trembling, that the Indians were at
last on the warpath and were coming
down on the troops as fast as horse
flesh could carry them.
The little wagon train in ignorance of
the scare it had given the ranchers
was steadily moving up one hill, down
another, round bare gumbo butte,
gradually drawing nearer to the point
where it would be relieved of its bur-
den and make for home. No thought
of danger entered the head of the non
com. in charge and he was exchanging
experiences with the driver when sud-
denly trouble appeared. Looking
ahead, up hillside road, was seen
little party of blue-clad figures, grouped
around a Hotchkiss gun. Behind was
another group armed with Springfields.
To the right was a hill that burro
might climb, but four-horse team with
heavy load would make a fizzle at.
To the left the descent was not any
more promising than the ascent on the
right. There was no chance for escape
from friends.
The commanding officer had, upon
the arrival and report of the scared
ranchers, thrown out few little part
les to reconnoiter and operate against
the approaching enemy, as any other
prudent officer would have done. They
escorted the train into camp which
was reached just as the welcome notes
of mess-call were sounded and amidst
the hurry to dispose of an ample din
ner of slum, beans and hardtack it was
forgotten whether the joke was on the
G. o., the ranchers or the sergeant of
the supply train. 1179.

ney to st. Paul. We were soon pulled
out OF the yards and then the old en-
gine hit a forty mile gait. The Dutch

I had to make the best of it. Mile after

faces like hailstones. While we were
speeding around curve sudden
lurch of the engine almost threw
my tonsorial friend from his place,
and upon my mentioning that it was
narrow escape he said he was used
to 'close shaves." But at Randolph

A Friendly
AmbuSCade.


Sioux Indians of North and
South Dakota in restless and
excited condition. Ghost
dances had been held nightly for sever
al months and many of the bands
openly defied all efforts towards the
suppression of their fanaticism. De-
tachments of the 3rd, 7th and 18th
regiments, U. S. Infantry, were
stationed at posts on or near the
Cheyenne River, Indian Reservation,
South Dakota. Big Foot, chief of
that reservation, and one of the
most turbulent of the disaffected ele-
ment was being closely watched. The
main object being to prevent the es-
cape of this chief and his band from
the reserve, as their addition to any
other, with like feelings toward the
government, might result in decided
ly hostile demonstration.
In the early part of December, 1890,
a battalion of the 7th Infantry left
Fort Bennett and went into camp at
the forks of the Cheyenne River. All
army transportation at the fort went
with the party so that when it became
necessary to send supplies to the camp,
civilians and their teams were hired.
A few weeks after the departure of
the 7th, a detachment of one sergeant,
one corporal and ten privates of the
18th Infantry, with two mounted In
dian scouts as guides, was ordered to
accompany a train of ten wagons of
commissaries and forage to the camp
of the 7th. The wagons were of the
ordinary farm type, each drawn by
four horses driven by a civilian
Buffalo coats. muskrat caps and gaunt
let's were worn by the soldiers and the
outfit resembled a military supply
train as little as threshing machine
does an automobile.

Riding on a
COWCatCher.

IN reading the "reminiscences of
"Brick" Pomeroy, a short time ago
1 was greatly interested in his mar
rative of ride he once took on a
"cowcatcher" or pilot of locomotive.
1t recalled to my memory a trip [ made
while touring it, from northern Mis-
souri, to Seattle, Washington.
By "counting the ties" and "beating"
freight and passenger trains l had
managed to reach, along in December,
the beautiful little town of ST. Charles,
in the southern part of Minnesota.
some twenty-five or thirty miles from
Winona, the county seat. St. Charles
is located at the point where the long
rise of bluffs from the Mississippi meets
the rolling prairie. While awaiting an
east bound freight at that little town
met an old buddy" or friend, jolly
Irish lad, always ready for frolic or a
scrimmage. He informed me that
there was to be a dance that evening
at small town several miles distant,
and asked me to accompany him.
AS it would not take me out of my
way accepted his invitation. In a
few moments we heard the rumbling
of the approaching freight and quickly
selected dark spot near the tank, and
while the train came to stop we
steathly entered an empty side door
"palace" car. Soon the wheels began
going click-a-te-click and we quickly
left the outskirts of the town. Faster
and faster went the train and it was
not a great while before we reached
the town where the dance was to be
given. But there was no let up to the
speed and we went past the switch
lights like bum after hot sau
sage.
