FRONTIER SKETCHES

The Boss of the Camp: Lieut..
Casey one of the officers stationed at
old Fort Keogh in Montana and who
was murdered by one of his Indian
scouts near Pine Ridge, was the orig
inator of the idea to solve the Indian
problem by making soldiers out of the
bucks. He organized two troops of
Indian soldiers at Keogh. The
scheme was not successful and was
dropped soon after Casey's death. The
Indians could not be made to under
stand discipline and would not live
in houses. One OF the interesting
stories OF Keogh grew out OF the ex-
perience of a young lieutenant named
Marshall who was assigned to the
command OF one of tie Indian troops.
Marshall came out direct from West
Point The Indian had all the con-
tempt for the tenderfoot that made
life uncomfortable for the easterner
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 IL
not Marshall. and the bucks did moi
regard il as humorous. Junction
Montana, opposite the mouth OF the
Big Horn river. was dead hard then
Marshall camped near it one night
posted his sentries and went TO sleeT
in his tent The Indians secured
some hairtrigger whiskey from juno
tion. filled themselves with it and de
cided TO have some fun with the ten.

THE ROAD GANG OFF
Work On Royal Gorge Road Has Been

Men Without Notifying County Com
missionerS.
from Fridays Daily.


Work has been stopped on the
Royal Gorge road.
The gang of convicts that have
been working on the road has been
pulled off by Warden lyman.
The most surprised man in town
was Mr.. W. H. La Grange this morn
ing when he went up TO the road camp
to see how the work was progressing
Instead of finding the men at work
they were breaking camp. The tents
had been pulled down and all equipt-
ment and supplies were in readiness
to be hauled back to town.
Mr.. La Grange who has had charge
OF the road as county commissioner
says he had no notice from Warden
lyman or anybody that the gang
would be pulled Off He is very in
dignent about the matter and thinks
the warden hasn't treated the coun-
ty fairly.
About three weeks work would have
finished the road and this STOP will
Cañon City record., 1910-10-06

be a great disappointment to Fremont
county people.
Warden lyman is out OF town. He
left for Pueblo at eleven o'clock this
morning in his car, SO no one has
been able to find out his reason or oh
ject for pulling the gang off before
the road was done.
1t Is rumored that the same gang
has been sent to Golden for work on
a road near that point
Only since noon have the people
around town heard any thing about
the matter but the news spread lively
and has created quite a stir. The peo-
pl, have watched the progress of that
road so closely that when it was told
along the streets that the gang had
been pulled off. the keenest disap-
pointment was shown.
A meeting OF many interested in
the road is being talked of to be held
at the court house this afternoon.

| jest they sent a dozen bullets from
their carbines through the officers
tent.
Marshall came out in a hurry, as
they had anticipated but the events
that followed were somewhat un-
expected. Marshall was not large
but he was well knit and athletic. He
had calm, gray eye and a promin-
ent chin, two outward indications the
Indians had not taken into their cal
cuiations. 1t took the officer only
an instant to discover that some OF
his soldiers were drunk but he did
not realize that the entire command
was intoxicated. He directed SER
geant near him to arrest the rioters.
The sergeant's answer was a war
whoop and a drunken rush at the
lieutenant.
A savage blow in the face with
Marshall's fist put the sergeant down.
The Indians were never able to agree
on just what happened after that but
they remembered that Marshall took
the sergeant's carbine by the bar
rel and mingled with them. After he
had worked through his troop the
members OF it that were not down
with broken heads were falling over
one another in their anxiety to sur
render or fleeing through the dark
ness. There was never a doubt az
ter that as to who was the boss oi
