. put his men Into danger, the thought
of a . Mexican uprising., against
the few Americans in California,
through fault of hi was nnbear
.' able. . -ivK ; j,.
, On the night of March ninth they
marched down ' Gavilan. Castro's
. army, encamped at Mission San
Juan, did not know of their leaving
- until the following day
Unpursued, up the poppy-gilded,
. lush San Joaquin, past Sutter's
Fort, they marched; while General
.Castro stormed the empty fortress
v on Gavilan. and captured the flag
pole. And. Castro announced by
s proclamation that "the highwaymen
. - under one Captain Fremont have
. been driven into hiding in the tales
'": of the Sacramento.'
'. In AprO the Fremont men were
camped on Peter Lassen's rancho
above Suiters Jrort, en route north
: - to Oregon. American settlers came
and begged for aid. Indians, they
reported, were burning their wheat
fields and driving off their cattle.
Trouble was at the breaking point
between the Mexicans owning Cali
fornia and the Americans who had
dared to nettle there.
.- Kit led a party in revenge against
the Indians. In a fierce battle that
lasted three boars, five villages were
.. burned and one hundred and sev-
4 en ty-five warriors slain.
""We've learned them varmints a
lesson," Kit said to Fremont after
. the battle. "But Capn, there's
' more to these attacks than meets
the eye. These Indians were set
against the Americans by the Mez-
V 1 leans IT r -; -
i Fremont hesitated, . -
- - m think yon are right. Kit .But
what can we do? It is best we get
immediately out or cauxornia.'
-Then they hurried, but destiny
rode faster than the Fremont men.
Now the Fremont men were mov
'.' tng toward Oregon, and everything
they did was reported to General
- . Castro, commander f the military
forces in California, - -
A party of immigrants came
down the trail from Oregon. There
were womenwhite womenin the
party! The delighted explorers en
tertained the weary travelers with
' dancing and a barbecue at Lassen's
rancho. ' But , the ' report reaching
Monterey ran:
-, . "Two hundred armed foreigners
led by the man Fremont are feast
ing at Lassen's ... Having slain
Indians by the score they are now
dancinf. a sort of war-dance. Thev
, - expect reinforcements from Oregon
and will soon fall like bloodthirsty
. beasts apon Monterey I"
. Knowing nothing of these gar
bled reports, Fremont and his men
' crossed the mountains of lower Ore
gon, where two years before they
had nearly met death in ice and
snow. Fremont planned to explore
these mountains and then go home
by way of the Oregon Trail.
On May eighth they were camped
by Klamath Lake in the lonely wilds
of Oregon, They heard the pound
ing of hooves and into the circle. of
firelight rode two exhausted Ameri
cans on foaming horses.
"Fremont! Thank God...
' Fremont poured California
brandy down their pulsing: throats.

"Ride back with us." Fremont
ordered crisply.
Swiftly they rode on the back
trail, Fremont and those he trusted
most; Kit, Godey, Owens and the
sweet-tempered Basil Lai eun esse,
with four of the Delawares. After
twenty-five miles of hard riding
they reached an outlet of Klamath
Lake that would be known ever after
aa Ambuscade Creek. Alone in this
dangerous place - was Lieutenant
Archibald H. Gillespie of the United
States Marine Corps. A miracle,
this meeting in the trackless wilder
ness, often compared with that of
Stanley and Livingstone in Africa.

there and again at Mazatlan, and
asrmin at Monterey.
"You had trouble in California?"
"In a treOed sort of way. They
thought I was a spy. Since you
raised our flag? on Gavilan every
American In California is onder
suspicion. . That act of yours has
brought trouble to a head between
the Mexicans ana Americans.

me from reaching you. I speak
Spanish rather well, but pretended
I could not, and at a ball given in
llobterey in my honor by ex-Governor
Alvarado, I heard them dis
cussing . me with great suspicion.

