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

In interviewing Mie local dealen a
Tribune reproaontatlvo found all loeat

local prospects for the yaar 191.
"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
