MARSHALL WAS BOSS.
a story of Fort KeOGh Recalled by

story of Fort KeOEh Recalled by
It's Abandonment.
one OF the interesting stories of
Fort keogh, in Montana, soon to be
abandoned by the army, grew ont of
the experience of a young lieutenant
named Marshall. who was assigned to
the command Of one Of tho Indian
toops. Marshall came to Kaoeh
fresh from West Point. The Indian
had all the contempt for the tender
foot that made life hard for the East
erner In those days.
When Marshall left the post with
his Indians for a two weeks practice
march the older officers expected a
good story when he returned. They
got the story, but the Indians told It.
not Marshall, and they did not regard
1t as humorous.
Junction, Mont, opposite the mouth
of the Big Horn river, was dead hard
then. Marshall camped near it one
night, posted his sentries and went TO
sleep in his tent.
The Indians secured some halrtrig-
ger whisky from Junction, filed
themselves with it and decided to
have some fun with tho tenderfoot
lieutenant As a preliminary jest they
sent 4 dozen bullets from their car
bines through the officers tent.
Marshall came out in q hurry. as
they had expected. but the events that
followed were somewhat unexpected.
Marshall was not large, but he was
we'll knit and athletic. He had a calm
gray eye and a prominent chin, two
outward indications the Indians had
not taken into their calculations.
1t took the officer only al instant to
discover that some Of his soldiers were
drunk, but he did not realize that the
entire command was intoxicated He
directed q sergeant near him to arrest
the rioters The sergcant's answer

a savage blow in the face with Mar
shalPs rst put the sergeant davn.
Tie Indians were never able to agree
on Just what happened after that, but
they remembered that Marshall took
the sergeant's carbins by the barrel
and mingled with them.
After he had worked through his
troop the members of ii that were not
down with broken heads were falling
over one another in their anxiety to
surrender or fleeing through the dark,
ness. There was never a doubt after
that IS to who was boss Of Marshar's
troop, and when he returned to Keogh
with his Indians they were so thor.
oughly under control that they would
come and est out Of his hand. as one
of the old-timers put 1t.

dent Fairbanks has determined 10 HE
himself away to his farm In Illinois
TO take some strenuous exercise before
entering upon the series or confer.
ences which has been arranged for In
this city with political managers from
indianapolis and other states. He will
60 TO Illinois this week and will spend
three or four weeks on his farm, do,
ing manual labor himself In order to
get the physical exercise which he
says is necessary after his protracted
stay In Washington. Discussing his
work the vice president said that he
expects II will go pretty hard with
him for while, especially as he had
taken little or no exercise since last
year. but he is determined to put his
hand TO the plough, 80 to speak, and
not look back till he has secured the
glow OF health that he believes is to
be found In farm work. The vice pres
ident has recently added three valu.
able Jerseys to HIS Illinois herd and
proposes TO turn his back on coffee
and tea and indulge in his fondness for
milk to the limit during his vacation.
He will bo absent three or four weeks
and when he returns here there will
be something doing In political way,
