CHOSEN CAPTAIN OF COMPANY With Him Wert Men Destined td Fig ure Prominently in Country His tory Spot Whirs Army Erect ed Fort Now Suitably Marked. By LILIAN STAIR SCHREINER. ONE f the most In teresting events In the life of tbe great war president oc curred at a tlmo when he was little known to fame. Tola was In. 1332. during the Klsck Hawk war. a war which. In propor tion to the number of Uvea lute caused more wiVtpread fear and consternation than any other In the history of our country. When the story of the battle at'SUU man's Hun. where a stnall hand of sav ages put tu flight a whole reglmttit of soldiers, and also that of tbe uauuacro at the Davis farm, where fifteen wom en and children where tuurdered. was1 spread through the country there was scarcely a farmhouse all through the middle West that was not deserted. Both of tbe places mentioned were Id northern Illinois and soon stockade forts were thrown up and there the people flocked for protection from - the vast horde of savsges that they be lieved to be on tbelr trail. Governor Keynolds of Illinois on April 18. 1832, Issued a proclamation for volunteers to organize against the savages, and Lincoln, then twenty three year of age and living at New Salem, Sangamon county, Illliwls, was one of tbe first to respond. The com pany was allowed to choose. Its, own. eaptnln tirid much to his Joy Lincoln received tbe largest number of votes. i Icr. m,'.! on In Vis.si.:,i. 1.iu-ln was with Karly's eniniuliy of mutters In (teueral Atkinson's eointntiinl.

In those early days Lincoln showed thnt same observance to Justice and the rights of others which character ised his later yeurs, In evidence of which may he noted the luciileut of the Indisn's coming to (ieneral Chss with a letter recommending blio for his services to the whites. Some of the ineo In the company wished hhn shut ss a spy. but Lincoln promptly Inter fered, saying that thla peaceable In dian should not be killed. There Is no record to show but what bis Judgment was correct and hl leniency well ad vised. ' One nf the most Interesting facts In Lincoln's history lit this time, and which shows what queer pranks fate nn piny. Is-thls : !en. Wliifleld Scott, then In command at Fort Snclllng. sent two young lieutenants to muster in the Illinois volunteers. In the lun iiuiige of n memoir of the times, one of these lieutenants wus "a very fasci nating young man nf easy milliners and affable disposition, while the oilier was equally pleasant and extremely mod est. It Is further stated that "a toll, homely young man dressed In blue Jeans" presented himself to the lieu tenants as captain of a company of volunteera and was duly sworn In. The one who administered the imth of allegiance to the Myoung man In blue Jeans" was the lieutenant nf the fasclnstlng manners above mentioned. This was Jefferson Davis. The young man In blue Jeans was Abmhaiif Lin coln, and the other yonng lieutenant of "the extremely modest" demeanor was Robert Anderson, commander nf Kort Sumter at tbe beginning of the Civil war. And no premonition told them, as they stood together on thai pleasant spring morning, of the Impor tant parts they were each to pluy In that great drama of blood. In that part of the war that was the 8tn of July by some Winnebago Indluus that Black Hawk wus bl'llug In the swnuip on an Island In Lake Koshkonoiig. Ave miles down the river. It was Karly's company that wns sent to reoonnolter. They crossed the river on rafts to the Islund. Lincoln among them, but the wily iluwk hud flown. This happened on tbe Uth of July. They returned up the river to the main command, and on the 10th of July Lin coln wus tllllstereu out of service. The next day he started out with his com panlnna for his home In Illinois. That night Irfs own hor and tbut of one tit bis comruilea -was stolen, und the co4 of the dlsisnce was made on foot. Lincoln wus very fond of talking In Ister life of his experiences In the Itlack Hswk war. On one occasion. In the fall of 1S0.I, he was making speech In U'btconslii. After "'uk Ing at Bololt he was conveyed by car riage to Jnueevllle. They traversed the snme route a that taken by the army In the Illuck Hawk war twenty seven years before. Lincoln rccog-, nlzed It nnil talked freely ntsiiit the events of that time, telling In his hu morous way of the dllMcultles encoun tered In his JourTiey home after his horse wus stolen. trradually, however. In the thn-e quar- I ters of a century nnd more that have pass4l since the time when Lincoln I and his comrades cumped In the wll- derm, the stockade Hrsts rotted nway until there was nothing to show where the fort hsd stood. Thi n the ' jjuiifliters nf tbe Aiiicrlc'iu ((evolution of Fort Atkinson took the matter Iti hand and placed n memorial to murk I the spot. It Is u mnaplvc boulder of j native stone with a tablet of M.-mku- Hiusetts granite upon which this In- i vrlptlnn Is engraved: "Near this kbiI 1 la 1t!2 In the Black Hawk war. (Icn.
