Ten Years' Trial! ; ' By Gn. CHARLES SCINQ I Continued r.om fli-tl ftw, ing of tns peppery little uiur, ft rctcr au of tns civil war, and of lJUigdon, - who, though la clTillan dress, bad bwn "ipoi"iwl"roril "o(illtr" eV1- KTufe tbey got to Gunnison. Ball cartridges bad been Usued to Captaip IJiikcnfel- ' tier's men as they stood lu tb di-pot at jlUsourt Junction awaiting the coining J of a train buarlug two companies from the south, and tbeu rautu ft funuy i tblug. Llnkenfeldcr could bave snown tbem all about "loading In nine times," a tbey did lu the war days, but tbla 1 was a new company. He was an old 'utScer, sml tbe manual, minus the load ings and tiring, waa all be had yet taught tbem of the uew breechloader when cauie tbe call to arms. Mr. Cliaa lilug, impatiently pacing the platform and reading dUpatcb after dlnpatcn faud occaHlmuilly dictating au answer ' to bla new aud silent secretary, pres ently saw that I-angdon' attention was wandering and looked at blia In quiringly. - '"Those men bave never been taught h load anO lire," said Langdon, "and their captain doesn't know bow. There Will be trouble if they get Into ft snarl with rioters." ' "Then, for Cod's sake, yon show tbein! Here, faptiiln I.ltikciifelder," be cotitlnui-d liiipcliiounly, "my felend ts-ft West li. hit nlllivr. Let bliu iM'lp you there." l.liikeiifcldor knew Clui li ning well, tin wliii along the line did not? He wlHl bla brow and tried to look pleawd ns he explained that tbey hadn't been drilling long. Hut In five minutes Lnninloii bad the eisrlit non omniUMluiied oKlocrs present lu ft sqUad, tbe rent of the company eagerly surrounding and looking ou. In ) minutes they hud "got the hung" of JYom that port (inn ha nvant to gtv tht trord. the most important pnrt. ' In an bour, 'when the other train came sweeping In, be bad the whole company lu line practicing "tire by company," "fire by rank," "tire by tile," and never In dos en drills bad tbe Junction Light guard learued as uiucb as they bad that day. That fellow's ft dandy drlllmaster," was the verdict, and tbo fame of tbe exploit and the prulso of this unknown soldier bnd gone through tbe train be fore ever It reached the bridge. Next morning When Company U waa told off for ft possibly hazardous piece of ' duty and Its captain was found to be stilt In arrest aud "sulking In bis tent" a committee went to tbo peppery little major with the gray mustache and blinking eyes, tiet as might have been expected, to ask , "cap's release." but to aay that 'tbe boys wanted ft man wbo was Way up In tbe 'bis' If there was any fighting to be done and could not that West 1'olnt fellow take com mand?" "Will you do Itr asked the little major of Langdon. "Will yon do It V. echoed Chnnnlog. and away went Erie across maxe of tracks. 70 strap ping young fellow striding confident ly after hi in, rejoicing In tbe ring and power of bis word of command. An bour later tbey stood confronting fu rious mob ten times their number, hurl lug bricks and . billingsgate and foul abuse. At tbe point of tbe bayonet they bnd cleared tbe Big Horn shops of strikers, driven them Into the open yards and the street beyond and open ed passage for ft train of cattle cars. But by this time, noting that most of Melville's forces were afar up the tracks rescuing cattle trains, from ev ery direction tramps, toughs and the desperadoea among tbe strikers drop ped tbe devilment tbey happened to tie engaged In and came bowling to re-enforce tbe expelled gang. Only 20 yards away, just outside and along tbe picket fence, tbey crowded, clamoring, curs ing, brandishing wen pons and burling missiles, but these latter, harng to be burled high, generally fell short Many among Langdon' new command were lads whose "nerve" would long alure bave fled but for their leader's placid unconcern. He had backed them, as It were, up against the brown wooden walls of tbe tretgbthouse and then atood coolly forth ten feet In front of tbem, facing the raging throng with out, sometime quietly smiling aa though be enjoyed the situation, some time slowly pacing up and down. At last as the clamor Increased It became evident that the mob waa bent on ft dash at the office building to tbelr right standing alone opposite the great wooden gntes gates which gave di rectly on the buildings containing the roost valuable local properties of the Big Horn road, excepting possibly tbe locomotives In tbe roundhouse. It wss ft moment of excitement No man In the little band