Jimmie's place, but such
striking back seemed never
occurred to the boy. Well,
when a part of our regiment
off from the brigade by flank
ment of the Union troops. and
situation was desperate, our capita
steps out and says:
"Boys, 1 want to send word to
Colonel -. Where's the man who'll
take it2"
lie was looking right at Big Sam all
the time, but that individual turned
two shades whittier, and hid himself il
the rear ranks, muttering that nobody
but fool would try to push past 5000
Yankee muskets with the message.
The first thing we knew Jimmie had
mounted horse from which some Of
ficer had been shot and was riding
away. How he ever ran that gaunt-
let with his life was more than could
tell, but he did get through, and down
came enough of our forces to help us
out Of the box.
This was new cause for Big Sam to
hate Jimmie. The boy had not only
exhibited greater courage in the face
of danger, and right before us all, but
he was promoted to second corporal.
This was a promotion right over the
head of Big Sam, and he felt it to the
ends of his fingers. He couldn't nag
the boy any more, and have no doubt
he swore solemn oath to kill him at
the first opportunity. Indeed, he
limited as much, and became so ugly
and abusive to all that some of us
wanted to kill him.
Well, in about six weeks we had
another tussle with the Yanks. We
got into it hot and heavy, and as we
were driving them for the moment !
found myself alongside of Big Sam.
We were disputing for a rise Of ground,
and far in advance Of us, carrying the
flag which the cOlor-bearer had drOpp-
ed as bullet had hit him, was COrpO-
raj Jimmie. 1 was feeling proud to
see him there, when, as heaven is my
Judge, l saw Big Sam raise his musket
take deliberate aim at the boy, and
next moment Corporal Jimmie went
down.
1t was a hurlyburly time, with grape
and lead cutting all around us, and l
let the incident pass for a time, de-
termined, though, that Big Sam should
pay the forfeit after the battle.
We kept on and on, but as we rose
the hill we were checked. In five
minutes more we were being driven,
and that was how it came about that
Corporal Jimmie, with his left arm
broken by Big Sans bullet, found
himself lying beside the ex-Overseer,
who had a Yankee bullet in his leg.
There were plenty of others wounded,
and some dead ones, too, but our two
men lay almost side by side. Big Sam
was groaning, cursing and whining
like the coward he was, when a can
teen was held within reach and a voice
said:
"Take it, comrade-a drink win
ease your pain"
"W-what! is it yOu?" exclaimed the
overseer as he rose up on his elbow
and gazed at Jimmie.
"Yes; both Of US are down, but you
are hit the worst. Can help your"
"You help me?"
"0f course"
It paralyzed Big Sam to meet with
such words from the man he had tried
to kill. After time he groaned out
"say, Jimmie, you orter shoot me
through the head"
"What for?"
'Cause, Pm the man that fred that
bullet into you"
well, I don't want revenge. I'm
now able to crawl away, but I won't
leave YOU"

Gil, with marked stupidity, defeated the

COUNTY ROADS.

One of the many disadvantages of a
county embracing 1900 square miles
as dogs Meagher, is the impractical
billty of the commissioners giving
proper attention TO the improvement
of public highways.
Though the annual levy Of road
tax has been exacted from all alike,
the benefit derived to eastern Meagher
county is as naught compared to the
annual outlay on county roads west OF
White Sulphur Springs. One instance,
the new road to Townsend cost 5000,
for the payment Of which 4 special
road tax WAS levied. The advantages
gained are well worth the cost to the
western portion Of the county, though
of little, if any value, to taxpayers OF
this portion, while, in direct ratio to
assessed valuation, they had to pay
their proportion. No one questions
the justice of general taxation for
county improvements though no bene-
fit be derived by goodly proportion
Of the population, but when nine
,enths of the general and all Of the
special road tax fund is expended in
one section Of the county 10 the flag
ran, neglect of the other, the injustice
is pre-eminent.
All moneys expended from the
county road fund, in improving the
pubic highways east OF the Belt range,
within our knowledge, will not exceed
500. $3.50 Of which was consumed in
making the road through Maiden
gulch and over Gold hill, in the Judith
mountains. passable. But for town
