From tfte Chicago Tt Clune.1
Ti e celebrated Indian fighter. '-Comanche
Bill," called at thiscffioe yesterday moraiDg
to pay hia respects to the local staff. Bill
vras Pbked if be would like to bo "inter
viewed," and he inquired if that rueaLt to
talk." and when informed that an account
c f Lis life and bis fights with tho red skins
v..u!d be very acceptable, he said he bad uo
obJyct'iODS to telling what he had seen and
done. After imbibing two gills of "fire
water" he sat down and began :
Comanche Bill The difficulty with mo is
to know how to corumeuce. Do you want
me to start out from the time I left Minne
sola 7
Reporter Yes.
0. B. Well, I can just teTl you. The
massacre commenced on the 18'h of August,
1862, and my parents were killed the next
d.iy after the massacre commenced. I was
thirty miles from home when they were kiiled
up at ihe Backwoods Agency.
R. How old wore you then ?
C. B. I was 17. When I came back
tbey were dead. I got a lock of my mother's
hair, which 1 have yet. and I swore I would
have a scalp for every hair iu it, and I started
right after them.
R. What direction did they take?
C. B. Northwest ; up through Dakota.
They were S.oux, and the chief of the war
party was Black Wolf. I tackled him in
1866, on Christmas, just above the canyon
on Silver Lake, near the Yellowetoue Uiver.
it. Was his party with him 7
C. B. Yes. and his party "got back."
R. Did you have a party with you?
C. B. Yes; sixty as good men as ever
clucn a saddle. We went into them, and I
got shot in the jaw. I had a chaw of tobac
co in my mouth, and it went out suddent, I
tell you ; it played hell with the tobacco,
and I went out of the saddle. Then I had
my jaw bound up. His band was almost all
killed when I met him. He hail my moth
er'a scalp on his shield. Says I, "Now I
will get you." Well, I was just blind with
rage, perfectly wild with rage, and under uo
control. I rushed afier him, and the chief
of the scouts tried to keep me back. My
knife was about a foot long. The old man
saw I wes determined to go after old Black
Wolf, ao he says, putting his hand back of
hia neck and drawing a blade about eighteen
inches long, "Go at him with this, Bill." I
took the knife and went for him. I struck
at him, and he threw off the blow with his
shield. I pred away at him, saying.
'You don't make anything by that, you old
. I ill gfct yon." I made a cut at
him and cut him on the arm, cutting into it
below the elbow, clear through the muscles
to tha bone. lie made a grab for me, and
would have finished me, but one of the fel
lows was about to brain him with his ride,
when I shoved my knife into his "wrzen."
I was cut all to pieces ; got seventeon cuts
and shots in that scrimmage."
R. Did you kill him ?
C. B. I don't know, but I lifted his ha'r.
I was cut to piece.", and was takpn down, to
the Yellowstone. That was in '06.
R Where was your sister at this time?
C. B I knew she was sold to the Chey
ennes, and I supposed she was dead, and I
did not pay any attention to anything for a
while. I got reckless following around. I
didn't tell you about being among the Black
feet. I was out after my sister, up in the
Wind River country, on a trip, and I laid
down to sleep. Somehow my horse had got
astray, and I went after him. Wheu I got
up to him, I see nobody, but he waa corral
led. Then I see some reds around, and one
of them got too inquisitive, and I drove a
knife into his "wezen," and he concluded he
did not want to have any more to do with
me. They took me prisoner, however, and
carried me into their camp, and pounded my
finger nails iff.
11. Why did they do that ?
C. B. To torture me. They tied me down
and pouuded ray fingernails till they peeled
rff. It wis fun f'-r them, but death on me.
They turned me over to an old squaw about
80 years old, and she used to larrup me like
beating tan bark ! She used
to larrup mo every day. Finally, one night,
it commeuced to rain, and thu thong with
which I was tied got wet, and I got my fi .t
out. When the old woman c.ime in to go
for me I went fur her and bound her, and I
got away, and all I eat for t,ix days was one
roasted rattlesrake. Yuu may thit.k I am
blowing, but I will swear to it. I got to the
post and had my hands fixed up. and it was
two months before I could lift a bridle.
