Spotted a Horse Thief With the Help of His Sharp Eyes. \Whie Eagle correspondence Kansas City Times. "This is a Ponca Indian Sherlock Holmes story." said an oldtimer. puff ing a freshly rolled cigarette. "I lived at the Ponca agencies in the eighties when few persons except government in-pector. and cowboys ever came. Occasionally a stranger stopped on his way through to buy, 'chuck' at the trader's store. The Poncas wore blankets in those days. and were much better Indians than now. It was high noon one spring day. and the agency was as quiet as a graveyard. Four Indian policemen sat drowsing on a bench. the usual loafing place. against the agency btiilding,. Summer was in the air and the praries and timber in the river bottom looked fresh and green. In the agency office hung the six-shoot ers and ammunition belts of the four policemen, and nearby was a stock of rifles, ready for quick use. Desper adoes were in the country. scouting between Kansas and Indian Territory, and the agency employes were always on the alert. The Ponca pony herds often were raided. and the policemen kept close watch for the horse thieves. "The four policemen on the bench were disturbed by the sound of a horse's feet. The horse, a fine one., was ridden by a stranger who dis motnted at a trader's store and dis appeared inside. The first policeman rubbed his eyes a moment, said 'ugh,' and the second, third and fourth did likewise. One after the other they went quickly into the agency office and came back with their belts and pistols. -Thev made a dash for the trader's store, but the stranger saw them com ing and ran out of the bick door to ward the timber on Salt Fork. The four policemen began firing in vol leys. The stranger shot as he ran, and escaped into the heavy growth of trees without a scratch. The four policemen were in fighting trim. and kept up the chase. "The noise of the firing awoke the sleepy agency like a cannonade. Men and women ran out doors to learn the cause of the- uproar. Little clouds of smoke that hung in the air, and occa sional shot in the timber showed that the fight was still on, but no one could tell why or how it began. "The stranger ran to the river, sprang into a skiff and was on his way down stream when the four police men drew up opposite and command ed him to come to shore and surrend er or be killed. The stranger refused and bullets begai. striking the water near the skiff. He changed his mind quickly and gave up. "He was marched before the agent, who asked the four policemen: " What's the matter: who is this man. " Him horse thief.' "'Do von know him?' " ,.we never see him.' vtDoyo know' his horse?' 'N'): never see him horse before.' "'Well. how~ in thunder do you know this man is a horse thief?' de manded the agent. who was growing angry at the idea that the policemen had suddenly jumped up. half asleep, and began shooting to kill at a pos sible inoffensive stranger. "The chief of the four policemen :urv'ed a hand around each eye and said: 'White man ride with 'blinders' or bridle.' Andl that was his only ex plan at ion. His evidence, however, was strong nough to convict in that part of the ountry. The Indian knew that any' tranger riding on horse back so far romr civilization would have a regu ation outnlt for his horse. and that a tranger with a g' od horse and a ridle with blinds in all probabil t was a thief who had stolen bo0th from sorme mnan's stable.
