TUE MOST EXPERT MARKSMAN OF
11I 1 1'.
Or'gin of the Coon Story--A Dosporato
Dul- -Meettng His L'.nd in M3xico.
(l",-oni fte 1'ltirAlp'~-a Tim;.. ]
One N ber most widely known
men of >+. time-his nuno boing
embalnjqc the heart of an im1
perisball anecdoto--is Captain
lartilnr4ott. And yet but little is
known of his life. He is the hero of
the "coon story." The tradition
runs that this story first appeared
in a country paper of New York
State in about 181G. It was in sub
stance as follows: Captain Scott
and a party of friends were out
hunting. They were scattered
through the woods, each hunting
separately. One of the party at
length came upon a raccoon that was
sitting in one of the hi:;hest branches
of a very till tree. Hl firei at him
and misped. One by one the rest
of the party came up alnl fire:.1, each
one missing the too remote coon. At
length Captain Scott arrive], and
was in the act of pulling trigger
when the coon looked around the
limb and said : "Who are you ?"
"1'm Scott." "What Scott ?" "Why
Captain Scott." "Are you Ctpt:tin
Martin Scott?" "The s-me." "Well,
then," Said the cCn, unlitmbering
hiuself, "you needn't shoot ; I'll
come down."
Martin Scott was from his earliest
dlays a remarkably fine pistol
an:l rilo i >t. Wh1ilo phloing
in the field on1e day he receivud a
letter, which inclosula imitll his C0111
mission as onsi.: in t'IL Un:te:1
States A: my. Ho h:.d noevat ap
plied for this position, mid to tU
dLy of his de thi never knew how it
came to be tendered to hiin. IIe
accepted it, however, and w.1s soon
famous throughout th. whole army
as the best shot of his (ty. Upon
the authority of Colonel R. B. Mar
'y, U. S. A., to whose admirable
information I am greatly indehtc l,
1 will give a s.innple of his sh,otin;g.
A p1 tying-card, with a :pot :;bjut
the size of a dime. was tacked upon
a tree seventy-five yrds dist:nt.
Captain Scott then took a muzlz.e
loading sq'lirrel rifle and proposedl
to see how quickly ha c.>:11d loa:l
and fire three timos. He began, and
in one minute and twenty
seconds had loaded andtfired
three times. Of course this was
very quick work, allowing hardly
any time for aiming. The firing
was almost instanttneous. When
Colonel Marcy went to examine
the target he foun. one hole ex.t!y
in the centre of the bull's eye. He
remaiked, however, th:at the other
two shots had missed the t:arget
entirely. Captain Scott smiled,
called for an axe, split the log and
found the three balls inbedded in
the single hole. These shots wvere
all off-hand. Col<mel Marcy says
that lhe hias seen ofilers who v'ouched
for the truth of the followving, hav.
ing seen Captain Scott do it. He
would take two potatoes, and throw
ing themi into the air successively
would put a pistol-ball through~
both of them as they ".-ossed in the
air, one going up and one coming
down.
A DUEL WITH A DEAD SHOT.
The first duel in which Cap
tain Scott was engaged was
under the following circumstances.
He was stationed on the frontier, at
a military post of Council B3luff.
The officers were, the most of them,
fond of a social glass and addicted
to card-playing, and they considered
a man whIo abstained entirely from
like indulgences as wanting in the'
proper spirit. Captain Scott never
drank a glass of liquor and never
pla.yed a game of cards, and while'
he was ver y liberal in his intercourt e
With his brother officers was exceed
ingly parsimonious in his own per-- j
sarnal expenses. The officers around
him took umbrago at this, and gr'ad
ually withdrew from all ntercourse
with him, itntil he was abso
lutely put into coventry by all saveL
three of his associates in-arms. H e
submitted for a long time to 'the1
(npults and persecutions, and then
held a council gf war with his three
friends to determiad as to what W4s
best 'to be dosne, They inforned
bithsa only two' altei-nativst'
tion became known throughout the
post. His skill as a marksman and
his UndOlibted nerve protected him
for a good while, no one caring to
needlesssly risk an encounter with
him. At longth, however, an officer
from a neighboring post, who was a
celebrated shot and had brought
down his man in some half,dozen
duels. was sent for. He cane over
ani on his arrival took the first op
portunity to insult Captain Scott.
The insult was given at mess--table,
and a challenge ilmnnediately follow
ed. In tolling of the duel afterward,
Captain Scott said he went to the
ground considerably agitated. Being
utterly opposed to dueling he had
determined to throw away his fire.
Just about that time lie accidentally
overheard his antagonist say that he
had a very disagreeable job on hand
that moruing, viz.: the "shooting
of a d-d Yankee." This raised
Captain Scott's indignation, and he
determiiod from that moment to
punish his opponent. When the
word was given the men fired to..
gether. Captain Scott received a
slight flesh wound and sent a ball
whizzing through his opponent's
lungs. It is mentioned as a curious
faet that this shot saved the man's
life. lie had the consumption be
foro the duel, and recovered after
ward-it being said that the wound
he received stopped the course of
the diseaso. I hesitate, however, to
recommend this as an inevitable
cure fur the consumption. It is a
remed', however, that is apt to
either cure or kill.
ALMOST LAUGHED INTO A DUEL.
Captain Scott came very near
havi!ig another duel on the most
ridiculons grounds. He was a great
1)ortainan, and a perfect stickler
for all the technicalities of sporting
lore. Ho would get into a passion
at hearing; any one call a line of
goese ".a flock" of geese, or a bevy of
qu:;l4 "a brood" of qu.tils. On one
occasion he organized a grand hunt.
Thme g:ne wvas jackass rabbits. A
gre:at in my visiting officers were
present, and Scott had taken great
prido in having the hunt conducted
on the strictest principles. He had
rehearsed the home officers and had
instructed thomn that when a rabbit
rain from cover they should all give
the viewaihallo, "Tally-ho 1" Amnon~
the oflicers was a Captain B--.n,
who was an inevitable practical
jokor. The hounds were unloosened
:an,l taken into the wo'ods and soon
openou musically. Every man at
his post in tiptoe anxiety to catch
the flrst glimpse of the expected
game. Suddenly, near the stand of
(J.ipt B--n, out bounded an
cnormous mule with twenty dogs in
full cry at her heels. In this criti
c:l moment, Captain B--n roared
at the top of his voice, "Sally, whoa I
Sally, whoa 1 Sally, whoa 1" The
ridiculous cry was taken up, and the
whole field burst into uncontrollable
laughter. Captain Scott was ..vio
lently enraged, and it took all the
friends of the parties could do to
prevent his calling tie -practical
joker out. Captain Scott was after4
wvard killed while leading his com~
mnand forward in a most desperate
battle of the Mexican wvar.
