The loud outcry at the north end of
the street, quickly swollen to a deafen

a rapid discharge of hand guns,
caused more than one citizen of Dead
wood Q ty to fear that Craay Horse
and Sitting BoD were making good
their threats and were sweeping Into
town at the head of their copper-col
ored hordea.
But as the clamor
reached K itty tbe Schemer's place,
swept on by Keno Frank's gambling
hall, and was added to by thoee to
front of San Juan Joe's big tent. It
took on a rude rhythm and at Inter
vals burst Into a reassuring staccato
of wild cheering. Then tbe tents and
bull dings farther south knew some

that no danger was Imminent.

around to the street.
“No soldiers I Two men I” howled a
boy from the top of a pine.
Then a solid mass of exclamatory
humanity came Into the view, swal
lowing disorganized groups as fast as

The procession came to a halt, for
the street ahead was filling with rUbn

mighty lungs dlmbsd to the top of a
freight wagon and bellowed:
"Pete Dlnsdale and Scissors, who
