FIB Fa FIRE S A X , A L E E FOUGHT INDIANS AND THIEVES Adventures of ji United States Senator in Early Pioneer Days , CAPTURED HIS BROTHER'S ' MURDERERS of Exciting Frontier Itomlnliconoei 111 Which Senator George L. Shoup of Idaho Was the Central Few pioneers of the west have done more to pave the way for civilization than Gcorgo Ik Shoup , at present United States senator from Idaho. Ho went to Colorado at an tarly date anil while still young participated In many of the notable events which have ftlnco become history , although Colonel Chivlngton wears the honor of having von Colorado's great Indian battle , the Sand Creek light , Colonel Shoup was actually in command of the troops at the tlmo and is eald to dcscrvo fully as much credit for the victory as Colonel Cluvington. Ho has , since his removal to Idaho in 1800 , been a conspicuous figure in state affairs and as n partial reward for his services enjoycs the highest distinction \ \ Inch his state can be stow upon any sitizon. When the civil war broke out Colonel Shoup was in Colorado. Being a man of patriotic sentiments , ho immediately offered bis services to his country , raised a company of soldiers at his own expense and was in duo time commissioned a second lieutenant and went with his command into No\v Mexico. The duly of the union soldiers was to prevent any person from passing south to Join the confederacy and also to restrain confederates from t'omtr north to cxelto sympathy and obtain aid for the southern Cause. It was also their duty to pursue and chastise marauding bunds of Indians , which then infested the country and tore- cover any stolen property which had been taken in their raids. How well he and his gallant men performed their duty , mav bo Judged from the relation of some of "tho adventures in which they participated. Upon 0110 occasion four trains of emigrants nad boon plundered by Apaches upon the Clmarron river , and Colonel Shoup was detailed - tailed to pursue them ana recover the prop erty token. Ho selected forty-eight mounted men , and , taking twenty days rations , in two hours tlmo was upon the way. On the twenty-second day , as ho suddenly turned 1 the point of a bluff , ho saw before him and I not moro than a quarter of a inllo distant nn Indian village. Hctreat was Impossible , for the Indians had discovered him. Ho real ized that a crisis was nt hand und that the chnnces wore ten to ono that his men would never got away from the spot nllvo. OrderIng - Ing his men to dismount , and putting them through a hurried drill , p.iylng particular at tention to the hollow square movement , ho awaited the approach of the Indians. Mounted upon their ponies , they carne inur ing forth in swarms and it seamed as if there were a thousand bucks approaching , As they came near , the colonel and his in- lerproter advanced upon their horses to meet them and when tho.v had arrived wltnln peaking distance , hulled them , saying hu wanted to speak with their chief. Preferred Fighting to Talking- . They didn't euro to parley , they said , and sked what ho wanted of thorn. To this question ho evuded giving direct Isr answer , saying that It was too long a story to tell in . a moment , and suggested that the chief , two < or thrco other prominent persons .nft them whom ho designated , ana twenty among of Ills bucks advance and give him a chance , ' to ,0 tn k with them. During nil this time the 10 colonel and his Interpreter were backing their horses up and gettinif nearer their own company , whllo the Indians were slowly ad- Tanclng. After discussing the matter ll'B among ' themselves tor few a moments the latter 3r concluded ( o do as the colonel desired. Select t- ing the stipulated number , they cauio forward nd when th y arrived at a point 100 yards liitaut from the company , they halted , aud demanded again to know what ho wanted. Ho told them what hi ? instructions were and that they would have to give up all the horses they had stolen. They laughed at him and at the Idea of a "boy , " as they called him , making such a demand of thorn. SWhy , " they said , "wo can kill you all In five minutes. " Well , ho couldn't help that , ho said ; they must surrender the stock. Continuing to ridicule the idea and becoming somewhat demonstrative the colonel sud denly raised his sword , which was the signal agreed upon beforehand , that his men should level their guns at them. Quick as a Hash the Indians were covered. "Now , sir , " said the colonel to the chief , "I have you in my power. Tell your men to keep back and agree to glvo up the stolen Horses. If you do not every one of you shall die. " The Indians said they could not give back the horses right away , because they had divided them up among themselves and the possessors were scatttercd