Mound Fort- Running with the Pack Subpage 7

CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE

The next day the Ute Indian Tracker meets with Eagle Feather Ute Indian wondering what he wants to do about the Ute and Shoshoni Indian Warriors being camped outside of the Ogden River Canyon. And besides that they are using it as a way to stage themselves closer to the Mound Fort Artillery Base in that matter of perspective.

First off, the Ute Indian Tracker is curious as to whether or not he should be watching the Ute and Shoshoni Indian Warriors and their every move at night. Because that’s the only time that they can even eavesdrop their way around without being seen during the light of day for that reason anyhow.

Straight forth the Ute Indian Tracker looks to Eagle Feather Ute Indian and queries, “So what do you want to do about the Ute and Shoshoni Indian Warriors?”

For a moment there, Eagle Feather Ute Indian has a confused look on his face while trying to think of what he should do about it and what his choices in this situation happen to be for right now. There’s no doubt that maybe he should continue to have the Ute Indian Tracker continue on with his endeavors in order to watch what their actions are without stirring up any conflicts by being noticed.

After waiting for no response right away, the Ute Indian Tracker asks once again another question interrogating, “Do you want me to go back and watch the Ute and Shoshoni Indians until we can decide what to do on the matter?”

Immediately Eagle Feather Ute Indian comes up with his decision considering that he hasn’t given the matter too much thought so far anyhow considering that it all had come about just so fast. There’s only one solution to the matter for right now anyhow because he needs more time to put more Ute Indians together in order to stop the Ute and Shoshoni Indian Warriors from going further.

With his answer in mind, Eagle Feather Ute Indian tells the Ute Indian Tracker, “Go ahead and watch them for another night! Don’t let anyone of them see you either!”

The Ute Indian Tracker thinks about how he is most certain that nobody will see him watching them from a distance, especially now that the hardest part of the job is over with. And that job was finding the location of the Ute and Shoshoni Indian Warriors. But then on the other hand, neither the Ute Indian Tracker, nor Eagle Feather Ute Indian know or realize that the Navajo Indian Warriors are expected to join up with them soon.

After rummaging these thoughts and facts through his head really fast like, the Ute Indian Tracker gets ready to turn and leave saying, “Don’t worry; they won’t see a thing!”

Then before the Ute Indian Tracker leaves, Eagle Feather Ute Indian decides to give him some supplies to prepare him for his journey. As Eagle Feather Ute Indian thinks of being most generous, he turns while fetching, “Here, let me give you some things to take along!”

Momentarily Eagle Feather Ute Indian takes one of his burlap bags while putting some things such as food and a canteen of water that he had filled and prepared himself to take along for the trip during the night. There are a numerous number of other things such as food that are inside as well.

Then afterwards the Ute Indian Tracker turns and leaves to go back to his home quarters in order to make his final preparations. And the whole time that all of this commotion and converting was going on, Demon was sitting there watching them even though the Ute Indian Tracker had never mentioned seeing him, although Demon never noticed him noticing him nonetheless.

However Demon continues to rest and ready himself for another night of watching the Ute and Shoshoni Indian Warriors or should it be considered another night of joining up with them in order to revenge the Civil War Quarters that had taken his wolf mother away from him. But then on the one side of the mountain, his wolf mother is still very much alive in a sense and then in another sense she is here again with his wolf father and another family to bring up.

Anyhow Demon watches as the Ute Indian Tracker leaves walking away from Eagle Feather Ute Indian’s trader teepee post. And still he looks like all of the other Ute Indians and even the Shoshoni Indians he has seen with their darker complexion of skin than the white settlers of Utah he has seen. But of course, he notices the difference which he had noticed a long time ago how there are darker skinned people as well as lighter skinned people.

Nevertheless Demon decides to fall back asleep during the daytime hours while waiting for his chance to join up with the Ute and Shoshoni Indian Warriors once again. To him this is his chance to get even for the changes in his life which had happened a few years ago. And he especially feels the need to stake his revenge considering the fact that it directly affects his behaviors nonetheless.

After the Ute Indian Tracker leaves the scene heading back to his preparations for that night, Eagle Feather Ute Indian decides to try a few good luck spells to help ease the confrontations of his everyday life that have overwhelmed him. However he has built up a little bit of fatigue from thinking about things which have had their emotional distress and toll on him and many of the other Ute Indians within the tribe.

Meanwhile the Ute Indian band has been watching Eagle Feather Ute Indian’s teepee as well as his next meeting with the Ute Indian Tracker. So far, things are coming together as many signs have come informing them that they have been set up and watched by their so secret admirer.

At first, they remain watching them both talk and converse for a few moments or so. Then watching the Ute Indian Tracker leave, the Ute Indian band begins to come undone as though they have been played like a banjo or a drum. Either way they all decide to talk about it so that they can be a little analytical towards the entire situation.

