Baldwin went to the teamsters and SAID

mule drivers, mules and wagons had been ordered
to participate as an offensive part of cavalry

in the fun of the thing. They told the lieutenant
that with good cussng," and with good flashing,
they could lead the cavalry mile.

The horsemen rode up in line with the four

and the line swept across the plain with the
mules on a keen jump with black snake whips

Frank D. Baldwin has been in so many fights
for his country that the counting of them as
sumes the proportion of mathematical problem.
For years upon years after the civil war in which
he distinguished himself time and again. he fought
nearly every form of Indian that the plains Of
the United States has produced There was one
fight in which Baldwin was engaged which de-
serves place in song and story if some song
or story writer could be found equal to the oc-
easiOn In the days of the campaign of which
this fight was feature there was only one bar
on BaldWins shoulder for he was junior first
lieutenant of infantry. The campaign was long
one and the fights followed fast and followed
faster.
While on detached service in Newport, KY, in
June 1874 Baldwin heard that his regiment was
to be ordered under Col. Nelson A. Miles. TO make
an expedition into the Indian territory. The lieu
tenant went to the front as fast as train and
horse could carry him. When he reported for
duty Miles who knew Baldwns record in the
civil war put him in command Of the
scouts of the expedition, a command that
was composed partly of whites and partly
OF Indians.
With his scouts back of him Eieut Baldwin
had dozen engagements one after another,
with the confederated bands of Cheyennes, Kio-
was Arapahoes and the southern Comanches.
The one fight however, which for picturesque
ness stands out most prominently in the battle
list, did not take place until after Baldwin had
been in the field for many months 1t was the
fight of his life not in the engagements size nor
yet perhaps. in its Importance, but in
what an officer who saw 1t declares
10 have been Its howingly funny fea-
lures
1t picturesque and it was funny all right,
but ii was dangerous as WE'LL and Baldwin lost
some of his men, and took his own life in his
hands 20 times before he won his splendid victory
against tremendous odds. The daring of the
thing was recognized by Col Miles, by the gen.
eral commanding the department, and by the
conpress of the United States which gave Bald
win his second medal of honor for his work ON
that day.

brought about by his love for Miss
Catherine Cartwright, the beautiful
heiress to million dollar estate in

might be recognized and torn from
her arms, should he marry her. he de-
cided TO confess to her that he was
