A FRONTIER HERO. THH REMARKABLE CAREER OF BOONE MAY. He Clears tlie Black Hills of Stage Robbers—An Extraordinary Battle With ISO Indians— His Career in Chili. Amos J. Cummings gives in the New York iSun an account of the career of Boone May, a remarkable AVestern character. May went to the Black Hills from Missouri, and was employed to guard the coaches which ran between Deadwood and Cheyenne, anil which were frequently robbed by road agents. May became a terror to the road agents, and to him more than to any other man is due the credit of clearing the country of stage robbers. This remarkable man remained in the service of the stage com pany until 1880. In that year the well known Homestage Company got involved in a dispute concerning a mining property. They required the services of a man of undoubted coolness and courage to pro tect it. They bid high for Boone and secured him. His reputation was enough. Nobody cared to disturb anything that he WHS guarding. That, winter Boone May went hunting and trapping with a party in the Moro country. It was along the Little Missouri River, on the border of the Sioux Indian reservation. The party in cluded John Jackson, Tom Porter, Fred Richards and A. M. Richards. They trapped for several weeks without much luck. One morning Boone proposed that they move their traps to the Indian reservation, where beaver aud other game were in abundance. The whole party protested. They reminded Boone that the law punished trespassing on such reservations, and warned him of the con sequences if he carried out his attempt. Boone was persistent. He threatened to go into the reservation alone if none would go with him. After demurring strongly, three of the party agreed to accompany him. A. M. Richards went back to Deadwood, predicting untoward results. The prediction was verified. What happened would have electrified the nation if the news had reached the world. It parallels the achievement of Napoleon at Lodi and of Leonidas at Thermopylae. The trappers entered the Indian coun try, aud got lots of fur<. They were there a month when the savages discov ered them. It was a bright sunny day in spring. They were camped upon a branch of either the Moro or the Little Missouri—probably the latter. Their horses were picketed near by, and feed ing upon the high grass bordering the stream. It was about mid-day, and the trappers were cooking dinner. The camp was near the foot of a con ical hill. It was aroused by an exclama tion from Boone May. He was looking to the northwest. At least 150 mounted Sioux had broken from behind the hill, a quarter of a mile away. They were com ing for the camp like the wind, with a full front. Boone's companions were paralyzed. He stood by the camp fire rifle in hand, advising them what to do. They first rushed for their guns and horses. Three of the steeds were tethered on the bank, aud one was below it. Boone remained at the camp fire, facing the Indians, with the river iti his rear. Two of his comrades secured shelter un der the bank of the stream, where they awaited the outset. The third was lead ing his horse under cover, when the Sioux burst upon them like astorm cloud. They swept upon them as the Mamelukes swept upon the French at the Pyramids. As they Beared the trappers their line b»-oke into a single column, and whirled past the face of the camp like a tor nado. Each savage threw himself over the side of his horse, and emptied his gun as he dashed by. They killed Fred Richards's horse as he was trying to lead him to the shelter of the bank. Freil was pulling at the bridle, unaware of the fate of the animul, when Boone shouted, "Your horse is dead. Use him as a breastwork." Richards did so. Boone May, how ever. remained at the camp tire like a statue. He took the lire of the Sioux without flinching. He emptied his Win chester at the human whirlwind, and was hurriedly seconded by the two men under the bank. Fred Richards had hardly opened fire when the Indians disappeared around the point of the hill on the right. The trappers hurriedly reloaded their guns, and Boone shoved new cartridges into his six-shooters. In five minutes the Sioux again broke from behind the hill on the left, and made a new and more furious charge. Their war whoop was terrible. Their poaies swept by like race horses at the Derby. Boone moved not a foot, but deliberately emptied both gun and revolvers, bringing down an Indian or a pony at every shot. A second time tin- savages swept round the hill. They essayed a third charge, with no better results. Boone stood likf an avenging