For the cutleraeo. of the late 70's t finer range lay under the yellow sun tiia the blue Joint graW1 iSuntry In the valley i the llrokcn lion * In fiMrthwcst Nebraska. 1 was a wonderful VtfrflnB pralrlo where or might ride from 'tnS ' time that the dec blue ot th : eastern sky changed to rot pink with the dawn , straight on until tti soft volcol love nuking of the prilrle chlcker clocked the closing day , with never a trn to follow and never a track to cron , savi perhaps , where an occasional group ot rougt hewn log buildings and a wide flre-gimr marked the headquarters of some embry cattle king. The Juicy , sweet Jointed eras that grow so thick and strong , swung In o the traveler's track to that few could to when a horst had paswil , and only an e > perlenccd plainsman could follow the thirty hour-old trail of a wagon. It grew so ta ! that the spreading seed tops brushed th bellies of the ponies and caught In the itlrru housings. In the- spring the dandelions shot the I heads up Into the sunlight and stretched the ! tltndcr necks , vicing In rapid growth wit the rank grnt-s. They died nnd gave ovc the struggle to myriads of slngla-pMalle roses that dotted the deep green pralrlo wit spot3 ot pink and white. In turn ths rose gave up the fight , and delivered over th ciupa to the blub bells , and when the ho August mm Uuchod the tops ot the sturd grasa with bronze , the spider lilies came I rcyal purple and carried the banner of th flowers to the fore. After that the Septem ber frosts broke thd prldo of the stllt-nckc < graej/ and turned It dull and brown. Th cowboys rounded up their cattle and brnnde the calves. The ranchmen got In their winter tor supplies and turned elf th extra men who rode whooping Into Plum Creek or Ncrtl Plitto or Kearney or Orand Island , or evei out to Sidney or Cheyenne , to loaf away th winter , gambling nnd carousing as the ; waited for th ? spring round ups. Then came the sleepy , hazy days of Indlai summer , when the pralrlo chickens , gntherei Into Immense flocks for t'.ie fall migration tried their wings In long flights over th dun hollows ; ye-t hesitated to Ic.ivo their summer mor homes ; when the bread line dccpenei In the backs of the black-tailed deer , am th6 red brown of the antelope changed t the lustrslcss hue of brick dust. It was i tiresome , monotonous country to a hill man but for the man born on the western levels and reared with no steeps nnd slopes to hetlg htm In It was fair as a garden cf the Lord. In this valley of the Ilroken Uow the > cattle tlo thrived and Increased. The business wa new , prices were high , and fortunes cann quickly nnd grew with wonderful rapidity The ranchmen turned out thc.lr stock with out cara and rounded them up , spring am fall , sure that cachJsvould get his own. Dit the march ot the grandest grand army wa westward , and trqubli trooped with the van guard. For a long-time t'ne cattUmen hc-h exclusive possession cf the valley of th Uroken Bow , their tltlo disputed only nov and then by straggling bands of Sioux. The : were a sturdy set , ajid held thrir own , b ; hard riding and straight shooting ngalns such Interferences , , < untll nt last Gen cral Crook chased the redskins across tin Nebraska line. Crazy Horse went Into a llm Ited retirement , and the Indians mumble * their complaints 'to ' the buttes of the bai lands. Hard In Uije Wake of the Indians cam those the ranchman could not stop. Thcs were men ot their own kind , hard of nnvscl and fearless of heftrt , the restless foreloopsrs marching In front 'of civilization to reclaln the land from thb 'savagw , nnd open It uj for settlement wfildh should force them 01 until they were caught nnd crushed betweei the two when the' eastern and western fron tlersVcanie' ' together. , < M ' , i " " * ' These men knew only fwa things , lam and how to hold lt. > They shot as stralgh and rode as hard an the best man on tli Broken now , and from the * first It was fore doomed that the cattUmen should move on Thosa foreloopers saw the valley of tin Broken Dow , and chose It. They tested tin land , turned up four feat of rich black loam and stopped to build houses. They broki out the tough bunch grass sod and bull themselves houses of It. They filed In the ! : claims under the homestead , pre-emption am timber claim laws , and got the moral forci of governmental tltlo behind them In theli