First off, Den Wolf Mother Ute Indian brings the conversation forth by talking, “It looks like Eagle Feather has his Ute Indian Tracker watching the Ute and Shoshoni Indian Warriors!”

With such a startle to hear this, Black Wolf Ute Indian can’t believe what she’s hearing, although she sees things a little bit differently adding, “And he’s been watching us as well!”

Next Sharp Arrow Ute Indian who has been ready to go down by the Civil War Quarters earlier this evening says, “How do you know that?”

A few seconds later Black Wolf Ute Indian gives her reply gibbering, “Because he didn’t say anything about having his Ute Indian Tracker find where the Ute and Shoshoni Indian Warrior’s hideout.”

By now, Lone Wolf Ute Indian feels that they haven’t won over his trust fully saying, “Sounds like he doesn’t trust us!”

There’s no doubt in White Wolf Ute Indian’s mind that all three sides have been played together particularizing, “He’s played all of us and he even played Demon!”

Finally Den Wolf Mother Ute Indian decides that they should just go ahead and head out earlier this time before telling them all, “Let’s just go! His game isn’t going to play out too much longer!”

And for some reason they all seem to miss Grey Wolf Ute Indian. They especially miss her with her absences from being down at the wolf cages training a female wolf prospect that she has chosen for Demon. It seems she has been gone for a few days and she’s missing out on all of the action so far. Consequently she has been missing all of the excitement even though it is only started to perk back up so to say in their minds.

Wishing she were here as they all sneak away, Black Wolf Ute Indian makes a remark, “I wish Grey Wolf was here!”

Next Den Wolf Mother comes back with a comment as to where she has been still saying, “I know, she’s wrapped up in that female wolf down at the wolf cages!”

The following thoughts to rummage through someone’s mind is Sharp Arrow Ute Indian who can only think of how much time she’s been spending down there saying, “She been spending a lot of time down there!”

Now Lone Wolf Ute Indian wonders what kind of progress she making with the female wolf murmuring, “I wonder how much longer until she trains that wolf to come back out in to the wild?”

Nonetheless White Wolf Ute Indian wants to use the situation to their advantage once Grey Wolf Ute Indian brings the female wolf out to meet Demon insinuating, “Perhaps we could use her female wolf to our advantage by using her to lure Demon away from the Civil War Quarters?”

More ideas seem to roam around in Black Wolf Ute Indian’s mind as she pictures Demon being lured away by another female wolf saying, “Perhaps! Let’s swing by Eagle Feather’s anyhow and see what his attitude is like. We’ll also tell him that we’re heading down to the Civil War Quarters earlier this time!”

Right away, as they are approaching past Eagle Feather Ute Indian’s place which is still sort of in the other direction out of the way, Sharp Arrow Ute Indian quibbles, “Yes, it would be better if we tell him instead of sneak off making it obvious that we are on to his game!”

Then a distance away back down south towards the wolf cages, stands Grey Wolf Ute Indian watching, although she has a companion with her. As she remains standing with a watchful eye, Grey Wolf Ute Indian places her hand on her new female wolf friend and pets her for a few moments.

A few seconds later, the Ute Indian band reaches Eagle Feather Ute Indian’s teepee as they hear a voice come from the inside when they approach, “So you all have decided to leave early for tonight!”

Furthermore the one to speak for the Ute Indian band as a group is Den Wolf Mother who sort of feels as though she’s the eldest anyhow. With her responsibilities in order, Den Wolf Mother Ute Indian answers back gibbering, “Yes, we have decided to keep a better eye on the place for now!”

Surely Eagle Feather Ute Indian figures that they are on top of their game with an eagerness to help keep up his peaceful union with the Mound Fort Artillery complex and the Civil War Quarters. But then on the other hand, he had noticed through the corner of his eye that the Ute Indian band was watching him talk to his friendly Ute Indian Tracker.

So it’s most obvious that they may catch on to what is going on with him and his having the Ute Indian Tracker following while tracking down the Ute and Shoshoni Indian Warriors. Yet he realizes they too still have some issues within their scheming little Indian minds of getting back their heritage as well, otherwise they wouldn’t be doing his tactful endeavors anyhow.

Thence, Eagle Feather Ute Indian just goes along with their early departure like he has thought nothing of it prompting, “That’s good, sounds like you’re all motivated to protect our way of life through keeping the peace!”

Thus, with being caught in a world which is turning inside and out as far as the heritage and culture is concerned, Lone Wolf Ute Indian feels that now it is time to throw the game away from his Ute Indian Tracker considering that there are more Ute and Shoshoni Indians there than anybody could ever imagine telling him, “Yes, we are, but there’s a lot of Shoshoni Indians down there with the Ute Indian Warriors and I don’t think anything even us is going to stop them!”

