long and happy.

prospector and Indian fighter, stop-
ped between trips to visit one of
hts two sons who lives In Marlon.
Buffalo Bill was s great man.
Only Abraham Unco I has exceeded
him as being America's greatest
citizen." McCullough said.
McCullough remembered a murder
trial at Atlaneta. HI., In which Lin-
coln had been retained to defend a
young man charged with the crime.
"Lincoln was cross-examining a
state's witness who testified he had
seen the murder committeed.
"You say you saw the murder at
II o'clock on the night of June 107"
Uncoin asked the witness.
"Yes,” he replied.
"And you couldn't possibly be mis-
taken about it?”
•' No."
"Then Uncoin pulled from an In-
side pocket an old, worn almanac It
fell open to a page which showed
there was no moon on the night of
June 10.
"1 leave it to you. gentlemen of
the Jury, whether any living man
could have seen a murder on a night
tike this,” Lincoln said.
"The case again*, the boy was dis-
missed and tlie plaintiff later was
charged with the offense."
McCullough Joined the Union
forces at the outbreak of the Civil
war and served four years and eight
months. He was wounded once.
The old warrior still likes to shoot
—but now It's big game rather than
Indians aa It was during the 10 years
he served as first lieutenant under
Buffalo Bill.
“I saw Custer massacred: and ar-
rived with 130 soldiers at Dead wood.
Wya. the morning Wild BUI Hickok
was klUed. There were only 130 of
us to clean up hundreds of Indians
"The Indians were riding in cir-
cle* about our camp One was tied
to the belly of a pretty little spotted
pony. When I stopped to look at
him. I was shot in the chest with an
arrow. I Just pulled It out and went
on fighting."
After Indian fighting had "work-
ed out." McCullough bought a 2.000
acre ranch In Colorado whh a *m.uuC
