OLD JERRY'S CLAIM
El' J. Q. FOWEEIt,
vf-*—tT" |f5S HE spring of 1870
E . M saw we one of a
community of
"squatters" in
Southeastern Kan-
A; i sus. Tlio land on
which we had set-
p'-- tied witliont an
thoritybelonged to
tho Osage Indians,
fi' hut was about to
pass into tho hands of tho Govern
ment, to ho openod up for settlement
under the pre-emption laws. Wo es
tablished n postollico and trading
place, giving it tho name of Osaco
City.
Thoro had been ns yet no official
survey of the laud, and we squatted
a good deal by guess as to location.
Being beyond regularly constituted
authorities, nud without State courts
or laws of local application, we banded
together for mutual protection against
both Indian marauders and white in
truders.
We formed tho "Osage City Club,"
elected a "Club" sheriff and judge,
passed such laws as wo considered
needful for ordci and tho protection of
each member's rights, and pledged
ourselves to stand by these regulations
to tho death, if need be. As tho first
settlers, wo believed that we had the
best right to tho country, and looked
with disfavor on new comers.
One of our number was Jerry
Saunders—"Old Jerry" we called him
—a rough graybeard of fifty or more
yours, whose family consisted of him
self, wife, four sous and a daughter.
The youngest son, George, was nearly
seventeen, nnd as tho "Club" law al
lowed a father to hold a hundred and
sixty acres of land for each son over
sixteen years of age, besides the same
amount for himself, Old Jerry nnd his
boys were "holding down" five claims.
'i'ho boys, however, lived with their
father, and paid only occasional visits
to their claims, alter making sueli
trifling improvements as were required
by the "Club" laws.
Saunders's daughter, Polly, was a
beautiful and lovable girl nearly four
teen years old—a fearless horsewoman,
and v great favorite among the squat
ter;.. She was her brother's equal in
riding und managing the half-wild
ponies, which were so much in uso
with us at that time. She often rode
from one to another of our humble
homes, where she was always sure of
a hearty welcome.
Old Jerry almost worshiped this
girl. She was the solo boing in whoso
presence he would neither uso profane
language uor chew tobacco.
"My lectio gal don't think it's
nice," he would say. "Sho thinks
her old dad a henp uicer'n ho be, an'
somehow or 'uother I don't like the
idee of her a-fiudiii' out different."
Wo sometimes twitted tho old man
about his fear of Polly, but wo liked
him tho better for it.
One day a messenger was sent from
claim to claim, calling together tho
members of tho club to consider a
cise of infringed rights. All assembled
at the "city" store that night to hear
tho particulars.
Old deny was tho aggrieved party.
It appeared that a new-comer had
"jumped" the claim of hiH son George,
anil before they were awaro of his
presence, had built a cabin upon it
and domiciled his family. Old Jerry •
had ordered tho intruder to leave,
b.it the man had refused to go.
Our meeting immediately appointed
n committee of three to wait upon the
stranger, and iu the name of the Osage
City Club to order him to leave the
claim within three days.
I was chairman of the committee.
We found tho intruder hard at work
breaking prairie, while his little boy
was following the plow and dropping
corn iu the furrow. This was at that
time tho usual method of planting
sod-corn. If the grains were dropped
as close to tho edge of the furrow as
possible, tho next round of tho plow
would cover them with a little loose
dirt, without throwing tho heavy,
tough sod flat upon them.
The stranger was a tall, rawboned
nine, seemingly of more than ordinary
physical strength and force of
character. He stopped his horses
when ho saw us approaching, and
waited for us.
"Howdv, gentlemen?"* ho said,
looking at us inquiringly.
"We've como upon business," I
said, after returning his greeting,
aud the sooner wo get at it tho bet
ter. "
"Bight you are, I reckon, stranger."
ho replied. "J don't go none on
beatin' round tho bush. What's yer
business?"
Well, there snot much to say, and
it won't take long to say it. You've
jumped a man's claim here, and we've
come to warn you off of it. We rep
resent tho Osage City Club, and mean
what we say."
"Oh, that's what you've come for,
is it?" ho said, reflectively. "Well,
it's just this way with me. I don't
consider 'at I've jumped anybod's
claim at all. If I did, I'd leave 'ith
out any orderin' as soo's I found it
out. Hut I don't consider 'at this
claim was beiu' held down by any
body. I Reed a little jag o' hay 'at
sombody'd cut out yander—maybe a
quarter of a ton or so—an' ono furrer
acrost tho land over thar; but there
wa n't nobody a-livin here, an' I just
settled an' built my cabin.
at he was a-holdiu' this claim for ouo
of his boys, along 'ith one apiece for
his other'n's an' himself. Thinks I,
'that ain't no fair shake,' an' I told
him so.
