MACK'S ESCAPE.
In the town in which I live there is an
M frontiersman whoin every one calls
"Squire Muck." Is the early days he
went to California, and had uiany curl
em adventures there which he delights
in recounting.
At the breuking out of the civil war
he waa making shingles uear some min
ing town In the Sierra Nevada. The
ewe from home tilled hiiu with patriot
ic Are, and with eeveral comrades he
turned hie faue eastward aud travel
ed as rapidly a puaaihle toward the
"(states."
Arriving at Halt Lake City, he learned
that Indians had keen raiding the trail
head, tiring upon wagon trains and
earning express and stuge stations.
This news disheartened his companions.
who resolved to stop at salt Lake City
til the trouble was over.
Mot so with Mack. He was of toe sort
ef men who are bound to go through
when they bare iwguu a thing, lie
pressed on, taking his chances, ou the
"Cherokee trail,"
Mack had been a wagonmaater along
this trail, and knew the ground well
Be bad heard that the Indians were raid
ing about Ureen river, but he knew that
Mtbe crossing of the trail over this
strain he had a good friend In the per
son of Hat Luvtgne. an old trrenoh Cana
dian trader who lived here.
Lavigne bail a great deal of Influence
ssnong the nut-rounding tribes of Utes,
Utntuhs. (Jbeyenues and Arapahoee. He
was married to an Arapaho woman, aud
was reckoned a member of that tribe.
He must lie awuru uf the moveiueuts of
the ludiaus
Ho Hack, riding an excellent oayuae
sshI leading a good sized pack mule,
poshed boldly ou to Ureen river oroeg
tog anil brought up at Bat Lavigne's
adobe dwelling one evening at sundown.
Lavigue made biiu welcome heartily.
The trailer told him that a big war
party of Anipnboes bad "mixed medi
ans" at Ureeu river two days before,
nil bail set out from there upou an ex
pedition to the east He had been with
tbem during Uie powwow, but did not
know whether they bad "excepted white
blood" in mixing their medicine or not
If they bad not, the trail would be ex
tremely dangerous.
But there wore no other Indians to be
feared at preeent, he said, if one kept
straight nHu the old Cherokee trail,
which passed over a Hue of neutral
ground Iwtweeu the mountain tribes. If
the Amimhoea were agaiu to go plun
dering and killing whites, as they had
done a few weeks before, they would
keep to tins trail to avoid other enemies.
Mack's Htrlnig desire to get forward
spun the way home got the bettor of bis
prudence, aud he again took the trail
est ward.
At about noon on the third day he
eaine iim the smoldering ruins of an
Old freight or way station.
Mack knew very well, from certain
signs which lie now la the neighborhood,
thai the building hud been tired by In
diana. If imiple bad been living in it
they had probably been killed or taken
prisoners.
W lilt her th Indians had gone Mack
conlil not determine. The gronnd was
aril and linked, and no tracks of any
on could be discovered, but the party
oulil not lie far distant.
Mack picketed his animals among
miie Migp brush near at hand, and ate
hie msiii lunch while considering whether
It wus liwt to go back or go ahead. He
bad now an doubt that the building had
been burned by the Arapuhoes, and that
they had not "excepted white blood" in
Staking up their iirotective medicine.
As lie ml in this meititative mood the
traveler, uituueuing to oast ki Mm
hack Um the trull over which he Rail
cniiie. saw two horsemen leading pock
animals and ridiug toward him at a
gallop.
They proved to be young men who
were on their way home Tennessee.
They had beard of Mack i Lavigne's
three days before, and hail neen trying
to overtake him.
They, too, were on their way east
ward to take part in the great straggle
then going forward: bnt tbey Intended
to Join tbe sonthern army, while be was
going to join the Union forces.
"Partner," said one of the southern
ers, "let's stick together aud tight to
gether through this here Indian coun
try, and after we get home well fight
each other."
"All right," said Mack; "it's agreed.
Northerners is northerners and south
erners is southerners, but Injins is
pizen." :
bo them deadly enemies of the near
future went on together, comrades in
danger. Every man of the three was
eonipisid with a stout muzzle loading
rifle and a large Colt's revolver.
