Then she fled away into the dawn. The sun was just showing over Lansing mountain as Jeffrey Whiting came out of his mother's house dragging a hair trunk by the handle. His uncle, Cassius Bascom, drove up from the barn with the team and sled. Jeffrey threw his trunk upon the sled and bent to lash it down safe. It was twenty-five miles of half broken road and snowdrifts to Lowville and the railroad.
It was about this time that a touching friendship began which ought, in justice, to be briefly chronicled. It was impossible for the Honourable Brush Bascom and the Honourable Jacob Botcher to have Mr. Crewe sitting between them and not conceive a strong affection for him. The Honourable Brush, though not given to expressing his feelings, betrayed some surprise at the volumes Mr.
Tooting's to recognize them as such for they wear no uniforms. Still other scouts conduct some of the gentlemen who have talked with Mr. Botcher up the stairs to a mysterious room on the second floor. Mr. Tooting discovers that the room is occupied by the Honourable Brush Bascom; Mr. Tooting learns with indignation that certain of these guests of Mr. Bascom's are delegates pledged to Mr.
Its site was near the spot where the speaker's stand was now erected for the barbecue which I have mentioned. From the pulpit of this rude building, the early settlers had more than once listened spell-bound to the eloquence of Peter Cartwright, Henry B. Bascom, Nathan L. Rice, Finis Ewing, and Alexander Campbell.
Only a few of the party escaped, and some of these made their way in to Fort Cobb, to join the rest of their tribe in confinement; while others, later in the season, surrendered at Fort Bascom. This sudden appearance of Evans in the Red River region also alarmed the Cheyennes and Arapahoes, and their thoughts now began to turn to submission.
Maybe in the course of your professional travels this thing has got to be an everyday occurrence to you, but there's some of us here, that 'aint got much interest in such goings-on, outside of Durford." "You have no authority to raise money for the church; I believe the Warden will concur in that opinion?" and he bowed towards Bascom.
But Hilary appeared unaware of the implication, and made no reply. "I can't find out what Bascom and Botcher are doing," Mr. Flint went on; "I don't get any reports they haven't been here. Perhaps you know. They've had trip passes enough to move the whole population of Putnam County. Fairplay says they're gettin' delegates for Adam Hunt instead of Giles Henderson.
Everything being now in readiness, he again spoke to his steeds, and this time without mishap, the lumbering old vehicle rattled away on its journey. The little crowd gradually dispersed and soon left Robert and the constable alone with the store-keeper. "I didn't see old Ben Ratcliffe around this morning," said Mr. Bascom to John Todd, the store-keeper.
"They look just like the big sunbonnets that Grandma Bascom always wore when she went out to feed her hens, don't they, Jasper?" "Precisely," he said, bursting into a laugh. "How you always do see funny things, Polly." "And see what queer patches there are all up and down the sides of some of them," cried Polly. "Whatever can they be, Jasper?" "Oh, those are the advertisements," said Jasper.
"What's the matter with seeing him now?" Mr. Crewe demanded. "I know Manning. He's the division superintendent, isn't he?" Mr. Botcher and Mr. Bascom exchanged glances. "Why, yes " said Mr. Bascom, "yes, he is. He's a great friend of General Doby's, and their wives are great friends." "Intimate friends, sir," said the Honourable Jake "Well," said Mr. Crewe, "we won't bother 'em but a moment."