"Says I, 'I wouldn't jump no man's
claim ; but where a man's already got
a good un, an' then not satisfied 'ith
that, wants a whole lot more, that's a
different thing.' Says I, VL've got a
better right to one claim for my fain
ily 'an you have to four or five for
yourn.' The old feller got consid'a
b!o hot, an' said 'he'ed show mo what's
what,' an' went off."
I looked at my two companions and
they looked at me. We all felt in our
hearts that tho stranger had the best
of tho argument; but we were sent for
a certain purpose, and deter
mined to carry it out.
"We cnu't stay and discuss the
rights and wrongs with you," I said.
"Wo are sent by the Club to warn you
to vacate these premises within three
days. Your opinion has nothing to do
with our business. My advice to you
is to obey tho orders of the Club."
"Gentlemen," lio replied, speaking
slowly und mildly, "I don't aim to
wrong nobody. If I didn't think I
had a right here, us I said afore,
'twould n't take no coaxiu' or warnin'
to git me off. But I've got my family
to look out for as well us any of you
uns, an' I propose to stay right here.
If I don't, it'll he 'acauso I can't help
myself. I'm willin' to pay tho old
man for what work him or his boys
done on this claim, an' pay'm moro'n
it's worth. But I will not give up this
claim till I have to. That's all I've
got to say."
He went on with his plowing, nnd
wc departed, much astonished at the
man's obstinacy, and yet not without a
feeling of respect lor his determina
tion not to bo bullied out of what ho
considered his rights. We still ex
pected, however, that after ho had
thought the matter over he would seo
the uselossuess of resisting so many
and decide to go.
But after the three days the stranger
was still there, apparently with no no
tion of changing his mind. Again
tho Club was summoned in extra ses
sion.
Some of the members were in favor
of taking immediate forcible posses
sion of tho claim, and "ousting,"alive
or dead, tho obstinate stranger, who
dared to defy tho edicts of tho Club.
Others, among whom were tho mem
bers of tho committee who had called
upon him, did not feel that he was
entirely in the wrong, and wished to
give him the semblance of justice at
least. Our view prevailed. It was
finally agreed that wo should try the
caso iu Club court on tho following
day.
Next morning tho sheriff rode over
to the disputed claim and summoned
the man Graham—as we had learned
his nam to he—to appear forthwith
before the Club judge for trial.
"Well, Mr. Sheriff," was his reply,
"I won't consent to uo scch a game.
'Acourso I know well enough 'at I
might just as well give it up now as
agree to stand a trial afore yer Club,
'acauso tho old feller 'at wants mo
ousted is one of ye, and ye're not a
goiu' back on him. I nint got nothin'
agin ye, Mr. Sheriff, nor any on ye,
but I don't calculate to bo bluffed out,
nor swindled out by no scch schome.
If ye g t me off'u thitere place, ye'll
have to do it by force, an' take yer
chances while jo'ru a-doin' it."
The trial was held, notwithstanding,
and of course resulted in a unanimous
verdict for tho plaintiff, George Saun
ders. Tho sentence of the court was
that Graham be put off tho claim on
the next day, by force or otherwise,
bag and baggage, and young Saun
ders placed iu possession. About
twenty of us assembled tho following
morning to carry out this sentence.
I am not sure that wo all went with
willing hearts. But we were pledged
to protect each others' "rights," and
stand by the Club court, and this we
were determined to do.
Old Jerry and his sons, of course,
weic of tho party. Headed by our
sheriff, we proceeded to Graham's
cabin. He saw us coming, aud was
prepared for us.
The sheriff and I rode on ahead of
the main party, to induce Graham, if
posssible, to give peaceable posses
sion. We dismounted a short distance
from tho caniu, I held both horses
while the sheriff walked to tho door.
Graham appeared, standing a little
hack from tho entrance, his right
hand under the left breast of his coat,
his left hand behind him. We readily
guessed what the position meant. He
was armed and ready to figiit to tho
death.
He was pale, but his voice hud not a
tremor in it, as ho said, "Stop right
thar! I know what ye'vo como for,
Mr. Sheriff, an' yo needn't tell me, or
argy tho case at all."