efforts to dislodge the cattlemen. The ranch men made a bird struggle. At the first the ] misjudged the temper of the settlers , am sent them warnings to move on. Then the : misjudged the courage of the settlers , am : rlcd to move them on. Doth efforts failed But there was many n flght which was nevei recorded , nnd many n man was buried 01 the prairie , who gave up his life stoutly con tending for his right to a share In the publli domain. Two of these sattlers were William Mitch ell nnd Whltfleld Kctcham , known amonp ho Broken Bow ranchers as Old Man Mitch- ill nnd Whit Ketcham , They came to Ne braska from the flat lands of middle Michi gan , where they lett their families while hey went out to make > a new home In the 'reer ' country. Up beyond Grand Island , In the heart of the Broken Bow valley , they chose as line a section as ever lay out of doors and settled , , Each man pre-empted and each homcsteadcd a quarter section. They milt a sod liouso In the middle with a cor ner In each quartcf , so that when It came time to prove up they could swear , with lome grounding of fact , that there was a louse on each claim. They went across ths section line and tree-claimed half a section nore. They broke out their ton acres each on the timber claims , and went down to the Iroken Bow nnd got cottonwood slips to start ho first year's work. Then they got ready or the winter , A sod stable was put up for heir horoa , and hay was got In for feed , Flro guards , wide and sure , were broken out , DO that no chance-dropped torch In the tin ier-dry grass should catch them unawares and leave only a smouldering heap to mark heplace of their effort. After that they valted for spring. Of the cattlemen In the Broken Bow valley it that tlmo sevcrAl had powerful nutfits.

J2-d2U N. P. FE1L. Secretary. combination In the valley was that ot th < Green brother ? , Bill , Bob , I , I * , nnd John I. I1. Orcen was sheriff of his county , J fact that , with many ranchmen , added i great deal ot weight to his dictum. Tin Greens were among the most active of UK cattlemen In opposing the encroachment or their range ground of small settlers. The cattlemen never paid n cent to the gov. eminent for their occupation of the public domain. They assumed that they had r i right to let their cattle range ns freely as they would. They took up the land where their ranch buildings wcro , but that was oil , Mltcholl and Kctcham were not the firs settlers In the Broken Bow valley , and tin Greens and their men hid had practice It running llttlo fellows out when the Mlchlgai men filed on their claims. Mitchell am Kctcham had beard nbut the tactics of tin ranchmen as they were going Into the val ley , and no they \\crc not eurprl&d , not lorn after they had got their claim shanty tur nlshcd , to receive n visit from n clvlll ] spoken cowboy , who advised them , Just oui of pure disinterested friendship , and sold ] for their own good , not t ! > settle there , bill to go somewhere else whcro the cattlemer were not so strong , and where they dldn'i care so much abut the country. "You so , " said the cowboy , "I reckon thli la about na good range c Jim try as there Ii around here , an' the boys sort o' rely or kcepln * It among thclrselve ? . Maybe It's wrong. I ain't n-sayln' as It Is or as II Isn't , but If you fellers do stay here there ! sure be trouble. " "Sco hero , young feller , " answered Ketcham "you tell the man Vm sent you fcoro thai Mitchell on' me cal'clato to stay. If thli hero country Is good fr them fellers' stocl * It's good for ourn , au' I guesn they ain't any of It too good. Wo nln't a-goln' to run lie ranch , but wo bo goln' to do f.mi farmln' , * ' ' stock an" 1 an we're goln' to have some , riither guero this Is about the place. Aln'l It. Bill ? " he asked , turning to Mitchell. "That's what I were thinking , " answered the old man. "Well , I was Just tellln" ye " began the cowboy again , "An * now you can go bick an' tell them , pat In Mitchell , "we'll be glad to see anybody aa comes along , an * will treat 'em square an' ' glvo 'em the best wo'vo geL There's rooni enough hero for everybody , an' no danger o' ' nobody beln' crowded. So Ketcham an' me don't see no advisability In movln' on JUB ! yo ! . " "Well , by h 1 , " ejaculated Bob Green , when the cowboy roported. "They've got nerve. " The Michigan men sat tight that