They set out together on the trail and
Sad advanced bnt a few miles from the
burned station when they sighted a
inad of mounted Indians, wbo had just
broken camp at a mountain spring be
side tbe trail. Tbey were several hun
dred yards in advance when they were
discovered, and were jost riding oat of
the depression which gave rise to the
spring
Ou account of bis long experience in
the country Muck had been given the
leadership by the Tenuesseeans. Be
came to a halt and told his companions
to get otf their horses, hoping tbey
might possibly escape notice; but even
while they were dismounting the In
dium caught Bight of tbem, and wheel
ing their smies about came back at a
gallop straigbt down the trail. Tbey
spread out in a sort of fan shape as tbey
came, aud Mack counted twenty-six.
"(Jit roady for business, boys, said
be quietly. "Behind your horses, re
volvers handy, and rifles across saddles!"
Tbe Indians came ou at a reck lens pace
until within about a hundred yards,
when Mack, stepping out from behind
bis horse, shouted and motioned them
back.
They pulled up snddenly. One of
them slipped from his pony, and hand
ing the rein and bis gun to a comrade
cuuie forward on foot, gorgeous in a col
sred blanket, a white slouch bat stuck
with ravens' feathers, and a variety of
brilliant paints daubed upon bis face
aud breast
Ue was a big fellow and walked with
a swinging stride.
"How! bow!" said be, as be halted a
few paces distant aud grinned hideous
ly through bis paiuta.
"How do you dor answered Mack.
"What do you wuutT
The Indian shook bis head in tokea
that be did not understand Unglish.
"Hablan ustedee lilspanolr" (Do yon
speak spanisbr) asked the Indian.
Mack, who had picked op a smattering
of Bpanish, answered that he did. In
this tongue tbe Indian asked where they
were going.
Mack answered that they were going
home to the land where the sun rose.
and asked in turn what the chief for
such the Indiau undoubtedly was
wanted.
The Arapaho told bim if the white
men would surrender theirhorses, mules,
gunB and ammunition tbey might keep
their ulanketn and go ou. and be would
not let bis warriors molest them.
Kor reply Muck indicated, partly in
Hpauish aud partly by gestures, that the
Indians might have the ammuaition
through the muzzles of the guns and
the weapons and animals after their
owners were dead.
At this the Indian grinned, and tried
to turn the matter otf as a joke. Be then
asked if Mack and his party were going
to camp at Big Medicine Bprings that
night, aud upon being told that they
were, said that his camp was there, and
that he and bis braves would keep the
white men company.
But tbe white men might, he said,
travel in advance, since in this way they
would escape the dust the Indians' horses
would make.
Mack declined this courteous offer, but
told the Indian that he and his compan
ions would follow. They did not mind
traveling in the dust at all, especially
as there was no dust on the sun baked
plain.
Tbe Arapaho laughed again, "mighty
onpleasunt," as one of the Tenneeseeans
put it, aud wheeling about strode back
to his men.
After a uionient's conversation with
them he sprung into his saddle, and
with a beckoning motion to tbe white
men headed his ouvalcude back upon
the trail.
Mack's companions looked at him In
quiringly. "We've got to follow, boys," he told
tbem. "There's no use bucking agin it
If we turn tall now we're goners. Our
only hope is to go on with 'em fearlessly
ami vamp not far from 'em tonight and
then trust to darkness to get away from
'in."
Without a moment's hesitation they
mounted and followed the Arapahoes,
Wbo jogged along at a dog trot
All that afternoon the three whites
rode close behind the Indians, talking
and langhing with an unconcern which
tbey did not feel, but whichnndoubtedly
did mnuh to render the savages more
certain of outwitting and capturing or
killing the little party at their leisure.
I Big MudicUia vas reaohedapout srjg-
dowu. The chief had spoken truly with
regard to his oainp. for there wore
twelve or lifteen lodges near the springs
on the lower slope of the hill near the
base of which the water came to the
surface.
As they rode down to the springs the
chief dropped back and asked Mack
where be would camp. Mack told bim
they would picket their bersos among
the sagebrush on the side of the hill
above the spring. This seemed to satis
fy the Indian; he turned away and rode
with the others down to their camp.
After watering their animals and
bringing a pailful from the springs the
white men moved up the side hill some
SOU yards above and picketed their ani
mals in a little depression out of sight of
tbe Indian camp. A sentinel, however,
whom they could see posted npon a rock
upon tbe opposite bluff, bad them in full
view.
"Now. hoys." said Mack to his com
panions after tbey bad lighted a tire,
"git out your Uutoh oven and I'll git
out mine and my self raisin flower, and
wbile you take tbe hatchets and cut a
big lot of sagebrush for a bonfire 111
mix and bake bread enough to last us
three days.
