thought of Bill Denison's being
burned out. 1t was at last decided to
let Sawdy and Pardaloe ride to Den
ison's together to make an official
investigation" They took the Reser-
walton trail and halfway out met
Bob Scott riding into town.
The two adventures halted Bob,
explained their GRAND, and asked
him to join them.
Scott wheeled his horse around,
and the three galloped for Denison's
ranch.
That night, late, Sawdy, Lefever,
McAlpin, Pardaloe, and Ben Page
met.
"Boys," began SAVOY, gravely,
when the doors were carefully shut
and outer approaches examined, it's
just's we figured-dirty work out at
Bills ranch. It was lucky Pardaloe
and I picked up Bob Scott. He's
magic on trailin'. If it hadn't been
for Bob, Pardaloe and med been
scratchin' around Bills place yet.
There wasn't thing to show where
or how the fire started-the job was
too well done. But what couldn't be
covered up was the ground sign in
the yard. Who'd been there last?
Lucky for us, there want many
horses'd been runnin' around the
yard. Bob spotted three; one was
Music, Bills horse-Ben's been rid
in her. The other two were Gun1ock
horses, boys. One that Jane rides
that was fresh track. But there was
older track-of a Gunlock horse"
"Gunlock horse?" echoed Lefever.
In the murky light of the lantern
SAVOY pulled his mustachio DELHI
erately. "A Gunlock horse" he re-
peated. "And it was the sorrel geld
ing that most of you've seen. Bob
knows every horse in the hills by
his hoofs, and as luck would have it,
he himself traded the sorrel to Nc
Crossen about year ago.
''That horse was over to Bills
place maybe thirty-six to forty eight
hours before Scott read the sign.
The man that rode that horse over
to Denison's night before last
knows a lot about who started that
fire. Who rode it?
'That horse, boys, has been rode
by Barney Rebstock since he's roost-
ed over at Gunlock with his old pal,
and boss, Gus Van Tambel. After
Bob fixed on the sorrel, Pardaloe
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1937-03-25

sends him up around by Gunlock to
scout the question, who rides the
sorrel. Then Pardaloe and I rode
straight back to town to send out
Carpy. You see, Bob could appear
up at Gunlock casual-like and ask
questions and nobody would think
anythin' about it. Bob rides in and
out there often.
"Of course, he had to be careful.
But there's two honest men over
there, Bull Page and the Chink. Bob
set down in the kitchen for cup of
coffee-hadn't had no breakfast
and buzzes the Chink. Finally he
comes around to the sorrel he'd
traded in to the ranch, and asks who
rides it now, 'Rebstock,' says the
Chink.
"Then Bob waits for Bull Page.
He asks Bull whether he thinks
there's any chance to get McCrossen
to trade the sorrel back to him.
Finally he asks Bull who's ridin'
the sorrel. Bull says since Barney
Rebstock come back, he asked Nc
Crossen if he could fasten onto the
sorrel and McCrossen said yes"
Sawdy paused again. There was a
general silence.
"That's the story, boys No, hold
on! Barney and Van Tambel left the
ranch at daylight this mornin' for
the pastures, with Barney on the
sorrel!"

asked in general appeal.
"Just like the first and that's
nothin' at ALL" said McAlpin. "Give

I'm alive, there comes Ben Page

Refus Brown
Not Paroled

According to a statement by A. e..
Lindhoim, member of the State Parole
Board, Rufus Brown was not paroled,
as was stated recently.
Brown, who had served portion OF
five year sentence imposed by a
Hennepin County Court, was sem
fenced for the same violation after
prosecution in Federal Court.
According to members OF the State
Board of Parole, it was considered
that under the circumstances it would
be equivalent to two prosecutions on
the same charge, were the sentences
to be allowed to run in full, concur
rently, and in the light OF the good rec
ord OF the prisoner, it was decided to
give him a conditional discharge to
Federal authorities, in order that he
might begin serving sentence i'll Fed
cral Prison.
Brown was taken to Leavenworth

heMess Line

Colored enrollees OF Civilian Con-
servation Corps Camp MP-3 located in
Shiloh National Military Park, Ten
neSsee, have begun the restoration OF
Bloody Pond, so named because its
waters were dyed crimson with the
blood OF wounded and dying men who
crawled 10 il to Stake their thirst dur
ing the fierce fighting of April and 7,
1862, the greatest battle fought up to
that time in the Civil War.
The sod, which has grown over the
area, has been removed and test holes
dug to determine the limits OF the
original pond. 1t is believed that this
wilt easily be determined since it has
been discovered that white clay for
nation existed at the bottom OF the
pond.
The park, which was established in
1894, is slightly more than five and
a half square miles in extent. With
the historic highway; II miles long,
connecting it with Corinth, Missssip-
pi, il constitutes an area which was
vitality important in the military opera
tons in the West:
Following the fall OF Forts Henry
and Donelson, the Confedcrates form
ed new line of defense extending
from Memphis along the railroad to
Chattanooga, and concentrated about
$4,000 troops at Corinth. Meanwhile
General Grant had moved up the Ten
nessee River in an attempt to break
the line and had taken up position
at pittsburg Landing with an army OF
some 10000 men.
On Sunday, April 6, shortly after
daybrcak, the Confederate line struck
the outlying Federal camps and the
struggle ragged until evening in the
woodlands, small farm clearings, and
swampy ravines of the region During
the night, Federal reenforcements ar
rived and on the seventh, they forced
the Confederates to retire TO Corinth.
Federal losses were 1907 killed,
wounded, and missing. The Confed
crate loss was nearly 1000. Many
OF the Confederate soldiers are buried
on the field.
This CCC Camp, made up of colored
veterans, is restoring the area to an
approximation OF its wartime appear
ahce.
Camp MP-3 has been located on this
site in Shiloh National Military Park
for the past two years. Their num-
bers have recently been augmented by
the transfer of number of enrollees
from Corinth, Mississippi, twenty
miles away, on the closing of that
camp.