When I could. I lifted ten scalps for the ten
fitiger nails. It was no more than fair, was
it? That is all of that trip, and the tixt
thing is something else. I will be d d if I
know what to tell you.
11. In youi fights with the Indians was
there always a party with you?
C. B. No. I was almost always alone. I
had a party oi.ee with m when I got after
Miss Wilson, who lives iu Boston, ilass.
.Vhen wa that ?
C. B. Iu 1SG5.
II Did you kuow she was with the In
dians ?
0 B. I see her captured. She was taken
from an excursion train above Laramie.
When I got after her I rode back to thu fort
to get some cartridges for my revolver and
rifle, and the old man wanted to know where
I was going. I told him to fjMow me, as I
was going to have that girl if it took years.
I followed the reds about a werk.and finally
tot fcight of them. As luck would have it.
they had captured a train and got a good
deal of whiskey. I bid there in the bush
liear them, and they were raising hell all
night long. I knew where the girl was,
'cause I saw thtm strip her and put her in a
lodge. Finally, I concluded I would got her
out. I was mad and my hoi.e was mad at
the devils. He wanted to have something
to do with it. I rode up to withic thiity
yards ol the lodge, and made a drive for it.
One Indian was sitting by the door, but he
didn't say nothing. He lo. ked up, and I
put my band over his mouth and gave him
a cat, aud he concluded he didn't wai.t anv
more to say. I taw the girl ; the wus lying
down. Her skin was to white I could t-ee
her plainly in the darkness. I got up to the
place where the was lyiug, aud when sdie see
me she was going to give a yell ; but I put
my hand over her mouth and tays. "None of
that; I want to get yon out of this." Savs
6he, "Are you white?" I told her "pretty
near as white as they make 'em." I got her
out of the lodge, and everything went well
until I got her to the horse, when she faint
ed. I didn't know how to get her to ; I
never had a woman to faint in my arms be
fore, and I gave her a kick or two, but that
didn't do any good.- I had a canteen of rot
gut that would kill a man at twenty rods,
and g .t her mouth open and poured hall of
the contents of the canteen down her throat.
That brought her to. My horse is so if you
touched him behind the fore leg he would nip
you. I had truned him to do that, so tint
the boy wouldn't be f.ndiiig with him. He
would h': let n put her in the saddle, and
f h.! to tyl -.. r ii'! ',. r uo. As I did
s . ii:i Lx. iv toi i f. i r .-: ; f t).e
ma-luie, si) J ciu.-I.t her, and be screamed.
Then the I.idians made for us, and I tried to !
stampede their stck which was corralleil
there, but they wouldn't" stampede werth a
d n. They were coming, and I knew it
was to be a ride for life. I put her in froct
of me, and away we went. When I had
rode about two miles I looked back and see
ihem coming, andthe leaders were only
about two hundred yards from me. I said
to myself, "I will send cue 'home,'" and I
reined up old "Bed Clcud." and drew up
my rifle aud let go. One redskin dropped
out of his saddle. I rode on across a creek,
near which our soldiers were encamped.
The reds were bound to capture me ; so on
they came. They had no idea the soldiers
were around. I rode into the busbos, and
the CapUiu said to me, "Bill, make the
horse liedowD.so they wou't see us." When
ihe reds came up the soldiers let go a volley
into them, and they concluded they didn't
waut any more, so they went back. I took
the gal into the post, and never seen her
again until 18G7, and not since then.
R. Where is she living now ?
C. B. She lives iu Boston, Massachusetts.
I have her picture (showing it). "She is ore
of the girls you read about, be is. I got
the picture in the States in '67.
R. What have you beeu doing since '67?
C. B. Looking after my sister.
II. Have you killed many Indians?
C. B. Oh ! rubbed out a few.
R. How did you kill thtm?
C. B Shot 'em and cut 'em.
R How did you get at them 1
C. B. Took them off singly, or run into
a baud when I knew I could get away. I
have got all the band that killed my family,
R. How many of tluro were there?
C. R. Ninety-six. I have all their scalps.
R. How many scalps have you takeu al
together ?
