h Indians had set fire to the
sage brush to wipe out the shelter
and keep the troops from getting
water at the creek. The beleaguer-
ed troops were shut off from the
outside world. Then joe Rankin
a Rawlins man, made his lannon's
run. That run makes the exploits
OF Buffalo Bill and William Hart
LOOK like the progress OF an insect
on fly paper. Under cover of the
screen of burning sage brush
o Rankin threaded his way thru
the whitening fire of savage foes,
reached the open. and carried the
news to Rawlins on loot making the
unparalleled record OF one hundred
and sixty miles in "twenty-eight

the early morning Of the fourth day
after the death Of Thornburk Capt.
Dodge with q company Of colored
cavalry reached the beleagured
camp after making the last 50

These deeds remain unsung. But

scene Of the trouble in record time.
There was no more fighting because
the government feared the Indians

the Indians left the war path, and
the story became a tale of the
frontier.
l hasten to add that when Mrs.
Meeker and Josephene we're brought
back to Greeley the whole town
turned out to do them honor. Both
received a pension. Mrs. Meeker
lived long, respected by every one.
.Josephene Meeker went to Washing

consumption. Subjected as these
ladies were to every indignity
against which womanhood revolts
the artflcialties Of modern life did
not weigh a grain against those
truer and deeper istincts of the
human heart which awarded them
during their lives affection, honor
and respect. The fact must also be
recorded, throwing light as it does
upon the strange complexity Of emo
ton. that other men and women
found IT hard to forgive Mrs. Meek
er and her daughter for the many
tales the told OF acts OF kindness
rendered them during their cap
by Indians OF both sexes.
These facts have been taken from
records including the
pamphlet put out by the Denver
Tribune and Boyd's History Of