winter and did not turn out any stock. In the spring , however , tfcoy got some cows that wcro with calf nnd turned them out to rang ? . They branded nil their slock with a big W. M. , and these belonging to Ketcham had n letter - tor K under the- other letters. The brand was en the left fore shoulder , easy to ue , and cat'lly recognized. They had taken the pre vention to get It registered at Lincoln , and knew It did not conflict with the marks owned by any ot the big cattUmen. They went about their work for the summer wondering when actlvo hostilities on the rart of the ranchmen would begin. They meant to Join In the fall round-up cf the big fellows , or If that were not permitted , they were willing to pay R reasonable price for the work of the cow- boyi , who were sure to bring up their cattle In the big general herd. For the winter thsy meant to keep their stock up , and after their corn and oats had been put In they set about getting In the hay for the winter's feed. Mitchell and Ketcham found that they had too much to do on thelr claims to Join the round-up , and so they trusted to luck to get their stock , sending word to the Greens that they wouU pay for the work done for them. Hut In the round-up the ranchmen found their first good opportunity In get In a blow nt the settlers without resorting to a show of force. They simply did no work for them Whenever any of the Mltchell-Ketclmm stock was found In the drive It was cut ou and 'turned away from the bunch again. I was possible , too , that the cowboyo were no always particular to see that the calves wen with their mothers. The-'MIchlgan men goi no stock from the round-up , nnd they hac to make a llttlo round-up of their own or lose their cattle. In spite of the care of the cattlemen the Mltchell-Ketclmm stock hai bsen worked together a good deal ; that wns nn unavoidable result of the big round-up and it didn't take the two men long to gel In their cattle. But the private round-up gave the cattlemen a chance for which they had been wanting. It enabled them to call tbo Michigan men cattle thieves , and on the prairie that crime ranks next to horse stealIng - Ing and Is punished similarly. Every round-up misses a few cows. If they are picked up In the next round-up , their calves are likely to have been weaned , ant ownership cannot be determined ns It Is with the llttlo cclvcs , by tbo fact that they follow their mothers. Thcso unbranded yearlings are mavericks , and to brand one of them without the authority of His manacers of a round-up is a form ot cattle stealing known then as maverlcklng , but now cilled rustling * altering a brand is r.o worse. As snon n < the Green boys found out tlut Mltcnoll ami Ketcham were rounding up their own stock , they started a story that the Michigan men wcro hunting out and maverlcklng the stock lost In the big round-up. That called for a demonstration in 'force. ' Half n dozen cowboys from John Groan's ranch were sent down to Mitchell's one clay to warn the Michigan nic-n to quit thp coun try or take the consequences. They did not surprise' ' the new settlers. When the cow boys came up to the sod house Ketcham was Inside , but Mitchell was out In th ? yard working somq cotlonwood logs that had boon hauled upfrom the Broken Bow for the winter's firewood. He had his rlfla with him , for ho had been expecting some such encounter. The cowboy who was at the head of the gang sung out to the old man and told him tli3 message they had bocn tent to deliver. The old man poked the- muzzle of his repeating rifle ever thei top rf the pile ot wood that served as a breastwork for him. and replied : "You tell John Grtfln that ho can't run none of hla d d wlzzlcs on me. " Something In the old man's bearing mndo the cowboys believe him. There were men In the gang who wcro ready to flght for the slightest cause , and who would have enjoyed Immensely running the oM man elf their claims. They valued tholr own lives as noth ing compared with the Joy of a flght , but down In their hearts they rcspect.'d the < old man's bravery and they hesitated to begin. The cowboy who had brought the mesjago made one last attempt. "Wo nln't anxlcus for no trouble , " ho said , "and we ain't looking to do you fellers no harm. But you'vo got to clear out flrot or lart , and It'll save a lot o' trouble- you go first. Me and the boys lioro hain't got