The BUNKS TOPPLED OVER.
Rudely Awakened While in Slum5er
Several of Them Injured.

COLUMBUS, o., Jan. 1.-Two hundred
members of the 4th Ohio volunteers,
gathered here for muster out, were
hurled from their improvised beds at
the Auditorium at an early hour Fri
day morning, and % were injured,
quite a number being seriously hurt,
alth ough no fatalities are expected.
In order to accommodate the men,
temporary double-decked hunks had
been constructed out of tent floors and
scantling, and under the weight of the
sleeping soldiers the structure toppled
over. All the injure were I'd battal
ion men. The more seriously hurt
were as follows.
John Kashner, Company M, Ash
vile, injured about the neck and spine
Gordon Withrow, Company NJ, Halls

French Simms, Company E, Washing
ton c. H., rib broken; George New

broken.
There are II others who received
severe injuries and many more or less
bruised. Lack of bracing of the hunks
is the reason given for the accident.
The men in the lower hunks suffered
the most. The extent of the various
injuries can not be told yet, but the
medical staff are doing all possible for
the men. A number were removed to
the various city hospitals, owing to the
severity of their injuries.

faces were so grave and whose speech

to pace the room, saying: "See here,

sprang down as much to get the paper
as to assist him, but as l did so he
scrambled to his feet with hundred
pardons, monsieur, for my clumsiness,"
and then hastily turned and hurried
after his mule, which was already many
yards ahead, behaving after its kind,
and whose speed was not diminished by
the sticks, stones and Oaths flung at
him, and there was roar of laughter-a
mob will laugh or hiss at the merest
triflcs-as the lank figure of the capu-
chin sped along in pursuit of his beast
and vanished after him down side
street.
Belin himself joined in the merri-
ment, and l picked up the paper, mud
dy and much soiled. Smoothing it out
against the flap of my saddle, 1 made
out the words: Tonight, under the
lines in the Tuileries-at COmpline."
There was no doubt about the writing,
and, thrusting the precious scrap into
my breast pocket, l remounted. AS
did so de Belin said: We'll, have you
changed your plans?"
Partly; but I think I shall go back
to my lodging"

CHAPTER XIV.
UNDER THE LINES.

1t mattered little to me if l rode a
portion of the way back with de Belin,
and so l turned CourOnne's head as he
wished. Before setting off, however, he
gave some rapid and whispered orders
to WALTON, emphasizing them with a
loud Quick, mind you, anddo not fail. y"
1T is not likely, monsieur" answered
WALTON, and then set off.
The crowd was as great rs ever, and
we were compelled to go slowly. Look
ing for a moment to my right as we
went forward, l saw WALTON making as
much haste as he could in the delivery
Of his message, and l wished to myself
that my own stout-hearted knave were
with me; one blade such as his was
worth half-dozen hired swords.
1t was my intention to leave de Belin
at his hotel, and make my way as
quickly as possible to my lodging, and
thence, taking the risk of the kings
warning, go straight to the Rue Va
renne and urge madame to instant
fight. My house of cards had come
down, futtering heap, as the first

ITO BE Continued
EARLY DAYS OUT WEST.
How Outlaws and Indians Banded To-
gether to Capture the Over
land Stage Coaches.

Col. "Jim" Stephenson, the livery
man of Omaha, is one of the veteran
freighters Of the old west. There are
rot many of the tribe left, and few Of
them at any time had more adventur-
Gus experiences than he. The terror of
the freighters in those remote times
was Three-Fingered Jack, who was as
sisted by Roman Nose and band of
so Sioux. In those days Stephenson
was driving a Concord coach, one of a
line of which he was operating, making
connection with western railroads. One
of these coaches was set aside to carry
treasure. By leaving Omaha on Mon
day morning the GEO miles to Denver
could be made by Saturday aftsZSc2n.
One day the coach stated out with
100000 for Denver. Stephenson drove
the six horses himself as far as Kear-
ney. There were five passengers and
Ben Adams, the guard. Two hundred
miles out, near where Lexington, Neb.,
now is, while the coach was climbing a
hill, Jacks band blocked the road. He
yelled to Stephenson to pull up h|'t
Jim cracked his whip on the horses,
which sprang forward and two of the
outlaws were run over before they
could get out of the way.
Stephenson says: "At the same time
Ben Adams fired both barrels of q
heavily-loaded shotgun into the band
and killed three of their number. From
both sides of our treasure coach the pas
sengers fired their pistols at the out
laws. They did little execution, but the
bandits evidently thought they had sur
prised an army from the way they scat
tered. I gained the brow of the hill be-
fore the road agents were ready to act.
They poured a volley into the rear of
our coach, which killed two passengers
outright and wounded George Golden.
In spite of his wounds the brave fellow
climbed up to the rear window of the
coach and as the great vehicle swayed
and rolled as we dashed wildly down
the hill poured shot after shot into the
outlaws. This kept the bandits at a dis
lance, and they were afraid to approach
until their Indian allies came up. We
came two miles down the hill in three
minutes. As we reached the foot of
the hill the Indians hove in sight.
They could not get up close to us and
the road agents were afraid. They
sent a cloud of missiles through the
coach, over our heads and into the
horses pulling the coach. One arrow
pierced the face of Golden as he de-
Tended our rear. Another feathered
shaft stuck into Adams back. In adj
di;.cn he received no fewer than ten
other wounds. In spite of the jolting of
the coach he managed to knock several
of the pursuers from their horses with
his rifle.
"The gang followed US until the post
was almost in sight and then drew off.
Of the five passengers four were dead
and Golden was desperately wounded,
but recovered. Denver Times.

And heart-throbs beat the hours Of hope.