Consequently Eagle Feather Ute Indian realizes this and that’s why he has only his Ute Indian Tracker watching the place for now until he can get some of his Ute Indian friends to try and counter them and their plans. And still it will be tough with the Shoshoni Indian Warriors there with them helping to preserve their burials that have been placed their as well.

Now Eagle Feather Ute Indian agrees with him and his rationing on the matter, although he still needs time to sort things out explaining to them all, “Yes I know, they will stop at nothing until they shut down that “Indian Fort” that sets on their ancestral burial grounds! The old Indian cemetery was their way of memorializing their deceased relatives with some kind of remembrance such as ourselves who also have relatives who had passed away and been buried there. And not to mention, that the Mormon settlers had done wrong too many of the headstones and crosses which had been placed as our memorial to our demised family members.”

Finally, Sharp Arrow Ute Indian becomes angry thinking about some of his memorials that have been removed as well which also are related to some of the other of the Ute Indian band. With these thought surfacing back to the iniquities of what’s happening, Sharp Arrow Ute Indian becomes even more eager to get out there not only to help Eagle Feather Ute Indian but with an eagerness to watch things unfold for that reason.

As a result, of the conversation, Sharp Arrow Ute Indian is ready to head out saying, “We all should get going!”

Henceforth Black Wolf Ute Indian notices that Demon is sort of hid around the corner sleeping when usually he would be a little more perked up than that. Nevertheless she makes a comment to Eagle Feather Ute Indian and Demon speaking out, “Demon sure looks tired?”

Just then, Demon perks himself up a little bit while yawning and showing his wide mouth and big wolf fangs that are only getting bigger as he gets older and more mature. For a moment or so he lifts his head up and turns looking out towards everybody who has an attitude of not saying anything about noticing Demon last night. Of course, Demon remains mellowed out trying to keep only one thing on his mind which is going back.

Finally Eagle Feather Ute Indian makes a comment about Demon telling them, “Yes, he is tired from watching the Ute and Shoshoni Indian Warriors last night!”

Immediately the Ute Indian band turns in order to leave making their way down the Ogden River Canyon to the Civil War Quarters of the Mound Fort Artillery Base. As they leave, Eagle Feather Ute Indian decides to hand them some supplies to take in the same esteem as with his Ute Indian Tracker friend.

Quickly Eagle Feather Ute Indian turns to Den Wolf Mother who is the closest to him as they start to leave saying, “Here are some supplies and other things to take along so that you all don’t go hungry or thirsty!”

Right away, Den Wolf Mother Ute Indian takes the bag from Eagle Feather Ute Indian who hands it to her so kindly like without any thoughts of anything out of the ordinary. Without any further hesitation, Den Wolf Mother Ute Indian takes the bag from Eagle Feather Ute Indian while appreciating the helpful bag of gifts to take them through the night.

“Thanks Eagle Feather!”

Den Wolf Mother Ute Indian says at the time of accepting from him as she takes the bag and places one of the back straps across her shoulder.

Soon they all leave to head out down towards the opposite end of the Ogden River Canyon to go to hideout near their destination. Thereafter Eagle Feather Ute Indian watches as they leave with Demon still sound asleep not making any noise. Now that Demon has been persuaded over to the side of the Ute and Shoshoni Indian Warriors, he tends to remain aloof and independent towards everyone and even Eagle Feather Ute Indian.

Once the Ute Indian band leaves, Demon decides to lay his head down again as Eagle Feather Ute Indian heads inside to sit down and think things over a bit. So far all that has happened is the Ute Indian band is slowly going back to their old way of thinking which is to gain back the land that was once their own.

Meanwhile Demon becomes more anxious to leave as every moment that goes by is another chance to preserve his way of life along with his family of the past. All he can think about is his wolf mother and wolf father eventually taking revenge against the Civil War Quarters as well which begins to make him slightly angrier.

The Ute Indian band makes their way down along the Ogden River Canyon while thinking about the Ute Indian Tracker following behind at some distance. For they are almost certain that Eagle Feather Ute Indian and his ways of a peaceful deal are becoming undone as the Ute and Shoshoni Indian band takes a strong hold in close proximity to the Civil War Quarters.

There’s no doubt that Sharp Arrow Ute Indian realizes that there is no stopping the Ute and Shoshoni Indian Warriors no matter how much they try. If they try to hard they’ll all end up tied down to a tree or end up with an arrow in their own back. And to him that’s pretty absurd and too farfetched, but nonetheless there’s a good chance that many of them white settlers could be lynched when this is all over with and the Ute and Shoshoni Indians recover their sacred grounds back.