nothln' again ary o' yo , but them's orders , an' there'll mire be a big row If you don't go. " "You toll John Green , " answered the old man , fingering his rifle , "that Bill Mitchell ain't scared of him nor his whole d d outfit. He can't run none ? of hla wlzzles on mo , not while I know It , " The cowboya rode off and the Michigan men prepared to flght. They waited a long time , several weeks , before It came. In the meantime Bob Green had gone down to Grand Island to turn off a bunch of cattlo. When the cattle had bon chipped ho wont tea a justice of the peace and swore out a war rant for the arrest ot Mitchell and Ketcbam on a charge of cattle dealing. The proceed ing almost paralyzed the justice , who had never beard of one of the Greens taking such a peaceful measure for getting rid of a cattle thief. But Bob know what ln > was about. A healthy ecntlmont was beginning to grow down along the railroad about tlio high-banded methods of the cattlemen , and ho feared : that If his cowboys killed Mitchell and Ketcham trying to drive them out of the country there might be some truble In town. But If the Michigan men were killed whllo resisting arrest for cattle stealing , no question could over be asked. Bob was his brother's deputy , and ho took the warrant to t < erve hlmeelf. He took a dozen cowboys to make the sherlft'g posse , and his brother Bill went along to eeo tbo fun , Mitchell's sod house waa on the open pralrfo. There wawi't so much as a plum buBli , behlng which a man could nholter himself , for miles , and Gre-eii made the fatal mistake of going In the daylight. Perhaps lie didn't believe the Michigan men woula reslrt co desperately as they did , but some it the cowboys , who had been there before , knew ttioro would bo a glorious flght. Both Mitchell and Ketcbam wore In tbe louse , and tbe door wa barred when Bob 3reen and hl > gang got there , They bad jeen too alert la their watch to be caught not rt-ady , Bob Green thumped on the dee and nhoutMt "Open up , Mitchell , lei me In. " "Wh t do you want ? " asked the old mati "I've got n warrant for you nnd Ketcham , ' "What fort" "Cattlo altallng , niATcrlcklngj" tehoutev Green. " ' lie and know It. Yoi "U' a dl , you clear out ot hero quick , or yc-u never will. " Ore-en's answer was to shoot through th < door with his heavy six-shooter. H wns t foolish act , and his last one. Koreswlnf that they might bo besieged , Mitchell am Kctcham had mndo portholes In the Bides of tholr sod house through which they mlgh shoot wltSi very little danger to themselves Green didn't know It , but all the tlmo he was himmcflng on the door with hU gun nnd shouting to Mitchell to let him In Kotchnm wns covering him with his rifle through ono of these portholes. The Install that Green tAot through the doer Kctchan flrcd. and Grtfen foil In n heap whcro he ha < stood. The shot surprised the posse so that for an Instant they sal perfectly still. Then , with a whoop , BUI Green Imped from his pony and ran nt the door , lip hadn't gone five stops before n single shot from Inside the sod liouso dropped him dead on luc ground. The cowboys jumped off their horses nnil got behind them for ahcllw. They drew their cuns to shoot , nnd then for the first tlmo noticed that Inside the glass ot the ono small window a heavy plank shutter had been put up. It wag a sure enoiifsCi fight , with th ; odds all against them ; but the death of the two Greens undo them crazy with ragr , and they were ready for anything. As long as they stood their distance nnd mndo no move as if to approach the house there was no sound from within. But It wns nn ominous Rlloncr\ They stood n mlnutp or so nnd discussed what they had better do , H was decided that a ru&li was the best thing. U might confuse the men Inside nnd win. Four men tried It. Two fell before they had made thre j steps. The oUicra reached the door nnd were shot down over Bob Green's body us they beat Impotently on the door. It was a frightful loss , and the remaining cowboys fell back out of rnngo lo talk It over. They knew that It they went back to the Gre.'fi ranch then without killing Mitch ell nnd Ketcham they would have to flght with the furious brothers themselves , nnd they determined to try one moro schemji. Two ot them rode awny" , ns If going for ri- inforcementEi. Once for enough away so that they thought the men Ino'do the cod