A Romm CaxHll* Romhirdmoot Thmt fltempoded the Three Hundred Braves mad Started Them on a Run That Last ed Into the Neat Day. “We never called Rooney by the aame of Jaok, although hia Christian name was John, and in the cattle coun try they was tew men named after Christ's chief disciple who waa not known as Jaok. Wo always called him John Rooney. The last 1 ever heerd of him he were living up in Nebraska, not far from Ogallala, on tbe south fork of the Platte, just aftnr the stream loaves the Colorado line. ” Thus discoursed a former cattleman, who is now pursuing a peaceful and oommonplaca life in Kansas City, the other evening. He was talking of life on the big cattle range in the days whan the fame of Dodge City, Abilene, Hayes City and Kills was on the wane as tough towns of Kansas and their upbuilding as law abiding communities had begun. “In them days,” he oontinned, "our openings for fun was less frequent than national holidays are at present. It was mostly hard riding, and lots of it It gives ns all a sorter yearning to bust loose the oiaohes and raise hell at the first opportunity, and sometimes the way we did it was as unique as they was startling. Ths time 1 speak of in this pertickler yarn wo was grazing a big bunch of cattle, mostly long horns, in the Cherokee strip, along the north fork of the Canadian river, within a day's riding of old Fort Supply. The Oaages and some other tribes nsed to oomn in there for their green corn and harvest dances and have higbfallootin ole times In general. We all remarks this and speaks of it sorter scornful be cause we did not like Injuns muoh no how. When I say this, I don't mean that Rooney was the one to put the quirt to tne Injuns, tie was overquiet OB the subject. He generally was peaoe fullike and oa’m. He was a thinker, Rooney was, and with some schooling and a little politios would have been a great man in the oity I 'low. “About this time the camp begins to got short on grub, and some four or five of the boys was sent to Medicine Lodge, across the Kansas line, with wagons to bring back a supply of necessaries. Kan sus was not a prohibition state then, and you could get most any kind of stimulant in Medicine Lodge—that is to say, they bad rye and Bourbon whis ky. and 1 suppose they also had beer. In them days I never could see the vir tues of beer. “As I was saying, you oould get about any kind of liquor you wanted in Medicine Lodge, and so we kept pretty well wet. Rooney here displayed bis sagaoity. While we all had forgotten all about them pesky Injuns he comes in one day we was to leave and puts in to the wagon about 20 of them big rq man candles that shoot ten timea you know, eaoh shot a big ball of yellow, red or bluish flame. “ ‘What you going to do with them Fourth of July flxings now?’ we all asks, seeing as hew it was getting oloser to Thanksgiving. ’ “ ‘Never you mind that,’ said John, kinder winking his eye southeast. “ So we all was mighty ourious dtprigg the trip faaok to the Canadian, but says nothing. A few days after we gets baok Kepi Injuns begins gathering for a an lal feast of some kind, ana then one night they prepares for one of them dances. Of course, all of the boys what oould be spared wanted off to see the of war and unfolded the secret of them roman candles what be bought at Med ians Lodge. He tells all the boys, some 16 in cumber, to stay with him, and leads Uie way to the timber, where the ghost dance was going on. We all takee one of them roman oandles and no one speaks a word or ooogbs or makes any lond signs. “ When them 800 braves was a-tearing up the ground and yelling at the neignt of the dance, we gets the word from Rooney and lights op them oandlee simultaneous, and they begin shooting fire and brimstone into them Injuns sure enough. The boys wasn’t used to shooting off them things and was about half scared tbeirselves at the devilish hissing and the sparks, but them Injuns —well, I can't say what they thought, but it was plain bow they acted. Some of 'em took to the other side of the woods, some jumped straight up, a lot went for the north fork of the Canadian, running so fast it 'ud take four men to see 'em. Stop then? Well, I guess ngt. They jumped right in and swum for dear life. They never stopped to see that the blamed fire had quit, and fal len working on the range the other side of the fork said they saw them running the nest morning when they was just starting ibetr day's riding. ‘'That night's devtliuant like to got us all Into trouble, though, and the most of ua discreetly struck out far Kausaa to avoid any uupleasant uouse qaeui'ea.
