soldierly effort has cost him his life,
But he has lived like like
q Thornton he'll die; and, kneeling by
Schultz's lifeless form, he drives the
last shot from the sergeant's carbine,
losses 1t aside, grips tight his beautiful
revolver, proud fathers gift, and
with last prayer on his lips, and
mothers face swimming before his
eyes, braces himself for the shock.
These is sudden clamor Of shots behind
him. Straight in front, not forty
yards away, charging Sioux plunges
headforemost to the ground, his pony
veers wildly, SO do two others, and the
well-aimed shots have taken effect.
"Courage!" he shouts. "They haven't
got US yet" For. checked by this un-
looked-for salute and dreading more,
the warriors duck and swerve and cir

with LETTERS close second.
Quick, lieutenant! Quick! Back to
the ridge! Wen bring Schultz"
Too late. Seeing how puny in num-
Der are the little party Of rescuers, the
Sioux come on again, firing as they
dash, and then for the first time Thorn
ton finds his hands and arms covered
with blood. A deadly faintness over
comes him. The earth begins to swim
and rock and whirl, and he only knows
that Schramm has swung him on his
broad and muscular shoulders before
he swoons away. They are holding his
flask to his lips, when-safe for a
time at least-he opens his eyes among
the rocks of Slaughter cove.

while the men are rapidly dismounting
and running out to kneel and return
the tire now coming in from almost
every side, Schramm, cheering with de-
light and enthusiasm, leading the way.
Then comes the uphill fight to gain
the cove. Not an instant can be lost.
Already, with soldierly appreciation of
the situation, Sergt. LETTERS has
dismounted two or three men to hold
the ridge over which lies the line Of
retreat, and Thornton, directing two
men to lead back the horses, disperses
his little force as skirmishers.
Get your wounded back up the
hill" he says to Schultz. "Jeffers knows
where we are to make our stand. Fall
back, fast as you can. Well keep 'em
off," The bullets are nipping the
bunch-grass all round them, and the
old German sergeant's face is very
grave and white, but he never waivers,

going out second time"
Thornton closes his eyes moment.
Faint from loss of blood, the realiza-
ton of the peril Of the past hour and
the danger of the present, he know6 no
pain from his wounds. he realizes that
he is in command, responsible for all,
and that there may yet be demand
for his every energy. He needs to
think; yet everything seems awhirl.

ant" says LETTERS. You're very weak
yet, but we're all right now" And he
holds the flask to the boys lips and
raises him on his arm. cts my belief

hll the regiment that isn't just mad for
fair fight with 'em. They won't
bother us more this day, so long as we
keep inside and under cover, and II the
colonel's after them the rest won't stop
to inquire for us tomorrow either"
'How many are wounded9" asks
Thornton, feebly.
"Well sir, there's yourself and Cor
poral Treacy-you're the only one seri-
ously hurt. Little Reddy there is shot
in the leg, and three or four are
scratched. Schramm's shirt If full OF
holes, and / thought he must be hit,
he was SO covered with blood. Between
losing Schultz and Bredow, he feels
pretty well broke up; but there won't
be anything too good for him in the
regiment when we get back, sir. Here
he comes now; he's been over at the
spring washing off the blood"
Thornton feebly turns: "Schramm,
nv brave fellow! 1t seems / owe my |
life to you. Where would have been
but for your courage9"
And Schramm, apparently not seeing
the hand feebly outstretched, stands at
salute and replies:
"Where would / have been, sir, but

A SERIOUS AFFAIR.
The Shooting 81 G. ". Merchant By Con.
stable HOp Cloud ct chieksshs. Ia
voIved In Aystsry--Msy DIe.

Last Tuesday night there occurred
in Chickasha the most serious affair
which has happened within the past
two years or more, resulting in the
fearful wounding OF a citizen, and
placing a young man and an otticer
in endless trouble, and placing upon
him a dread feeling that must stay
with him through life. The full cir
cumtances surrounding the affair are
not fully known at this time, and
probably will not be until a judicial
investigation is held. IL Is the result
Of, as much as any thing else, n
reprehensive practice of carrying n
murderous six-shooter by citizens,
and again by officers, and to the ap-
pointment Of very young men 10 the
position of marshals and constahles.
Briefly told, Geo. W. Merchant had
been drinking during the day and
went to the Wells livery stable about
eight O'Clock in the evening and or
dered a team. While IL was being
hitched up Merchant went into the
office, where some boys were, who
began iibing him, and he drew his
revolver and said he would take them
to the lookup. One OF them went for
Constable Hop Cloud, who soon came
and arrested Merchant. and wanted
him to give up his pistol, which he
refused TO do, but said he would 60
peaceably, and they started on in
the dark. After going about half a
block they called back TO put away

HONEST JURIES.
The Theory Of the Paris Advocate That
They Are All In Texas Exploded BY
Its OwnAccount Of an Incident.

From time to time for the past sew
eral weeks the Paris Advocate has
been alleging that the lack of com
petent and honest juries were the
principal barriers against the courts
of the Territory being given full jur-
isdiction over offenses Icommitted in
this country. In making these charges
the Advocate would contrast the diff
ferences between a jury at Paris and
one in the Territory always giving
the virtue of purity and honesty to
the Texas side of the question. To
say that Texas juries are competent
and honest is all right, for as a rule,
we believe they are, but on the other
hand to assert that equally as good
men are not to be had for jury ser
vice in this country is as absurd as
it is unjust and unwarranted.
In contrast to its past utterances,
and death blow to its attempted ar
gument, it is only necessary to read
the following from its columns. 1t
says:
During the first week of the Grim
inal docket in the district court it
was noted that every case that was
tried the accused parties were acquit-
ted. District Attorney Nichols was
j greatly annoyed at the action of the
jury as in some of the cases the proof
seemed to show conclusive guilt.
On Thursday evening OF that week
he had all cases set over until the
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1895-11-24

next week and the jury was discharg-
ed. IL now transpires that while the
jury was out on 4 case that one OF
the jurors missed his pocketbook and
mentioned ii to the other iurymen.
Another member suggested that every
man in the room be searched and
with the exception Of one all of them
agreed. He took the man aside who
had lost his pocketbook and gave Il
to him. On examining il he found
no money and asked the man for IT,
The fellow denied having IL until he
was threatened with arrest, when he
returned the money to it's owner. IL
was agreed among them all that
nothing be said about It, but It leak
ed out-as all such things do, and
now District Attorney Nichols
is going to have that juryman indict-
ed for theft from the person at the
next term Of court.
II also turns out that the same jury
man was hobnobbing with the rela-
tives of defendants in important cases
Mr.. Nichols says he is determined 10
make an example of him that others
are not likely to initiate.