deity, and showered their with death. He came out of the tich' unscathed. None of his comrades was injured. The Sioux never rallied after the third charge. They sped away dismayed and dejected. Sixty-three ponies and thirty three Indians were left dead on the ground. Fred Richards afterward said that he be lieved Boone May killed nearly every one of them. Such was an actual occurrence In the life of this extraordinary man. It is no chapter from one of Emerson Bennett's Indian stories. For obvious reasons I have given Boone's companions fictitious names. One is dend, and file others are living. There are many army officers and Indian agents who have heard the bitter complaints of the Sioux. They had bearded the lion in his den, and had suffered the consequences. A hundred mountain lions could not have created so great consternation and havoc. The trappers swore each other to secrecy, and returned to Deadwood. The Sioux urged the Government to take steps to ward their punishment. Detectives were detailed to secure evidence. The men were suspected, but proof of the occur rence was lacking. A month afterward Boone and U. S. Marshall Lewellen captumed one Curley, a noted road agent. He was wanted for robbing the mails. The two men cap tured him alive and brought his dead body into Deadwood. They said that he tried to escape a few miles south of Fort Weed and that they shot him. Curley ? s friends and others asserted that a wanton crime had been committed. The two men were indicted, tried, and acquitted. By this time United States detectives were hot upon the trail of the trespassers upon the Sioux Indian reservation. For once Boone May recognized that discre tion was the better part of valor. He fled to Mexico. The Mexicans marveled at his proficiency with the rifle and revol ver. Life there, however, was distaste ful to him. He returned to the United States and settled in the Gunnison coun try in Colorado. Not long afterward he heard that Government officers were again upon his trail. The information came from friends at Deadwood. In liis dilemma he learned that an old Black Hills partner of the name of Pettijohn hail marrieil a rich belle in Chili, and was engaged there in mining operations. Boone went to Chili. He was warmly welcomed by l'ettijohn. He remained in Chili for a year or more,when he heard of rich silver discoveries in Bolivia. Pettijohn accompanied him over the range, but soon afterward returned to Santiago. Boone remained in Bolivia with a cowboy, who had fled from the Black Ilills under the charge of murder ing a man at Spearfish. His exile had made Boone a changed man. lie lost his quiet spirit, and took to drinking and roystering. While at a dance one night his attentions to a beauti ful girl aroused the jealousy of a Brazilian officer. 11c ordered the soldier to arrest the American. Boone knew that an ar rest involved a long imprisonment with out a trial. He was too much of a man to quarrel with a soldier obeying orders. Turning to the officer, he said: "Be so kind as to revoke your order. I have done nothing that should put me under arrest." The officer remained obstinate. "Ar rest him," he shouted to the soldier. Booue drew his revolver. "Revoke the order or I'll kill you," he ex claimed. | The officer again refused. A shot was ' heard. He fell dead. Boone May had i been as good as his word. The com panions fled among the Indians near the head of the Amazon. After many '■ exciting adventures they made their way I over the pampas to Kio Janiero. A I letter was received at Deadwood from i Boone after his arrival there. Yellow i fever was raging in the city. This was years ago. As nothing has since been heard of him, it is supposed that he died in Kio of that epidemic. A Dog That Prints a Paper. Printing presses are usually run in i this country by steam power, by water power, electric motors, and by main strength aud awkwardness; but the ma chine that grinds out the Plain City ' Dealer is run by dog power.

Cleats are placed about 1 a foot apart on the inside of the wheel, | where ".loc," the journalistic dog, walks ! his weary round aud thus causes the | J i wheel to revolve. Joe has run the press I for about live years, and has faithfully earned his hash every week. It is now about time for him to die and go where good dogs always go, and the proprietor of the Dealer is casting around for an other canine. Part of Joe is shepherd 1 and the rest is common, every day dog. Uolumbun (Ohio) Post. When Washington became President, 'in 1789, the jsountry contained less than ! four millions of people.
