was again taken up and continued

keep the little command from being

Into the. marsh which traversed the

three more of the troopers. The liv'

and carried them on, to save them
from mutilation.
High ground was reached at last.
Then there came a hurried count.
and one trooper was reported miss
ing. From over the marsh grasses
came the sound OF sharp firing. 1t
seemed to be concentrated in one
spot, and then the command knew
that the missing trooper had lost his
mount and was seeking to make his
way out Of the morass, while the
savages were trying to cut him of.
Lieut. Parnell asked his command
ing officer for a few men to follow
him back to the rescue of their COM
rade. Into the tule swamp rode the
lieutenant and his score of followers.
They were going straight into deaths

hillside and down into the marsh they
poured their lead. A
on, to the left, Parnell knew, was
the trooper for whom he was in
search, for occasionally there came
the sound Of single report and the
sight of the smoke of black powder.
Toward the point the lieutenant
pushed with his men. while the bullets
dropped about them and every few
steps claimed a victim.
On through the grasses, firing as
they went in the effort to keep down
the force OF the red fusillade, went
the troopers. They reached their lost
comrade finally, but OF the twenty
rescuers only fourteen were left.
The Nez Perces had killed the strayed
soldiers horse. and they were rapidly
closing in on him when help came.
Back through the swamp rode Par

marks for bullets, and the hail OF
them did not cease, but while the
storm was beating the troopers picked
up their dead and retreated figh.ing
Lieut.. Parnell that day was not hit.
His wounds came in another action
later. What saved him no one can
say, for he led his men and was the
mark most conspicuous.
The troop finally found place OF

8the mountains of the Northwest, when
Joseph fought them fair a dozen
ttImes, outwitted them on occasion,
and at last succrmbed to the inevi'
table only when superior weapons and
superior numbers we're too much for
generalship.
In the Nez Perces campaign there
were actions which deserve place
in history, but they have no such
place. and knowledge of them exists
only In the memories of the veterans
]. who fought the reds in the Businesses
or Idaho and who risked their lives
for the protection Of the frontier,
thinking and caring little about fame.
Records OF ordinary battles show
that In the total losses the proportion
OF killed to wounded is about one man
In 1--WE. In some OF Nez Perces fights
the ordinary proportion stood at odds
with itself. and in some cases there
was no question of proportion at all,
for the casualty list held no names
but those of the dead.
Chief Joseph knew that man for
man his followers were no match for
,ae better trained and better armed
white soldiers. In order to infict all
possible loss upon the white enemy
with least possibility OF severe loss
.ts bis own band, he attacked isolated
troops when the opportunity came,
and the record of the fights was red.
