AREL1COFTHE WAR ;
The Sanitary Flour Sack Kept
by Uridley's Family ,
Story of tha Horo'i Effort * to Aid
the Union' * Suffering Soldier * .
fcan Francisco Chronicle.
Few occurrences of our civil
jvar attracted inoro notice , or
created more enthusiasm through
out the country , thnn the tour
of 11. 0. Oridloy mid his sack
of flour , which BO amply assisted the
noble\\ork of the Sanitary Commis
sion , in caring for the health nnd
comfort of our soldiers , rcutoriiic the
aick warriors to health , and nerving
the nrm of the well with the encour
aging thought that ho was not tin
thought of , nor likely to no uncarcd
for in case of misfortune. Dtiring the
war Revel 0. Gridloy was a merchant
of the firm of Gridley , Ilolwrt
Jacobs , doing business in Austin , in
the then territory of Nevada. Grid-
ley was n Democrat , not ono of the
class known as Copperheads , but a ,
Democrat whoso ho.ut pulsed for the
Union constant in all of that dark
trial and terrible struggle.
THE WAOEU.
A loctl election was pending in
Austin in April , 18G4. Some banter
botwo'n him and Dr. Herrick , an
oflicc-holdcr of the county , resulted in
n wager on the outcome of the elcc
tion. The conditions were that the
Doctor , if the election went against
his party , should carry a twenty-pound
sack of Hour on his shoulder through
Main street , from the First ward ,
Clifton , to the Fourth ward , Upper
Austin , a distance of about onoimilo
nnd n quarter , marching to the tune
of "Dixie , " nnd that Gridloy , in the
eventof his losing , should carry the
sack of flour through the same street
from Upper Austin to Clifton , having
the advantage of the down-hill grodn ,
marching to tho-air of "Old John
Brown. " Those wore the diwa before
Nevada became n rotten borough ,
whose ralo belonged in fee simple to
the richest citizen. Nevada , was
'stanch in her loyalty , the election
went against Gridley 8 party , nnd on
April 20th ho paid his debt. The
whole population of Austin assembled
about his store to witness the novel
aiTair. The utmost good-feeling pre
vailed on all sides. Gridloy took his
discomfiture with-out chagrin , and
with cheerful good-humor set about
redeeming his word.
A TRIUMPHAL MARClt.
The sack of flour , trimmed with ribbons
bens and flags , twos shouldered by
him , and with the stats and stripes in
his hands ho took his place in the line
prepared for the novel march , amid
the cheers and laughter of the con-
coin so. A procession was formed , and
moved in the following order : At the
head of the column n cavalcade of
thirty-six men on horseback , with the
city officials elect. Then came the
band playing "OH John Brown" with
all the fervor that the singular occa
sion could inspire. Next came the
winner of the wager , Dr. Herrick ,
carrying Mr. Gridloy's cane and hat.
Gridley came next with the sack of
flour on his shoulder , and his son
Amos , a Tad of' ' 13 , by his side , carry
ing a flacr. Then the Democratic
County Committee , two of them with
flags ; ono with a pole , on which was a
sponge , and another carrying aloft a
new broom , symbolic of the clean
sweep that they had undergone. The
procession started , the crowd cheered
in concert , every steam whistle with
in hearing screamed , and over all the
hills echoed back the strains of "John
Brown's" inarch. Gridley stood man
fully to his task , by his be.iring dis
arming defeat of half its humiliation.
"Go it , Gridloy ! " "Stick to it ,
Gridloy ! " "Novor say die , Gridley ! "
shouted the crowd , cheering encour
agingly. Never was there a day of
livelier mirth in Austin town. Reach
ing Clifton , the losers set about the
ceremony of formally confessing their
defeat. The flour was delivered by
its bearer to the Doctor , the flag sur
rendered , and the symbolic besom
placed in the hands of the successful
party.
AN INSPIRATION.
A bright , good thought struck the
hero of the occasion. Why not turn
the hilarity of iho day to public ad
vantage by doing something with the
sack to aid the Sanitary Commission.
The suggestion was eagerly caught up
by the jolly crowd , It was suggested
by some that the sack of flour bo
baked into cakes and bo distributed
as mementoes of the occasion. Grid-
ley held to his patriotic purpose.
"No , " said ho , this mass of people
have had their fun at my expense , I
now propose that they do something
for our sick nnd wounded soldiers.
