ONE MAN QUELLS A THOUSAND.
Lieutenant Breckenridge, in his tent
in the model camp heard the tumult
and at once made his way to the scene
"Tll shoot the first man that takes a
step forward" said he as he stood
with his pistol leveled at the angry
men,
The business end of the Colt and the
cool effrOntery of the man who held it,
as against thousand had a chilling
effect on the marauders, who were all
rage so long as they were unoppoSed,
and they fell back. Breckenridge held
his position until the provost guard
marched up and emphasized Its orders
to dispense with vigorous thrusts of the
bayonet. In ten minutes the street was
cleared and the men had scattered to
their camps.

they say the soldiers are so thoroughly
aroused that his life would not be safe
even with police protection.