"Graham," began the sheriff, "come
now, you'd better—"
"No use to argy at all," repeated
Graham. "Now let me tell ye; I aint
got nothin' agin any on ye, us I've
told ye before. But this is my house ;
my goods are iu it; my family is in it,
an' I'm a-goin' to protect em as long's
I've got a linger 'at can pull a trigger.
There can't none on ye come in here
till I'm as dead as a mackerel. An' if
ye do til me, Mr. Sheriff, I've just got
one favor to ax: Act white with my
wife and children, an' don't lay nothin'
up agin 'em on my account."
Here the remainder of the party
rode up, and the sheriff walked over to
consult with the men. After a short con
versation the whole party dismounted,
and left two or three to hold the
horses while the rest pressed closer to
the cabin.
"Well," called out Old Jerry, "air
ye a-goin' to give up, or do ye hanker
after a necktie persuader?"
Graham had not shifted his position
an inch since he first appeared.
Slowly and distinctly came his reply:
" All I've got to say is what I've al
ready said to your sheriff. You've al
ready got four times as much land as
I have, an' there aint no civilized law
'at would let a boy not seventeen year
old hold a claim for his father, agin a
man 'at's got a family to support.
I'm hero to protect rny family an' my
goods, till I die, an' the first man 'at
tries to come in here, or makes a move
toward me, does it at his own risk. I
mean what I say, gentlemen."
This was a bold speech for one man
to make to twenty. But there ho stood
without flinching, and it was plain that
he meuut what lie said.
For a few moments we 6tood facing
him, scarcely knowing how to pro
ceed. No one of us cared to make tho
first advance, for whoever did would
iu all probability invite his own death.
As we hesitated, we wore astoundod
to see Graham suddenly withdraw his
hands, jump down from tho door
step and, with a horrified exclama
tion, rush past us like, as Old Jerry
afterward put it, "a streak of greased
lightnin'."
Turning to look alter him, wo saw
an alarming spectacle.
Old Jerry Saunders's half-wild
bronco, with Polly on his back, camo
furiously across tho prairie. Some
times tho bruto stopped suddenly,
shook its whole body as a dog docs af
ter coming out of water, and sprang
up and d\vu in buck leaps. Then it
came on again, galloping with lowered
head and many a quick swerve.
Tho reins ligd been jerked out of
Polly's hands at tho beginning of tho
bronco's run ; his forefeet, iu spring
ing, had caught them, one check strap
had given way and the curb-bit had
fallen from his teeth. Polly, grasping
the short mane near,the shoulder, kept
her seat, but jerked to and fro with
the savage creature's plunges, seemed
ovory moment likely to bo thrown.
Her horse fairly shrieked with malice,
and would, wo feared, trumple hor
should he get her down.
But this was not the danger that had
most alarmed Graham for tho girl.
Tho bronco's course, when he ran, was
toward a dense growth of scrub a
quarter of a mile distant. Should he
reach this, Polly would bo knocked off
or badly mangled among tho low
trees.
Graham, entirely disregarding our
armed company, ran past at right an
gles to tho pony's line. It looked as
if ho might as well attempt to stop a
oyolone as tlio bronco. But ho sped
on as if without a thought of danger
to himself. Wo followed at a much
slower rate of speed.
Perhaps seeing his course likely to
bo intercepted, tho broueo ceased all
antics and made straight lor the scrub.
But he had miscalculated Graham's
swiftness. With a spurt tho squatter
was at tho pony's shoulder, and next
moment was hanging around its neck
with both arms.
Then began a terrible struggle. Tho
bronco struck Graham with its fore
feet, but he, nevertheless, contrived
to fling them up to its shoulders. Tho
brute toro his shirt away from his
back, and left u stream of "blood from
its teeth.
But its speed had slackeded, and
Polly was able to spring off'. At that
moment Graham almost flung tho
pony. Then ho dropped, and the wild
brute rushed away.
Old Jerry Saunders cried like a baby
as Polly, trembling from tho long
strain on her nerves, ran into his
arms, flung hers around his neck and
broke into tears with tho reaction
from excitement. Graham still lay
where ho had fallen, unable to rise,
but fully conscious and cool in mind.
"Well, gentlemen," ho said iu a
voice that betokened his effort to ex
press no weakness or pain, "I reckon
yo'vo got tho drop ou me. I uiut iu
no shape for fightiu'."
"Graham," cried Old Jerry, rush
ing up and taking his hand, "don't
talk about fightiu.' Ye ain't got none
of it to do. Say, I wish yo'd forgive
mo for the trouble I've made ye.
Ye'ro tho spunkiest man over I seen.
