ping his stick, was already trudging
angrily away.
That night the paymaster himself
arrived at Fort Ransom, leaving his
faithful clerk in conference with the
officials of the town. Graves was soon
the center of an eager gathering at
Rhett's quarters. BY this time. too,
Curran was back, coming up on the af-

Alkai by the east-bound express the
previous evening. The escort was al
ready there, bivouacked for the night
at the edge of the stream. They werq
M betilnes and had a hot breakfast ali
ready for Graves, and were surprised
to see the train shoot past instead OF
stopping to let him OF. Not until the
engine sent out from Butte came steam
ing down at noon did they know what
had taken place at Minden. Then there
was nothing left him but to return by
the first opportunity. The sergeant
and detachment remained awaiting
orders. as the paymaster might draw
funds from the bank at Butte and come
on again. just as he was leaving on
the afternoon freight courier came
to Allxali with orders for the sergeant
and the messenger said that the bat
talon had reached Willow Springs and
was surprised to find no paymastel
there. News from the lower valley
was so threatening that Col Winthrop
had determined, after resting a couple
of hours. to push on for Painted Lodge
upon the supposition that the paymas
ter had missed No. ;. The escort was or
dered to wait for him until the next TRAN

was supposed to find ample sustenance
for its passengers before pushing on
for the long days run through the
mountains. The sheriff and the cor
oner. as was the case in most frontier
cities of the day, were by long odds the
hardest-worl1ed officials, and just now
the sheriff was fairly used up. The
first intimation of anything wrong east
of Butteville was the sudden stop OF

dispatchers and night operators sit

who had had hard ride and could go
no farther. But for his orders to meet