through llvo villages. It would require thrco or four days to' gather them. "Never mind , " said the colonel , "I will give you tlmo. Will you glvo them up and allow my company to go undisturbed among your people and collect them ! " "Yes , " they would. "But , " said the colonel , "Idemand further of you that you and thrco of your men bo surrendered to mo as hostages and as a guaranty that you will do what you say. " This was a stunner to them , but after as surances from tljo colonel that they Would not bo harmed , they gave themselves up , in structed their fellows to return to the vil lage and not to molest the soldiers whllo they made the rounds and gathered up the stock. It is suulclcnt to sav that the plan was carried out perfectly. When the com pany was ready to depart an oath and a .pledge of friendship was exacted from the chief and his fellow captives , to the effect that they nor none of their men should pursue - sue or in any way molest the soldiers on their return Journey. They willingly took the oath und were released from captivity. This pleased the chief very much , for ho had expected that the colonel would not release - lease him until the soldiers had rcacned a point of safety , The company then departed , and upon their whole jouunoy of 500 miles to Fort Union were not once molested. Fifty- llvo days tlmo was consumed in recovering the plunder and the success of the expedi tion was duo principally to Colonel Shoup's cool and determined bearing , and to his kind treatment , not only of those whom ho held as hostages , but of all others of the trlbo. Ho attributes his success to a streak of luck which lay In the fact of his having captured the \cry head man of the trlbo ; but be that as it may , his achievement was extraordin ary und resulted m his promotion as an o nicer. Ca'ptureil Confederate Hecrulti. Another exploit of his was the capture of a number of persons who were moving south to Join the confederacy. Ono day ono of his scouts came into cam ) ) and reported news of a body of men moving southward , The col- one ) , feeling satisfied that they were seeking to Join the confederates , resolved to capture them. Taking sixteen men with him ho fol- lowed ttfom several days. Finally taking a short cut across thn country , he headed thorn off , j a ho thought , and concluded to wait quietly near the roailsiue ami see if they would not appear. His men had scarcely gone Into camp when a lookout , whom"ho had stationed on a high point near by , re ported a party in sight. Feeling satisticd ihoy were the men whom ho was after ho Immediately set about to plan their capture. Ono thing bothered him , however , Ho did not know how many were in the party , but was quite sure their number exceeded his. About this time an event happened which scorned to endanger his men , Ho saw two or thrco Indians about. There were doubtless - loss many more near by. He must first make friends with tlioin , else ho would have trou ble. Hailing ono of them , ho saw before him , and much to his surprise , one of the very bucks whom ho had subdued on the Cimar- ron. Telling him that ho was just the man whom he wanted to see and that ho had corno down expressly to tell the chief that ho had some line presents for him up where tie | remainder of his company was stationed ho finally proposed that the Indian should go the next morning at daylight into the camp of the confederates , who wore then reported as putting up lor the night at a point thrco miles away , and find out all ho could about them. lUvlng been offered seine blankets and other trinkets he agreed to the proposition and retired. Selecting a narrow gulch by the roadside well screened by bushes , and a most faVor- nblo place for making an attack on the con federates , the colonel and his men rested for the night. At daylight the next morning , stationing his men in this place of ambush , and supposing his arrangement with the In dian was working nicely , he awaited news' from the camp and the advance of the con federates. Imagine his surprise , however , when , upon looking up the hlllsido back of him , ho saw n swarm of Indians dodging hither and thither behind the rocks , and among them the vary Indian whom ho sup posed to bo in the confederates' camp. This was indeed nn unexpected state of affairs. Calling him down , obtaining an explanation and giving renewed assurances of good faith , ho finally prevailed upon him to visit the camp. The Indian started and finally re turned , waving a paper-above his head. This paper proved to bo n statement from the leader of the party , giving his number as twcnty-thrco men and ono woman , and tell ing the chict , whom the Indians said could read "heap English , " that they desired to bo friendly with him anil hoped