OREGON CITY COURIER, THURSDAY, iffWs, 1913
MIXED JUSTICE
Fine Law Protector and Turn Loose
the Law Violator
Adam Wilkinson has found it does
not do to be a volunteer, that he
should be a regular and draw pay if
he would protect his fireside.
Many people in the south part of
the city have been annoyed by win
dow peepers, and two street hold-ups
have occured within the past month,
so Mr. Wilkinson appointed himself a
policeman and did patrol duty. Satur
day night he watched until midnight
and when he started home he fired
his revolver in the air to frighten
away any prowlers that might be
around.
And immediately the regulars fell
' upon him, three in number, Long,
Surfus and Wyman and he was plac
ed under arrest.
Monday morning he was fined $5
for his volunteer work, and at the
same time Clifford Anderson, a
stranger, who followed a lady of 'the
city until she was obliged to run into
the ice house for protection, was re
leased on suspended sentence.
The man who offended and followed
the lady for several blocks was re
leased. The man who did free police
duty to protect the lady was arrested
and fined, and given a leature story
in both city and .Portland dailies.

In south central Tennessee the Fed
eral army of the Cumberland, led by
General W. S. Rosecrans, was slowly
forging Its way towards the Tennessee
river about Chattouooga. The oppos
ing army under General Itraxton
Brugg was lodged in Chattanooga,
prepared to dispute the crossing of
the Tennessee and the transfer of hos
tilities to the soil of Georgia, an event
certain to follow upon the Federal cap
ture of the city.
Along the Rappahannock.
On Aug. 1 sabers were crossed in an
uffalr of cavalry at the crossings of the
Rappahannock west of Fredericksburg.
The Confederate horsemen at the Rap
pahannock crossings constituted a de
tachment of the rearguard of General
R. E. Lee's army, which for two weeks
bad been retreating from the Potomac
to the south bank of the Rappahan
nock, there to recover from the blows
Just received at Gettysburg. The pur

the Army of the Potomac hud becu

Gettysburg. Its commander, General
George G. Meade, three days after tak

a narrow margin a -battle which had
been forced upon him under condltious
not of bis own choosing, he felt the ne

and leaders of his command might be
made before another campaign opened.
The Federal cavalry on the Ruppa

Cavalry Afloat.
General Meade had seut forward to
the river strong detachments of in
fantry to co-operate with the cavalry
in laying pontoon bridges at Kelly's
ford and Rappahannock station. This
work was preliminary to the construc
tion of a railroad ulldge at Rappahan
nock station. The latter would extend
rail communication from Washington
to the south bunk of the river, where
Meade expected to bring Lee to battle.
Lee had stationed two brigades of
General J. E. B. Stuart's cavalry at
the crossings Involved. Practically
Stuart was guarding on the south side
the points which the Federals from
the north side wanted to seize.
Buford hud been ordered to cross at
Kelly's ford, where n pontoon bridge
was to be thrown over under the guard
of Infantry belonging to General H. W.
Slocuni's Twelfth corps.
Buford supposed thut this temporary
bridge was to be laid at Ruppahannock
station, and ho was to cross over It,
march down the south bank und clear
It of Confederates who might interfere
with the work on the permanent struc
ture. The river had risen three feet
overnight. Crossing by fords or swim
ming horses was impossible, and Bu
ford borrowed enough pontoon boats
from the engineers to ferry across
eighty men. This was done by poles
at Beverly ford.
With the help of engineers brought i

staff, a pontoon bridge was laid while
the eighty troopers on the south bunk
stood off the Confederate sharpshoot
ers. By 11a. ni. one brigade of caval
ry hud crossed the bridge. This was a
signal for the Infantry to follow up
und establish a line south of the river.
In another hour Buford hud two
mounted brlgndos on the south bank.
"Can't Fight So Many."
When news of the Federal activities
ut the crossings reached headquarters
Stuart sent Hampton's and Jones' brl
gndos toward Rappahuunock stntlon
and followed In person. About noon
Buford begun to penetrate the wooded
region beyond the crossings. He met
Confederate troopers, who fell back
without making strong opposition. At
the end of nn hour Buford began to
capture infantry prisoners and knew
that he was being led Into a trap.
The prisoners taken by the cavalry
belonged to the division of General W.
D. Pender, the force which Buford hnd
encountered at the opening of the bat

Culpeper Court House, not far away.
Buford, his men well In hand, forged
ahead. The further he went the stltfer
the opposition became. YVurnlng shots
hud been Bred at the river early in the
morning, and Hill hud moved forward
with 5,000 Infantry and three batteries.
Stuart didn't stand to accept fight, but
fell buck behind the Infantry.
When Stuart's troopers retired be
fore the Federul udvance they took to
the rear all the white citizens and tuo
negroes. The object was to prevent
Buford from picking up valuable news.
But he learned that Hill was at Cul
peper and Lee at Gordonsville. a day's
march further on. One of Buford's
dispatches said that he hud been "driv
ing the enemy all day," but they were
growing in numbers. "I can't fight so
many," he reported.
Finally orders reached Buford to fall

to the Infantry to hold w.hut had been
gained. Lee moved all his force to
the river bank within two days.
Hostile Sioux Dispersed.'
In July fifty years ago Minnesota
war volunteers took the field to punish
a tribe of the Sioux who were pillaging
and murdering hi their state. One
year previous the Indians had commit'
ted massacres In Minnesota settle'
ments, but In 1803 their outrages took
the form of occasional murders of Iso
lated bands.
The savages cuuie over from Dakota
by stealing past the frontier guards in
small companies. They approached
within a few miles of St. Paul. As
the great body of Sioux were in Duko
tu, Generul II. H. Sibley, who was in
Immediate command in the northwest,
decided to cross the border and expel
them from his district. The expedi
tionary force comprised the First Min
nesota cavalry and the Sixth, Seventh
and Tenth Infantry volunteers, with
the Third Minnesota battery.
The hostlles In the field numbered
about 2,000, Their movements were
believed, to lie instigated by emissaries
In Cunndu who wunted to make trou
ble for the T'i:Ited States. The Indians
were led by a son of Chief Little Crow,
a troublesome hostile who hud recent
ly mot his dentil nt the hands of a
white settler on Minnesota soil.
A cavalry column led by General
Alfred Sully, nn experienced Indian
fighter, set out from Sioux City to
march up the Missouri river. By rap
Id movements this body might got in
the rear of the -Indiana while Sibley
pressed them In front.
Indian Treachery.
Sibley's column overtook the sav
ages the last week In July at Big
Mound, Dak. A parley wns offered, to
which the Indians assented. As soon
ns the whites entered the enmp their
spokesman was shot dead, and Sibley
sent forward n battalion of cavalry
with two companies of the Seventh
regiment.
The Sioux were soon driven from the
hill by the superior weapons of the
Mlnnesotuns. Two days later the ex
pedition wns encamped ten miles far
ther on. nt Dead Buffalo lake. Late In
the day a bund of mounted Sioux dash
ed up the grazing camp to cut Moose
the animals. They were met and put
to light by a charge of Sibley's cavulry.
After this failure the savages circled
the camp looking for a weak point to
attack, but finally retired without o