of defenders could estimate tbe extent of damage that would unquestionably result If that maddened throng broke through. It seemed as though by this tlras all the devilment of tbe disaffected was concentrated here at one spot, for tbe mob was vastly Increased In slxe, and tbe Jeers, bowls and curses were now continuous. Small wonder that many young atate "guardsman" In tbe lit tle command felt ft nervous thrill at be gated at tbe boat of semlsavage faces peering In between tbe brown slats and listened to tbe hideous threats of the leaders. "We'll nave yonr hearts' blood, you liveried dogs!" "Wt'U I'nrn you tin soldiers ft lesson!" "Bum down j tbe fencer "Kill tbe murdering t 2: v a7 nooadar "Cut tbelr throats!" were ex purgated sample! of tb yells. Cut still tho romoaoT atood at ordered arum and "at ," for Lsngdou continued bit tool promenade along loe front, calmly eying tba bowling inob, keeping wary wati'li upon tbo fence and gate, but ever and auon gUuclng up the yanla in search uf support or re-euforev incur, for, to all outward appearance the cool est, uiont unconcerned pernou ou I lie ground, bla beart waa lilted with grave anxiety. Ill waa by loug odds tba most critical poult ion of auy man, mil dler or clvlllau, that day In all Ne-brnnka. For, now that he bad time to face tbo facts aDd conitlder the position In all Ita bearings, be realized that be liail no authority whatever in law or faet to enable him to discbarge tbe grave duties of hi iwsltion not so much as a commission lu the state troops, not even ft warrant a ft deputy slier!!?. If ths mob charged aud to defend tbo lives of these men be was compelled to order them to lire, an Indictment for murder would doubtless lie at bia door. It Is one thing to do ft man's whole duty with the law behind blm; It is an other to stand and face a thousand vot er and realize that every drop of blood that might be shed en either side would. In tbe event of success or failure, be charged up to lilui. And still be never seemed disturbed. ? But Langdon's heart beat quick when, Just as It seemed probable that, neck or nothing, be should have to face the sit uation and fight, be caught sight of Channlng with tbe sheriff and a brace of deputies coming toward blm on tbe run. The crowd having concentrated here. It was possible for tbe officials now to leave other threatened points. He strolled, a It were, with almost ex aggerated quiet to tbe right flunk of hie men to meet them. The mob re doubled Its screams of defiance. "Major Melville wants to know how you're getting along," panted Chauuing as he hastened up, red faced, anxious, but plucky. "Well, yon see for yourself," said Eric, witb a nod of his head toward the fence. "Those fellows mean to burst through In a minute or two." "Can't you scare 'cm? Flro ft volley over their heads?" puffed the sheriff, eager and witling, but utterly Inexperi enced. " "Tbat'a murder," was the cool reply. "A mob gain tenfold in daring and devilment when It sees you're afraid to Are anything but blanks. You'll sim ply bave to kill 60 then where five would bave sufficed in tbe first place. No, sir. Bull cartridges- or nothing. And here's snother point I'm not an officer either of the, troops or of the law." And now Eric had to raise his voice above tbe outer clamor. "I ran give the necessary commands and at tbe proper Instant, aud I can drive those howlers back In one volley If tbey attempt to force the gates, but yon, Mr. Sheriff, must stand by my side and assume responsibility; otherwise a week from now you'll be around with a warrant for my arrest." "My Ood, 1 can't!" said tbe civil offi cial, wiping tbe sweat from hi brow despite the cold wind from the west ward prairie. , He gazed almost fear fully along that surging fence line. It resembled by this time nothing so much s ono continuous cage of snarl ing, roaring beasts. It waa plain the poor fellow was losing bia nerve. "Ms and my family couldn't live in this community another week. Can't you say something to them, Mr. Channlng?" Like many another civil official, the sheriff was realizing tbat It was quite one thing to tackle a lot of tramps, friendless and desperate as they were down at Bridge Biding; It was quite an other to think of lotting drive a deadly volley Into the breasts of a mob that might contain friends and follow citi zen, and tbat would be sure to turn to In retaliation and possibly murder his own beloved ones. Small wonder tbe sheriff hesitated! "Too late to