They thought of Morse and the telegraph very much as people had thought of Fulton and the steamboat, and made fun of him as a crazy-brained fellow. Up to the evening of the last day of the session the bill had not been taken up by the Senate.
The Sioux reported that they had not intended to murder the priest, but a crazy-brained fanatic had shot the fatal arrow and broken from restraint, weapon in hand. Rain-storms had washed out all marks of the fray. In September the bodies of the victims were carried to Fort St. Charles, and interred in the chapel.
There was nothing deliberate nor premeditated in the outburst which Steve loosed upon the man who had gone to his knees beneath the grip of his hands. "You fool!" he grated. "You crazy-brained madman!" Garry rose and made as if to dust his knees. "Poor work," he criticised, easily. "Too hurried the first shot. There should have been no excuse for a second."
The truth is, general Gates was one of that crazy-brained quality, to whom it is a misfortune to be fortunate. The least dram of success would intoxicate and make him fool hardy. He could never bring himself to believe, as he used to say, that "lord Cornwallis would dare to look him in the face."