to bo allowed to pass through his country undisturbed. The Indian also reported that the party was breaking camp when ho loft and were prob ably then upon the way. Story of the Capture. Surprised a little at the number of'the the confederates , ho resolved , noverthelcss , to effect their capture. Inspecting every gun and giving his men explicit instructions , ho turned his attention to the Indians. What should ho do with thorn ? They insisted upon aiding in the capture and proposed to sccreto themselves right where his men were stationed. Knowing this would not do , ho ilnally prevailed upon them to talco n stand in a gulch Just below him and to as sist only in ca.o ho didn't succeed. Taking the place assigned them , a perfect stillness settled over the scene , and It was supposed by the colonel that nothing further would occur until the capture was mado. But ho was again disappointed. Of a sudden ho hoard the most unearthly yells coming from the direction of the Indians , and , running to the top of the ridge , ho saw every last ono of them stripped to the brcachclout and en gaged in a genuine war danco. Ho called to them and told them that would never do. that the approaching party might hear them , turn astdo from the road and escape. He finally succeeded in quieting them and returned to his men. Presently the confederates came into view. They proceeded only a short distance , however , when they halted and were ordered by the captain to inspect their ilrcarms and have them in readiness for an attack. This the colonel could not understand. Looking in the direction of the Indians again , how ever , ho found an explanation. Thcro ho saw a number of them peering from behind rocks on the top of the rldgo , evidently in plain view of the approaching confederates. Their curiosity had got the better of them and they had determined to witness the cap ture. Ho ran toward them and motioned them back. They Ilnally got out of sight and the confederates , after debating the situation u few moments , concluded to ad vance again. Forward , in perfect form they moved , well prepared to resist an attack , It became a k question then as to which side could act the most quickly. StatlonlnK him" self so near the roadside that with one bound ho could reach the leader's horse and crowding his men In closely behind him , ho awaited , almost breathlessly their coining. In a moment moroitho head of the leader's horse had reached tlio troops and was not ton feet away. Out the colonel leaped and with ono bound had tholiorsob , the bridle and a six-shooter leveled at the rider's head. At his back stood his faithful men , their rifles leveled upon the riders beyond. "Surrender and drop your guns , " shouted the colonel. All acquiesced save ono. "Drop that gun , " echoed ono of the sol diers , "or I'll blow your head off. " The gun was dropped , and the men disarmed and placed under guard. The Indians began to Hock around and Immediately demanded a good share of the plunder aud two of the confederates , their intention being to burn them at the stake or in some other way tor ture them for some fancied wrong. After remonstrating with them for some time , the colonel put them off with the understanding that they ihould po land bring theirchief , follow him to his camp several days distant , and get the presents there awaiting them. The Indians retired and in a short tlmo the soldiers proceeded with their captives , upon their return Journey , Aa the second day waadrawlng to a close , I the Indians again appeared In vlow. The | colonel hastily ordered his men into camp , told them to got supper quickly and to be in readiness in case the Indians should show fight. On they came and it seemed as if they were a thousand strong. Supper over with , the soldiers took tholr guns and pre pared themselves for any emergencies which might arise. .Tho confederates had up to this time not been allowed their firearms. They began now to plead for them and made the most solemn promises to glvo them up when all danger was over. "No , " the colonel said , "I cannot do so. I have had them stacked up ready for you , and if occasion should require. I will glvo you permission to use them. " This seemed to case their minds , and by this time the chief and some of his braves had arrived in camp. The chief were a stern look and didn't seem to want to parley. Wanted Cnptlvos or Nothing. The colonel greeted him warmly , for lie was the very Indian from whom the colonel had taken the horses on the Cimarron , and told him ho had long wanted to see him for the purpose of giving him the presents. But no 1 the Indian didn't seem to want any pres ents Just then. Ho manded that the colonel deliver up to him the articles taken from the confederates and threoof the