HUERFANO BILL.

By OY WARMAN,

{Copyright, 1897, by the Author.] CHAPTER I.

The roar and rumble of distant thun- der had been heard in the hills all morning, and along about noon a big black cloud came creeping up over the crest of the continent, listed a little, when a peak of one of the hills caught the Lower corner, ripped it open and let the water out. It didn’t rain; the wa- ter simply fell ont of the cloud and went rushing down the side of the mountain as it rushes off the roof of a house in a hard April shower.

The little fissures were filled first, then the gorges, gullies and rough ra- vines, and when these emptied into the countless rills that ran away toward the foot of the range every rill became arushing river. Leaves and brush and fallen trees were borne away on the breast of the flood that grew im volume and increased in speed alarmingly. When all this water came rushing down into the main canyon, the song of the stream that rippled there wags hushed, the bed of the creek was filled with big bowlders that had been rolled down by the floed, and a great river went roar- ing down toward the plain. Up through this narrow, crooked canyon a narrow gauge railroad ran to Silver Cliff. Sil- ver Cliff at one time had 30,000 people, then 8,000, and now not more than 30 people live there unless their business compels them to do so. It produced some silver, a sensational murder, one congressman and petered out.

When the flood had gone a mile in the main canyon and picked up eight or ten railrozd bridges and all the cesd timber in the gulch, it presented a roil- ing front 25 feet high and reached from hlil to hill.

Great spruce trees were uprooted, the track, with the crossties still hanging to the rails, was ripped up and the rails, bending like baling wire, wound about the rolling debris and clogged the can- yon. Then the welling flood would fill the whole gorge and roll on with such a mass of bridge timber and fallen trees pushed in front of it that you could see no sign of water as the flood bore down upon you, but cnlya tangled mass of rails and ties and twisted trees. A couple of prospectors heard the roar of it and climbed the canyon wall just in

time to save themselves, while the little burros, with their packs on their backs, went dowa to a watery grave. Next came a long string of freight teams bringing lumber down from a little mountain sawmill. The rattle and voise of the heavy wagons made it impossible for the freighters to hear the roar of the flood, and, as they were coming down the canyon, they had their backs to it, and so were overtaken in a narrow place. Some of the men, leaping from their wagons, scrambled up the steep hill out of the way of the water, whiie others took to the tall trees, but when the fiood came the stoutest trees in the gulch went down like sunflowers in a cyclone’s path and the luckless freight- ers mingled with the horses and wagons and were washed away.

Fortunately for us, we were an hon: late leaving the junction that day and had not yet reached the narrow part of the canyon. The engineer had been watching the black cloud as it came up over the range, and knew we were duc to run into a washout at any moment, ‘The very winds that came down the canyon, fresh and cool, seemed to have water in them. The three day coaches were filled with a heterogeneous herd pushing to the cliff, which, like many other camps, was then posing 2s ‘‘a sec- ond Leadville.’ There were preachers and play actors, miners and merchants, cowboys and confidence men, and here and there gaunt faced girls, with peach- blow complexion and wonderful, im- possible hair, billed for the varicty.

Up near the engine the express mes- senger sat ona little iron safe. Upon either hip he wore a heavy six shooter

The rifle, slipping from his grasp, shot down into the river. and across his lap lay a winchester rifle. He vas as nearly contented and happy as men may reasonably hope to be on this earth. The refreshing breeze that came to him was sweet with the scent of summer. The hills were green and bis heart was glad. But his heart was not in the hills. That very Sunday morning he had given it into the keep- ing of the warden’s daughter as they walked without the walls of the gray prison down by the junction. Almost within hearing of the townspeople who

passed up and down to and from ths mineral springs that..gusbed from the

aw hehe

of his heart. The color coming to her face the whil she heard the tale told him that she was listening, When they had come to the corner of the wall, one step beyond which would bring them into full view of the warden’s residence, he had pressed her for an answer. She could find no voice to answer, but put out her hand as if she would say goodby. He took it, and the touch of it told him all he

he had told her the secret

wished to know. Now he grew so glad, thinking it all over, that ke clasped his hands together asa girl would do, and the rifle, slipping from his lap, shot down into the river that ran beside the track. The door at his back and next the canyon wall was closed and barred. The opposite door, overlooking the little river, was thrown wide open, and to the messenger sitting there came the splash of water and the smell of pine.

