SALE OF “RATTLER”
TO
Circumstances Surrounding
the Purchase Are

he can do as Rood work on one ran as
any of the horses owned hy the depart
ment.
Since the old horse was purchased two
members of the committee have passed
away, while “Rutler” is good for sev
eral years to come.
The proposition to sell old “Rattler,”
one of the horses that has been used by
the fire department for a number of
years, brought op some reminiscences
in the mind of Mr. W. F. Dorsey that
were freighted with a certain amount of
sadness.
Mr. Dorsey was a member of the coun
cil at the time the paid Are department
was established in this city, and in fact
may be called the originator of the
movement that end.d in its establish
ment. He made his race for the oonnoil
upon the issue of establishing a paid fire
department and was among Its leading
advocates in that body at that time.
When it came to buying the horses
for the nowly-established fire depart
ment a committee was appointed to
eeleot them. This committee consisted
of Capt. 0.(0. Talmadge, Oapt. W. A.
MoDowell and Mr. W. F. Dorsey. They
fonnd no tronble In agreeing as to all
the hones except old "Rattler.” Messrs.
Dorsey and MoDowell were vigorously
opposed to the purchase of that bone.
He was string-haltered and they did not
think he would be of mnoh service.
Oapt. Talmadge, however, svas of the
opinion that "Rattler" wts the best
hone in the bunch, and told the other
two gentlemen on the committee that if
they would purchase “Rattler” he wonld
take him off the bands of the city at the
purchase price if it tuned ont that the
animal was not what the city desired.
Old “Rattler” was hongbt, and it did
not take long for all to see that Oapt.
Talmadge was right. He was the beet
hone In the lot. Thirteen yean have
passed sinoe that time and a number of

HEREWEDNESDAY
Interesting Pen Sketch of
This Most Remark
able Man.
The teachers and scholars of the Bald
win street Sunday school enjoyed a most
delightful picnlo at the Athens nark yes
terday.
Rev. E. D. Stone, superintendent of
the school, was in oharge of the picoio
and everything went off in a most pleas
ant manner. This Sunday school is one
of the most active and prosperous in the
oity and is doing a great deal of good
among the little folks of the section tf
the oity in which it is located.
A Little Early Riser

DeWitt’s Little Early Risen ate the fa-
moos little pills that core by arousing

yet effectually, and giving such tone and
strength to the glands of
Oapt Jack Crawford, who appears at
the Optra house in this city Wednesday
night fo charmingly entertain all who
are there at that time, is a remarkable
man as will appear from a perusal of the
following sketch of his life:
Great men are always objects of more
or less curiosity. They differentiate
themselves from the great mass of hu
mauity and excite our interest and
a Imitation.
One of the most unique characters in
the United States is the subject of this
sketch. Oapt. Crawford was born in
Ireland, of Scotch parents, in 1848, and
is therefore 55 years olJ.
When little Jack was only fire years
old, his father came to the United States
and settled in the mining region of west
ern Pennsylvania. Owing to his father's
intemperate habits, the boy was com
pelled to spend his yenth in the coal
mines instead of the school room. His
early life was one of great bitterness
and poverty. At the age of fifteen he
could neither read nor write; yet he
composed poetry of ecch merit as to
challenge the admiration ot his hearers
and reflect bis future greatness.
On May 10, 1864, young Orawford,
then 16 years old, was woonded in the
battle of Spotisylvanla and carried from
the battlefield. For days his uncertain
fate seemed to vibrate between life and
death. HU recovery was slow, and it
was daring this period that a good sister
ot charity tanght him huletten, and he
soon learned to read'and write.
At the age of IS, Mr. Orawford went
Wyomiug and all through the cattle
country in the west during the wildest
period.
From 1879 to 1885 he was ohief gov
ernment BCODt during all the Indian
campaigns.
"Jack” Crawford and "Buffalo Bill”
were friends and companions. He en
gaged in tattle with 2,000 of Sitting
Ball's warriors jnst after the Custer
Massacre on the Little Big Horn.
Doting all these years of wild active
life Capt. Crawford was a great reader,
and inspired by the picturesque scene-
.y of the west his ready pen traced many
beantiful poems. He is known sb the
"Bobby Barns of the West.” He is es
sentially a child of Nature, a born poet,
with the force of Byron and the gentle
ness of Whittier.
Imagine a camp fire; a circle of story
t tilers—one young man the life and soul
of the party—there yon have Cant Jack
Crawford There is about him the fla
vor of the free west—tte smell of the
prairie blooms—the song of the pines.
A man with the heart of a woman and
the s' ul of a warrior. On the trail or
in the parlor, men of his stamp are too
rapidly passing away, and when Jack
Crawford answers roll-call beyond the
river, he will have no legitimate succes
sor.
For more than two years Oapt Oraw
ford has been on the platform visiting
the larger cities of the north and west.
He has visited both London and Paris
and was received with distinguished
honors as a soldier, entertainer and au
thor. "The Camp Fire and the Trail"
i« perhaps the best one man entaln-
ment ever given on the American plat
form. Honor, success, and a long life
to yon, Capt. Jack Crawford.
