You know the Sioux have sworn by him for years, and he thought he could coax Red Cloud to keep away, but all the old villain would promise was to hold his young men back ten days or so until Folsom could get the general to order the Warrior Gap plan abandoned. If the troops are there Folsom says it's all up with them.
What is wrong?" for her head was drooping, her knees giving way beneath her, as the poor child whispered her answer: "Sioux coming plenty braves! Hide quick!" And Folsom bore her in his arms within. Never unless sure of its ground and the weakness of the adversary does the modern Indian band attack at night. Folsom and his people well knew that.
I prepared with great care the letter to the adjutant-general of August 17, 1848, which Colonel Mason modified in a few Particulars; and, as it was important to send not only the specimens which had been presented to us along our route of travel, I advised the colonel to allow Captain Folsom to purchase and send to Washington a large sample of the commercial gold in general use, and to pay for the same out of the money in his hands known as the "civil fund," arising from duties collected at the several ports in California.
"Finish this! you young hound, I'll finish you!" screamed Burleigh, as he shook his clinched fist at the retiring pair. "Go, boys, go!" implored Folsom. "I'll see you by and by. No no sit still, Burleigh. Don't you speak. This must stop right here."
Endicott, "her son was one of the party of tourists that Folsom sent to jail, and I never once connected the names. Absurd and stupid on my part." "Charming young man," said the lady, as she excused herself and went off.
You don't care to go on this ride this morning one bit, do you dear?" he added uneasily. "No, father; frankly, I don't but he has been polite to you and attentive to us. There's no help for it." And so Folsom went alone to the door to meet his visitors on the porch without, and did not hear, did not see Mrs.
"I want to take that boy back with me to town and confront him with one of his accusers this very day the man I believe, by the ghost of Jim Bridger, is at the bottom of the whole business!" and Folsom flopped heavily and disgustedly into a chair, at sound of a rap at the door, which opened an inch and the adjutant's nose became visible at the crack. "Major Burleigh, sir, would like to see you."
At three Miss Folsom had gone and tapped at the lady's door her room was in the third story overlooking the street and was very civilly assured that Mrs. Fletcher stood in need of nothing, but, being wearied, she would like a little sleep. No, she did not even care for a cup of tea.
Might it not be that if relief came not speedily Papa Folsom would yield to the spell and fall asleep in his easy-chair? Was it not Miss Folsom's duty to descend and take the burden of entertainment off those elder shoulders? These thoughts oppressed the girl, and starting up, she cried: "It's simply wicked of me staying here and letting poor papa be bored to death.
Brentwood raged like a madman the rest of the way home, and he looked like one, with his torn clothes, swollen nose, and blackened eyes. There wasn't any more cow-stealing after that. General Folsom sent his troopers out and confiscated all the cows, and his troopers, aided by the militia, ate most of the meat.
