FIFTY FAMOUS
FRONTIERSMEN
By ELMO SCOTT WATSON
Leader of the Lost Trappers
/^NK of the most romantic stories
v/ of the Old West Is that of Capt
Ezekiel Williams and his “Lost Trap-
pers.” The story had its beginnings In
the Lewis and Clark expedition when
those two famous explorers, upon their
return to St. Louis, brought with them
it Mandan Indian chief, named Big
White. The chief was royally enter-
tained in St. Louis but in a short time
he* asked to be sent home.
An escort of 20 men was enlisted for
this duty and they were placed in com-
mand of Onpt. Ezekiel Williams. On
April 2o, IbOT, they set uul frum St.
Louis and proceeded up the Missouri
until Big White was once more among
the Mandnns. This duty done they
could have returned to St. Louis. But
Williams and his men had another idea
ami that was to “explore the country
on the waters of the Missouri, to trap
for beaver and even to penetrate and
cross the ltocky mountains.”
So on up into the Yellowstone coun-
try they went. There they were set
upon by hostile Bkn kfret and lost five
of their number. Retreating south-
ward, they fell in with the (’rows, who
killed live more of their number and
took all of their horses.
The pari.v, now reduced to ten men,
hastened on font toward the headwa-
ters of l!i" Smith Flatte where they
hoped to find a better pass through
the mountains than Lewis and Clark
had found. That winter and the next
spring the remnant of the expedition
Spent near the source* of the Arkan-
sas river and Imre they fell in with
hostile < om,'inches who picked off their
(men, one by one, until at last only
three of the original 20 were left.
These three were Captain Williams,
James Workman and Samuel Spencer.
By this time they had no id an of
which direction to take1 to reach a set-
tlement. Captain Williams was sure
they were on the Red river but the oth-
er two were equally certain that they
were not far from Santa Fe. So they
decided to separate. Williams contin-
ued down the river and eventually
reached Fort Cooper on the Missouri.
Workman and Spencer headed to-
ward the Wind river mountains and
In a short time were hopelessly lost
In the wilderness. After many weeks
of wandering they finally struck the
Colorado river and fell in with a Mex-
ican caravan which took them to Up-
per California. The following spring
they went to Santa Fe, where they re-
mained as traders for the next 15
years. History has forgotten them now
but they should be remembered—as
the first Americans to flout upon the

At the present time it is impossi-

one that is not being used and
would loan it to the school it
would make the assemblies much

Get Rid of
Malaria!
Banish Chills*and Feverf
To conquer Malaria, you must do two
things. (1) Destroy the infection in the
blood. (2) Build up the blood to over-
come the effects and to fortify against
further attack. There is one medicine that
docs these two things and that is Grove’s
Tasteless Chill Tonic! The tasteless qui-
nine in Grove’s Tasteless Chill Tonic de-
stroys the malarial infection in the blood
while the iron builds up the blood. Thou-
sands of people have conquered Malaria
with the aid cf Grove’s Tasteless Chill
’i onic. In addition to being a noted rem-
edy for Malaria, it is also an excellent
tonic of general use. Grove’s Tasteless
Chill Tonic is pleasant to take and con-
tains nothing harmful. Even children like
it and they can take it safely. For sale
by all drug stores. Now two sizes—S0c
and :1. The 1 size contains times as
much as the 50c size and gives you 25%
more for your money.
Fort Worth Dec. 10.—Life be-
gin* at 70, not 40. That is the
belief of Dr. Clinton Lockhart,
professor' of Old Testament and
Semitic* at Texas Christian Uni-
versity, and former president of
the institution.
“One has a broader, richer ap-
preciation of life after 70, provid-
ed his health is good,” says Dr.
Lockhart.
At 77 the lean and active edu-
cator is studying German at night
school and reading the Bible in
Spanish. When 74 he received
the honorary degree of Doctor of
Letters from T. O .11.. The pro-
fessor reads ten languages and
plays the piano, violin and guitar,
lie took up the study ot the vio-
lin on his 70th birthday.
“Advancing years and the ex-
perience which they bring with
them give one the key to many en-
joyments of life not open to the
younger man or woman,” Dr.
Lockhart says.
“’rite years take you from some
of your favorite athletics and
your lost interest in romance, but
you find ample compensation in
t lie full, new understanding you
have of life.”
Dr. Lockhart holds the A. B.,
A. M. and LL. D. degree from
Yale.
