One case occured iu the vicinity oi
old Fori:*. Boise. Indians had done
great injury to a man named Jame**,]
Beckwith. They gloated over what?
they bad done. "They were large(inj
in number, the whitfes were sniall,<and
for business and other reasons it \vas
deemed impolitic to ' wage open warfare. The situation,*however, was such
that it was deemed best to curtail the
power of the Indians, as they were .insolent and threatening, as the Northwest Indians now are. J
Beckwith went down the" Missouri
River to a place where small-pojc^ex-
isted. He obtained small-pox.yirus in
a form that could be'eHsily transported.
One story was that he carried the
poison in an air-tight, canister-like arrangement. When he reached his
destination he infected some clothing,
which was immediately p,ut,in possession of the Indians, so that the poisonous germs of the small-pox, which are
short-lived, would not lose their efficacy. The result was that? the epidemic
broke out and increased to a pestilence.
In more than SO per cent of the cases
the disease assumed the confluent and
the hemorrhagic forms and the fatality-
was not far froin 100 per cent. "
In their delirium scores rau into the
river and death was thus accelerated
iu its approach. The white men shut
thuniselves up in what was called the
old fort, a large abandoned structure,
a large part of which was made of
frame. Here the Indians, pestilence
striek«u. Hocked. They humbly came
to the white men whom they had so recently abused and exulted over in their
brutal, savage way.
After the abandoued old fort had
been converted from a lazar house to a
charnel house by the action of disease
tho means of egress were barred, and
in order to stamp out the contagion
fire was applied. Scores of dead bodies
were consumed. The contagion was
thus stamped out, the power of the Indians was broken, without the loss of a
single white man, and the insults
avenged. This occurred between forty
and fifty years ago.
On auother occasion a young German, who was employed in a menial
capacity in a private fort of A. M. Harvey, iu ignorance or otherwise disregarded instructions given him and, on
a certain occasion when there was
danger, strayed faoui the fort about a
quarter of a mile. He Was killed by
Indians and cut into small pieces.
The mutilated remains were then left
as a warning to the whites of the Indians' prowess. Just as in the smallpox case the whites did not appear to
notice the indignity, the also as in the
small-pox case Indians and regarded
this as an indication of cowardice.
The Indians, however, kept away for a
short time after the murder to see what
would be done. Then they came around
to trade. This fort had an alley-like
entrance guarded by door or gate-like
arrangements at each extremity. The
sides were walled or boarded high. The
white men managed to get the alley ,
full of Indians. ,
They had previously allowedludians
in here after the murder in order to
disarm suspicion. The whites opened
the outside barriers, but placed behind,
a thin inside barrier a masked canuon. ■
This was heavily loaded with iron
slugs, parts of blacksruithshop refuse
and material of.thattuature. Without
warning this was discharged Into the
packecfinass of savages. A moment
later the narrow way was tilled with
dead and mangled Indians. The outer
way was shut and others were killed.
Eor a long time after this the Indians
were well behaved.
Frontiersmen say that if Eastern
sentimentality did not prevail to the
extent oi interference with the army:
movements and with the action of men
who thoroughly understand the Indian
character and who can meet and beat
the Indian at every turn, tiie Indian
problem would soo'n be solved, and to
this problem there is but one solution,

Wonders
Are wrought by the use of Ayer's Hair
Vigor in restoring gray hair to its original
color, promoting a new growth, prevent-
Sig the hair from falling, keeping it soft,
silky, and abundant, and the scalp cool,
healthy, and free from dandruff or humors.
The universal testimony is lhat this preparation has no equal as a dressing and
is, therefore, indispensable to every well-
i uriiished toilet.
"I have used Ayer's Hair Vigor toi'sumc
time and it has worked wonders for me. 1
was troubled with dandruff and was rapidly
becoming bald; hut since using the Vigor my
head is perfectly clear of dandruff, the hair
has ceased coming out, and 1 now have a
good growth, of the same eolol* as when 1
was a young woman. I can heartily recommend any one suffering from dandruff nr
loss ot hair to use Ayer's Hair Vigor as a
dressing."—Mrs. iydia O. Moody, liast
Pittston, Me.
"Some time ago niy wife's hair began to
come out quite freely.
Ayer's
Hair Vigor
not only prevented my wife from becoming
bald, .but it also caused an entirely new
growth of hair. I am ready to certify to Ihis
statement before a justice of the peace."—
H. Hulsebus, Lewisbiirgh. Iowa.
"Some years ago, after a severe attnek ol
brain fever, my hair all came out. I used
such preparations lor restoring it as my physicians ordered, hut failed to produce a
growth of hair. I then tried, successively,
several articles recommended' by druggists,
and all alike fell short of accomplishing; the
desired result. The last remedy 1 applied
was Ayer's Hair Vigor, which brought .1
growth of hair in a few weeks. I think I
used eight bottles in two years; more than
was necessary as a restorative, but I liked it
as a dressing, and have continued to use it
for that purpose. I believe Ayer's Hair
Vigor possesses virtues far above those of
any similar preparation now on the market."
