CHAPTER XIV.


Tho Twelfth spent its New Years
day hot OH tho Indian trail. Into tho
foothills it wound, tortuous and full of
peril, for from every projecting point,
from rock to rock and crest to crest, the
warrior rear guard poured their fire on
the advancing line. Charges were fruit
less. The nimblo ponies Of the Indians
bore their riders swiftly out Of harm 8
way, and only among tho charging force
did casualties occur. Still, Fenton had
hung like bulldog to his task, hoping
before nightfall to catch up with tho
main body and tho moving village, then
to hem it in. Numerically he was lit
tie better Off than the Indians, as so
Indians can surround 500 troopers much
moro effectively than 500 troopers can
surround so mounted warriors. Through
Bat and others ho had vainly striven to
communicate with Big Road, to assure
him no harm would be dono; that all
that was necessary was for him to re.
turn with his people under escort Of tho
regiment to the reservation. Up to
p. III. not shot had been fired by tho
Twelfth, even in response to a some

the thing was getting cxaspcrating; yet,

to be less than three miles ahead now,
and, with that ovcrhaulcd, tho warriors
could be brought to bay we'll south of

Big Road and his people back to the
agency and then report to these head
quarters for consultation. That dis.
patch, if delivered, would have ruined
all tho plans Of tho plainsmcn. and the
wires were clipped tho moment warn
ing came, and 1t never got beyond the old
substation on the Laramie until after the
repairs wero made, but other dispatch
es were wired from below the breaks,
alleging first that, SO far from Fcnton's
doing as ordered, he was apparently
bent on driving Big Roads people up
the river or into the open field, then
that he had dono SO, and that the In
dians were now raiding the scattered
ranches and driving the cattlo into tho
foothills, while tho sottlors were fleeing
in terror. Fentop's dispatches, wired
before Big Roati's escapadc, had, of
course, been received, but his report Of
the situation was ut utter variance with
that from tho agency and those from
tho Thorpe party. Gross mismanago-
ment and general incompctcncy wero
the principal allegations against Fcnton,
though tho astute "hustlcrs" did not
forget to add drunkenness to the list as
ono which tho public would accept
without question, ho being an army
Officer. and when the governor himself
was induced to add his complaint to
those Of his enterprising people the
general yielded.

that ancient Jerusalem is being wholly
destroyed, not by the Roman legionary,
but by the march of modern improve
ment. Outside the walls the mediae-
val character has gone forever, and
colonies Of various kinds bave built up
quarters or suburbs which are really
modern cities, with European ARCHITECT
ture, fine stores, huge converts, spa
cious hotels and all the idjunct OF
nineteenth century civilization, and in
every. direction building goes on with
fevcrish rapidity, altering or oblitcrat-
ing the ancient landmarks beyond
recognition. The chief builders arc
French and Russians.
