"Are they on the Canadian side yet?" questioned Ridgely anxiously. "I don't know that, and I shouldn't feel right in telling you if I did," replied Dave. "You had better let me go, Mr. Ridgely. It won't sound well, when things get righted, that you kept me a prisoner here." "I haven't all the say about that, Dashaway," confessed Ridgely in a rueful way.
By the terms of the treaty of Traverse des Sioux and Mendota in 1851 the Sioux sold all their lands in Minnesota, except a strip ten miles wide on each side of the Minnesota river from near Fort Ridgely to Big Stone lake. In 1858 ten miles of the strip lying north of the river was sold, mainly through the influence of Little Crow.

"Oh, some one to take care of," was the short reply. "He don't look like a revenue." "Worse than that. Ridgely will tell you when he comes," was the indifferent retort. "Have you a place to keep him tight and safe?"
All at once Captain May rode to the front of his troop every rein and sabre was tightly grasped. Raising himself and pointing at the battery, he shouted, 'Men, follow! There was now a clattering of hoofs and a rattling of sabre sheaths the fire of the enemy's guns was partly drawn by Lieutenant Ridgely, and the next moment we were sweeping like the wind up the ravine.