confederates as well. This the colonel said ho could not do. The men were In possession of the gov ernment and ho must account for thorn to it. The presents , bo sai.d , were worth much moro to them aud they would think so ns soon as they saw them. Finally succeeding in convincing him that what ho said was true , the chief wanted to know what assurance - anco ho could glvo that the presents were really awaiting them. "Send your mon ahead and lot them sco them for themselves. If they are not there , as I sav , let them como back and I will give you what you demand , " was the colonel's re ply. The chief finally consented , providing , liowcver.tho colonel would deliver him thrco of his soldiers as a pledge of good faith , The colonel turned to his men and said ho had the utmost faith in the Indians and that if any three of thorn would volunteer to go , they probably would bo treated well. Ho would not compel anyone , however. "Who is willing to do tins ! " asked ho , and ovcry man stepped forward. Selecting thnjo from the lot , ho delivered thorn to the Indians. The Indians then insisted that they bo al lowed to como In camp and mlnglo with the men. This request tbo colonel told him ho could not grant , because It would do no good and might cause his men to feel uneasy. Ho finally agreed with them , however , that the squaws could visit the soldiers for the pur pose of selling trinkets. The Indians finally wont into camp near by and a sloeplcis night was passed , half the colonel's men being kept on guard until day light. Morning finally dawned aud the Jour ney was resumed. During the remainder of the trip nothing eventful occurred. The In dians followed up closely and when they reached their destination were given their presents as promised , The thrco hostages were surrendered to the colonel , having boon royally cared for during the entire time , the Indians returned homo well pleased and the band of confederates were eventually turned over to the proper authorities. When first captured , the confederates had de nounced themselves roundly for allowing the soldiers to take them , but uftor they had heard the Indians say that they would have been robbed and killed had they proceeded a few miles further , they felt that they owed their lives to their captors ana thanked the colonel and his men In generous terms , Ailvouturc * with Outlaw * . During the war southern Colorado was In fested by bands of outlaws. They ran off horses und cattle and often killed people traveling over the country. Many efforts had been made to suppress ttiem , especially in Pueblo county , the county in which Colorado rado Springs and Pueblo were then situated , but without avail. Colonel Shoup arrived one night with his company in Colorado City , a town which was the first capital of the state and which lies between Colorado Springs and Manltou. Several houra after retiring ho was awakened from his slumber and confronted by a man who said that early in the night his place , a few miles out of town , had been raided , his horses all taken and himself fired upon in his cabin. His llfo had been saved probably by bis refusal to come out when called upon to do so. For eomo reason , alter discharging numerous shots at his cabin , they had re tired. Satisfying himself that the man told a true story , ho awakened sixteen ol his soldiers and telling them to prepare I quickly for a Journey. They started out in pursuit of the desperadoes about daylight. Ho soon found their trail and rode hard all day , hoping to overtake them. As night came on and ho had gene into camp , his look out discovered a volume of smoke curling up in the air several miles away. The colonel ordered his mon to remount and in a short tlmo arrived where the fire was. It was now dark and dismounting at a con venient distance and reconnoitcring for a time ho found them to bo the very men whom he was after , the owner of the horses stolen finding some of his horses among theirs. The outlaws were camped on a side hill and beneath an overhanging rock. There was but little chance to overcome them unless they could bo dislodged. So ho concluded to station all but one of his men nt the crest of the hill and to take a position himself , with ouo man , down the hill from thorn and behind a big rock and wait for daylight. Ho would then demand their surrender and if they refused ho would flro into the camp with his rcprators as rapidly as possible and make them bollovo there was a largo force of men behind the rock , whore ho stood , hoping that they would then fly to the top of the hill where his men would capture them. When daylight appeared and the outlaws had begun to stir in their camp , the colonel climbed to the top of the rock and demanded their surrender. Pop went a rillo