False Alarm That Broke Up the Telo
coset School The Scenes That Met
the Teacher of Early Days.
A few days .ago the remnant of an
old log cabin burned down at Tclo
caset, on the summit of the rlvldlng
range of hills between Grand Rondo
and Powder River valleys.
It was built In 1S77 by the farmers
of the neighborhood and served as a
school house for five or six years.
Before the railroad was built, it
stood In a little wilderness. The old
stage road ran near It, and the vast
herds of cattle rubbed their necks
against the corners and stood In its
shade at noon. The scholars were re
quired to go often and scare away
the cattle, as their fighting for a
chance to stand in the shade inter
rupted the progress of the little
school. The stage drivers shouted at
the top of their voice as they passed
and the freighters often came and sat
by the door and listened to the reci
tals as a diversion from the dreary
plodding through the dust of the pio
neer roads.
The First Teacher.
It was a daring girl who would
take up the task of teaching six to'
ten urchins in this cabin. It was i
built during the perilous times of the!
Bannock and Nez Perce wars. Set-I
tiers had been picked off by the scat
tering squads of marauding Indians,
and stock had been stolen from the
very hills in sight of the school house, j
A fort had been built at Ladd canyon. I
' and dozens of families had left their
I country homes and sought safety in
I Union and Baker City. But there Is

a long white, swelling cloud of alkali
dust miles behind him. He was rid
ing at breakneck speed, whipping his
horse with his hat and naturally, in
those feverish times, the sight of him
was not pleasant. Rushing down to
the door of the cabin, he shouted,
"Indians! Indians!" and dashed on
down the road toward Union, as hur
riedly as he came.
There was a scene In the school
house that beggars description. The
boys and girls were barefooted. The
bonnets and hats were left lying In
the corners, dinners palls were for
gotten, books were dropied and fol
lowing their teacher, half the school
started down the road In the cloud of
dust that still hung over it, and the
other half of them rushed to the hill
side to get the saddle horses, expect
ing the savages to come in sight over
the hilltop every moment.
The horses were mounted, bare-1
back, two and three scholars oe i
horse, and the school teacher, wlth
her party of small scholars was soon,
met by a farmer who hurriedly tookj
them to the safety of their homes.
A False Alarm.
The horseman was Jim Pepper, a
cattleman who had been riding on the
range. He saw a band of cattle rush
ing down a trail toward Powder
River and as the dust was very thick.
he mistook It for Indians. The Ban
nocks were in the hills at the time,
and it was very easy to magnify a!
band of stock at a distance into a
band of Indians. j

She boarded with scholars, and walk

from the school. The smaller schol
ars came on horseback, and the larger
I ones walked with the teacher. Some
scholars lived five to sis miles ills-

One afternoon in August, 1S7S, just
