THE

ACME OF SACRIFICE.

nxv

Hravo Man Shot Himself to Sure the Lives of Ilix Comrades. Is a man ever justified in taking his own life? Ask that question, says a Helena (Mont.) correspondent, of the few brave men who are left of the little band that went out upon tho trajjic Yellowstone expedition of 18(53, and then ask them if blood was ever more nobly shed than when Henry T. Geery placed pistol to his temple and sent his own soul into eternity that, he might buy a chance of safety for his comrades and friends.

It was a scene that no man can fittingly describe, that no man who witnessed it can forget- Fifteen bravo and well-armed men had started out from JJannacii City in the early days of April to search

for

gold, and near the I

middle of May, with their numbers sadly reduced by death from the arrows and bullets of Indian braves, they had only one thought.—to light their wiiy back to civilization or die. as befitted the high code of chivalry recognized by the pioneers of the west. They might have made a dash for it and cut their way out by very boldness, but to have done that would have been to abandon Henry Hell, who was fearfully wounded, but for whom thero yet remained a hope. So ho wn« placed upon a horse and the to little cavalcade moved upon its forlorn way. The Indians were all around them, waiting for a chance to rush in and give the finishing* blow with the least possible danger to themselves.

They had moved twenty miles since daybreak, slowly picking their way

tliey halted to give Hell needed rest and prepare supper. 1'iekets were thrown out and the other men had begun to unpack, when one named York gave the alarm that Indians were approaching. Each man sprang for his rille, when suddenly a shot was heard in their very midst. A glance atdeery tohl the story. With a deadly pallor upon his face, but with head erect, he stood leaning upon his gun. He said: '"Itoys, I have foolishly ended my life." In his haste he had grasped his rifle by the muzzle, the hammer had caught in a blanket and had been drawn back, and the ball hail struck him in the breast, shattering his shoulder and making a mortal wound.

His comrades helped him to a sitting posture. He then calmly opened his fihirt and. pointing to the wound, told them that he could have only a few hours to live. "Hut that is too long for you to remain here," he added. "The. sun is going down and the Indians will be upon you. It would be impossible to defend yourselves in this place." Then he turned his eyes to ('apt. Stuart and said: "Jim, toll the boys I'm fatally wounded."

His comrades saw what was on his mind and begged him to take no thoughts of them, except to make him as comfortable as thev might during

from him would only hasten the inevitable end. No one made the attempt, but with tears in their eyes and forgetting the dangers hedging them in, his comrades attempted to reason with him, and to persuade him that with help he might pull through, as Hell was already doing. Hut he knew as well as they that the end was a matter of a few hours at the

t. 1 irning again to Stuart ho Ui^,,.-.! h.iu t» tell the boys how desperates was his case, ami "fapt. Jim/' with tears in his eyes and a choking voice, could only say: "Never mind, (loerv, we will stand by you: all the Indians in the world couldn't drive us awav."

The decision of this plain frontiersman was made, and nobody could shako his heroic, resolve. "I know you would all stand by me." he said, "and die for mi*. And remember that I am not committing suicide. It is only for a short time, in any ease. I am only shortening my life by a few hours to prevent you losing yours. Co,l knows I don't want to die I fear death, but I have a hope beyond it."

He held the muzzle of the weapon to his breast, "llemember where I am buried—this gorge in the mountains. Describe it to my friends if you live to reach them, (.tod bless you all! I must die, and in time for you to bury me and escape bofore dark."

He was about to pull the trigger when the voice of Stuart ca^e from the group of palefaced men. who could have calmly faced anything but this: or ("od sake, Geery, don't but, if you must, don't shoot yourself there. It will only prolong your agony. Tlace your pistol to your temple."

The change was made. "rod bless you all and take von safely out of this.*' The men turned and walked away none of them eorM face the linal seenr. The linger came down \ip the trigger, the cap exploded, but there was no shot. Sam T. Mauser, afterwur.l governor of Montana, stepped forv ,ml and said: *'(ioery, for God's sat e, desist this is a warning."' To this he merely made answer: "1 don'4 know what in think of it: it never snapped

before

Again cocking the weapon lie engaged a moment in silent prayer, again pressed his linger, and the deed was done.

The men gathered around his dead body. Tears were within the eyes all, and tome could not speak for the sobs th:*.t shook them. "Waiting some half hour," says Gov. Mauser, "after he had drawn his last breath we buried him as lie desired, in his soldier overcoat, We had scarcely finished his burial when the pickets announced that the Indians were within gunshot, yet there was no tiring. After our last s:»d duty was finished Mim' directed us to pile limbs and brush on the grave and burn them so as to conceal it from the Indians and prevent them from digging poor Geery up for his scalp and clothes. We then gathered our things together as best wo could and packing up moved on in a single tile out of the gorge, camping or rather hiding in the sagebrush some miles away."

The sacrifice was not made in vain. The little party made its way back to Ihinnoek Citv without further lost* oi life.—X. Y. Times.