and a bullet grazed the colonel's ' ear. Jumping to the ground ho and his comrade began to pour shot into the camp at a furious rate and it had the desired effect. The desperadoes scampered up the hill and the colonel and his comrade followed and aided In the capturo. . The men were all taken , two or thrco of them being killed and several wounded. Trlcil to Murder the tender. Ono of the incidents of the capture was an attempt on the part of the man who had been robbed during the previous night to kill the leader , whoso log had been broken by a bullet and who lay helpless upon the ground. The assailant stood over him and was in the act of blowing his brains out when the colonel Jumped forward and , knocking the gun upward , caused it to bo discharged in the air , "My God , what do you mean ? " the colonel asucd , "Well , colonel , if you know this man as well as I do , you would kill him , too. Ho is the sheriff of our county and ono of the worst desperadoes in the west. He has long been suspected , but this is the first convinc ing proof that has been obtained against him. " After burying the dead and properly securing - curing the captives the colonel and his men returned to Colorado City. That nlirht the Citizens resolved to lynch the captives and demanded of the colonel that they bo sur rendered to them. "No , " ho said , "I can not do that , and if you attempt any such thing 1 shall bo ooligcd to defend them with my whole company. " And they were finally dissuaded from the attempt. A little later In the evening a courier came hurrying into town from the mountains. Ho sought out the colonel and told him ho had some very bad nous for him and that ho should be pre pared for the worst , "All rlgfcV , " was the reply ; "I am used to such things ; lot's havtK it. " ' 'But , colonel , this is something quite out of the ordinary. Your brother up near Itenoslm Hill has been assassinated , and some of this very band , n part of whom you have hero in camp , did the act. " This was , indeed , bad news and the colonel was for a few moments deeply affected. The first shock over , ho asked for and obtained all the details , thus satisfying himself that the story was genuine. Becoming almost frantic with rage , ho seized both of his re volvers , walked back to his camp and sought out the wounded leader. Matching up to him ho leveled both weapons upon him and cald : "Toll me who of your band it was that killc'd my brother or you shall not llvo a moment longer. " "Colonol , I cannot , " ho replied , "because none of my band are In that part of the country. It was another baud , with whom wo liuvo no connection and for whoso acts we should not bo held re sponsible. " Hememboring his position as an officer and satisfying hluibclf that the man was telling tbo truth , ho put up his revolv ers , ( determined , turnover , to ascertain the uamo of every desperado in that country and to free the country of them. Sending for the leader of the vigilance committee he told him ho wanted the citizens to make an attack upon the cabin during the night , where the prisoners were confined , for the I ostensible purpose of lynching the men , bat for the real purpose merely of learning the name of every desperado In the country. No one should bo hurt , but their actions should bo such as would load the prisoners to think they were to hp lynched. The hour came and over 100 citizens made the attack. The prisoners felt that tholr doom was scaled. "Hold , mcnl" said the colonel. "I propose to fight for these captives. You may proba bly annihilate us all , but many of your num ber will also bo killed. Cannot wo compro mise this matter in some way ? " "No , " came sternly from many voices , and the sounds without became ominous to those within. "Wo Intend to rid this country of these fel lows , and shall begin our work right here. " "Will you not spare them if they will give you the name and present rendezvous of every ono of their confederates ? " the col onel asked. "Such proceeding will enable you to capture many of these now at larf.ro whom you cannot expect to got if you kill those men. " Reached a Compromise. Some muttcrlngs were heard , but after a short consultation the mob agreed to the proposition. ' The prisoners heard the terms and , terror stricken , readily assented. A committee of the vigilantes then entered tire cabin , took the names of all and the places where many of them might be found , and ascertained the names and rendezvous of the band which had murdered the colonel's brother. Dispersing then the vigilantes di vided into parties and in n few moments tlmo were in the saddle , scouring the coun try for the outlaws. The colonel himself und several soldiers struck south toward Trini dad , believing that ono of the men , who