house couldn't see what they were doing , they circled and came back In the rear of the house , whcro there was no window. They thought thnt If they could get up to the house quietly , they could cut n hole In tlio wall big enough to shoot through and so got at their rnemles. They knew that the sod walls were more than a foot thick. It was useless to try to shoot through them. They dismounted a hundred yards from the bouse nnd crept up with the stealth of a Brule Sioux. And within ton yards of the IIOUM one of them was shot In the head ns ho crawled. The other rose to run and got a bullet through his back thnt stopped him short. Then the con boys who were left concluded lo give It up. But they wanted the bodies of : helr dead. Ono of them took a whlto hand kerchief , nnd , holding It In his hand , started to walk toward the door where Bob Green , lay. A bullet singing past hlo car warned him to stop. Ha walked back a few steps , unbuckled hla belt nnd took It off. throwing down his gun. With his hands up nnd holding the handkerchief between them , ho started up again. A bullet nearly took the handkerchief out of his hand , nnd ho gave It up. The half dozen men , mad with rage , but frightened for once by the terribly ac curate shooting of the mwi they had tried tb kill , rode off to tell I. P. and John Green of th ? awful results of the effort to arrest Mitchell nnd Kctcham. Tha Michigan" men watched the cowboys rldo out of sight , nnd then took down their barricades nnd came out. Every weapon and every bit of ammunition the dead men had they took Inside the house. Then they dug a dtch : nnd burled the eight men together. They put a stake over thei graas to mark it , for they did not expect to live themselves to tell where It was. It Ecema nevsr to hava occurred to them to quit. They had a fair chance to get out of the country , but they would not take It , Their fighllns blood -was up , and no man shall say what devil 11 wa's made them forget thelf famine's fn Michigan' forget all they were rlsk'ng by-slaying , forget everything but that the other two Greens woujd be back with n band of cowboys to kill them , and that they must stay to bo killed. They cared for their stock as usual , and got their IIOUSEI ready for siege. Thou they went to bed , knowing that the attack could not come that night. John Green wag a man of ungovernable temper , but I. P. was not demonstrative. Some of the cowboya who saw these men when the news wa ? told them of the killing of their brothers raid afterward that Jo.hu Green seemed fairly stunned by the calamity , mid that I. P. raved like a madman. Neither had dreamed of the possibility of such an ending ot the affair. The cowboya who came back from Mitchell's got to the Green ranch In the evonlng It was a fourtesn-mlle ride. All that night John Green paced back and forth In front of his houao and I. P. shut him self up In his room apd cursed. In the morn ing every man on the ranch was trjinmoned , and moro than thirty strcng they rod ? out to avenge the death of tholr fellows. John Green rode apart from the rest , silent nnd alone. Hla brother , grown calm overnight , questioned the cowboys who had rosn the shooting. "Shooting's too good for those fellows , " ho said onco. "By God , they shall hang. We'll take 'em alive ! " It was easy to say , but not a cowboy In the party believed It could "be dene. There was scarcely a man In the crowd who did not believe , lee , that the two Michigan mon , sheltered aa they were by tholr scd house would be able to beat off th ? whole posse , and It wan freely estimated 'that half of thsm would bo killed. Even the most reckless cowboy doesn't want to ride Into such a death "trap as that was , and more thin one of the party wished himself well out of It. John Green , riding alone , solved the [ iroblem. If Mitchell and Ketcham wore ; olng to butcher like ravages they should be limited llko savages. Curiously enough , the inly element of defense that the two settlers Imd overlooked enabled Green to carry out Ills threat. They had put a thatch roof on .Iielr sod house , and not even when preparing Lo stand a slego had they thought to cover it with dirt. After the long dry fall It ivculd burn llko the grass of the pralrlo , and lot the most determined man could stay In : he house when It got \\ell under way. Won- Jering If they had thought to