AN EJECTOR WITH HALF THE PARTS 
TWICE THE STRENGTH 
ALL THE CERTAINTY 

Necessary parts in the Ansley H. Fox automatic ejector gun are so simpli- 
fied and reduced in number that it stands a revelation in modern gun construc- 
tion—a direct, postive acting and practically unbreakable mechanism. 
Made stronger in every way without disturbing beauty of model, the Fox Gun is easily 
first in perfection of balance and reliability and certainty of operation. It provesits claim as 
“The Finest Gun in the World”

twenty men, with all their women and childret| 
left Fort Reno, fought their way through on} 
line of troops and evaded and outran two othe 
lines. They traveled 300 miles in ten days, bt 
so expert was their chief that they left scarcel 
a mark to show where they went over th 
prairie. They marched in open order, coverin 
a belt from three to eight miles wide, and le! 
a trail so light on the hard prairie that th 
most expert trailers among the troops wer 
unable to trace them. 
The fourth line of troops turned the Indian 
after a battle in which Col. Lewis was killec 
and then Wild Hog turned toward the settle 
part of Kansas to get fresh mounts. After thi 
raid the band fled to the sandhills, where i 
-secreted itself near water holes known to th 
Indians alone. Among the trailers at the for 
was a Pawnee Indian. He was put to work t 
solve the problem. He followed steadily afte 
the fleeing band, where the trail was lost hi 
utilized his knowledge of landmarks, never hesi 
tating for a minute, and ran the band to its hid}: 
ing place after every other scout and trailer hac 
given the task up as being one impossible o 
completion, 
The most remarkable bit of individual trail 
ing was that which preceded the finding of ; 
little girl in the Gunnison Valley in Colorado 
A little girl 4 years old wandered away fron| 
a cabin on Tumiche Creek and was not missec| 
for several hours. Apparently no trace of hel 
was left, and the distracted father rode to the| 
nearest settlement for help. Hundreds of white| 
men of the valley turned out and searched al| 
day without finding a sign af the little one| 
Finally it was suggested that Ute trailers at <| 
camp some twenty miles away be sent for anc| 
this was done. The Indians got on the grounc| 
twenty-four hours after the child was missed| 
and then the whole country had been so trampec| 
over by the white searchers that all hope oj 
finding a trail was seemingly lost. 
Three Indians, stimulated by hope of a big| 
reward which was offered, went to work, and 
before night they found: the child, unhurt but| 
almost dead from fright and exposure. They) 
did their work in a most systematic manner,| 
covered the ground thoroughly, and soon found) 
the direction taken. Then began an ideal bit 
of trailing. Foot by foot they went over the) 
ground, noting a broken twig here, an over- 
turned stone there or a small impression on the 
damp earth. Sometimes they would go for a 
mile without finding a single thing to indicate 
that the child had passed that way and then they 
would find the impression of a little bare foot! 
in a patch of wet earth. | 
The child was found eight miles from home, 
and hid so closely when the Indians approached| 
her that they passed her and were almost at! 
fault. They had to double back several times 
before they espied her hidden under a fallen} 
tree. I was reminded of the work of an old 
and conscientious pointer when he is following 
the trail of a scattered covey of quail by the| 
manner in which these Utes followed the child! 
through eight miles of trackless mountain| 
covered with underbrush. 
The old story of the man who described a lost| 
camel so accurately that he came near being | 
jailed for having stolen it finds its parallel in the! 
Apache country, where an Indian boy so accu- | 
rately described a horse and rider that the sol-| 
diers who were after the deserter took the boy 
into custody for having murdered the man and_| 
secreted the horse. But for the fact that the 
boy offered to guide them to the real thief he 
would have been shot. The horse had been 
stolen by a deserter. who was trying to make his 
way out of the country. A squad of cavalry 
was sent after him, but had missed his trail, | 
and meeting an Apache boy they asked him if| 
he had seen a man on a horse go by that way. | 
He asked if it was a sorrel horse, lame in the! 
right hind leg and ridden by a tall man who 
belonged to the army. On being answered in 
the affirmative he said he had not seen the man| 
or the horse. 
This made the sergeant in command angry and 
he ordered the arrest of the boy for killing the 





























































man and stealing the horse. The boy protested 
his innocence and told how he knew the horse