Wo will put this sack of flour up at
auction and sell it with the under
standing that whoever the purchaser
may bo ho shall pay the money bid
-iiil then give back the flour , to bo
sold again for the benefit of the Sani
tary Commission fund , " The propo
sition was received with gcout favor. to
A stand was erected nnd Gndlny
mounted it as auctioneer. Bidding
was spirited and in a few moments
the sack was knocked down for $300.
Gridley'wus the purchaser. Ho paid
hia money and immediately put , up in
the sack for sale again. It was cold
over nnd over , until a largo sum had
been realised , The procession then
returned , overcharged with enthusi
asm , to Upper Austin , Gridley mount
ed upon n spirited horse nnd iiiow
doubly t'lo hero of the occasion , hav
ing changed humiliation to a noble
triumph. The day's sport ended
there , but the history of that famous
sack of flour had just begun.
HPKKAUINO ENTHUSIASM.
The fruno of the incident noon
spread to neighboring mining uamps ,
the spirit of the enterprise taking
hold of them all , the enthusiasm
growing asit ; spread. Gridloy , fired
with his patriotic impulse , took the at
hint and aut out an foot with his sack if
to raise iiionoy for the suffering sol to
diers of the nation. The people uvo-
'ry _ where turned out en massp to greet
him nnd help on his noble enterprise.
They formed great processions in every -
ory town , with the man and the sack
nt their head. At Virginia City $8000
was realized from the sale of the lit
tle bag of flour , at Sacramento , $10- ot
000 , and in this city ? 25,000. , No
Palidin returning victor from hiu'h
martial emprise was over 'accorded
such n reception as awaited the Man
with the Sack on his noble and pa
triotic mission. His reception here
was the most memorable ovation over
tendered a private citizen , The town
wont wild -with enthusiasm. Mont
gomery street was thronged , nnd the
welkin rang with cheers , as Gridloy
marched nlong with the sack oi flour
on his shoulder mid the national ban
ner borne in hishhnd. ] The Metro
politnn Theater on Montgomery street
wherein the snck was put to auction ,
was thronged , thousands being unnblo
to force their way in who desired to
bo present , The nuwapapcrs spread
far nnd wida the fame of Gridloy ami
his Bixck , nnd pivcd his way to suc
cess everywhere. From here ho wont
East with his sack. The same general -
oral recognition of his noble enter
prise attended him cvtirywhoro , nnd
before his famous sack returned from
its patriotic tour it had put over
f200,000 into the fund of the Snnitiv
ry Commission.
TH'K HERO'S ' VAMII.V BUFFERING.
The measure of that noble benefaction
faction only the Omniscient can os
tnnnto. 1'oor , Gridloy has long since
gone to the adjustment of the ac
count. Every time the sack was sold
it w , s returned to him and ho finally
brought it back to his own homo ,
vhoro it is retained in the family as n
precious heirloom. In time business
reverses overtook Gridley and lie
diefl some years ngo without having
been nblo to regain his financial foot
ing. His falnily now live at Modes
to in circumstances not merely of
poverty , but actual destitution -waut.
Of the property oncetheirs the wid

A HORNLESS BULL ,
The Dethroned Chief of the
Sioux and Hie Captivity.
A Native Monarch SBorn of Hit
Plnxne *
Correspondence Nj Y. Herald.
For some days pa t I have boon
learning facts about the Indian ques-
tidnat Standing Eock. The oflicors
herb apeak in ( hopeful terms of tliu
effect which the late manoeuvre of the
government bus produced , and assure
me that the removal of Sitting Bull
from the Standing Eock reservation
was"a wise step on the part of the war
department. ( Ho has been the organ
izer ot nearly nil the recent out
breaks of the Sioux. Trained as a
diplomat nnd warrior by his father ,
Four Horns , the old chief of the
Sioux , the leader of the hostiles is to
the Indian an ideal of valor and wis
dom. From childhood ho lias been
looked upon as the coming head of
the Sioux nation , nnd'this hereditary
prestige , added to his marvelous
natural abilities , has raised Sitting
Bull to a position among the
Sioux which no other war
rior has ever dared to as
sume. When ho was absent on tlio
warpath the other < great chiefs at
Standing Eock were'loud ' , in their de
nunciations. They'openly ' called him
a fool and n coward-nnd , laughed at
the idea of following- him into' the
wilderness , All their jealousies , har
bored for months , were freely vented ,
and the more mention of the warrior
chiefs name was a signal for jeers.