"Larkin found a horse for me. I

Gillespie scoffed : at their praise
of bis bravery in remaining awne
by the lake.
"I was perfectly safe. Why, only
this morning a party of Klamath In
dians visited me and were most
amiable. Their chief was unusually
rtandsome. 1 gave tnem tobacco and
a knife and they went away.".
Kit looked doubtfuL
But that night in Gillespie's eamp,
for the first time in his mountain
eering life. Kit fell asleep without
setting a guard. With sixteen in
the party. Kit felt safe. All the
men were exhausted from the double
journey and fell asleep early by the
fires.- -.' - .. -
All save Fremont. The young ex
plorer sat long by the lire, its un
easy light playing on tht tarnished
gold of his worn uniform. Over and

the scarlet seals of government. And

Taking the upturn as a hint of
a change for the better in the

Indication of this was seen in the
way trading favorites snapped

U.S. Rubber, Douglas and others

United States which would pull
hardest at the rich prize!
Fremont's thoughts soared like-
name.. But ix. one knew, no one f
has ever known, why be determined .
that night to march back with his
followers into any danger, to face
any reprimand into California. '
And while Fremont made this de
cision that would change history,
and wrapped his blanket about htm
and lay down beside the fire, unseen
eyes watched his movements from
the pine groves of Klamath Lake.
About Fremont, as always, slept his
four Indian guards, and Kit Car
son. Should he awaken them and set '-.
a guard, Fremont wondered wear-
Oy? They alept the soundless sleep
of desperately tired men. .Even Kit,
his tawny hair spread on bis flat
saddle, his rifle gripped between his
knees,, was sleeping like a child.
"It would be a pity .to waken
them," thought Fremont kindly. ;
"We are safe enough."
Kit awakened first before dawn
to the crash of Indian tomahawks
on human skulls.
"Indians I" shouted Kit as he
jerked awake. Instantly the men
about the fire were aroused. Basil
La j eun esse was sleeping on the
other side of the fire and sounds aa
of an axe falling seemed to come
from bis direction.
"What's wrong, Basil?" shouted
Kit again, for nothing could be sees
in the black Oregon night.-
Basil did not answer. A groan
escaped Kit, for he knew what had
happened as only a mountain man
could. Hastily he kicked a bundle
of fir back.. onto the. fire.. Flames ,
leapt and revealed in their hot light
the naked, shining bodies of twenty '
Klamath Indians.
Basil, poor fellow, lay dead, with .
his head split open by a Klamath
tomahawk.
Other groans- echoed . Kit's as
Crane fell back with many arrows
piercing his bright blanket, Kit
knelt, fired, saw a leaping savage
go down, reloaded, fired again.
Against the black forest the nak
ed bodies flashed like demons. Max
well and Owens, -Godey and Kit
fought beside their Delawares to
defend Fremont and Gillespie, The
cap of Kit's rifle broke. Be threw
the useless gun away and shot with
his pistol the bold Klamath chief
who was pouring arrows ever them.
Steppe, the gunsmith, it was who
finally killed the magnificent figure
When the chief fell the Indians re
treated into- the pines where they,
crouched and continued to send their
feathered shafts at the little group
of whites.
Their arrows were tipped with
steel points six inches long, bought
from Hudson Bay traders, and dip
ped in poison. .
"This is the man," said Lieuten
ant Gillespie, pointine; to the dead
chief, who visited me this morning
and was so friendly and accepted my
presents,"
"He returned for the rest of your
possessions," said Fremont,
, One of the Delawares scalped the
Klamath chief. Then every man sat
until daylight with rifles cocked,
protecting living and dead. -
The bodies of the beloved Basil.
Crane, and their dead Delaware
scout they carried on their horses
to a spot tea miles away. As they
had no tools for digging they laid
the three bodies in hollow pine logs :
and sealed the trunks.
"We don't want their scalps deco
rating any Oregon tepee," explained
Carson. . - . -v.-- : .. v

FRATUli -The warm weather
of the last few days makes some
farmers, especially r those who
came recently from the eastern
states; think it Is about time to
sow sprlns oats and barley. This
Is' probably as food a time as
any to set the seed ready and
plow the ground but the final
preparation ot the' seed bed and
the actual sowing: of the train
will probably be more success
ful In securing a large crop if
done a month from now, estab
lished farmers here find. Other
communities may hare better
success it they sow earlier, but
that is the rule for this-community.
