On among t:,e srees and bushes Suddenly
| there came a sharp report FROM behind
tree not over a hundred and fifty PAGES
away and bullet came zip through the cap
of the Colonel, 50 near his skull as to stag
ger him.
"Are We hurt, Kernels" cried Tom.
mo. Down on the ground, every one OF
you! There are sharpshooters over therew
In moment the men were prone upon
the earth and taking advantage of such
shelter as they could find.
'Chaw me up 4 l don't Spite the mug q
that critter,'' said old Arkansaw Tom.
'sThar hain't been but one in all this era
deviltry n I'll stop him 4 he sticks his ugly
mug out from behind that tree''
Arkansaw Tom lay behind an oak, where
projecting root afforded an excellent rest
for his gun. They were near enough to the
sharpshooter to hear him ramming charge
home in his gun.
A few moments later q face was seen to
peep around the tree. All was still as
death, but that unerring Springfield rifle Of
Arkansaw Tom was leveled on the face. A
moment of breathless silence, and then
came deafening report and puff of smoke.
When it had cleared away a dark form was
seen lying at the root of the tree from be-
hind which the bold sharpshooter had been
firing.
This was the only one of the enemy found
at the front that day, and on the evening of
the 5th Colonel Mason returned tohis camp,
about as well satisfied as some of his su-
perior officers that there was no danger of
an immediate attack.
1t was Saturday evening, and he laid down
to peaceful SAUNDERS hoping for a quiet
Sabbath. He retired late, and, being weary,
slept soundly.
When he awoke 1t was broad daylight,
and the tremendous roar of a storm of some
kind came to his ears. He soon discovered
that it was the shouts of men, the rattle of
musketry and boom of cannon, mingled
with the long roll of the drummer.
"Wake up, Colonel, for Gcd saker'
cried one of his staff. 1--WE are surprised.
Johnston's whole army is upon u.s."

CHAPTER XIv.-CONTISuEp.
Luke spurred his horse forward, and had
just come in sight of garden fence, when
there came crash, and over and through
the rotten pickets plunged three horsemer
in gray uniforms. Colonel Mason was only
a few rods from them, and fired revolve,
as they disappeared into thicket
Fire don't let them escape he shouted
squirting his horse In the thicket after the
fleeing men. Twenty muskets belched forth
their deadly contents into the wood The
bullets shattered the trees, cut off the
leaves in showers, but the three Confed-
crates still Numbered ahead, evidently un-
harmed
In his eagerness to capture them, Colonel
Mason never stopped to consider that he
was only one man on horseback, the remain
der of his staff being in another place.
An occasional glimpse of the fleeing gray
coats spurred him on, and he drove his
horse at the top of his speed through the
woods Two or three times he fired his re-
volver, but owing to intervening trees and
the speed at which they were travelling he
missed.
They were fully three-fourths Of mile
from the house when the sharp report of a
rife broke ON the air, and the foremost
horse and rider went down. A white puff
of smoke from behind tree marked the
place from whence the shot had been fired.
The horse pitched his rider over his head,
throwing him with such force against a tree
as to stun him.
Colonel Mason was astonished at the shot,
for he knew none of his men were near
enough to have fired it, but he never for a
moment slackened his speed. As his horse
few through the woods, leaping logs and
whizzing past trees. he saw the fallen rebel
trying to rise, the blood streaming from a
cut in his forehead, caused by his fall against
the tree.
A large, powerful negro bounded from a
thicket with blood -curdling yell, and club
bing his rife ran upon the fallen man to
dash out his brains. Down came the gun as
a curse of vengeance escaped the black, but
at the instant il fell horseman was along
side and sword was thurst forward ward
ing off the blow.
'Whatl would you kill a wounded mani"
cried Luke.
"God almighty, massa, don't stand in my
wayI" cried the negro, painting with rage.

time on to the 9th of April skirmishIng along

the little child in her arms jumped from

and the farmers that the Creamery is
now in operation, and wants to purchase
milk at 81 per 100 pounds. 1t is esti-
mated that the product of 100 pounds OF
milk is four pounds of butter, SO it can
be seen that the price is as liberal as can
be offered. The method employed is the
DeLaval Separator process, which separ-
ates the cream from the milk on its
arrival at the factory.

Despite the fact that petitions signed
by over 600 of the taxpayers of the
county were presented to the Commits
sioners at their meeting last Monday,
requesting that no tax levy be made at
present for building a new courthouse
and jail at Colfax, until the matter had
been submitted to popular vote, yet did
this distinguished body with the ex-
ception of Commissioner Hill, of Pull
man) vote to advertise at once for plans,
specifications and bids for erecting said
buildings. The plan is, of course, to
create the heavy debt first and then levy
the tax to meet it, whether the people
outside of Colfax desire such action or
not. The HERALD is led to wondering
whether this ignoring of the expressed
wishes of the taxpayers by their hired
servants will be permitted to go on. It
is as plain as day that the majority OF
the Board and their Colfax hackers dare
not submit the question to vote of the
people, knowing that it would be de-
feated three to one. We very much
mistake the feeling and temper of the
eastern portion of the county if its cit
liens allow themselves and their wishes
to be thus trifed with and ignored by a
little clique of small taxpayers at the
county-seat. OF this more hereafter

CHANCES INCREASED

By the admission Of the four new
states into the union considerable
change will be wrought in the figures
upon which estimates of the political
strength Of the two parties is based.
In the, first place the electoral college
Will be increased by thirteen members,
OF whom three will represent Montana,
three South Dakota, four North Da-
kota and three Washington. This
will make the total number of electors
Ala.
If the recent elections in the new
states are any indication of how they
will go in 1892, the republicans will
have ten additional electors to count
upon and the democrats three. This
apportionment of the new electors will
change somewhat the relation of what
have been known in the past as pivotal
states.
The two states of New York and
Indiana have enjoyed this distinction
for the last few years, and each party
had to have them, OF at least one of
them, (New York;, in order to carry
the election. The admission of the
new states has, however, changed this
so far as to give the republicans a
fair chance for success. without carry
ing New York.
The following figures will show how
this may be. In the last election In
diana gave Harrison a plurality of
1892 votes. This makes Indiana a
close state in the next election, with
the chances in favor of the republicans.
The late election in Montana showed
divided vote, by which the repub-
icans elected their congressman, but
the democrats carried the state ticket.
The republicans have 1872 votes in the
electoral college from "safe" states.
They need but 208, one over the half
of 4I4. Indiana and Montana have
nineteen votes and if the republicans
can gain them they are victors by
majority of three electors. 1t follows
that next election Indiana and Mon
tana may be the doubtful and pivotal
states.
From this it will be seen that tine
republican chances for success in 1892
have been much increased by the ad-
mission of the new states.
