wore living In a wagon placed near u small clump of trees , while a hut was being built for a per manent I'OHlilonca. Ono night the horfcos broke away nnd In the morning Saun- derHon started out to recover them. They led him a chase of nlno or ton miles , end , owing to his losing his way , it was mid-afternoon before ho returned , Bays n writer In the New York Sun. An awful discovery awaited him. Indian- ) had attacked the camp , and every mem ber of his family had been killed and scalped. The buz/arils wore gathering when he arrived.Vhon ho had buried the bodies ho took a solemn oath to de vote the rc&t of his life to revenge , and how that oath was kept is a familiar history to many of the Indian fighters nnd scouts. Luckily for Saundcrson ho was soon Joined by a strong party of hunters who were bound for the Lnramio mountains , and lie was with them for three weeks before reaching Fort Laramie. They gave him all tlio pointers on Indian Ufo they could , and when ho had traded about his arnnmont consisted of a heavy rlllo , two Colt's revolvers and a hunting knife. I was then attached to the fort as a scout , and when I found that no argument could move him from his pur pose I gave him nil aid and advice. 1 got him a suit of buckskin , helped him to mold ftOO bullets , furnished him with a reliable compass and rode with him for two days to the south , into the Cheyenne country. This tribe had done him no wrong , but it was hostile , and one Indian was the snrao as another. I found the man moody and uncommuni cative , but I know the torture ho was Buffering and could excuse his demeanor. It was three months before ho returned to the fort , and ho then had the scalps ol twenty-one Indians to prove that ho had not been wasting time. lie was in n more cheerful mood now , and I managed to secure the particulars of Borne of his adventures. Soon after I left him ho discovered the trail of a village on the move. This ho followed until ho found the Indians on a creek in a long nnd narrow valley. He hid his horns and spare baggtigo away In a cave , and prowled away in search of proy. The herd of ponies was pastured above the village , and the white man's first victim was tin old man who was act ing as one of the herders. Ho was dig ging roots with a stick when Saunder- Bon cront up to him and hit him such a blow with a club that ho foil down dead. Ho carried the body half a milo on his back and dumped it into a dark ravine , but not till after ho had secured the ecalp lock. Ho then made a half circuit to the other end of tlio vnlloy whore ho found a boy border about bl.xtccn years old lying at full length on the grabs asleep. This tribe of Indians had no more fear of the presence of a white man there than of an olophant. Only the warriors had ever boon one , unless it was some poor prisoner brought in to bo tortured. Saunderson crawled upon the Bleeping Mmtlnol and killed him with a stone and his body was carried to the same ravine. The two Indians wore killed before noon. The ponies fed to the south , and it was not until they wore a long way up the valley that anyone in camp took tlio iilarm. Then four or live squaws and boys started out to turn the herd bick : nnd Saundorfeon followed them , having the cover of the thickets along the foot hills. The Indians scattered consider ably in surrounding the herdwhich was now full of frolic , and as the white man pressed forward through a dense thicket , across which wild Ciuno had niado a beaten path ho suddenly came fni'o to face with a squaw. On the impulse of the moment nnd scarce realizing what lie did , ho struck her with his list. The boy probably broke her jaw , as she did not cry out. She was knocked down , but she scrambled up and nmdo a deter mined attack on lior foe. She had no weapons of any sort , but she seized Baundorson and downed him and got Eiich a grip on his throat that he had to exert nil his strength to break it. lie flung her off and In turn got the same grip , but she bit nnd clawed him in n ferocious manner and when he had choked the Ufo out of her she still had her fingers in his hair. This body wont to keep company with the others , nnd then Saunderson" with drew to a safei * position. Tlio myster ious disappearance of thrco people from the village kicked upa great excitement before evening , but nlthotigh a hundred Indians scattered about to search for Ihem they found no clew to the mystery. Next dny Saundorson secured the scalp of a warrior and then loft the neighbor hood. During the next month he lived among the foothills of the Larnmio mountains and among bis stirring ad ventures ho relates this. Ho was stalking a door nnd was in the net of leveling his rillo toshoot , when he espied six Indians advancing along a trail. A moment later ono of them shot the same deer and the party at once pro ceeded to build a tire and cookn portion of the moat. They wore all full grown men , but felt so safe in their own terri tory that no precautions were taken. Every rillo in the party was placed atrainst iv contra ! tree , fifteen foot from the llro and as the Indians toasted their meat they sang , laughed and joked each other , like bo many boyn. Saundorson had cover to the tree spoken of , or with in a few feet of It , and when the redskins got to outing ho crept forward nnd got position behind a largo rock. He was above them , with the tree at his left. The largest Indian in the party sat fac ing him- and Siumdorson shot him stone ( load , Ho had his revolvers out before any of the Indiims wore on their foot , nnd as they sprang un he killed a second nnd wounded ono. The survivors bolted through the forest without attempting to secure tliolr guru , nnd the nvcngor Btiw no