With all kinds of estranged thoughts rummaging throughout his own mind, Sharp Arrow Ute Indian comes out and says, “It looks like Eagle Feather too is coming apart at the heels with the Ute and Shoshoni Indian Warriors staging the Civil War Quarters again!”

Lone Wolf Ute Indian agrees saying to them all, “I don’t believe Eagle Feather Ute Indian wanted to make that peaceful deal with any of them anyhow!”

Next Black Wolf Ute Indian agrees with them both shelling out a few words on the matter exasperating, “In time he’ll be down there with them all himself trying to shut down the place!”

But of course some of them have to agree that he has been acting strangely about the Ute and Shoshoni Indian Warriors watching the Civil War Quarters. And especially White Wolf Ute Indian who thinks that his old ways will come forth gabbing, “You’re probably right; it won’t be long and he’ll give up on holding back on that place!”

With all that has been said, the Ute Indian band continues making their way towards the other end of the Ogden River Canyon. There’s no doubt that they will be the first to arrive at the Civil War Quarters before the Ute and Shoshoni Indian Warriors, although as they are leaving a few more Ute Indians approach joining up with them all.

Certainly it’s Single Feather Ute Indian and Two Feathers Ute Indian along with Little Mean Wolf Ute Indian who all want to join in on observing much of the action. And then following behind them nonetheless is Spring Leaf Ute Indian and Autumn Leaf Ute Indian who have been waiting for the chance to join the escapade as well. When they all come running up to the Ute Indian band, many of them look back with a surprised look on their face. It’s as though the news of the Ute and Shoshoni Indian Warriors and their actions have been heard all around the Ute Indian campsite.

Once the follower Indians approach, Two Feathers Ute Indian rallies them all on towards the Civil War Quarters saying, “We’re coming with you all!”

Then Den Wolf Mother Ute Indian wonders on what authority is she wanting to go along with asking, “And what makes you think you all can come with us?”

Right away, Little Mean Wolf Ute Indian comes out ready to stick up for his Indian group of friends slanging announcing to her and the rest of them, “I say so, that’s my father and friends down there you’re all watching!”

And there’s no doubt that the Ute Indian band is thinking that that’s a good idea considering that he may run off to his father. Nonetheless Black Wolf Ute Indian decides to make a comment about that shelling out, “Okay then, but you better stay back with us and out of sight!”

Quickly Little Mean Horse Ute Indian answers back in a kind of retort while reconvening, “Sure, no problem!”

Meanwhile back at the Ute and Shoshoni Indian hideout, the Navajo Warriors have just arrived from a long trip from the four corners of the four states. They all have just arrived and are still riding in looking for places to park their horses. So far, the area is becoming packed and crowded like there’s some sort of gathering of some kind.

However even though the Navajo Warriors have arrived and finally showed up, the Ute and Shoshoni Indian Warriors are still waiting on their Shoshoni Indian friends to return any time still. So far, it seems that they have been gone a long time considering that they are becoming restless and unnerving.

Then on the other hand, all of the Indian groups coming in and going out have been taking a long route around. The long route is for trying to avoid contact or any chance of being seen by the Ute Indian campsite members. But still there are even the chances to be seen or followed on any one of the routes that there’s to take along the way.

Quickly the Navajo Indian Warriors and some of their Navajo Indian Renegades park their horses and slowly join in for a grand like get together. The Navajo Indian Warrior Chief approaches the middle of the campsite shaking hands and greeting his fellow friends of the Ute and Shoshoni Indian Warrior bands that he hasn’t seen in quite some time.

Following behind the Navajo Indian Warrior Chief is his friend the Navajo Indian Skin Walker that acts like not only a friend but like a kind of clairvoyant and psychic in some form of nature. And in fact, the Navajo Indian Skin Walker has been to the other side in to the spirit world where he can see things to come.

Then before the Navajo Indian Warrior Chief can even find a place to sit down, he notices some type of large bone that looks like it had been chewed by some wild animal. Right away, the Navajo Indian Warrior Chief asks out loud, “What do all have a pet dog or something?”

Without waiting too long while every one of the Ute, Shoshoni, and Navajo Indian Warriors starts chuckling, the Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse tries to turn the laughs around announcing, “No, it’s just a long wolf story!”

Then with another chuckle and laugh the Navajo Indian Skin Walker shrills out, “A pet wolf?”

Thereafter a few moments or so, the Ute Indian Informant goes on to say, “Yes, it’s a black wolf that was strayed when the infamous mountain man Jim Bridger shot and skinned his wolf mother!”

Next the Navajo Warrior Chief tries to shack off the funny part of the conversation answering back, “Is that so, he shot and skinned his wolf mother?”