talk!" shouted Chan nlng Impatiently. "Upsides, there Isn't one sane railroad man In 20 In thnt lot They're toughs from every town along tbe Big Muddy, and. by heaven, they'll sack these yards before the regulars can get here unless you ran stop It, Langdon! That Infernal Seattle train ought to have been In long ago, but It may get here Inside of au hour, and their general manager's Just behind 'em on a special What eon you do?" And Channlng set bis stern jaw and glared at the crowd, tight, almost fury. In bis blazing eyes, then turned back to Langdon. Before the latter could an swer there came a scrijini froiirThe sheriff. I "Look! Sledge hammers, by heav en!" be cried, pointing to the cite, al ready shaken by the furious heaving of the throng. "Then there'a only one thing to do." answered Langdon. his face very pale, but bis eyes a tin me. "Out of the way. please, Mr. Sheriff." And, thus dismiss ing and '!hf)iorlii of that now useless functionary, he stepped quickly back to the front of bis men. Even In that supreme moment be waa counting the chances of every move. He had faced rioters before and knew how vital It wa that every movement of tbe troop should lie niHcblni'Hke and precise. "Llsteu to me carefully, now. men." He spoke In bis clear, animated tone, every word cutting through the clamor so as to be distinctly heard by these bis young soldiers standing grave fac ed and aome of them. It was evident quivering before him. while, on the other band, at bla back and beyond the fence the uproar among the rioters made his voice tnaiidlhle. "I shall face yon to the right, march opposite the gate, then face you to tbe front again.. Now, watch me well. I sball go to the gates, say a few words to those fellows, theu step back and order you to load, and tbat means load wltb cartridge. Obey coolly. Take yonr time, but keep your hammers down at half cork and duu't let a finger touch the trigger! (Julctly now." he added. Then, according to the tactics of the day, Lansdun gave the order to carry arms, paused to see It thoroughly un derstood, then "Hlght face.t which wss done to ft man without a.. Haw; then Forward, march" at which, to tbe ac companiment of redonhled yells and some few half bricks tbat came hur tling over the fence.' but fell short, tbe company moved off. - "Short step In front." be wrnied tbe gutatc, so tbat his men should not become spread out or, like novices, trip over one another's heels. - And so In very commendable order ami In another moment he had his men oplxwite trie point of danger. Tben rang out the order, "Company, bait!" tacvu theiu to tuv front 'one more, and there tbey stood at carry arms, si:eit awed, but utterly subordi nate, and. dtkplt the fury of abuse and deiiunciiulou liti h grovted their move, looking mruivht into the faces of the TUK'Ug inuii. but M lih both ears atteut and oi:e eye mi their cool headed rvminur.ilei-. lit- Kinllod at them ft mo ment. "Why. y'U fellows are ateady ruouub for veterans." be said. And, with li' own heart thumping fust, ho placidly t:..-:id aiMlil und ;Wltl OUO culm gl:n:e lit the Kiiring sceiio bo fore blm and purpowly leaving his lucu at the curry be will! ol uk-tly for wiird.

In spite of themselves the cursing rlnglender. the branny wielder of sledge and crow, dropix-d blasphemy aud bars to listen.' Tbey saw he bail something to say, aud curiosity prevailed. Tbut white faced, gray eyed "cusa" bad nerve and grit certainly and seemed profoundly unmoved by their uproar. Whut they beard was not to their lik ing, but bear It they bad to. for be lift ed up bis voice so tbut It reached some hundred ears, and yet hi wordj were as calm, deliberate, pasxtonlcss, as be himself might prove merciless. He sNike as though It were a matter of utter Indifference to blm whether tbey burst through and "got It" or staid without and were spared. "You seem lient on breaking In," the clear tones rang out over tbo murmur aud mutter clove at band tbo tumult at the distance. "Now. understand If these gates fly open, the Instant you attempt to enter yon get a volley In the facer Tbeu slowly, calmly, placidly as bo fore, be turned about, walked bnck half way, only ten steps or, so, oml there, first glnnclng along his waiting line to liiHine its rendlneo nnd close at tention. In clear, sharp, commanding tone, with a ill-lmt pit tine after every word, so that even the mob could hear, gave the order: ."With boll cartridges-load r Teu seconds more, and the silent 70 stood .

