McDonald State Bank. North Platte, Nebraska. Ah one who hna known Major Walker nl nee 1380, It la my prrrllne nnd pleasure to testify to hl char acter, his loyalty and devotion to hit country, his bravery nnd iterlttiR uuftllttaa m x good citizen of North Platte. The writer img often seen him start nit t the head of hi command on al most n moment' notice to clime bos tile band of Sioux Indians whose pleasing duty wns attacking a line migrant or freighting outfit, stage roach, running off stock, burning I ranches, and leaving a wake of llnme land dissolution over hill and valley. The Major was always rondy and eager to lend his commnnd into the thickest of the fight. The rivors were nevertoo deep, night too dark, nor the roatV too long. As a rule he would accomplish what he started to da. The writer well remembers the Major as a member of the North Platte Uuards, which ho happened to com mand In tho last Indian fight with a band of thieving Slcux on tho east Ulrdwood near Squaw Crook, In the winter of 1S7S. I H Information reached ti that a band of I iid Inns wero stealing horsos and killing cattle on the Ulrdwood crook Acting on this Information, In tho ab sence of our captain, Major North, the writer as Ilrst lloutenant, gathorcd up what guards could be found. A fow of these. W. C. Rltnor, John Illnman and tho writer, aro living In North Plutte today. After arranging with the post com mnndor at Fort McPherson for a com pany of cavalry to aid us, eighteen of us, Including Major Walker, left North Platte at 11:00 p .m. In a snow storm on a dark bitter cold night, arriving at the fork of tho Ulrdwood creek at tho peop of day. While eating our cold frozen lunches Lt. Wheeler and his company of cavalry Joined us, when lt iwas arranged that tho Guards should locate the Indians, and he, Lieutenant Wheeler, would Join us in an hour and make the at tack together. The Lieutenant claimed he had orders not to fire on the Indians but said, "You make the attack and we (will help." With this understanding we started up tho creek, on the west side. Five guards were sent out with Instruction to drive the Indians from under the bank and out of the creek bottom, so that we could not get at them. It was 4:30 p. in. The Sma had al ready gone dosra. x-a the tbreo scouts, who MK abaed to arofal ambush, came rMSas; mp smA reported tho locatkw of tim fwtUm zismt on4 mile up tb Cr&, IHwy omU not ten how many imt ft? h4 z. hrsneh of abr,ut flftr bote spaafas on a little flat nr.-ar tb ac tmtmh of the creek.

The Indiana uxm diaeorered m and Dig Turkey, tb holi Indian chief. wearing a. t blanket, cam on top of tho bank and told mm In 8Uux to go away. The order wa given to fire at him and thre old long torn bullets lroppi;d near ftfni; on bullet goin botwwen the Indian'a kneoa causing him to Jump aoveral foot from the ground and disappear under the bank. Tho hwrd of Indian horsos became oxclted at our hot and camo a littlo closer to . It wan horo that brave Major Walkor volunteered to go and got that bunch of Indian horses, say ing, "If you will .covor mo with your gunii I win go and got that bunch of horso." The deed would have cost him his life slnco there woro twonty-two Indian all armed with Wlnchostor re peating rlflio. Enough to say that we brought that hunch of Indian horsos .

"This yoar. so far. has au ltterna In our buslneas of over one hum! ml per cent comparing sales with this period of last year," said Mr. Ogler, of the Ilondy-Oglor compnay. Tho Heiuly- Ogler company are local agents for tho Ford nnd Dadgo makes of cars. "Our greatest trouble now fg to get cars to fill the great demand," said Mr. Davrs of tho J. S. Davis Auto Co. "We are expecting a carload of Hudson car now any day though of lato we have been unablo to obtain our makes of cars In the quantities we should have them." The Davis company aro agents for tho Bulck. Mitchell and Hudson cars. "Our 1916 business this far has more than doubled that of last year," saltl Mr. Davis, "and we expect It to continue to get better." Tho Ltcoln Highway garage, hand ling the Apperson and Chevrolet make of cars, (while they have been operat ing over a period of something over a year, through tho tfwner, Mr. B. M. Smith, Is very optimistic regarding the automobile business for this year. "We expect a splendid year and should we continue the balance of this year as we have have commenced, the year will be a bumper," said Mr. Smith. Miner Hlnman, who is the local agent for Chalmers, Overland and Sax on makes of car, with headquarters in the 200 block on Dewey street, is of the same opinion expressed by other deal ers. "The automobile business thl year wii break all records for sales of cars and accessories," said Mr. Hln man. When questioned regarding business to date thl jrr C. U.
