HOW CAPTAIN AKEY SAVED HIS LIFE.


Tremor or Loss of Color.
Eureka Leader.
Captain Akey, who killed man in Nevada
the other day, was mining in Toulumne
county, California, when the war broke out.
and, with number of other residents, vol
unteered his services. A company was
raised, all good men, and he was elected
captain. Much to their disappointment the
Government decided to keep them in Cali
fornia, and they were ordered to Humbolt
Bay. rAkey's head was turned
by the authority conferred upon
prosecutions which almost drove his men
mad. They bore it for months, until it
passed beyond the limits of endurance, and
then they resolved to end it. This resolve
took the form of determination never to
obey another command of Akey's. This was
nothing more or less than mutlny. and was
punishable with death; but the boys pre-
ferred that to the tyranny under which they
had groaned and suffered SO long.
An order had been received to proceed
from Humboldt bay to Red bluffs, and Akey
went by way of the ocean to San Francisco,
while the company crossed the mountains.
They were encamped on the bank of the
Sacramento river when he arrived, and the
crisis came as soon as he put his foot in
camp. He called the company out on pa
rade. and ordered all those who had resolved
to repudiate him to step two PAGES to the
firmly took the steps. The sheriff of Tehama
county was with him, and, turning to that
officer, he asked him If he would assist him
in arrestiBg the orderly sergeant. The officer
replied that he would, and the two started
to do SO, when they were both covered with
so revolvers, the ominous click of which
sounded painfully intense. The sheriff took
to his heels, and never stopped running un-
til he reached the ferry, a quarter of a mile
distant, but Akey confronted the angry men
as coolly as If nothing extraordinary was
| happening. The color never left his face,
| nor did tremor disturb his equanimIty,
| although he fully realized that the
| men were thirsting for his blood.
Nothing but his bravery saved
him, for they had fully determined
| upon killing him, but as he ran his eyes uT
and down the line and said, Boys. the odds
are too much," they respected his courage
dropped their weapons. and allowed hin
slowly to retire. The upshot of the affail
was that he was relieved of his command
and, after an investigation of the circum
stances, was discharged from the service
/ There was at first determination on tn,
| part of the Government to courtmartial tn,
| soldiers, but the offence was finally con
1 doned and they served out their term of en-
hstment, doing good work for their country
