"LAST CUSTER SURVIVOR”
ENCOUNTERS COLONEL CODY
And so William Frederick Cody (‘'Buf
falo Bill”), a native son of Iowa and an
adopted son of Kansas, lived his days. Kind
to all whom he thought worthy, generous
to a fault, brave and true to his trust, he
carved his initials in the Western hall of
fame with a .six-shooter and a pair of sil
ver spurs. If there was any one thing in
the world that made Buffalo Bill more an
gry than anything else it was for one to
say something about a survivor of the Cus
ter massacre. Every once in a while such
an impostor is found. During his last
visit to Portland Cody told the writer of
an experience he had In San Diego not
long before.
When i got tnrougn wan nan mnr
wasn’t anything left to say, the colonel
stated. "And I didn’t talk much, either."
"Some of my friends told me when 1
reached town that the only survivor of the
Custer massacre lived there. I said to them
that any white man who said he was a
survivor of that fight had no regard for the
truth.”
The colonel paused a moment to explain
hat those were not the exact words he
used, but that they expressed the meaning
he had imparted.
"Well, he came to see me in my dressing
tent, just like you are here, but he never
sat down. He walked in and .said: ‘How
do you do. Colonel Bill? I am the only
survivor of the Custer massacre.’
"I looked clean through his ugly car
cass for a minute and then I said: ‘You
are a liar!'
"He turned on his heel and pulled his
freight. I was told he left town that night
And, sir, I wish to say without one word
of boasting that it was a mighty good
thing for him that he didn't say any more
than he did.”—Ex.

WORD FROM STEFANSSON
BROUGHT OUT BY POLICE
The Canadian Royal Northwest mounted
police expedition arrived at Dawson March
S with news of Stefansson, the Arctic ex
plorer. who was with the Polar Bear win
tering at Prince of Wales strait. The news,
the first in months front the explorer, was
brought from Herschel island bv Captain
Lenauie, commander of the Herschel island
police, who made the trip of 200 miles to
Fort McPherson alone with a dog team,
considered a remarkable feat in Arctic
travel.
Lenauie says Btefansson hopes the ice
will let him escape northward, so that he
can make the Northwest passage, conclud
ing his voyage at Montreal. Lenauie says
the explorer declares the so-eallcd white
Eskimos are a myth.
The expedition brought news that Le
haute last summer crossed Coronation gulf
from Great Bear lake and captured two
Copper Eskimos who, it is charged, mur
dered two Catholic priests, Fathers Rou
viere and Leroux, in the vicinity of thi
Dismal lakes, four years ago. They an
held at Herschel island, and will be takei
to Fort McPherson in the spring
The police expedition, which left Daw
yon January 6, for ten days encounteret
temperatures approximately 70 degrees be
low zero. It reports the Hudson Bay gaso
line schooner Fort McPherson last Junt
reached the Arctic Red river post from
Kittygazuit, on the Arctic coast, the first
ocean-going vessel to navigate the Macken
zie delta.
YUKONERS IN ENGLAND
The message to the News yesterday an
nouneing the safe arrival of the Y ukor
infantry company in England brought
cheer to many an anxious heart in Dawson,
The boys left the Canadian side just in
time to have to run the blockade line
among the first, if not the very first of ail
troops to enter that hazardous zone sinec
the Hun deliberately started to run amuck.
That the contingent got past in safety
bespeaks the great skill of the British navi
gators and the ample protection afforded
transports by the grand Heet. The inside
story of Britain’s vigilance in the Atlantic
and the North sea and everywhere girding
the tight little isle may never be revealed
to the world in detail; the war office may
deem it indiscreet to publish even many
years hence the chronicles in full, but it is
patent to the observant today that Britain’s
fast cruisers, her great battleships and her
many destroyers, submarines, sea wasps and
other craft are doing a mighty service.
Yukoners at home have reason to be
thankful today that the Jack Tars of the
British navy are rendering the highway to
Europe safe. The thought is brought home
to Y ukon more direct right now than it
could have been conveyed in any other way.
A little later the same boys will be cross
ng the channel, under similar guidance,
and perhaps it will not be long until the
'ads who left here last summer with Capt.
Black will he carrying the name and fame
of Y ukon forward on the field of triumph.—