That was n memorable day In rail way circles till over the weet. but es pecially so In NchniKka. What made It more remarkable whs that, with the going down of the sun, the Big Horn road was practically lu running order again, while the Seattle. Its powerful rival of the past, wa still blockaded. Traversing as tbey did for 20 miles the same territory, the line divided only by the narrow gorge of the Bed Water, It waa strange to mark tbe bustle and life along the north bank the lights, head and tail, of passenger, freight aud cattle trains hurrying away eastward and by contrast to noto the silence on tbe hither, shore. All day long tbe "booming" western city, the railway center of tbe populous section, had been thronged with people over nnd above It postoffice list first, tbe farm era and villager from all over the county; second, tbe tramps and toughs nnd vagrants from all over creation. These latter, having Joined force with tbe strikers esrly In the game, bad speedily, as has been seen, taken the bit In tbelr teeth, the game Into their own hands, and the destruction of trains by fire and flame and tbe whole sale robbery of freight cars were their doing, not that of the disaffected rail way men, who, all too lute, wished themselves rid of their despprado al lies. But all over the neighborhood now among the saloons tbat bordered the yards, the cheap taverns aud lodg ing houses, all through tbe crowds of sullen, disheartened men skulking about the street corners. . undecided whether to give up and go back to duty or launch out on some new enterprise at the expense of the road - the story had gone far aud wide how that fellow In the derby hat and plain clothes hud taken command of a company of "me- lishy," "tin soldiers uothing better," and had so coolly handled them ami In so cold blooded a nny bnd loaded up with solid lend and given the gang to understand that he'd let daylight through their hides If tbey stirred a foot through the company's gates that tbe mob that went there bent on de struction, determined to burn and loot the office nnd warehouses, slunk away completely cowed. "That feller's boss of tbe Big Horn yards thin day, hoys, and we nln't In It." was the may the lender of the strikers expressed it, and there mas no sane man who cared to put It to the test. Ascribe It to whatever cause we may, it was a petrified fact that from the In stant Eric Langdon steppqd out at tho bead of that company the Big Horn's property was safe. Tho few willing worker left to the management took hold with a vim. An experimental craln, guarded by militiamen from oth er companies, waa started down the Red Water. A construction train fol lowed with soldier boys manning both brake aud shovel. Channlng, the bustling manager, tumbled clerks, bookkeepers, switchmen and car smiths Into engine cabs, wired for oth ers to meet them st Gunnison snd ac tually bad bia trains moving at tbe very moment when tbe Seattle sheds were going up In flume, and the great general manager of that great corpora tion, witb curses In his heart and his bands In his pockets, stood scowling on the scene of ruin through which the belated regulars were driving the Inst vestiges of the mob, and Mr. Barclay, the general manager aforementioned, mas both thinking and saying un wholesome things of the regulars' com mander, at whose hospitable board be bad been wining and dining but a month or so a gone, tbe too deliberate Captain Nathan. What Melville would have said to that crestfallen officer when at last, about noon, his train and command ar rlvcdeaiinot wellhe conjectured, but tbut tneloiig"arjyii"o7 thu Im port there can be nif doubt, for Cap tain Nathan's explanation In writing waa demanded and fxrwarrlcd a day or two later, and lioihrthe unliuo expla nation ar.d old (iray lVn's (tbe name of Cray Fox wui glveuiby the Indians to the famous frontier siUl;er nt that time coiumnutliiiir the Uiik'irtiuont of the 1 'l.i t to telling rp!y was sK.Ii!y tho talk of the department cf tbo l'lutte. Nathun said that It v.as tiuo he might bave curlier reached t':e Ked Water valley, but he conceived that bis first duty was to protect the livci of his devoted men and prevent tho possi bility of an ambuscade or pltfulC To this end every dangerous lrld;; was examined, eertnlu deep cots wcru ex plored, etc., before bo deemed It safe to proceed. He admitted long delay at the Junuloii. but declared it uccv:--ury bccuiiseof the alarming report liroiight him by "niiablu railway ofllehtls" to tho effect that the tracks wer? under mined, the t rest lea "sawed' nnd every mile of tbe Seattle from tho Junction to Brentwood n thread of mines and mantraps. It was true, be said, that the train bearing so mo militia compa nies had passed blm at iu'itilm and gone forward by the Big Horn road, but tho way was cleared for them by tbo sheriff and other olllelaU, whereas on tbo south bank no friends were to be hoped for. Aud so it hod resulted, to the un speakable disgust of the few officers with Nathan's command, that the un tried militia, miller fearless ami ener getic leadership, had forced their way, despite mobs and obstructions, to the scat of action and rescued yfio property of the Big Horn mud, while tho regu lars, bamiM-red by their timorous Intnl. were held lack for hours I.", front of purely Imaginary obstacles und only reached the yards at Brentwood ill time to tiud the. buildings n tiinss of J flame.