The place is yourn, an' so's tho best
team l'v got to ray name, an' all tho
work me an' George can do to help
you with yer crops this year."
"Well, I uin't needin' help with
work. I can hoe my row, I reckon.
But it's neighborly of ye—thank ye
all tho same," said Graham. "Ye sec
I was bound to hung on to my
rights."
"That's all right—the olaim's
yourn," said Jerry.
We carried tho wounded man to his
cabin as tenderly as we could. One
o' his legs was shockingly bruised and
a groat chunk almost torn out of tho
flesh behind his left shoulder.
Wo all joined iu to pay the doctor's
lull and provide for "the wuuts of his
family until ho was able to work
agaiu.
Old Jerry was as good as his word.
Ho and George finished breaking out
the land and planting tho seed.
Then whon Graham could get about
tho old fellow led over his finest
team of horses, and insisted upon giv
ing them to him as a small token of
bis gratitude for having saved his
darling.
Graham, finding ho could scnrcely
retain Jerry's friendship without nc
oopting tho horses, took them into
use. Some years nfterward, when his
energy had made him prosperous, ho
insisted on giving George, Jerry's
youngest son, a thoroughbred bull
and two high-priced cows.—Y'outh's
Companion.
Cents Are Legal Tender.
There is one story so utterly
ridiculous that it seems incrediblo
that it should over have been printed,
which in one form or another makes
the rounds of various newspapers of
the conntry annually. Look for it
anu you will sooner or later see it
crop up again.
This tale is always based upon the
unpopularity of thu one-cent pieces in
the extreme West and Southwost. In
its most common form it tolls of soino
Eastern traveler who attompts to dis
pose of a hundred or so one-eent
pieces in San Fruuciseo, El I'aso or
some other place. Tho tradesman is
always represented as looking at them
curiously and deeliuiug them.
The writers of these senseless tales
may liavo been in tho West or they
may not. It mutters little—their
story is pointless. They seek to
brand the mythical tradesman as of
tho same category with themselves.
Tho cent is a legal tonder in
amounts of twenty-five and less. If an
Eastern man in San Francisco or any
where else owes a debt of twenty-five
cents and tenders twenty-five cent
pieces in settlement, tho courts will
sustain him.
Of course, the coins are not popular
in tho extremo West and Bouth, but
no one need carry a huudrod of them
in a cigar box or anywhere else as
useless metal. If you aro iu a city
that has not a United States Treasury,
go to tho I'ostoffico,dump iu twenty-five
cents and see if you will have any
difficulty iu obtaining stamps or postal
cards ofliko amount. If ouo is re
fused a letter of complaint to tho
postal authorities will soon work the
removal of an employe who would dis
credit United States money.
It is well to bear this matter of tho
legal tender of a cent iu mind. No
ouo for spite can make a person tako
moro than twenty five of thorn iu any
single transaction involving tho set
tlement of a debt. One need have no
fear, then, of receiving SIOO in cents
from somo embittered debtor.—Now

PUKE
Origin of the Clydesdales.
The Clydesdale-, perhaps the horses
I most highly esteemed by farmers,
especially in the hilly countries, are
bred In districts bordering on the
Clyde, and owe their origin to one ol
the liukes of Hamilton, who crossed
some of his l est Lanark mares with
stallions he imported from Flanders.
Tliis breed is conspicuous for its high
courage, activity, and endurance.
Several years ago the late Gen. Peel
told me how successful he had been
In mating liis thoroughbred Toxophi
lito with Clydesdale mares.
"When you use," said lie, "a thor
oughbred for draught ruares, always
use the biggest and best you have,
and you will be sure to produce
draught hor.-.cs second to none.
Horses good as Stockwell are not ton
good for my Clydesdales. What I
have bred will go on their knees to
move the heaviest loads. They won't
oc beaten."
This fact proves liow beneficially a
food cross of fresh blood operates,
md particularly so when the new
tlood is obtained from the thorough

this breed, but from the very best—
Irom "horses as good as Strickwell."
The Clydesdale differs from tho Shire
aorse in that it has a long, low back,
thort, Hat ribs, good, hard legs, and
iong pasterns, which would seem to
nave been derived from a cross with
a half-bred or thoroughbred horse.
This certainly is not a desirables con
formation, and our Scottish brothers
have for several years past inoculated
this breed by the introduction of the
best Shire blood, both male and fe
male, which has resulted in the pro
duction of animals with shorter and
stronger pasterns. This breed is
much In request In this country, and
the best specimens are readily sold to
Americans at high ligurts.—Tho