He remembered that the agent, ran- ning alongside of his car as he was leav- ing the junction, had pointed to the iron safe and said, ‘‘Keep your eye on the gun.’’ The little safe held $40,900 in paper, and over in one corner of the car, in an old clay stained ore sack, we: $10,000 in gold.

We were cutting across a little piece of high ground in the bend of the river when the awful flood burst forth from the narrow canyon just in front of us

The engineer’s first thought was to back |

down and run away from the flood, but the recollection that a double headed freight train was following us caused him to change his mind. The trainmen hurried the passengers all out, the mes- senger carried the mail and express matter to a safe place, and every one gazed in wonderment while the roaring flood went by. The main force of it,

ro3

fcllovring the bed of the creek, hugged the opposite hill, but none of our party

was jealous. Broad as the valley was here, it was soon filled, and the water rose high enough to float the rear coach ; but the engine, being on higher ground, acted as an anchor and held the train. In less than five minutes the water had swept around and carried away the bridge which we had just crossed, and there we were on about 300 yards of track, and nothing before or behind us. The freight train, having a clear track, backed away to the junction, told the story of our distress, and at mid- night the company agent came to the top of the canyon with a white light, and, in a little while we were all taken out, and after tramping over a moun- tain trail fora half hour, loaded into wagons and hauled back to the junction.

CHAPTER II.

**Let’s have a drink afore we go.”’

‘‘Nary drink,’’ said the dark man at the head of the table, and one could see at a glance that wherever he sat would be the head of the table. ‘‘You promis- ed me up in the gulch that day that you’d never get drunk again, and I prom- ise you right now, Skinny, that if you do you'll never get sober, for I intend to have you shot while yer happy.’’

Nobody replied to this. The man ad- dressed only glanced across the table, and then, dropping his eyes, brushed the ashes from his cigar with the tip of his little finger. “Phe man at the speak- er’s right smiled quietly over at his vis-a-vis, and then there was silence for a@ moment.

The freighter and the prospector, leaning on the bar, paid no attention to the four men who sat and smoked by the little pine table in a dark corner of the log saloon. The Lone Spruce, as the place was called, had done a rushing business in the boom days, but Ruby Camp was dying, even as Silver Cliff, Gunnison and dozens of other camps have died since—as Creede is dying to- day—and business wasslow. A drunken Ute reeled in and wanted to play poker, shake dice or shoot with any dog of a white man in the place. When all the rest had put him aside coldly, he came over ,to, the corner, and the dark man,

night and passed out by the back door. The three men at the pine table followed him.

All this occurred in the last half of

the closing hour of the week. Thirty | minutes later, when the four mountain- |

cers rode away from the Black Bear carrel, it was Sunday, but the people of Ruby Camp took no note of time. When the sun came up on that beautiful Sun- day morning, it found the dark man aud his companions at the top of the

range overlooking the wet mountain |

valley. Before they had reached the foothills the sun caught the two threads of steel that stretched away across the park and disappeared at the entrance of the canyon at the foot of the vale. All night they had ridden single file, but now as they entered the broad valley they bunched their horses and conversed as they went along. The dark man kept his eyes upon a barren peak that stood at the foot of the valley, where the rail- road track, gliding smoothly over the mesa, seemed to tumble into the canyon as swift Niagara tumbles over the falls. At that point the little party expected to dismount and take the train for the Cliff. The leader, who w: ; able to read both print and writing, had noticed a paragraph in the Denver Tribune to the effect that the new Custer County be~k would open for business at Silver C. f July 10. He had been assured by his own banker at Gunnison that the new institution weuld be perfectly reliable, backed, as it was, by the First National of Denver. Being a man of good judg- ment, he reasoned that the necessary funds for the new bank would in all probability leave Denver Saturday night and go up from the junction by the one daily train on Sunday. That was why he wished to take the train.