more of them. Ho seal pod the dead , cocked the rllles and started off to look for other victim * . If I had had the slightest doubt of the truth of this ad venture u queer turn of affairs would have more than satisfied mo. Whim Saunderson came into the fort It was Into in October and snow had already fallen. Ho announced his in tention of lying up somewhere along the south fork of the Larnmio for the winter - tor , and as the raiding season of the hostiles - tiles was about over I got leave of lib- fence for sixty da vs and decided to re turn with him. My mission was to pros pect for gold and silver among the moun tains , but I was well armed and equipped and on this trip wo took our thirty steel traps to captiuo fur. Wo had been en camped for three weeks before we had nn adventure with the Indians. Snuti- tlorson left camp ono dny without notice to me , and made a scout of eighteen miles and discovered an Indian village. There had boon a thaw and the ground wns now clear of snow. Ho found some squaws and boys gathering wood in the foothills , and ho killed and scalped a squaw and a boy of sixteen. An alarm was raised and ho retreated to a strong position , and in a Unlit at long rnniro ho Idlloda svnrrior , but could not sccuro his scalp. When night came the avenger re treated , but a light snow fell and the Indians pressed him closely. In his re turn toward camp Saundorson made for the snot where ho had cached the rilles , which was a mlle and a half from the spot whore I was waiting for him. At noon on the third day ol his absence I hoard rillo firing to the west of mo , and on going forward I was led to believe that a party of tivo or six white mon were surrounded on the crest of a rocky hill. I worked forward until I could draw a bead on an Indian , and as I opened fire tlio entire force , numbering about thirty , broke away in a panic. Then I found that Saundorson had killed one , wounded two , and had been holding his o\vn \ with the spare rifles. By January , ISO ! ! , Saunderson had thirty-nine Indian scalps. During all that year ho came into the fort but once. In January , JbGl , his scalps numbered over seventy. Ho then procured im proved firearm- , and fixed ammunition , ana on setting out for now adventures ho said to mo : "Before I come in again I shall bring the nnumbor up to tin even hundred. " "And you will quit IhenV" "No ; I shall have only begun ? " IIo had niado war on the Choyennes alone , and by this time the entire tribe was in state of excitement and terror. 1 heard of his doings oceasionly through half-breeds and trappers. Ho came nnd wont like a shadow. Sometimes ho left a trail , but if it was followed ono or more of his pursuers would bo killed. IIo killed old and young and knew no mercy. Ptirtles were made up to hunt him down , but they dould not Iind him. Assoon as ho got the reputation of being - , ing "a white spirit" his work was easier : ii there was no ardor in the puivuit of him. The Choyennes felt themselves accursed , and two or three dilTorent medicine men who tried to charm the sprit and failed were banished or pat ta death. The greatest slaughter Saundorson over indicted at ono time was on a band of a sub-chief called "Swift Horse. " This was in July , 1801. A camp of about sixty lodges was driven out of a valley in the Lnrumio mountains by a cloudburst , Everybody and everything had to run before the coining flood for about ono mile , when people and ponies dcllccted to the left and found safety in a gorge. The walls of this was almobt perpendicular , and their crests covered with shrubbery. While penned in hero Saunderfaon opened lire on them from above , and also rolled great rocks upon their heads. Many of the Indians were unarmed , and those who had tholr rillos could not use them against him. They reported that ho had killed twelve people ple and injured in my others. I after wards mot with ti Cheyenne whoso loft shoulder wns badly "lopped , " and ho tuld mo that it was crushed by ono of the stones flung into the gorge that day. Saundcrson had now become such a terror that the tribe , instead of splitting up into five or six bands , consolidated into ono for protection , and a largo num ber of youncr men were always scouting and on guard. If a war party left the village it was dogged and harassed , or the avenger took advantage to attack the village. Ono night in the spring of 1800 , while a war party of sixtv-four Choyonncs were camped on the North Fork of the Pintle , in Nebraska , Saun- dorson got imiong their horses during a furious snow squall and killed twenty- eight of them with ills knife. Ono of tlio guards who was called "Hear on the Hill , " whom 1 saw at Fort Laramie dur ing a truce , ran upon tlio white man as ho was doing his work and was killed nnd scalped. The war party at once re turned homo. On July 15 , ISOo , Saundorson appeared at the fort for the last ttmo. IIo mid an Indian pony , nnd brought in five Indian rillos and fourteen scalps. IIo had at this time upward of ono hundred scalps and had killed at least 110 Indiands and sfxty or seventy ponies. IIo was In the best of health , but wanted a now suit of buckskin and tv supply of ammunition. IIo had no idea of abandoning his quest for revenge , but on the contrary , was more determined than over. Ho rn- mained with us eight days , and then left the fort ono midnight , saying ho should probably como in again about the Arst of November. Ho was not seen or heard of again by any white man , nor yet any of the Indians. What his fate was no ono will over know. Had ho fallen into the hands of the red mon they would have boasted of it and had , any white man en countered him , word would have been passed along to us.

