They must do their 60 miles a day In not less than nine hours and not more than eleven hours. The final scoring allows 60 points for condition and 40 for speed.

Such contests as these, held with the approval of the War department and iwatched with keen Interest by cavalrymen, recall to veterans in the mounted service some of the feats of e riding in the Indian fight tag days of the old frontier. It was' different In the old days. When Uncle iSams troopers were called out to pursue a band of raiding Indians or to Tide to the relief of beleaguered comrades. The chase led them over barren plains or rugged mountains. The soldier carried a meager ration of hardtack, bacon and coffee and his pillow at night was his saddle. He had a scanty grain ration for his horse. Death lurked along the trail and. if lie was put afoot death came; nearer ' eight-year-o- ld cow-pon- y, - long-distanc- still.- ' When the final 'list of brilliant American cavalrymen Is compiled, high up ion the record will be the name of General Wesley Merritt Twice while he iwas colonel of the Fifth cavalry, the "Fighting Fifth, he proved his right jto greatness as a leader. The first jtlme was during the Sioux War of 1876 nd the second during Jhe. Ute .uprisIn Colorado In 1879. On July 15, 1876, Merritt, who had started with the Fifth to Join General Crooks expedition, was camped on the ing : Fort Laramie trail at Rawhide creek In Wyoming. At noon he received a troops of the Fifth had left Fort Russell and were speeding for Rawlins in a special train. On the morning of October 2 Merritt and his cavalrymen detrained at Rawlins and after a five-horest, they were marching away to the southwest guided by Rankin, with four companies of the Fourth. Except for occasional stops of five or ten minutes they pushed on nntll midnight and then went into bivouac on Cow Creek with 40 miles of their journey behind them. At 8 oclock the next morning they took up the trail again and that day they covered 50 miles before they went into camp on Fortification creek promptness. Leaving a small guard with his wagon train and orders that It was to follow as rapidly as possible, the commander and seven troops of the Fifth swung Into their saddles and started Their objective up Rawhide creek. was the point where the great Indian trail from the Sioux reservation crossed War Bonnet creek In the southwestern corner of what Is now in Colorado. South Dakota and It was 85 miles The morning of October 4 found 14 the a of miles, march away. After troopers halted to water their horses, then pushed on until 10 oclock that night when they bivouacked under the buttes of the Runninng Water. They had already covered 35 miles of the 85. 'the next morning they were on At 5 their way again. They were now 50 miles from War Bonnet creek and the Cheyennes were only 28 miles from It Frflra now on It would be a race to see which would arrive there first All that day, with only a brief stop at noon for rest, the Fifth pushed on. At 9 oclock that night the seven companies went Into camp along the War Bonnet. The hostiles were nowhere in sight. Merritt and the Fifth, by marching 85 miles In 31 hours had won the race. More than that the cavalry leader had brought every man and every horse through safely and fit for fight The fight the next morning, with its thrilling Incident of Buffalo Bills duel with Chief Yellow Hand, was a brilliant victory, but the result of it the scattering of these reinforcements for Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse and sending them back to the was even more reservation important, for It probably saved Crook. Certainly it won for Merritt and the Fifth the recognition which their magnificent dash deserved.-- . Three years later came another Indian campaign. Sept 30, 1879, Merritt and part of the Fifth was stationed at Fort D. A. Russell, Wyo., when a message arrived from Rawlins telling of a tragedy away up in the northwestern corner of Colorado. The Utes had gone on the warpath, killed Agent N. C. Meeker and burned the Then they had ambushed a agency. body of troops under the command of Maj. T. T. Thornburgh, marching toward the agency. Thornburgh had been killed and leadership had devolved upon Captain Payne of .the Fifth cavalry, who, with five troops of the Fifth had accompanied the expe' r dition. Off to the Rescue. The message had been brought to Rawlins by Joseph E. Rankin, a scout, who had broken through the hostiles around Paynes beleaguered soldiers and had ridden from the ambush at pell-me- ll quette in the conduct of the governMartha Wellington ments social life.

Again Merritt acted Instantly. Within an hour four them with nearly half of their Journey ahead. Eighty miles away Payne and his men were lying In the trenches they had dug. Although Merritt realized the necessity of haste there was no hurrying or worrying of horse or man beyond a pace which they could sustain. So all day they jogged along the narrow trail which was now taking them over soma of the roughest mountain country In America, the men often walking beside their mounts. Bugle Blows Officers Call. .

Dodge, as well as Payne, was facing death. Before dawn on the morning of October 5 Merritts troopers reached a valley in which Rankin said the remnants of Paynes command lay besieged. It had been a custom in (he Fifth for one troop to guide another Into camp by sounding officers call. Payne, believing' it just possible that Merritt would reach him on the morning of October 5, lay behind breastworks straining his ears to catch the slightest sound which might indicate the arrival of a relief column.
