led by Chief
Gray Heard, ft
noted warrior.
H a 1 d w I u
learned that
the Indiana
had with them
t w o white
girl captives and hlfli
desire to rescue them
reinforced his desire
for n fight on general
principles.
The lieutenant
looked his men over
and saw that they had
a stomach for the com
ing Bcrlmmage. With
the command of four
Blx-mule tcama, Bald
win feared that a de
tachment of the rods
might flank him when
ho was making his
chargo and kill his
mules and destroy his
field necessities. Ho
Frank D. Haldwln hna been In ao many lights
for his country that the counting of them as
sumes the proportion of a mathematical problem.
For yeara upon yenrs after the civil war In which
he distinguished himself time and again, he fought
nearly every form of Indian that he plains of
the United States has pioduccd. Thoio was one
light In which Haldwln was engaged which de
serves a place In song and story, If some song
or story writer could lie found ennui to tho oc
casion. In the days of the campnlgu of which
this light was a feature there was only one bar
on Baldwin's shoulder, for ho was a junior first
lieutenant of Infantry. The campaign wna a long
one and the llghtB followed faat and followed
faster.
While on detached service In Newport, Ky., In
June, 1874, Haldwln heard thnt his regiment was
to be ordeied, under Col. Nelaon A. Miles, to make
an expedition Into tlm. Indian territory. Tho lieu
tenant went to the front as fast aa a train and ft
horse could carry him. When ho reported for
duty Mites, who knew Baldwin's record In tho
civil war, put him In command of tho
scouts of tho expedition," n command thnt
was composed partly of whites and pnrtly
or Indiana.
With his scout h back of him Lieut. Baldwin
had a dozen engagements, ono after another,
with the confederated bands of Cheyennes, Klo
was, ArapahoeB and tho southern Comnnches.
The one light, however, which for picturesque
ness standa out most piomlnently In the bnttlo
list, did not take pluco until after Baldwin had
been In the Held for many months. U wns tho
light of his life, not In tho engngement'a alzo nor
yet,' perhaps, In Hb Importance, but In
what an olllcer who saw It declares
to have been "Us howllngly funny fea
tures." It was picturesque and It wns funny all right,
but it was dangerous as well, and Haldwln loat
Homo of his men, and took his own life in hla
hands 20 times before ho won his splendid victory
ugalnst tremendous odds. Tho daring of tho
thing was iccognlzed by Col. Miles, by the gen
eral commanding the department, nnd by tho
congress of tho United Statos, which gave Bald
win IiIb second medal of honor Tor his work on
'that day.
liy ono of the military freaks of for
tune Haldwln, aliough only a lieutenant,
found himself In November, 1874, In com
mand of D company of the Fifth infantry,
D troop of tho Sixth cavalry, and of
12 of tho scouts of the organization with
which ho had originally taken tho field.
Ho had about 100 men all told when
ho 'reached tho banks of MeCIella-i's Creek,
Tex There he found In front of him
fully COO Indian warriors splendidly armod
and apparently lusting for a light. Kvery
urmy ofllcer who afterwards learned tho e'reum-
know ho could not leave a detachment to guard
tho wagons because It would wouV.cn his forco to
a point which would make victory over tho reds
practically Impossible.
Haldwln went to tho tcamaters and said: "I
can't leave a forco with you ns a guard, and
you've got to charge with us. I want you to put
your teams In tho center or tho charging line
and make thoso mules lly straight into the mid
dle or things."
It, probably was the first time In history that
mule drivers, mules and wngons hnd been ordered
to participate as an offensive part of n cavalry
chargo. The Infantry on this occasion was mount
ed. The mule drivers lost all sense of the danger
In tho fun of tho thing. They told the lleutennnt
thnt with "good ciiBslng," and with good lashing,
they could lead tho cavalry a mile.
Tho BOOlndlniiB woro on n plateau with sides
shelving gradually down to tho plalna. Baldwin's
plan was nothing less thnn tho seemingly reckleaa
ono of crossing the open with IiIb men und
wagons, sweeping up the incline nnd driving tho
enemy, If ho could, or lighting him hand to hand,
If ho must.
The horsemen rodo up In line with the four
mulo tennis abreast at tho lino's center. There
wns a word of command, n trumpet note or two,
nnd tho lino swept across tho plain with tho
mules on a keen Jump, with black snake whips
cracking and tho dilvera saying things which a
mulo understands.
Tho reds turned looso at tho advancing hun
dred. Men and horses on tho right and loft wont
down hero and there, but .ho mules in tho center
with their huge wagons rucking nnd clntterlng
behind them swopt on with never a acrntch. Tho
reds on tho phitoau kept up tholr fusillade. Up
up, up tho incllno, tho mules lending by yards
all tho wny, swopt tho blue detachment. Tho
rogulnrs were daring and fighting as America
regulars nlways daro and fight.
One of the teamsters afterwards swore that he
could aeo Chief Gray Board's oyoa popping with
fear at""tho sight of tho charging mulos. The
luvol of tho plateau wns reached and horses,
men, mules nnd wngonB went hurtling forwnrd.
Tho teamsters woro standing, cracking their
whips nnd howling. Infantrymen and cavalrymon
caught tho spirit of tho thing nnd howled in uni
son. Thoso four mulo tenniB went Btrnlght through
tho heart of tho big baud of Gray Beard's Klo
was and Araphaoca.- Moanttmo overy carbine and
ovory Long Tom was cracking, nnd with ono last
volloy tho warriors of tho aillod tribes fled, leav
ing their dead nnd wounded and their whlto cap
tives on the field.
