Patersoh, N. J.—Missing for 90 hours,
Stella Weiner, five years old, and her
playmate, Harry Barber, seven, were
found, suffering from hunger and ex­
haustion, in the clothes closet of a
vacant apartment In which they had
been imprisoned. After they had been
revived, the children explained they
entered the closet while playing hide
and seek, but had not closed the door.
Soon afterward, they said, Ethel Beil
Inofsky, another playmate, slammed
the doors and they did not realize
tlley WtfTe" stored ~ii|f tin'ttl After slie
htu} l^ft the ropm.. j^thei, who Is only

had closed the dOor, or else did not
replize t)iey were in the closet.
When tiie children failed to come
home to supper, tlie distracted parents
began an exhaustive search for them.
Police and neighbors combed the vl
clnity, but found riii trace of them.
A few days later Jacob Weiner and
Samuel Miller visited the vacant apart
ment' for ii game of cards. Strange
noises from a clothes closet startled
them anfl they opened the door. On
the floor Weiner saw the partly con*
scious form of his little •sister, and
huddled in'a corner was her boy play­
mate: Doctors summoned soon re­
vived the children. The fact that the
closet door did not fit closely, thus
permitting a slight circulation of air,
saved their lives,: the doctors who at­
tended them said.

"BAT" MASTERSON'S REVENGE
sON
THE CHEYENNES
One December day in the early sev­
enties a young buffalo hunter down
in the Texas Punhundle was busy skin­
ning a buffalo when five Cheyennes of
Chief Bear Shield's band rode up, sa­
luted him with a grave "How!" and
sat on their ponies idly watching his
work. Although the hunter's Sharps
riile was lying some distance away,
lie was not worried, for the Cheyennes
were supposed to be peaceful at that
time.
Presently one of the red men dis­
mounted and picked up the Sharps
as though to examine it and, as he
did so, another reached across and
whipped the pistol from the holster in
the hunter's belt. Instantly the first
Indian struck the white man a mur­
derous blow across the forehead with
the rifle and in broken but emphatic
English told him to "git." The hunter
was outnumbered five to one he
"got."
The victim of the Cheyennes was
"Bat" Mnsterson. William Barclay
Masterson was his name, but his suc­
cess as a butt'!!Io hunter had won him
the title of "Bat," as a worthy success­
or to Baptiste Brown, "Old Bat,' a
mighty slayer of game in the old days.
Masterson readied his camp in safety.
That night lie rode stealthily into
Bear Shield's village and "cut out" 40
of the old chief's ponies. As he worked
lie came upon another rider engaged
in the same occupation. It proved
to be Billy Tighlman, a fellow buffalo
hunter who later became a famous dep­
uty United States marshal.
When in 1874 a war party swept
down upon tlie Adobe Walls, the buf­
falo hunters' headquarters, some of
Bear Shield's warriors rode with it,
and one of the defenders of the little
stockade was "Bat" Masterson. Then
and there he obtained revenge for the
blow which tlie Cheyenne had struck
him.
After the Adobe Walls fight, Mas­
terson enlisted as a scout for General
Miles and served with him until the
southern plains tribes were subdued.
A few years later he was elected
sheriff of Ford county, Kansas. Dodge
city, the county seat, was one of the
toughest cowlioy towns in the West,
but when Masterson resigned in 1881
it was one of the most peaceful. By
his courage and his skill he had es­
tablished a record second only to Wild
Bill Hlckote as a tamer of "bad men."
Then he left the West never to
return, and today "Bat" Masterson is
a high salaried writer on a New York
newspaper.

THE LONG SHOT MADE BY BILLY
"''V— DIXON
"The old Sharps rifle ended the
North American buffalo," once wrote
Theodore Roosevelt, the chronicler of
the winning of the West, and he
might have added that this famous
gun helped write "Finis" to the story
of the Indian.with a few periods of
lead.
One of the most remarkable shots
ever made with this rifle too* place
at the Adobe Walls light in the Texas
Panhandle in 1874, when a war party
of Kiowas, Oomanclies and Clieyennes
tried to wipe out a little group of buf­
falo hunters who had their headquar­
ters there. The shot was fired by
Billy Dixon, known to tlie Indians as
"Hasta—Long Hair."
After three charges against the
stockade had failed to overwhelm the
buffalo hunters, the Indians settled
down to starve them out. During tlie
siege "Bat" Masterson, one of the
hunters, noticed a group of Indians
gathered on a hill nearly three-quar­
ters of a mile away. They could be
plainly seen, and were evidently talk­
ing over some new plan for overcom­
ing the white men when M.isterson
called Dixon's attention to the group.
"Billy, it wouldn't be a bad idea to
break up that little pow-wow over
there, would It?" he said.
"Don't know whether the old Sharps
is good for it or not, but I'll try it,"
replied Dixon. He knew tlie ran^e—
approximately 1,200 yards. Fixing the
sights of Mils gun to this range, the
scout aimed carefully and fired. The
white men saw the conference of the
warriors break up hastily and the sav­
ages retreat to a safer place.
Dixon served as a scout for General
Miles in the campaign against the
southern tribes that year, gnd he was
one of the six dispatch bearers who
made a heroic stand in an old buffalo
wallow against a war party of 1525
Comanches and Kiowas. In this fight
Amos Chapman, a fellow scout, lost
his leg. Although Dixon's shirt front
was riddled with bullets, he received
only one slight wound. That night
he volunteered to go for help and
after a perilous trip he brought back
a troop of cavalry and rescued his
comrades.
For nine years Dixon was govern­
ment scout at Fort Elliott, Tex. Then
he homesteaded a ranch in the Pan­
handle, building his log house on the
ruins of the old Adobe Walls where
lie had made his famous shot with the
old Sharps. Later he moved to Cimar­
ron county, Oklahoma, and died near
the little town of Gresham in 1914.