(J. B. I can't tell you.
R. Did you "raise the hair" of every one
you killed ?
C. B. Yes, you bet.
R. You are well known among the Indi
ans, are you not ?
C. B. Yes, as "Red Flx."
R. If they fchonld catch you again they'll
not be likely to pound your finger nails ?
C. B. No, they will kill me deader than
hell ; I ctuld never get away from them
again.
R. How do you manage to subsist out in
that country ?
C. B. 1 "generally live on what I kill. I
carry a little salt, and fl ur, and coffee, with
me.
R. Do vou go into the posts often ?
C B. 0;i, once iu a while, to get a good
lunch.
R. What part of the country were you
in last 7 y
C. B. I was in Arizona lat.
R. That is a rough country ?
C. B. Yes. the famous Tache country.
I did not tell 3 ou about the fellow that came
back with us from there? I had been
"sijns
Ii What ".-.igns"?
C. B. Indian signs ; and I told the boys
that morning we would be attacked before
night, aud they laughed at it. We war rid
ing along about 10 o'clock, and I see a horse
off to the right of the trail, grazing. And
this fellow tays, "I am going alter that
horse." His uame was Walters, and he
lived in Michiguu. I don't know what town.
He says, "I am going after that horse;" and
eays I, "Y'uu're a darned fool." Says he.
"You fellows who stay on these plains any
time get cowardly, aud don't like to risk
anything." I says. '-That horse has got a
rider, and you will find it out if you go over
thar." He says, "No, he has uot." "Well."
says I, "go ahead, then." And he went,
and when he got about twenty feet from the
horse he fell out of his saddle with an arrow
iu his weazen. They didn't get his ha'r,
but they got his life. What's the difference?
I get the red that's all I could do for him.
R. Have you ever been in captivity ex
cept on the occasion you mentioned?
C. B. No. I don't take any part with
them Ii.juns. I never want to talk to an In
jun if I can possibly help it.
R Do ycu speak their language?
C. B. Ye, some of them, but 1 don't like
to talk it. I never shook but one Injun by
the hand, and he had white blood iu him or
I wouldn't have done it.
R What tiibes are the most dangerous?
C. B- The 'Baches and Comanches in the
Southwest, a:.d the Blackfeet and the Chey
eunes in the Northwest. There is little dif
ference between them.
R. How many mi'es have you traveled
sir:co vou Mar'ed in pursuit of your sister?
C. B. Well, I couldn't tell you. I have
rode from the mouth of the Yellowstone to
the "Healey" (?) Uiver twice that is. from
the Northwest ot the country to the South-,
east. I have been in the Southwest mobt of
the time.
R. Have you any relatives living in the
States ?
C. B. No. The only relative I have is
my titter.
Ii. Where do you think she is now?
C. B. Sho is about seventy miles souih-we-t
of the 'Pache Pass, on the Stake Plains.
It. When are you going out agiu ?
C. B. I will start on the 22d of uext
nior th. I am goiug to have her or loso my
ha'r I don't give a d u which.
R. How would you know her if you
found her ?
C. B. I can tell her by a maik on her
right cheek.
U How long have you owned and rid
den your horse "Red Cloud"?
U. B. I rode him from 1861 until three
month? ago. when he broke a leg at Fort
Gibson, Arkansas.
R- If 30U find your sister will you bring
her to the JStates ?
C. B. Ye ; if I get her I will give her in
chaige of J. N. Djwey, of Fond du Lie.
R Will you give up hunting Indians if
you get her?
C B No; I am going to keep on until I
get the number I waut.
R How many do you want?
C. B. I want a scalp for every hair in
the lock I got of my mother's hair.
R. Y'ou have a big job ou hand.
C. B. I will kill them until I go under.
Well, I might as well do that as anything
else. Every man to his trade, I am at no
peace with Lj ins.