Finally the Navajo Indian Warrior Chief and the Navajo Indian Skin Walker find themselves a place to sit down while the Navajo Indian Skin Walker asks, “So what did he do with the wolf mother’s skins?”

The Ute Indian Scout interrupts and jumps in to the conversation explaining, “He traded the wolf mother’s skins to Eagle Feather for keeping peace with the place!”

Then all of a sudden the Navajo Indian Skin Walker rolls his eyes back for a moment with the notions of a divine intuition that has come to him from the inner world of the afterlife chanting, “The wolf mother lives!”

For a brief moment some of the Ute, Shoshoni and Navajo Indians are confused as even one Shoshoni Indian Renegade asks out loud publicly, “What she lives?”

By now, the Navajo Indian Skin Walker chants another like trance from his possession saying, “She’s a skin walker!”

With much confusion, the head Shoshoni Indian Warrior wonders what he’s even talking about asking, “I thought you had to kill a member of your own family to be a skin walker like you’d done!”

Still the Navajo Indian Skin Walker has to go a little further with his notions exclaiming, “She’s still a skin walker!”

There’s no doubt that some of the Ute, Shoshoni, and even some of the Navajo Indian Warriors are a little confused as to what the Navajo Indian Skin Walker is talking about that she is a skin walker. Hurriedly one of the Shoshoni Indian Renegades questions his witch doctor like powers that he has obtained through the supernatural asking, “How could she be a skin walker, she’s just a wolf?”

With his eyes nearly rolling back again until the whites of his eye balls are showing forth, the Navajo Indian Skin Walker comes back with his bit of supernatural wisdom that seems afar off from the others telling them all, “She was skinned and now she’s walking!”

Meanwhile back at the Mound Fort Artillery Fort, Captain James S. Brown and the Ogden Mountain Man are there with the fort commander while his two household members remain down the hill holding down the fort. Nonetheless this happens to be a term that only holders of forts can explain, especially when it’s one that has been lived in by one’s self and maybe some others.

Now the fort commander is trying to round up another messenger to send out for some back up from some of the other surrounding Utah Indian and so called Civil War Forts in the area. Yet none of them are close either considering that many of them are at least many miles and a canyon ride away.

So far, the fort commander goes back over every one of the messengers they had sent out to some of the surrounding forts. At first he mentions a few saying, “Well, so far, we have sent a messenger to the Huntsville Fort, Farr’s Fort, and Bingham’s Fort, but we still need to send another messenger back to your fort to have some more men brought in to help.”

With waiting any longer, Captain James S. Brown has his own idea saying, “I think it would be better to send someone other than myself for right now, especially considering that the Ute and the Shoshoni Indians know I’m here. And don’t forget the fact that they are split up trying to stop the Union Pacific Railroad for that matter!”

Immediately the fort commander tries to refute what Captain James S. Brown is saying exclaiming, “It doesn’t matter, there’s too many of them here now!”

Once the thought of one of them staying at the Mound Fort Artillery Base, the Ogden Mountain Man comes out saying, “Once one of the messenger’s returns from their errands, I’ll head back to Captain James S. Brown’s Fort to try and see what the news is and round up a few men!”

Next the fort commander is curious as to what they should do in the meantime as far as other outside help is concerned asking, “What should we do in the meantime?”

Of course, the fort commander has questioned their authority as though they are there to ease the situation. Right away, Captain James S. Brown wonders if they should send someone to Salt Lake City for some help probing, “Maybe when the messengers return we can send one of them to Salt Lake City for help?”

After hearing that, the fort commander isn’t sure that part of the plan would be successful considering that Salt Lake City is so far away, although many of the Shoshoni and Navajo Indians had traveled further than that anyhow. Yet he still has doubts since President Young hasn’t backed them up from the beginning the way he said he was planning to do during his speech addressing the situation at the Mound Fort Artillery Base.

Finally the fort commander thinks about that idea for a moment or so and then he decides saying with a delayed response stating, “Maybe we could make that our final option if we decide to give President Young another chance to keep his word!”

At about that time, the Union Pacific Railroad operatives have been continuing their stance at watching the Civil War Quarters as well as the Mound Fort Artillery Base. They all have been noticing some actions moving in and out, but none of them are unusual except for a few men that rode out on horses in different directions.

In fact, it’s hard to even tell what direction considering many of them are taking longer routes to their destinations due to the amount of Indian activity around their area. Yet to their minds it seems as though they are sending messengers out to try and round up some other men for some help with holding down the “Indian Fort.”

Nevertheless things begins to cool off around the area as far as everyone acting bewildered and roused up for the uncanny reasoning of being back in a confrontation with the Ute, Shoshoni, and Navajo Indians. It also seems that a few outside campers have taken some precautions as well as far as moving their camps a little closer to the high walls of the Mound Fort Artillery Base.