HIS GHOST MADE A WILL , A Lawyer Made an Innocent Partner to a Testamentary Fraud , WASN'T ' LEGAL BUT ENDED ALL RIGHT , When Did Old Mr. Husoli Die , nntl Did Ills lton.nl Grow After Dcatli c'lcver Huso of Ills Nephew. "Tho first will I over mndo was for a ghost , " says a writer In the Boston Olobo. "I had just received news that Mr. Husch , a wealthy old gentleman , was dead , when In ho walked. " " 'Can you make mo a short will that will utnnd'j" ho asked in a husky voice. " 'I can , I said. "Well , I want to leave everything I possess to Allen Uusch , my s'ster ' Ada only child. Go to work , for I must re turn to the house , " sinking Into a chair. "I don't ' want my other nephew , Potter , to have a cent. " I hurried through the will and then called in my noghbor , the barber , and his apprentice , to witness It. They signed with trembling lingers , for they hna hca.id the news , too , of tlio old man's death. I watched him go across the Holds to his house , not fur behind. The porch lay white in the moonlight , and , as the old man was about to open the tloor , someone pulled It from the in side and out walked Potter , with n grin upon his weazen face. It changed as ho saw the old man to a look of abject ter ror. IIo shrunk aside , clasped both hands over his eyes , uttered a terrible cry and How down the path , stumbling in his confusion and falling Hut upon his face among the petunias. I looked back again toward old Mr. Bubdi. IIo was gone. The next morning wo nil heard the nows. Old Mr. Btisch hail breathed his last at 7 o'clock. 1 confess I was startled , but that was no ghostly arm that leaned on mine when 1 walked up the path with Mr. Busoh the night before , and I could not ngreo with my neighbor , the hair- drcsborwho declared that it might have been nn "apnearanco. " Lawyer Thursby had a will in his keeping that loft everything to Potter , but the date of mine wsis its safeguard. They tried to urovo the old gentleman of unsound mind , but were merely laughed at. My neighbor , confessing that ho was not sure but that Mr. Buseh's ghost made the will that ho signed , but swearing to the nightcap and dressing gown as facts in silk and linen , caused much laughter , but the property went to the nephew. IIo was generous , and made a present to Potter which prevented him from suffering anything , and ho was a bettor heir to the old man's property than Potter - tor would have been. IIo made rno legal manager of his estate , and wo be came great friends. My friend , the hairdresser , however , had a certain trouble on hla mind which ho confided to mo. mo."It "It did not como up in court , " said ho , 'but did you notice Air. Buseh's face when ho signed that will that night ? Close shaved , not a spot on it , not even blue. " "Yes , " said I , " 1 did. " "I shaved him after ho was dead , Mr. Van Buskirk , " said the hairdresser in a hollow voice. "I was called in to do it about midnight and ho had a beard about an inch long. It had been grow ing over since ho was taken down. " "If I were you , Mr. Fan-on , " I said , "I would not mention that to any ono , or permit Samuel to do so. I know it to bo a fact , but it is not fashionable to believe in ghosts. " A year ago Allen Busch died. IIo lived too high a gay , wild life though ho was a good follow to the last. IIo never married. The day before ho passed away ho sent for mo. "I shan't bo alive tomorrow , " ho said , "and I want you to know the truth. "My Undo Busch died nt GitlO. I came down to see him on the 5 o'clock train , and wont up to his room without being seen. No ono was there. IIo was awake and going fast. " 'Allan , ' said ho , 'you have como to see me. ' " 'Yes , uncle , ' said I. 'I only hoard you were ill yesterday. ' " 'If you had only como sooner , Allan , ' said lie. 'I've been a fool. I want to change my will. Potter is a sneak. He's anxious to have mo die. I want you to have my money now , Ada's only t > on. " 'No matter about the will , ' said I. 'No matter about the money ; I can live by my profession. ' " 'I've been a prisoner , ' said the old man. 'I have not been allowed to see my friends. The doctor is a tool of Pot- tor's. I I nm neglected. Allan , I've been alone two hours , and I want some water dreadfully. ' "I gave him the water and ho put his hand on my arm and kissed mo. lie died that way. Nobody came near us , and I kissed him again and crept down stairs , but as I passed the dining-room I saw Potter nnd the doctor stulling thorn- solves and laughing , nnd then and there , what with contempt of them and a wish to see my uncle's last wish car ried out , as wollCas the natural longing for money that boomed mine by right , I hit upon a plan , I was nn actor , as you know , and my line was old men. More over I tun very like my uncle. I went back to his room , gave him ono more kiss ho was already cold took his gown and cap nntl slippers from the wardrobe , made myself up and came to you. You know the rest. I've nobody to leave my money to. Potter Is dead. I'd have been the heir In course of time , proba bly , at any rate. Suppose wo give this money to the orphans at the asylum.

Hut nftor that event ho was himself virtually a prisoner. The duo's letters ami these ho received had to bo read. Orders were sent down from Paris to make things as pleasant us might bo without scandalous disregard of the rulos. What the governor was constantly fear ing was the due fulling ill from Indiges tion.