R Are the United States troops good In
dian fighters ? "
C. B. No. If you put proper officers
over thrrn they might do something.
Bill here pointed to his pants, which are
buckskin, and remarked that they were cut
in the latest style "spring bottom." There
was but one seam in them. A tailor in Ari
zona cut them out, and he told him "he
would pay him one-half when he died and
the other half when-he came back.'J
R. Which do you consider the best In
dian fighter among the U. S. officers'?
C.B. Well.I don't k now. Do you mean
subordinate officers or commanders of the de
partment? .
R Either.
C. B. Sheridan. -R.
How docs Crook do?
C. B. He is vey feood. He is a new man.
but he is learning now. Custt r is very good.
Ii Are you a go jd shot ?
-C B Pretty good. Let them organiz-s
rangers like them ou the Texan frontier aDd .'
the Indians could bo kept iu check all the''
time. The reds are getting d d sharp now
a days. They see and know what tbey can
do. They make peace in the winter time,
but the minute the grass gets big enough
for their r onies thev so on the war-path. A
few of them gets killed, but they breed as
fast as we kill them. They killed my part
ner. Jim Briden, about eighteen months ago.
and I have got to get some scalps for him
yet. He was ranching near Denver. The
Indians came along and killed his wife, and
cut him up pretty bad. and left him for dead.
They killed his child, and drove a lance
through his wife's stomach and sat down
aud laughed at her. Jim and I followed
them and got several of the band, but not
Linder, the chief of the Comanches. He
was in charge. I will kill him whenever I
meet him, if it was in a church or in the
White House, a:.d I would cut my way
through twenty men to get at him. Bill
here became very much excited, and ground
his teeth as if he meant business. )
R. Did vou ranch e with Biidec ?
C. B. Yes. No man ever came to hia
ranch, rich or poor, but he would divide his
last piece of meat and bread with him.
R. Did he go with you after the band?
C. B Y'es ; and he kept with me until
we rubbed out a good many of them. He
has gone under, and I think he stands as
good a chance to get to heaven ac a good
many men who would not shake bands with
him. He died to save a man's life. He put
a wounded man on his horse to get him away,
and while running alongside was struck with
a lance and pir.ned to the ground. Never
mind, I will pay the devils up for that, see
if I don't. They never killed a friend of
mine but I get even with them if it takes all
my life
This ended the interview. Bill remark
ing that he did not feel like talking. After
presenting the reporter with his photogroph
he said "good by" and left the office.

Early Risikg. The following suits our
theory (and practice) to a fraction :
And this talk about early rising is moon
shine. The habit of turning out of bed in
the middle of the night suits Some people,
let them enjoy it. But it is only folly to lay
down a general rule upon the subject. Some
men are fit for nothiug all day after they
have risen early every morniug. Their en
ergies are deadened, their imaginations are
heavy, their spirits are depressed. It is said
you can work so well in the morning. Some
people can, but others can work best at
uight; others again, in the afternoon. Long
trial and experiment forms the only conclu
sive tests upon these points.
As for getting up early because Professor
Gammon has written letters to the papers
proving the necesrdty of it, let no one be
goose enough to do it.
We all know the model man, aged eighty;
I invariably, arise at five; I work thiee
hours, take a light breakfast namely, a
cracker aud a pinch of salt; work five hours
more ; never smoke, never drink anything
but barley water, eat no dinuer, and goto
bed at six in the evening."
If anj body finds that donkeyfied sort of
life suit him, by all means let hirn contiuue
it. But few people would care to live to
eighty ou these terms. If a man caunot
get all withered and cramped up on easier
conditions than those, it is almost as well
that he should depart before he is a nuisance
to himself and a bore to everybody else.
School boys ' and yonug people generally,
ought to get up early, for it is said nine-teutha
of them can stand it, and it does them good.
But let no one torture himself with the
thought that he could have been twice as
good a man as he is if he had risen every
morning at day-light. The habit would kill
half of us in less than five years.
