There was ore thing, however, that could be sald of him—he alwavs tried to obey orders implicitiy. He gencratly blundered a number of times while making the attenmipt. but the intent was right and that covs ers a muititude of sins much wore serfous in nature than were blunders. : : - The Third cavalry was in the Wyoming country in the Elkkorn creek region. There had been a good deal of trouble with the Nez Perces and L troop had been Kept on the jump most of the time for 4 month L. troop was Hans' outfitt. There had been one constant succession of scoutings. It had been necessary to send small squads in half a dozen different directions at one and the same time, The trumpeter had been forced to stay .with the main body, which was not a very big main body at that, at all times. He had been In evervthing in which the treop was engaged, but the idea of sending Hans out on a reconnaisance where cooiness and the subtlety of the devil were necessary for safety was the last thing that ever entered the head of the troop commander. - One day, however, one of the coldest days of the sec--ond winter month, it became necessary to send a scouting party to investigate the rumor of the approach of a band of savages. Now it happened that the whole band was fagged out, and this in a nutshell is the reason why Hans Mueiler found himself for the first time in his life in a position of acute responsibility. He was ordered by Capt. Roberts to proceed with Sergeant Nelson and two privates northwest until something was “felt™ or until the ®ergeant was satisfied that a wrong report had been turned into the camp. : . When tlie little body set out the fatigue of the indi. vidual members of the troop showed that it was not. 80 to speak. strong enough to keep these same individuals from giving Hans a send-off. Hans had a carbine and a revolver. His trumpet was hanging up on a peg. One of the bystanders said to the sergeant in command, “Look out for Hams if you happen to get in a scrimmage. The first thing you know he'll forget himself and he'll try to blow ‘retreat’ on his carbine. . You may lose one man if Hans puts his mouth to the wrong end of the barrel.” ' et b - - Then they said a few other things to Hans. He was

Stiek! He would show them if he was ouly given a chanee, . L | Sergeant Peter Nelson was an old and tried cam. paigrer, indeed, but that day he had made a mistake. He led his three men straight into an ambush. There was & score of painted Nez Perces straight across their track The Indians had very little cover, but they usad ft 8o artfully that the old sergeant had actually thousht that the bit of embankment and the few scaltered bowl‘ders did not offer cover epough to conceal a jack rabbit The first intimation of the Indians’ presence was a ‘yvolley -~ Sergeant Nalson went to the ground with a wound in his side. One of the privates, shot through the shoulder and leg. fell with him. The two men crawled behind a couple of rocks and secured temporary shelter. At the savage volley Hans Muellér's heart went to his throat. With the other private, who, like Hans, was unhit, he fell back about 40 vards and went behind an ade quate cover. There for five minutes they exchanged shots with the reds, who, in accordance with Indian cus tom, would not charge across the open, but depended rather upon being able to pick off the soidiers and then to go forward without danger and take the scalps. Hans Mueller folind that he could use his earbine. - His heart went down in his throat. He looked around him and saw that there was some chance of holding the savages off for hours. Cut beyond he saw his two stricken comrades. They were not dead. He knew that because he saw them move and occasionally weakly raise themselves and send & shot in the direction of the red fos. Hans said to hirmself, “Those men must be brought back here.” Then he handed his carbine to his comyade ard with it his belt snd ammunition. “You may need these” he said, “if those fellows hit me.” Then he jumped ovar the rock in froni of him and with his long. shambling, ungainly stride re made for the side of Sergeant Nelson. The Indians puniped at him. The balls whizzed by his

His bearing was mililary to a degree. notwithstanding the fact that he lmped painfully. His shoul‘ders were thrown back and his head erect and carried with & probably conscious air of pride. The limp in the galt, however, was sc¢ marked that an observer, i he gave the subject any thought at all, would know that this negro would never run a step in his lfe i The name of the Fort Myer visitor was and ia Henry Johunson, one time of Troop K, Ninth Unlted States cavalry. It certain of the soldier officers and enlisted men of the colared outfit of Uncle Sam had known that the thought that this lHmping exmoldlér would pever run again had entered into an onlocker's mind, he probably would have saild: “"No, Johnson never will run agsin, but it he could have kept up the galt that he once showed these 100.vard sprinting recosds that wea hear so much of in this day of sports would be headed by another and the name of the holder would be Henry Johnson ™ ' “There isu't the slightest doudbt among cavalry officers who have jong memorles that the world's champion sprinter was lost to track fsme when Henry Johnson, colored trooper went lame 25 years sgo. _

In the month of November, 1879 a band of Ute Indl ans surrounded a small command of 'nited States regu. lars, composed for the greater part of Troop K. Ninth colored cavalry. There was for a while the heaviest kind 'of fighting, and at close quarters. Finally the reds retreated a little way, but stil held their cordon of braves intact. The temiporary withdrawal for a short distance did not give the tronps a breathing spell, for they st 1o work at vnce to intrench. They succeeded, with their horses and impedinents and by a vigorous uge of the shovel in forming a3d in throwing up a fairly strong defense bulwark After tils had been done smesdt parties, under cover of the riftes of their comrades, went out to a considerable distance {rom the entrenchme® and there dug rifle pitg at intervals in a circle about Uwe inner and stronger defense : _ Into these well-covered rifle pits guards were droppm with a plentiful supply of ammuaition and such little water and provender as could he spared. There w3a one man in each pit. They weve absolutely protected from the front and they were put there to perform tiw usual useful duty expected wie%s troops are thus b eleged. Unless the Utes actualivy succeeded in getticg into these pits, the men there were safer than wers those bebind the extemporized fortification in the centet. After the pickets had been placed in the pits and tre fatigue and posting parties had returned to the central point of defense, the Indians drew in.

Henrv Johnson, col ored private of Troop K, had only three holes in him, but his sprinting days have been over for a quarter of a century.
