her husband. In his drunken brooding 
over his plight Marshall blamed Nigo 
for his bad fortune and one day sent 
word that he would come to kill Nigo 
the next morning at sunrise. 
pose anyone of the white race would 
have waited wide eyed for the com- 
ing of the sun, and Marshall. But 
Nigo? I think I see him swabbing 
clean the bore of his rifle and looking 
carefully into its loading, and then 
calmly sleeping the night through un- 
der the deer skin blankets. At least 
he seems to have been ready, for when 
the appointed time he was hailed by a 
voice from the woods, he took up the 
rifle and opened the door. The story 
goes that Marshall fired and missed. 
Nigo fired, and Marshall fell dead. 
The rude battered old rifle was built 
for rough work. It is hanging near 
me now, here at peaceful Bonneville. I 
call it ‘Chief Nigo’ of course.” 
Mr. Tyrrell began making his col- 
lection when he was a boy. There was 
one little rifle which belonged to a man 
in the neighborhood which the boy’s 
heart craved. It was poorly made, but 
to the boy it was ideal. He paid the 
neighbor fifty cents as surety until he 
could accumulate two dollars more and 
claim the gun as his own. After rigor- 
ous saving, he proudly bore it home. 
Immediately it became the family joke, 
for although he cleaned it carefully it 
would not shoot straight, and the dis- 
appointed boy hid the gun under the 
house to avoid further family merri- 
ment. 
Ten years afterward when the old 
rifle had been forgotten, his father 
found it in two pieces, rusty and cov- 
ered with an accumulation of earth. He 
presented it triumphantly at the din- 
ner to tease the son. Again it was 
laid away and forgotten. But eight 
years ago, when on a visit at the old 
Indiana home, Mr. Tyrrell claimed the 
gun again. Since his first purchase he 
had collected many guns, but he had 
never tried to make one. The old gun 
which had so many years before caught 
his boyhood fancy inspired him to make 
something from it, and he completely 
reconstructed it himself into a rifle that 
would have been a delight to the boy 
of long ago. It now holds a respected 
place with his other guns, for it has 
become a good one. Mr. Tyrrell has 
named it the “Scamp”. because he knew 
that was what his parents thought of 
him when he came home with the little 
gun years ago. 
Mr. Tyrrell admits having a particu- 
lar fondness for the old Kentucky rifles 
which he says are the typical Ameri- 
can rifles of the early days. They are 
each bits of romance, for no two are 
alike, but are hand-made after the in- 
dividual whim of the gunsmith, at 
which he spent his skill after the neces- 
sity of those early days.
