CHAPTER VII.

AS Webb had predicted, even be-
fore nine o'clock, came prompt. sDir-
tied response from Laramie, where
the colonel had ordered the four
troops to prepare for instant march,
and had hidden the infantry to be
ready for any duty the general might
order. From Omaha-departmc
headquarters-alm on the heels
of the Laramie wire came chcery
word from their gallant chief:
Coming to join you noon train to-
day. Cheyenne 1870 tomorrow.
Your action in sending Rays troop
approved. Hold others in readiness
to move at Il moments notice. Wire
further news North Platte, Sidney
or Cheyenne to meet me-"
Everybody, of course, was aware
by eight o'clock that Field had gone
with Ray, and while no officers pre-
sumed to ask if it was because RAY,
or Field, had applied for the detail,
no woman would have been restrained
therefrom by any fear of Webb. Well
he realized this fact, and, lodging the
first that sought to waylay him on
the walk, he had later intrenched
himself, as it were, in his Office, where
Dade, Blake and the old post surgeon
bad sat with him in solemn conciave
while Bill Hay brought his clerk, bar
keeper, storekeeper, Pete, the general
utility man, and even "Crapaud," the
halfbreed, to swear in succession they
had no idea who could have tampered
with either the safe or the stables.
Closely had they been cross-ex-
amined; and, going away in turn,
they told of the nature of the cross
examinations; yet to no one of their
number had been made known what
had occurred to cause such close
questioning. Hay had been forbidden
to speak of it, even to his household.
The otficers-of-the-day were sworn to
secrecy. Neither Wilkins nor the act
ing aGjutant was closeted with the
council, and neither, therefore, could
do more than guess at the facts. Yet
that somebody knew, in part at least,
the trend of suspicion, was at once
apparent to Webb and his councillors
when, about nine O'clock, he took
Blake and Dade to see those sig
nificant bar shoe" hoof prints.
Every one of them had disappeared.

last look. for the time, ct least. at
the distant walls Of Frayne. some
where toward scyen-thirty, Co. poral
Connors' foremost man, far out on
the left flank, ri, ing suddenly over
"A low divide, caught sight of a hon
neted warrior bending fat over his
excited pony and lashing .hat nimble,
flcet-footcd creature 20 mad gallon
in the effort to reach the cover of the
projecting point of blug across the
shallow rayine that cut in toward the
foothills. Stone, the trooper, lifted
his campaign hat on high once, and
then lowered his arm to the hori-
Zontal, hat in hand, pointing in the
direction the darting savage was
seen, and thus, without a syllable
having been spoken at the front,
word was passed in to Ray that one
Indian had been sighted far out to
the northwest.
They may try to hold us among
the breaks of the Mini Pusa," said
he, to his still unreconciled second in
command. Field had been civil. re-
spectful, put utterly uncommunica-
tive in his replies to the captains
repeated cordialitics. Any attempt
to even remotely refer to the causes
that led to his being ordered out
with the detachment had been met
with chilling silence. Now. how
ever, the foe had been seen and
could be counted on to resist if his
rallied force much exceeded that of
the troop, or to annoy it by long
range fire if too weak to risk other
encounter. The command halted one
moment at the crest to take one
long, lingering look at the now far
distant post beyond the Platte; then,
swinging again into saddle, moved
brisllly down into the long, wide hol-
low between them and the next di-
vide, well nigh three miles across,
and as they reached the low ground
and traversed its little draining
gully, a muttered exclamation Look
there!" from the lips of the first
sergeant, called their attention again
to the far left front. Stone, the
trooper who had reported the first
Indian, had turned his horse over to
the second man, as had the corporal
on that flank, and together they
were crouching up along the eastward
face of a billowing hillock, while,
straight to the front Sergeant Scott,
obedient to a signal from his left
hand man, was speeding diagonally
along the rise to the north, for all
three advance troopers had halted
and two were cautiously dismount-
ing. Ray watched one moment, with
kindling eyes, then turned to his
young chief of platoons:
Take your men, Field, ana be
ready to support. There's something
behind that second ridge!"
Cameron County press. [volume] (Emporium, Cameron County, Pa.) 1866-1922, 1903-07-23

without word Of reply, Field
reined out Of column, glanced along
the double file of his platoon, nod
ded signal fall out" To Sergeant
Scott, and the men nearest him at
the front, merely said advance
guard" and then proceeded to choose
his corporals and men for fankers.
No need to tell Scott what to do!
lie had been leading scouts in Arizo-
ma long ere Field had even dreamed
of West Point. In five minutes, rid
ing at easy lope. carbincs advanced,
three little parties of four troopers
each were spreading far out to the
front and flank, guarding the little
column against the possibility of sud
den assault from hidden foe.
And at this moment the situation
was grave in the extreme. There
had been bad blood and frequent
collision between the cattlemen,
herders, 'hustlers'-especia hus-
tiers and the hunting parties of the
Sioux and the Northern Cheyenne,
who clung to the Big Horn range
and the superb surrounding country
with almost passionate love and with
jealous tenacity. There had been ag-
gression on both sides, then blood
shed, then attempts on part of from
tier sherffs to arrest accused or sus-
pected red men, and equally deter
mined and banded effort to prevent
arrest of accused and identified
whites. by due process of law, as
administered in the days whereof we
write, the Indian was pretty sure to
get the worst of every difference, and
therefore, preferred, not unnatur-
ally, his own time-honored methods
of settlement. In accordance there
with, had they scalped the sheriffs

young braves who had availed them
selves of a pnrposely given chance
to escape, and then in their undis-
eliminating zeal, the Sioux had
opened fire from ambush on Plod-
der's hunting parties and the chop
pers at the wood camp, who defend
ed themselves as best they could, to
the end that more men, red and

night a runner from the stage sta

the north and southbound stages had
taken refuge there, with only ten
men, all told, to stand oil some 90
warriors, and therefore imploring as

AN OLD GAME DISGUISED.

A STRANGER From Tennessee Runs
Against a Confidence Game.
Time was according to the old time
honored and hoary-headed jokes when
the unsophlstcated westorner fell an
easy victim to the shrewd confidence
man Of the East but the times are
changing. The man from the East,
with n superabundance Of self-assur-
ance and the gold brick, plays a los

less looking Creek citizen with the
bogus lease.
A new game. or rather an old game
n disguise, was played on new
conner Saturday. s. w. Bell, a school
teacher from Tennessee. who is look.
ing for an opportunity to rent a farm
In this country, took the train at Wag-
oner for Muskogee. He no doubt
made his business pretty generally
known, and was soon approached by
a negro. who told him that he was
the owner of several hundred acres
OF fine farming land, sixteen head OF
horses and other property in proper.

all the land he wanted and furnish
him all the stock necessary for run.

While they were engaged In con-
versation. another negro came across
the car and addressing the man OF
land and property, told him that he
was collecting the tribal tax and that
the amount OF his taxes was s2O.5O.
The land owner didn't have the money
with him. lie could get It az )on as
he got to Muskogee, where he had
large bank account. He explained this
TO Ren, and asked him TO loan him
the money till they got to Muskogee.
Bell. wishing to accommodate his fu.
ture landlord, told him he had just
IS. II that would do him any good
he was welcome TO II. The two ne
groes conferred together for a short

money and he and his prospective
landlord came on to Muskogee togeth-

When they landed at the Katy de-
pot the negro landlord gave Bell the
slip and no waited almost the entire
day, when It began to dawn upon his
mind that he had been buncoed.
He told his story to Judge Leehey,
who sent Bass Reeves out in search