Another thing that they have noticed is that everyone seems to have been preparing for some sort of confrontation at no matter what the cost. Many of the camp sites have been preparing by putting up some barriers between them and the bottom of the hill. It seems like everyone has been digging in a bit getting ready for some cover, There are many trees to use for cover to just in case the Ute, Shoshoni, and Navajo Warriors make a move advancing towards the Mound Fort Artillery Base.

While all looks quiet and the Union Pacific Railroad operatives, the railroad construction manager Gus mentions his insight to the other saying, “Looks like, they have sent the entire group of messengers they can spare out!”

The railroad office manager wonders why they are doing that interrogating the situation, “I wonder why they would spare any men right now?”

Straight forth one of the tour guides decides to shed some light on things almost as though he seems to know what’s going on without ever even talking to any of the inhabitants of the Mound Fort Artillery Fort as of yet. There’s no doubt that they are sending messengers out to try and round up some more men from some of the surrounding forts, especially with the Ogden Mountain Man and Captain James S. Brown here at the place.

Right then, one of the tour guides makes an underwriting observance at hand saying, “They’re probably sending their messengers to some of the other forts in the area!”

The railroad office manager wonders why Captain James S. Brown or the Ogden Mountain Man don’t have any men with them questioning, “Why aren’t there any men here with Captain James S. Brown and the Ogden Mountain Man, don’t they have a fort of their own?”

The other tour guide comes about adding, “Maybe they sent some men to the Huntsville Fort and Farr’s Fort for now along with sending one of them somewhere else!”

CHAPTER TWENTY SIX

Suddenly the Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse decides to persuade the Ute Indian Informant to take a trip over to the camps outside of the Mound Fort Artillery Base. He turns looking around at everyone who is there holding their rifles and other weapons such as arrows and some Billy clubs even. Of course, most of them are still ready and armed as usual with all of their guns loaded when they are traveling long distances.

Immediately the Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse looks to the Ute Indian Informant commanding, “I think it’s time you go get your friend Chief Little Indian Soldier!”

The Ute Indian Informant gets up on his feet like he was eager to go get his friend and bring him in to the charismatic nature of the whole entire political agenda. And when he stands up to get on his feet, the Ute Indian Informant makes sure he’s got a good grip on his rifle to take along as well.

Just then, after standing on his two feet while all of the other Shoshoni and Navajo Indians watch, the Ute Indian Informant asks, “And take him where?”

The Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse already has his plans set forth how things will be played out answering back, “Go get him and take him to our spot behind the trees east of the Civil War Quarters!”

Before the Ute Indian Informant tries to leave, he thinks for a second before asking, “And where are you going to be at?”

The Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse is anxious to get the show on the road for another evening blatting, “Don’t worry; we’ll wait for a little while and then we’ll be right behind you!”

The Ute Indian Informant heads to his horse which is ties to a nearby tree post that they have shanked up. Then once he hops onto his horse, he rides off towards the Civil War Quarters heading to the outside camps of the Mound Fort Artillery Base. It isn’t but a few seconds or so before he disappears out of sight from their hideout.

Afterwards all of the Shoshoni Indian Renegades start becoming frazzled and dazzled after the Ute Indian Informant has left the scene. At first, many of them start to stand up like they’re all ready to go and get on with some more action. Nevertheless the head Shoshoni Indian Warrior wonders what the Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse has planned for the start of the evening.

He carries forth with a question interrogating him, “So what’s on the political agenda for the beginning of the evening?”

The Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse has some thoughts rummaging through his scheming mind of his and some of them he might want to keep to himself. Some of them are just about what he has planned for the evening and some are what he has planned the days that follow as well.

However he does come across a few words of something to say telling the head Shoshoni Indian Warrior, “First off we should give my Ute Indian Informant friend a start ahead of us. And then when we get there we’ll just feel things out until the time is right!”

Of course, the head Shoshoni Indian Warrior thinks about how that sounds good for right now considering that’s all he needs to hear in order to get his blood going for some revenge. And the others are anxious to all standing around gathering by their horses ready to leave the Ute, Shoshoni, and Navajo Indian hideout.

Soon the head Shoshoni Indian Warrior answers back, saying to the Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse, “Sounds good to me!”

It isn’t long before the Navajo Indian Skin Walker comes approaching them both asking; “The Ute Indian Informant has been gone long enough!”

Immediately the Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse sees no reason to go on without Demon here, although he must carry on with his plans of taking back their ancestral lands. Before he even has a chance to say something about the wolf Demon, the Navajo Indian Skin Walker says as though he can read his mind, “Don’t worry; Demon will show when he’s ready!”

