When Wilderness Was King

and before I knew it. the maddened savage was within
the guard OF my riebarrel and we were locked in the
stern grapple Of death
1t was knife to knife our blades cleaning dull in
the dim light Of the stars, each gripping the uD-
lifted wrist OF the other putting forth each last rye
Of strength each cunning trick OF fence to break free
and strike the ending blow Back and forth we strove
straining like two wild animals, our mocCasned feet
slipping on the wet earth our muscles strained, and
slnews cracking with intensity of effort our breath
coming in labored gasPs, our bodies tense as bow
strings. Such merCess strain could not endure for
ever and, strong as | was in those young days the
savage was far stronger and less exhausted by the
struggle so that inch by inch he pressed me backward
battling like demon, until [ could see the cruel CLEAN

the slightest sound reached me for guild
anCe Beyond this, l had no time for
much save action. Above me, upon the
high bank not three yards away, | saw
several Indian forms peering over; and
then others, three or four, | am uncertain
which, sprang lightly down within yard
of where l Crou Ched in waiting.
My father gave me frontier maxim
once, which ran, ''If you must fight,
strike first, and strike hard" The words
flashed in my memory, and / put them to
the test straightway. These prowling
savages were apparently unaware OF my
prediclment; their sole thought was with
the boat floating away lakeward down the
stream. At all cost, they must be blocked
in any purpose Of pursuit These were the
thoughts that darted through my brain
like fire through stubble How many
opposed me, how desperate would be the
struggle, were matters of which | did not
stop to think | could at least busy them
until the fugitives were safe; after that it
was Gods affair, and theirs Ny rifle
was wet and useless from my recent tum-
bic; but before the group at the waters
edge even saw me was fairly upon them,
striking fercely with my gunstock, and
two savages went down, shrieking from
pain and surprise, before so much as
return blow reached me.
It was not a noisy battle; from the
outset it was too fierce and rapid for any
waste Of breath. Never did | need my
strength Of body more, nor did the long
training of my father come in better play.
| made that long rifle barrel both club
and sword, knife and axe in one, striking,
thrusting, clubbing, in the mad fury with
which desperation bids a man battle for
his life. I had no thought to live, but
was determined that if l went down to
earth many painted savage should lie
there with me The cnshrouding darkness
proved friendly help; for as l backed
in closer against the bank, l gained a fair
view Of my opponents, while keeping my
self more hidden. Again and again they
charged upon me, joined now by the others
from above; but the Circling iron [ swung
with tireless arms formed a dead-line; no
Ieaping Indian burst through alive.
Once a hurting tomahawk half buried
itself in my shoulder; long knife, thrown b
hand, pierced the muscles of my thigh, anC
quivering, till struck it loose; and twice

hops for escape lay lakeward l ran but
fccbly at first, skirting the partially de-
stroyed stoCkade Of the old Fort, with its
litter Of debris, and stumbling constantly
in the darkness over the Instructions that
lined the river bank. As my breath re-
turned, and [ somewhat cleared my eyes
Of blood, l saw better; and at last ran
from the darker soil on to the white sand
OF the beach
There were now many stars in the sky,
with the moon struggling feebly to break
through the haze; but to my anxious
glance nothing was visible upon the water.
Surely the boat must have floated to the
river-mouth by this time - surely the
force of the current would have accom-
plished that; nor was it likely tina, OF
Burns would draw far away from shore
until assured Of my fate. The wild shout
ing told me that savages from the camp
had already found their dead 4 moment
more would place them on my trail, hot for
revenge; and there was no course left me
but to take the water, before their keen eyes
found me out. [ waded out, seeking thus
to get farenough from shore to battle their
search, when suddenly a quick spark of
light winked from the blaCkness in front of
me. Surely it could be nothing less than
a signal, the swift stroke Of flint on steel -
no doubt in the faint hope it would prove
a beacon to me in my need.
Desperate as the chance was, it was
still chance, and to my mind the only
one. I glanced behind; a dim figure or
two dotted the white sand, and my heart
lifted a silent prayer to God for guidance
A second later l was beyond my depth,
breasting the unknown waters, swimming
steadily toward the place where that
mysterious spark had glimmered Once
again it flashed, the barest glimpse Of light
through the intense gloom; and pressed
on with new vigor, certain now it was
real beacon. But [ was so weakened by
wounds and spent from exertion, and such
desperate work is swimming fully clad,
that my progress proved slow; and twice

on my back, in the buifeting OF the waves,

struggle. | almost lost heart in the black

HEARS ARGUMENTS upon
SUIT FOR LAWYERS FEES
Judge Seawell Takes Gas
Company Case Under
Amusement

Judge Seawell heard arguments yes
terday in the case of Cunningham
against the San Francisco Gas and
Electric Company, involving the claim
OF Attorney James T. Boyd for $780,
for legal services rendered the COM
pany by the firm of Boyd & Fiheld
The attorneys were employed in Au-
gust 1890, to examine into the title of
certain properties contracted TO be pur-
chased and other properties desired TO
be purchased by the old San Francisco
Gas Light Company. According TO
Boyd g. Fiheld, they acted for the old
company and the new company, the
period Of service covering about four
teen years.
The reason for the disagreement with
the company was not disclosed, but is
supposed to rest upon the fact that the
gas cbmpany considered that payments
made 10 the law firm, aggregating
$6250, covered all services rendered
The plaintiff called a number Of promi-
nent attorneys to testify to the reason
able value of the services claimed TO
have been rendered, and their respec-
tive estimates varied from $4,000 to
s35,OOO The company did not contro-
vert the testimony by producing ex-
perts in its own behalf, but it's attor-
neys considered that the witnesses pro-
duce6 by the plaintiff had failed to
make any case against the gas COM
pany; the failure. according to the ar
gument OF the attorneys. being based
upon the fact that the long hypothetical
question put to the legal experts did
not agree with the facts proved by the
plaintif-in other words. that the hy-
pothetical question was misleading
upon a most important point
The argument on behalf OF the gas
company was made by Timothy J.
Lyons for Garret w. McEnerney, the
general counsel for the company, and
by w. S. Burnett. McGraw argued
for the plaintiff.
The company's argument was that,
according 10 the receipts of Boyd &
Fifeld, the most important part of the
alleged services rendered by them had
been settled for on a basis OF $4,000;
and that as TO the balance OF the SER
vices $275O had been paid on account.
Judge Seawen took the matter under
advisement.

FALLEN TREE BLOCKS
TWO FUNERAL TRAINS
Cars Held Up for Several
Hours on the San
Mateo Line

fallen tree held up traffic on the
cemetery and San Mateo car lines yes
terday for good part Of the day. A
short distance beyond Ocean View a
tree had been cut and in falling IL
dragged the trolley wires with #. Two
funeral trains were delayed for several
hours. San Mateo cars were stalled
and the rain added 10 the discomfort
of the situation.
After wait of several hours the
United Railroads dispatched a repair
car to the scene. After the tree had
been dragged away the work OF re-
stringing the wires was begun. II was
well along in the afternoon when the
road was opened again. In the mean
time a long line OF cars had reached
the blockade.
