The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1890-12-27

Mr.. Hayne was up and around again.
The springtime was coming, and the
prairie roads were good and dry, and
the doctor had told him he must live in
the open air awhile and ride and walk
and drive. He stood in no want of
mounts" for three or four of his cav
airy friends were ready to lend him a
saddle horse any day. Mr.. and Mrs.
Hurley, after making many pleasant ac-
qualntances, had gone ON to Denver,
and Capt Buxton was congratulatine
himself that he. at least, had not run
foul OF the engineers powerful fists.
buxton was not in arrest. for the case
mad proved a singular poser" It &C.
Cured during the temporary absence
OF the colonel; he could not well place
the captain under arrest for things he
had done when acting as post comman-
DER In obedience to his orders from
department headquarters, he made his
report OF the affair, and indicated that
Capt. Buxton's conduct had been inex-
cusable. Rayner had done nothing but,
as was proved, reluctantly obey the cap
tains orders, SO he could not be tried.
Hayne, who had committed one of the
most serious crimes in the military cata-
iogue-that OF drawing and raising a
weapon against IN officer who was in
discharge of his duty (Rayner). had the
sympathy of the whole command, and
nobody would prefer charges against
him. The general decided to have the
report go up to division headquarters,
and thence it went with los varied COM
ments and Endorsements to Washington:
and now court OF inquiry was talked
OF. Meantime poor bewildered Buxton
was let severely alone. What made him
utterly miserable was the fact that in
his own regiment, the til, nobody
spoke OF it except as something that
knew was sure to happen the
moment he got in command. If it had
mt been that 'twould have been something
else. The only certainty was that Bux-
ton would never lose chance of making !
an ass Of himself.
Instead of being furious with him. the
whole Observation-Disclosures and men-sim-
ply ridiculed and laughed at him. He
had talked of preferring charges against
Blake for INSTRUMENTATION, and asked the
adJutant what lie thought of it. 1t was