At about that time, Demon has already left while Eagle Feather Ute Indian has remained sleeping for the last few hours of the early evening. And for some reason Demon decided to go ahead and depart rather than disturb his peaceful thoughts in his sleep. Nevertheless he feels as though he should have been there already if it wasn’t for being torn between two worlds.

However he has been running around quite a lot the last few days and his travels are a long distance between the Ogden River Canyon and the Mound Fort Artillery Base. Plus he has been traveling around to some other places such as the mountain tops to the north only to discover his wolf mother has been reincarnated and is back with his wolf father.

Nevertheless the Ute, Shoshoni, and Navajo Indians are ready to leave to make their way back to the Civil War Quarters. However the Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse takes one more look around for Demon and his arrival before heading out to their destination. As he looks around before hoping onto his horse with his left foot in the left stirrup, the head Shoshoni Indian Warrior turns to him while everybody else watches and waits mentioning, “Don’t worry, the camp will be here when we return!”

Right then, the Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse pulls his horse’s bridle to leave while even taking a peek back for Demon one last time. Now he feels like some of his leverage has abandoned him even though such isn’t the case. However subsequently he feels like just pushing on and seeing if Demon joins up with them all later once they are at the Civil War Quarters.

After Demon left Eagle Feather Ute Indian’s teepee, Grey Wolf Ute Indian and her new friend, a female grey wolf mate are there nearby. They have been hiding out watching and waiting for Demon to leave and make his way down to the other end of the Ogden River Canyon to head to the Civil War Quarters.

And of course, that’s where they are headed, although they have a time to wait considering the Ute Indian Tracker is leaving at this particular moment in time heading to that same location. However she may decide that she’ll have to wait until a later time when her grey wolf is ready for watching angered activity which is what most of their daily lives consist of regularly.

Nevertheless when they arrive, Grey Wolf Ute Indian will probably only watch and observe what’s going on from a distance in order to train her female wolf mate friend more thoroughly. Otherwise the chance of finding Demon some companionship since he has been domesticated in a sense would become much harder in years to come ahead.

Yet she waits until the Ute Indian Tracker reaches a good stretch away from the Ute Indian campsite along the Ogden River leading in to town. Meanwhile Eagle Feather Ute Indian has awoken from his nap even though everyone had gone about their business without notifying him ahead of time.

Once he awakes he notices that Demon is already gone from his sleeping place. Right away, he gets up and walks outside looking around and about the place for Demon, although he’s nowhere in sight. After looking around a few more moments, he figures that Demon has departed and left heading for the Civil War Quarters and there’s no telling how long he has been gone for now.

Anyhow in Eagle Feather Ute Indian’s mind it’s apparent that Demon must have left at least around an hour or go considering he feels that he only had fallen asleep for a few hours. Nevertheless Eagle Feather Ute Indian sits down out front of his trader teepee watching some of the nearby Ute Indians dancing and having their usual nightly festivities.

Soo the Ute Indian Informant has made his way to the camps outside of the Mound Fort Artillery Base and when he first approached he steered far away from view from anyone at the Civil War Quarters. He sort of took the long way around by staying a good perimeter of distance away while riding his horse around many of the tree lines.

Once he arrives at the Mound Fort Artillery Base, he immediately makes his way to the outside camps while then seeking out his friend to see if he’s around at the moment. He doesn’t take but a first glance to see that the usually Ute and Shoshoni Indians are hanging around the outside camps as usual.

At first, the Ute Indian Informant gets off of his horse while holding onto his horse’s bridle as he walks over approaching slowly. Of course, there are a few Ute and Shoshoni Indian alcoholics who have some bottles of liquor who seem to try and pass the bottle to the Ute Indian Informant who refuses any nonetheless.

Immediately the Ute Indian Informant makes his forthcoming move next to Chief Little Indian Soldier who asks, “Where’d you come from?”

The Ute Indian informant tries to give him an answer saying, “I just arrived from our camp and there are some friends of mine dying to meet you!”

Right away, Chief Little Indian Soldier wonders where they are all at asking, “Where are your friends at?”

The Ute Indian Informant explains some more details to Chief Little Indian Soldier going further telling him, “They are hanging out next to the Civil War Quarters waiting for you to come over and meet them all!”

Immediately Chief Little Indian Soldier starts to get up while agreeing, “Okay, I’ll come over there with you!”

Once Chief Little Indian Soldier gets up the Ute Indian Informant conveys to him, “Bring one of your guns along with you!”

Just then, Chief Little Indian Soldier thinks about the gun he carries on him as he pulls his shirt away exposing it in his pants saying, “Here’s a gun I can bring along!”

Immediately the Ute Indian Informant agrees with the gun he has considering it’s just a little six shooter revolver pistol hand gun that will do the trick. Actually it looks like a Colt 45 perhaps, although whatever kind of hunk of iron it is he’s carrying, it’s alright to the Ute Indian Informant who thinks that despite what they have given him, he sure comes prepared to do anything.

