OF ducks immigrating in the daytime?
Deru'y Sheriff X. e. N. Fowler
has been in these parts several days COL
lecting delinquent taxes, and many
see now that 1t would have been bet
ter to have paid before the books
closed; there seems to be many ex-
ecutions. But 1 have heard some
say that some of those called on held
receipts and yet had to pay up this
time under the executions. If this
is so, how is it that the Treasurer
would give receipt and not cover
all the taxes? Is not the name on
the "Treasurer's" duplicate covering
all taxes in one township? If the
reports are true, has the Auditor

seen any of the receipts but have heard
men say that they have seen some
and know that the holders had to
pay this time. They may be mis-
taken though and tho receipts may
be old ones.
Sometimes, and often, large old
fields are set afre and fire left alone
to run its course, burning young rab-
bits, or anything that will burn or
can be killed by burning. Negroes
do this the most, and yet want to,
generally, take up almost the entire
winter hunting rabbits. Then too,
they burn all the nesting places f,r
par,ridges on these acres. But then
this does not make much difference,
for parIridges have but a poor chance,
for this habit of hunting and killing
partIidgps for market purposes, has
we'll nigh ruined the bird business.
The moderate hunter that hunts only
occasionally stands but poor chance
for good birds. Birds may be plenti-
/ full in the fall, but they are scarce in
the spring We have to admit that
the way the people treat this country
and things of the country is running
it in many respects. We would not
like to live in country where all
game wos destroyed. Burning of
old fields promiscuously, raising the
black flag to birds from the egg to
the adult bird, intcrminable scining
and dynimiting fish, 'possum hunting
when the old ''varmints' are poor,
full of chiggers and ticks, ETC., is
cleaning up this country. But peo-
| pie are beginning to advertise land
purposely to prevent some of this.

CHAPTER XXI,

Yes, Burleigh was gone, and there
was confusion at the depot. At six the
doctor had come forth from his room,
saying he was better, but must not be
disturbed. At seven the major, carry
ing satchel, had appeared at his Of
fee, where two clerks were smoking
their pipes, innocent of all thought of
their employers coming. 1t was after
hours. They had no business there at
the time. Smoking was prohibited in
the Office, yet it was the major who
seemed most embarras assed at the uneX-
pected meeting. 1t was the ajor who
hastily withdrew. He was traced to
the railway, and it was speedily found
that he had sent word to the division
superintendent thatthe generalh tel
egraphed for (him to join him at once at
Cheyenne, and a special engine and
caboose would be needed. At a quarter
past seven this had started full speed.
1t was II when the discovery was made.
Meant time Folsom and Stevens had con-
suited together. Folsom had told of
the large sum he had loaned Burleigh
and the conditions attached, and be-
tween them a dispatch, concisely set
ting forth their suspicious, was sent
the general at Cheyenne, with orders
to rush." as they were determined if
possible to head off the fugitive at that
point. Back came the wire ten minutes
before midnight that the general had
left Cheyenne for Laramie by stage
that evening, and must now be near the
Chugwater and far from telegraphic
communication. Then Stevens wired
the sheriff at Cheyenne and the COM
manding officer of the new post of Fort
Russell to stop Burleigh at all hazards.
and at two in the morning the answer
came that the ajor had reached Chey-
enne about midnight and they would
search everywhere for him. This was
the last until long after the rising of
another sun.

ing headlines the local paper published
the details of the massacre at the Gap,
lauqing the valor and devotion of the
soldiers, but heaping abuse upon the
commander Of the post, who, with
other troops at his disposal, had looked
on and lifted no hand to aid them.
Later, of course, it was proved that the
veteran had foiled old Red Clouds vii

chosen ones should set fire to the un-
protected stockade and bear off those
of the women or children whose years
did not commend them to the mercy

men soon saw the colonel was right
and that the only mistake he had made
was in allowing any Of the garrison to
go forth at all. But this verdict was
not published, except long after as un-

CHAPTER NN~~Conlinued
Then for brief moment all eyes CEN
tered on the sole survivor who came
sweeping down the slope, straight for
the stockade. Almost it seemed as
though he might yet escape, despite
the fact that his horse, too, was lurch-
ing and stumbling, and his pursuers
were gaining rapidly, defiant of the
fire of the little fort. Reckless of Or
der and discipline, dozen soldiers
nearest the gate rushed out upon the
open bench, shouting encouragement
and sending long-range, chance shots.
But with every stride the fleeing steed
grew weaker, stumbled painfully and
slackened speed, and soon they saw
him slowing down despite the frantic
jabbing of the spurs, and with droop-
ing head and bleeding nostrils giving
up the fight. And then, at sound of
the triumphant yells and jeers OF his
pursuers, the poor wretch in saddle
threw one fearful glance behind him,
one despairing look toward the COM
rades and the refuge still quarter of
mile away and with shaking hand
he turned the brown revolver on his
own temple and pulled trigger, and
then went tumbling earthward, a
corpse. There at least was one scalp
the Sioux could covet in vain, for, with
shouts of vengeance, the little squad
Of infantry: deaf to all orders or the
clamor OF the bugle recall, dashed out
over the level beach firing furiously as
they ran, and, whether from the SUI
perstitious awe with which the In
dians view the suicide, or the dread
of close combat with the gallant
band of blue-coats, the mounted war
riors turned and scurried across the
prairie, and were presently out of
range beyond the ridge again. Then
and not till they had reached and
lifted and borne the lifeless form Of
the trooper did the little party con-
descend to answer the repeated sum-
mons from the fort. Then at last they
slowly returned. unrebuked, for no
man had the heart to chide their dar-
ing.
Only once more was there further
sight Of the one-sided battle. Half
mile or more beyond the bare divide
there rose against the southern sky
bold, oblong height or butte, studded
with powders and stunted pine, and
watchers at the fort became aware as
the sun climbed higher that the smoke
cloud, thinning gradually but percep-
tibly, was slowly drifting thither The
fire, too, grew faint and scattering.