"Then after that's done well eat a big
supper and light a big tire, and behind
the blaze of it we II crawl to our horses
and get out of these diggin's. It'll take
us three days or three nights to reach
Fort Collins, and those fellows 11 fol
low us clean through unless we can
dodge tbem somewhere on the trail."
In three hours everything was in read
mess for departure. No Indians had
ventured near tbem. Evidently the
Indians were trying to throw the white
men otf their guard by a show of indif
ference. It hud grown quite dark. Mack re-
lived to trust in a not unfamiliar rase.
He first allowed the tire to sink low, and
then gathered a quantity of sagebrush
and wrapped it up in three of their ex
tra blankets.
These bundles were then placed near
the fire so that they should look at a dis
tance like the figures of men squatted
before tbe blaze.
Then Mack and his comrades piled on
brush until the flames leaped high; and
behind this blaze tbey crept away to the
horses, monnted them, and leading the
repacked mules rode straight up the side
hill until out of range of the firelight
They then turned and rode several
miles parallel with the trail, guiding
their course by faintly seen stars. By
and by they struck into the trail and
urged their aulutals forward. They
bad beard no sound of Indians in pur
suit Before daylight they turned off and
rode about four miles to the left, where
Ihey hid their animals in a tittle pocket
which had grass and water and betook
themselves to a quaking-asp thioket uear
at hand for rest and, by turns, for
sleep. Here they proposed to remain
all day aud to go on again at night Uue
of them kept guard at tbe edgo of the
thicket, overlooking the route and the
surrounding country.
Late in the afternoon a squad of In.
dians were discerned in the distance
looking for their trail. Crowded behind
tufts of buffalo grass, they watched this
band closely and auxiously.
At sundown a signal Are about three
miles away announced that their tracks
had been discovered. But it would yet
bean hour or more before the Indians
would overtake the little party.
As soon as it grew dark enough to
cover their retreat. Mack and his com
panions started. They crossed the trail.
and rode until midnight on the other
tide. Then they crossed back again,
rode two miles out to the left and
camped until daylight
Rising again, they took the trail di
rect, and rode at as rapid a pace as their
ammals could be expected to sustain.
Mack thought they had gained a lead
during the night which would make it
impossible for the Indians to come np
with tbem; but at about 10 o clock they
discovered a signal tire upon a hill not
more than a mile off at the left and
somewhat in advance of them.
The building of this tire was proof
that the party ahead were scouts, and
that the main body of the Indians was
behind. Mack kept his men to the trail,
and they urged their animals forward.
All that day they rode, but the In
dians who were signaling kept steadily
in advance of them. During the day
they counted no less than seventeen fires,
all built at a great distance from the
trail; but during all the time not an
Arapaho was seen.
That night, when their horses and
mules were almost exhausted, the white
men made out the dim forms of two
mountains a few miles in advance.
Mack knew that these marked the pas
sage of the trail out upon the open
plains, within a three or four hours' ride
of Fort Collins. Hidden in the mouth
of a canyon they escaped observation.
They rested and fed their horses, took
food and before daylight were again in
the saddle.
"If we have any trouble it will come
in th pass between the mountains."
Mack told his comrades. "If we don't
run against a party of 'em there, we're
out of the woods. If we do, it'll take a
good bunch of 'em to clean us out, for
there's no cover only open ground."
As they rode into the pass they saw
Ave Indiana in the distance, seated upon
their horses near the trail. These were
undoubtedly the scouts, who, riding the
swiftest ponies in their band, had kept
ahead and were now stationed in the
passhopuag ts hold, tbj whits men in
check until others of their party came
up.
"Nothin to do but brush em one side,
boys," said Mack.
Tightening their girths and looking to
their weapons, the little party charged
forward at a stiff gallop.
The Indians slipped off their horses
and made a show of standing their
ground: but as the white men pressed
straight on and came nearly within rifle
shot they lost their courage and fled.
Five honrs later Mack and the Teu
nesseeans were in Fort Collins, where a
strong detachment of regular troops
was stationed. -
The Tenneeseeans looked qneerly at
Mack as they rode np to the fort. They
seemed to be satisfied with his look, and
said nothing. Nor did Mack say any
thing to the officers at the post concern
ing bis companions' rebellious inten
tions. Frank Welles Calkins in Youth's
