those Of two unfortunate herders
found killed father up the valley
Then making long night ride Of it..
for it is cooler travelling and Garvey
seems in great hurry, they pass
York's and George Guthrie's and ford
ing the river at Carrors jin-mill. they
come out on the great plains, and pass
ing the ten mile mounds, they getint
LordsbuTg early in the morning to find
the Pullman car with its Raymond
excursionists still waiting the train
dcspatcher's orders.
Seeing this the sheriff mutters stern
", i've got 'eml" Then turns and
hurriedly asks, "Is Hank Johnston in
town." and receiving an answer that
young frontier lawyer is even now in
the Ormsby House, he bolts upstairs
to find Mr.. Johnston in the act OF
dressing.
In his bedroom they have an ami
mated ten minutes interview and dis
cuss one or two law points, Carvey
leaving his legal adviser with this sig
nltcant remark, III you do this busi-
ness right cute. Hank, it'll put you in
to congress next election sartin as
you're out of it now"
"You won't have long t) wait for
the inquest, remarks the man.
AS he speaks, such masCu1ins ex-
clamations of surprise, indignation,
and horror, mingled with one or two
small sreams from women, come from
the Pullman car nearest to them that
Arthur cries out, Good heavens,
what's that?"
That, says the deputy-sheriff, with
a curious look on his face, sis Mr.
Garyey serving his subpoenies on the
philanthrOpists and rounding up for
MS ,coroner's jury the Raymond excur-
sionists"
In this he is perfectly right. At
present great scene is taking place
in the interior of the Pullman car.
The sleeper, which is rather shabby
and road worn, Is crowded by a lot OF
eXeursi0nists whom the energetic Ray
mond has lured by promise of a cheap
trip TO the Pacific Slope from their ma
tive hauhts in New England. r
They have just got out of their nai-
row shell into the great west and DOM t
like its course on the Indian question.
lmbuod with true phianthrOpic ign0-
rance, accepting that half-truth that
the savage has all the wrongs on his
side and the settler and pioneer have
none: ncvef having seen the noble ret
man on his native soil, they know not
his debauchery, his wOrthleSsness, his
cruelty-they arc not even aware that
M man who has ever known the lndi-
anhs he really is wild, wicGed and
lazy. thinks there are any good Indi-
ans but dead Indians.
And now cOoped up for three burn
ing days in this little railroad station
on the ella plateau, they have struck
the Indian question in full practical
operation, and have been giving their
views upon it to the rage Of those who
have suffered loss of fortune or friends
or family from Apache raids.
This morning, headed by one Rog-
crs. an agriculturist, who has never
been kept awake fearing sayages on
his New Hampshire farm, they have
formed a meeting and are about TO
send a protest to Washington on be-
hal OF the prosecuted red man.
AS Garvey enters the chairman has
lust begun reading the following adj
dress
ITO the President OF the United States;
We, the undersigned, having witit5ssod,
with horror in our hearts and tears in oiu
eyes. the departure of armed bands of COW
boys as well as United States troops froni
iordshurg to murder the peaceful. long en-
during Apaches of our reservatlons---"
At these words a banefal light
springs into the sherifT's eyes, his hand
goes to his revolver, and did Roger
know it, he would fall down and beg
for mercy, being in greater Peril of h3s
life than has ever before come TO
him in his sleepy bucolic existence.
controlling himself with mighty eff
fort, Mr. Garyey simply says; stop.
talking about things
you are ignorant of as a niggerl I've
got a supenee for ye, Ephram Doe
Rogers!"
"a subpoena cries the New Eng
lander. For what?"
"A supenee to act on the coroners
jury"
"Pough! I'm not citizen of the
territory, cries Mr.. Rogers arily.
Don't interrupt this meeting. sir!"
mo, | amt going TO interrupt this
meeting I'm simply going to bag it
for the cOroner's jury. got supenees
for every man of We, says Garyey in. a
low but determined voice, and he
reads them out; ASA Doe Bullock,
Hiram Roe Filkins, John Doe. Rich
ard Roe, etc, etc. and forces a legal
document into the trembling hands of
each one Of the men; for he has a long,
black murderous looking revolver III
the other. that makes one OF the
women shrek, Hes road agent!'
and fall on her knees to him.
my dear madam, says Mr.. Garvey;
he has learned this form Of address
among the creoles when boy and al
ways uses 1t in cases of extreme Ae-
litcness. "Ladies and children are
always safer for Brick Garyeys being
round; so is tenderfoots but theSe
men heah, don't know that the law
permits coroner to git his jury whar
he can find 'em, and they are gning in
to that room to furnish a verdict on
the men and women murdered by ffeiy
Apache friends, and that ar verdict Is |
going to be in accord with the facts Of
the case, or the Lord have marcy on
