Whllo In attendance at the national en campment of tho Grand Army of tho lie puhlio at Indimiapolls last week, a Hkhai.d representative met Capt. "Jack" Craw ord, a former resident of Shenandoah, now famous as tho poet scout of tho gloat wild west, and ono of tho beat known and most popular men of tho "boys In bluo." At tho second session of tho encampment Cnpt. "Jack" mado tho speech of his llfo in .nominating his friend, Capt. Blggor, of Toxas, for Junior VIco Commander, and secured his unani mous election. Captain Crawford's present homo Is at Fort Craig, Now Mcxlco.&IIo was tho centra of an admiring group of old soldiers at ono of tho leading Indianapolis hotels ono night last week when a Hint ami representative met him. "I never killed an Indian in my life," said Crawford In answer to n scoro of ques tions regarding frontier llfo which had been fired at him simultaneously. "Olio thing I dislike about these stories of frontier llfo is tho red firo that tho dlmo novels give. Theso blood.aud-lhundcr stories aro tho most demoralizing uorks that can bo turned loo: on a small boy.j I havo received good oifers to lend my name to stories that other men would wrlto about dreadful doings of Indians and bad men on tho frontier, but I hav always refused. For tho last four years I was special agent of the Department of Justice running down casos where men sold liquor to Indians. I took a special delight In work lug on theso cases, for I hollevo nearly all tho Indian troubles aro caused by furnishing tho Indians whisky. No; I do not hold the losltion now. I mado political speeches and sang political songs in New York last fall for the Uepublirans, and my friends sny that tlicso songs and speeches went a good way towards elected Grover Clovoland. lcs, no continued, "tlio Indian wais and troubles aro a matter of tho past. Thero will bo no uioro Iroublo except where tin young bucks get dissatisfied and start out steal horses. Sometimes they will kill miner or sonio out-of-tho-way fellow and then slip back to tho reservation. "Tho Kid,' a bad Apache, is now at largo In tb Whito mountains of Now Mexico, with sovoral thousand dollars of rewaids on his head, dead or alive. Ho would give himself up if ho did not know that ho would be hanged as soon as ho comes in." "I was a newspaper man after a fnshlon during tho troubles in tho Black Hlllf," ho continued after a whllo. "At that timo I was tho courier for tho Now York Herald. After tho Custer massacre I rodo 850 miles with dispatches for that paper, making tho jaunt in threo days and half, killing two horses and beating fivo relays that wero compoting with mo. Bennett paid mo $300 for that trip, and allowed mo $222 for tho horses that wero killed and for tho incidental expenses, I think that was ono of tho greatest rides ovor mado in such service I was at the Black hills at tho timo of tho famous massacre carrying minerals toward Chicago for a party oi miners, l was one of tho first men in th Black hills country after it as opened un hv the I government. Yes, I havo knocked about a great deal, and I havo missed a great many opportunities that camo to othi-rs, never went to school a day in my llfo, and all tnat I havo picked up in tho way of cduca lion nas been sinco I left the army at tho close of tho civil war." Captain Crawford is also widely known as a frontiersman who has never touched a, drop ot liquor, and this is somewhat remarkable, wncu lus surroundings in tho last thirty years aio considered. He has been subjected to numerous temptations, of courso, and ho speaks of them in this manner: uncc I liad a six-shooter showed under my nose, with the request that I tako somo red liquor, but this was not half the tempta lion mat camo to mo when I sat down at a banquet in Boston and a young lady asked mo to drink a toast with her. About that six shooter cpisodo? A fellow named 'Wild Bill' and myself were in asaloouatChoyenno when a bulldozer camo in and insisted that wo drink. I was willing to take a lemonade, out mo stranger wanted all hands to take whisky. I demurred and Mr. Stranger got angry. Ho wanted to fight, but 'Wild Bill steps in and says ho Is doing the fighting for me. Iho stranger persisted and 'Wild Bill' sent him sprawling under the table. Mr. Stranger oanie up and told 'Wild Bill' that ho did not believe 'Wild Bill" could do it again. My ft-iend mads another move and the stranger pulled his revolver half way out of his business pocket. 'Wild Bill' had a gun under tlio stranger's nose in quick order and the stranger retired. When my mother was dying she asked me never to drink, and that is one of hor wishes that I have always ob serveu. x uo not Deiong to any church or temperance Bociety, but tho old religion I got at my mother's knee and her last request, havo stayed with mo all through life."

Nearly all present took part in tho discussions and for about an hour tho meet ing was quite an interesting ono. Contractor M. P. Qui mi and Supervising Engineer Womoledorf wero present and the latter was kept busy answering questions and oxplaiuiug tho work done and to bo done. Mr. Wouielsdorf said, when asked abe-ufc tho necessity fur keeping watchmen on. the Bito selected for the lower Tcservolr, which Is ou ex-Senator Torbet's laud, that no tncu wero needed for that purpose; that when he was appointed engineer ho entered upon tho land and drove a stako, which practically put him in possession as a borough representative, and there is no Jaw that can tako that possession from him. Mr. Womelsdorf also stated that ex-Senator Torbct had agreed that ho (Mr. Womelsdorf) honld bo arbitra tor in fixing tho prico which tho xjorough Council should pay for tho land It took. ' Jrr. Womolsdorf added that ho would not scr,vo as arbitrator until the Council could make it written agreement with ex-Senator Torbet to tho effect that the decision of tho arbitrator should bo final. In tho absence of such au agreement ho said tho negotiations would bo fruitless. If the decision suited him ho could abido by Hand if it was not satisfactory ho could renounco It. In answer to questions by Councilmen tba secretary said ho had notified ex-Senator Torbet to attend tho meeting and had ro ceived no reply. Messrs. Coakley and Doughortv said that in view of Mr. Woruelsdorfs statement it was unnecessary to keep two watchmen on tho land at an expense of $00 per mouth; but Mr. Womelsdorf subsequently said that ho did not wish Council to teko his statement as n legal opinion on tho question and tho Bor ough Solicitor had better bo consulted. Tho matter was finally dropped without any definite action being taken as to tho prico of tho laud or tho continued employ, mcut of tho watchmen. Borough Treasurer Bradigan reported that $27,500 worth of water bonds had been sold and $12,300 worth subscribed for. Contractor Quinn presented a bill for a net balanco of $5,113.37, and an order waa authorized for the amount.