protect tholr oof , John Green rode until ho could see .hat they had not. Then ho ( old the others ila plan of attack. Twelve cowboys were to undertake to flro : ho roof. They wcro to rldo thrco on each ildo of the house ; Each was ta take a long .orch of pralrlo grass. Only ono would have o reach the house to make the plan succeed. I'ho roof was so low that a man could easily .brow his burning torch on to It from his torso's back. The twa men In the housa : &uld not possibly defend all four sides at > nco. They were sure to hold their flro aiitll the men wereIn short range , and If ho torches were concealed until the last ush began the settlers would not have tlmo o pick them all off. Gren would not order > ne of his men to go. But although they lid not relish It , they volunteered at his ; all. Ho himself sat on his horse In front if the house with the- rest of his men to vatcli the door , for they made eure that ho two men would run out and ba shot If iced bo rather than dlo caged up In a burn- ng trap , Two shots from Green's gun was he signal for the charge and no man was - > light hlg torch until the first had been Ired. Ired.U was a savage scheme , but It worked , Plio Michigan men were not prepared for hat sort of slr&tegcm , and when the four- ilded rush began their aim lost Its accuracy. They killed two men , but twice they hit the > onles. And then It was over , The torch vas tin-own and the cowboya wore running iway. At first , when the two men realized vlmt had happened , they had a wild hope hat they could , tear the flro out ot their oof , but before- they could tot at it they ealUed from the roar of the flro ( hat It was lopoless. They had lost no much tlmo at bat that their enemies had taken the chance o get well out of Tango of their rifles , and lioy could not have even the poor satisfaction t killing again bc-foro they themselves died horrible death. They thought they rould stick It out and die that way , but lie smoke and heat as the roof and the , -oodon inside sheathing of the walls burned , were so terrible that no man could endure : , and they threw open their heavy door and au out with only their rlflea In their hands , xpectlne to Bhoot and be shot. They ran out to meet John Green riding at -hem , waving his open hand shouting to thorn neb ( o shoot , that they should h .v A fair Irlfll. U was the words "fair trUI" ( hit overcame tlicm. They brought Kick out ot A past thnt had teemed too tar off to remember , the days ot Michigan , where such tilings as had happened , In the. few hours wcro Im possible. They throw down their rifles and hold up their hands. After thnt I. 1 * . Green came up with the handcuffs thnt belonged to him AS sheriff And Mitchell nnd Kclctmm were Ironed band nnd toot. Their own tenm was hitched to their own wagon nnd they were strapped to the sent. Then all their Block was tinned out nnd tholr stacks wcro fired. They began to ro.tllto that "fair trial" might mean ona thing In Michigan nnd another In Nebraska , nnd to regret giving up their rifles. The cowboys picked up their wounded nnd burlo.l tbo two dead men. Then they formed around the wagon nnd the procession started , but not , ns Mitchell had hoped , for a little \\lill , toward Ornnd Island. They beaded toward tbo llrokcn How , only n few miles nwny. The Michigan men undtrstood then what \\nt going to happen , Hut only n part ot It. As they moved along John Green rode on one side ot tbe wagon And I , 1 * . on the other , just nbrcasl of tbo scat where the two men were. Neither of the Greens spoke tor a long time , nnd tbe parly was Hearing tbo Uroken Hew , when John Green , leaning forward , pressed tbe mur.zln of his six-shooter Into MltchcU'g right hip and fired , saying : "There , a n you , bow do you like that ? That's only n Mtnplo of what you'll RCti" Without a word I. I' , drew his gun nnd shot Kotchnm through the thighs. A cowboy rode up nnd shot the old man In the arm. Another sent n bullet through one of his feet. Half a dozen bullets were fired Into Kctcham , each man who shot being careful not to lilt a vital put. The two men , fainting from lora of blood , and utterly helpless , sat with out a sound uniting for the end. As the < wagon paused the flrit llttlo cottonwood brush at the edge of the > Broken Dow bottoms toms , one ot the cowboys noticed thnt Mitchell's clothing was smouldering.