But when Sitting Bull came back his
wonderful power was shown. Al
though the great Uncapapa returned
broken down with hunger and sutler-
ing , stripped of his paint and a pris
oner , ho walked through the Sioux
camp like the natural monarch that ho
is nnd his worst enemies were eager to
do him homage. There was not ,
among the 7,000 savages who live on
this reservation , a single Humor who
did not tremble when the eagle oycs of
tire hostile chief were turned upon
him , and when the sound of his foot
steps was heard among the lodges nt
night the chiefs who had accused him
of cowardice skulked away in
fear. Ho is the idol of the Equaws and
the god of the children. Ho in
thoroughly honest nnd poss SBJS a
kind heart. Sitting Bull despises the
Indians w ho idle their time awny on
the reservations and live on rations
issued by the government. To him
the Sioux who accepts provisions is a
beggar not lit to associate with honor
able men who live by their own exer
tions. These ideas have been moder
ated , however , by his iccont hard
ships , and the probabilities are that
Sitting Bull will soon be nn exponent
of civilized methods. Experience has
shattered many of the images which
he had built up iti his barbaric imag
ination. Fierce and cruel as ho has
proved himself to bo when , bent on
war , Sitting Bull lifts many noble
traits , AYhon ho surrendered his
proudest boast was that ho had never
eaten a pound of meat that did not
belong to him and that hefwas , consequently
quently , tinder no obligation to the
government. Ho told the ollicern of \
this post that his whole aim now was
bo the leader of the Sioux nation in
pcaco ns ho was in war. Herein lay
the danger of allowing him to remain
hoio.
A OEEAT POLITICIAN.
Sitting Bull it the greatest politician
the territory and has a keen appre
ciation of the power which could be
created by a gradual concentration of
the different tribes. For months be
fore ho left the reservation to go on
tlio war path ho had bcon gradually
undermining the influence of the
other Sioux chiefs nnd absorbing their
fighting , men into his own 'band ,
There is a rude chivalry about the
man and such n strong personal mag
netism that the young Uncapopas sur
rounded him ready to follow under his
leadership to n certain death if ho
commanded it. This toato of absolute
power lias made Sitting Bull so ambi
tious that an outbreak might occur at
any moment. Ho is too proud to live
upon the alm.s which are distributed
the agencies for any length of tiino
ho had enough warriors about him
break away. Tlioro nro only three
hundred soldiers stationed nt this
fort , and they could do no inoro to
prevent a hostile uprising than so
many children. With Sitting Bull to
explain to tlio young bucko how
strong they were 'whon organized
the garrison were in constant danger
massacre ) . I cannot too strongly
emphasize the fact that there is not
enough soldiery here to control the
Indiana. When I saw the whole force
on dress parade this morningnnd then
turned my eyes to the tents of the
3,000 Indians who were encamped
three miles nwny in full sight , the ut
ter helplessness of the command was
impressed upon mo strongly. Many
of the Indians possess , nnd those
who have firearms are splendid
marksmen. A thousand braves could
assemble any nleht , steal up ( o the
fort , nnd in twenty minutes not n
man would bo loft to toll how the nt-
tnck wns mado. I have boon request
ed by the army oflicora hero nnd elsewhere -
whore to call public attention to this
mnttor. With. Sitting Bull nwny
there arc few men loft who hnvo
brains enough to organize the warriors
in Bufllciont numbers to bo dangerous.
THF. OL1 > WAllKtOll's JlISArroiNTMEKT.
The accounts which were tele
graphed to newspapers nil over the
country at the time of Sitting Bull's '
removal from this post 'were ex
tremely sensational , nnd many state
ments were made which had no foun
dation in fact. The whole situation
has been misrepresented. Sitting
Bull is loved by the rank and file of
the Indinnsfor his personal brnverynnd
generous disposition toward oven the
meanest of his follow era. But nil
the chiefs are jealous of him , nnd
oven Gnul and Rnin-in-tho-Fnco , who
were . formerly his two lieutenants ,
were glnd to BOO him taken to Fort
Ilandali n prisoner. There was no
excuse for the announcement' that
the Sioux were ready to commence
menco another war in consequence of
Sitting Bull's forced departure. Those
who were not pleased over the event
wore simply sorry. There was httlo
excitement and no hostile demons !
tion made. Many pitied the unfortu
nate chief , who WAS taken awny quite
broken hearted from Standing
Rock. Ho intended to settle
down on a piece of land which ho had
chosen about ninety miles from the
fort , nnd there devote himself to the
peaceful politics of his people. After
nil his battles and victories the chief
expected that ho could have no dif
ficulty in obtaining in fact as well as
in name the supreme chieftainship of
the Sioux nation , including the tribes
nt the Cheyenne , Spotted Tail and
Rod Cloud agencies ,
