Emory prolonged the line of battle to the Red Bud on the right by posting Sharpe's and Birge's brigades of Grover, with Molineux and Shunk in the second line, the 9th Connecticut deployed as skirmishers to cover the right flank of Birge.
It was really the butler who had brought my eulogy of Stacy Shunk to a sudden close, for, appearing in half-drawn portières, he announced: "Mr. Talcott." The mere entrance of Mr. Talcott carried us far from the valley and such rude associates as old Bill Hansen and his kind.
In such fashion, Smoke's trial began. The speaker, a loose-jointed, hard-rock man from Colorado, manifested irritation and disgust when Harding set his suggestion aside, demanded the proceedings should be regular, and nominated one, Shunk Wilson, for judge and chairman of the meeting.
While French Louis was shoving forward, Lucy opened the door. "Where you goin'?" Shunk Wilson shouted. "I reckon I don't have to stay," she answered defiantly.

Eli Harding asked, as Shunk started to follow. "For my dogs, of course." "Ain't you goin' to hang him?" "It'd take too much time right now. He'll keep till we get back, so I reckon this court is adjourned.
"It would be living, indeed," I said with enthusiasm. "More than once I have been on the point of going back to stay. I don't suppose you ever knew my old friend Stacy Shunk, did you?