had nn uncle in that region , would soon make u visit to the placo. Employing two men who lived near by to watch the house , ho con tinued upon his search until two or three days luter , when , upon going into Pueblo , ho received word from the guards that a de tachment of the desperadoes had visited the house as expected. Putting his soldiers in citizen's dress ho hurried to the spot , ar riving thcro at night , und found thorn gono. Striking immediately into the road which they had taken ho lollowcd at a rapid gait. The night was dark and it was necessary to frequently dismount and cxamino the ground to assure himself that the men had not turned asido. Thus he rode all night long and when morning dawned the footprints of the horses ahead were getting very plain , and the colonel felt satisfied ho was gaining upon the outlaws. At noon , concluding ho was very nearly upon them and being very familiar with the country , ho resolved to cut across a rld'jo to save n detour of several miles , hojlnj ho might in this way head them off. Hurrying ever the hill und going down the other slope and into the road again he found the riders had not passed. Satisfied they would soon appear , ho rode leisurely along , keeping a sharp lookout be hind , and presently the horsemen rode in sight. They gained upon him and us ho came to a small stream und halted his men to allow thorn to water their horses , the robbers over took him. There were six or seven of them and as they rode into the stream the colonel engaged them in conversation , Captured Ilia Itrothor'i Slnyori. This was his opportunity. Moving up near the loader , and suddenly seizing his 'horso by the bridle , ho leveled his revolver at the outlaw's head , and demanded his sur render. His men , seeing his movement , had , quick as a flash , covered the remainder of the gang and obliged them to surrender quickly. Immediately disarming and search ing thorn , ho found among other things upon their person , a memorandum book und several little trinkets which had belonged to his brother , Conducting them to n place where they might rest a moment , ho started down the stroatn to find n good camping spot , aud had boon gene but a few moments when ho was startled by a volley of rillo shots , coming from the direction of his men. Hurrying quickly back , ho found the robbers dead. They had made a bold dash for liberty and had been shot down by the soldiers. For this act of his men , an attempt was after ward made to indict the colonel , but nothing over came of it , the testimony plainly show ing that the killing was Justifiable. In connection with this raid , an incident of unusual interest happened. Shortly before the capture was effected , a faithful Mexi can , who was ono of the colonel's party , had asked permission to skirmish a little on his own account. His request was granted and ho started out. After traveling several miles ho came to a small canon. Thinking this might bft n place In which the robbers could hide with comparative safety , ho proI I ceedcd to follow its winding course and tri short time was rewarded by the appearaiu of smoke from n campflro in the distanc Moving cautiously forward , ho saw as 1 peeped over the crest of a little knollth head of n man , who seemed to bo bo bus1 } engaged over the fire. Getting upon h hands and knees , ho crawled stealth ! around the camp to a place where ho wou bo fairly well screened by nn undergrowth' ' pines. When he had reached a point in moro than fifty yards away , ho peered o' ' and saw a man whom ho recognized as tl leader of the desperadoes. He raise his gun and fired and the man dro ped dead. Startled by the repo a companion suddenly jumped up and ho w/ / killed. No others appearing , the MoMci ventured clown to the camp and cor.cludh to produce to Colonel Shoup the best poss ble evidence that ho had freed the count ! of the ringleader of the band , ho cut off tl man's head and bore It to Colonel Shoup. Those of the desperadoes who had be < loft at Colorado City fared better than thca however. They were taken to Denver ni afterward escaped from Jail , but they t left the region of their late exploits at never again troubled the settlers , The bra1 deeds of Colonel Shoup had made his uati a terror and they never ventured to como contact with him again. After the war Colonel Shoup retired private Hfo r.nd was oloeted to the first co stltutional convention In Colorado. In 18 ho removed to Montana and u few inontl later to Salmon City , Idaho , where ho e gaged in mercantile pursuits und stock ral ing and where ho has ever since rcsidt Prior to his election to the United Stat senate ho was governor of the stato. Ho * a gentleman of quiet , unassuming mnnnci very agreeaolo in conversation and is wi preserved.