Lieut. Baldwin found that the two white girl
prisoners woro uninjured, nnd not long after tho
fight they woro restored to their parents. For
this chargo and for this victory Lieut. Baldwin
was breveted n captain and was given a medal
of honor, but b" al
ways hasmnlntalned
thnt the medal
should have gone to
the mules.
On the retired Hat
of tho nrmy with
Gen. B a 1 d w 1 n Is
Hrig.-Gen. John B.
Habcoek, . a close
friend of the man
who led tho mule team
chargo and a frequent visi
tor to Washington. It Is
doubtful If Gen. BabcocUs
nearest neighbors In his lit
tle country home In Sarato
ga county, N. Y., suspect
anything of the fire eating possi
bilities that He hidden In tho per
boii of this gray-haired peaceful
looking and rotlcent man.
Gen. Habcoek left the service not
long ngo and at once depnrted for
the little place In the foothills or
the Adirondack mountntns where
ho might gratify his love of coun
try life. If the general rofuses to
talk of his army achievements to
hla neighbors and If they nro curi
ously Inclined they might send for a government
record, which, though only live lines long, con
tains in It the nub of the story of one of tho most
gallant feats ever performed by an officer of the
United StateB army. "
The glory reaped from the achievement consists
of a little bronze mednl voted to the soldier by
congress, tho consciousness or duty well done and
five lines In the wnr department record which few
people ever sec. John B. Habcoek went Into the
nrmy at the outbreak of tho civil war as an en
listed inuii. Ho attracted attention by his gallant
ry as a volunteoT, and the year 18C8 found him a
first lieutenant of the Fifth Itegulnr cavalry.
In tho spring of the fourth year of peace after the
civil war that Is to Bay peace between white men
tho Klowns, the Arapahoes and tho Cheyennes mado
western Nebraska, western Kansas and eastern
Colorndo a section of whnt John Hay might havo
called "Kilt-edged hell." Lieut. Hnbcock, In the
absence of his captain, was ordered to the command
of n troop of cavalry and to take tho field.
With his trooper followers Habcoek was far In
udvunco of tho main command on the frontier or
Nebraska. Thoy reached the bank of Spring creek
on the morning of May 1G, 1869. While there a
band or 250 or the best warriors or tho plalna ap
peared In front or tho cavalry troops as though tho
savages had como from the ground. Lieut. Babcock
caught sight of the reds In time to give him a mo
ment or two for preparation. Ho would not run
nnd ho could not attack, for ho was completely sur
rounded and the savages outnumbered his force
mofo thnn six to one.
Babcock gave a quick order and with IiIb men
dashed for a bit or high ground, a plateau-like
formation with Its flat surface occupying a llttlo
more than nn acre. The instant ho reached the
place selected ho ordered his troopers to dismount
and to Intrench themselves as well bb they could.
Tho men lost no time In throwing up earth enough
to glvo them some slight protection from tho bul
lets which wore pouring In.
Babcock would not get off his horsp, nlthough his
men begged him to do bot nnd they were kept
from dragging their commanding officer to the
ground and to placo of partial safety only by. In
stilled discipline nnd by Babcock's peremptory com
mnnda to leave him nlono.
The Indians advanced within range and protect
ed themselves In the hollows of tho pralrlo. They
st.it volley after volley up the Incllno to tho hilltop
and man after man behind the poor earthwork
protection wns stricken. Babcock continued his
ride up and down the lino. His blouse wns cut
twice by bullets but his men did not know It.
"Boys, they can't hit a, thing," said Babcock.
"They've been shooting nt me and no bullot has
como nearer than tho north pole. Glvo It to 'em.
Hold 'cm off nnd relict will bo hero In no time."
Tho shots from tho Spencers and Ilonrys of tho
savages, or from most of them, ceased hitting tne
extemporized earthworks. Tho men lying prono
knew that nearly all the projectiles were passing
over their heads and they know also that ovory
paintod warrior antagonist was turning loose at
tho figure of the commanding officer riding back
nnd forth on his horso us indlfferontly as if thero
were not an Indlnn on tho frontier.
No one In that troop ovor know why Babcock
was not killed. The Indians Bald afterwnrds that
ho had somo "big medlclno" with him that turned
away tho bullots. Finally a shot cut Babcock's
boot ami wounded his horse, he turned tho animal
about quickly so that Its other Hank was toward
the men, to whom ho serenely Bald: "Thoso fellows
can't hit a barn door."
Tho commanding officer continued to ride up and
down tho lino and tho bullots continued to cut
the air all about him.
Suddenly overy savage head showed at once.
Tho troopers Blniiimed in n volloy that claimed
Bonie,victlms. Tho showing heads woro followed by
showing bodies and in another Instant the warriors
wcro erect and running to tho far rear for their
ponies. Thoy mndo off, leaving their dead nnd
wounded bohlnd them. Fur ovor tho plains, Llout.
Babcock, from his horso, biiw the main column ad
vancing. Belief was In sight.
Tho enlisted mon told tho story or Bnbcock's
bravery, and congress gave him u medul or honor.
Later tho olllcer, who Is now living In retirement,
distinguished himself twlco In action ngnlnst the
Apaches at Tonto Creek and nt the Four Peaks In
Arizona. Thero ho won tho brovet rauk of lieutenant-colonel
to add to tho honor couierred by his
congressional medal sf bronze.

of a river and was constantly In tho

cleansed my limbs but felt a prickly
sensation. I paid no attention to It
for two years but I noticed a scum
on my logs like fish scales. I did not
attend to It until It came to be too
Itchy and sore and began getting two
running sores, My ankles wero all
soro and scabby and I could not wtyir