Quickly the Ute Indian Informant starts walking away from the Ute and Shoshoni Indian camps that are scattered around outside of the Mound Fort Artillery Base. Next after a few seconds or so, Chief Little Indian Soldier starts to follow him leading over away from the Civil War Quarters so that they can come back around from the southeast side.

Once they have walked far enough away from everyone in a direction that is south of the Mound Fort Artillery Base, Chief Little Indian Soldier wonders what they want and why they want to meet him asking, “So why do they want to meet me?”

The Ute Indian Informant comes back trying to prep him back in to the game saying, “They have all come a long way for this and now is a good time to meet everyone!”

Soon Chief Little Indian Soldier turns and looks back around the other way towards the Mound Fort Artillery Base and then he turns back and says, “Mound Fort has taken quite a stir the last few nights!”

The Ute Indian Informant agrees with him chatting back, “Really, someone’s been knocking on their doorstep?”

Meanwhile the Union Pacific Railroad operatives continue to lay low as they watch the scene unfold. They all maintain their watch as both the Ute Indian Informant and Chief Little Indian Soldier leave taking a long winding trip around past them a ways. It seems as though they are trying to stay away from anyone until they get a good distance past the outside camps.

Once they start to fade away behind some nearby trees, the railroad construction manager Gus wonders what’s going down asking, “I wonder what that’s all about?”

The railroad office manager is curious as well, although he has no idea who any of them are saying, “I not sure; we have never seen them before!”

Finally one of the tour guides makes an identity to one of them shilling out, “That’s Chief Little Indian Soldier leaving with that same Indian who’s been coming around here and there!”

The railroad construction manager Gus relates, “Yes, he looks familiar from the other night like one of the faces hiding back there behind the trees next to the Civil War Quarters!”

Next back behind them at the Mound Fort Artillery Base, the fort commander has been keeping his eye on things and he has noticed the Ute Indian Informant approach Chief Little Indian Soldier. He also noticed that they had conversed some talking back and forth before heading out around the south end of the tree lines that surround the area.

As nightfall reaches closer and closer, the fort commander looks to the Ogden Mountain Man who has been keeping his eye on the activity of the two. Right away, he shrills out his feelings saying, “Looks like they are up to something!”

By then, Captain James S. Brown wonders what’s going on with the little flash Chief Little Indian Soldier gave to the Ute Indian Informant before they both turned around and split probing, “What was that little flash of Chief Little Indian Soldier lifting his shirt up?”

There’s no doubt in the Ogden Mountain Man’s mind that Chief Little Indian Soldier must have flashed a gun or some kind of big skinning knife to the Ute Indian Informant. And the Ute Indian Informant seemed excited to see what was in store with his arsenal. But after that they both left like they were in a hurry of some sort.

With this inclination coming to eye, the Ogden Mountain Man answers back telling them, “He must have flashed a gun or some kind of large skinning knife, or something!”

By now, Captain James S. Brown can kind of see what’s going on as far as their leaving and heading the long way around. So far it appears as though they are trying to hide the fact that they are taking the long way around to meet with the Ute, Shoshoni, and Navajo Indian Warriors on the other side of the Civil War Quarters.

Right then, Captain James S. Brown continues looking out past the viewing ramp uttering, “Looks like they are going to meet up with their Ute and Shoshoni Indian Warrior friends!”

Nevertheless the fort commander is anticipating another night of pure hell exclaiming, “It looks like we are in for another night of hell!”

The Ogden Mountain Man can only think about how the fort commander had left Nicolaus and Peter in the Civil War Quarters to watch over things while he was here at the Mound Fort Artillery Base asking, “What about Nicolaus and Peter who are still down there watching the Civil War Quarters?”

Immediately the fort commander feels like he should be down there accompanying them both instead of leaving them all alone when he’s fully responsible uniting, “Maybe I’d better get down there before Chief Little Indian Soldier and the Ute Indian Informant reach the rest of the group!”

Now the Ogden Mountain Man wonders what the fort commander will what them all to do in the meantime questioning, “What should we all do in the meantime?”

The fort commander starts to walk away like he’s anxious to be down there at the Civil War Quarters before any of the Ute, Shoshoni, or Navajo Indian Warriors show up down there answering back, “I want the three of you to form a small band of militia to flank the west side of the Civil War Quarters if they get too close!”

Thereafter the fort commander makes his exit as he hurriedly leaves heading down the hill towards the Civil War Quarters. As he leaves nightfall begins to set as the dusk skies begin to fade in the western horizon. It seems that the Ogden Mountain Man and Captain James S. Brown have a dilemma of gathering a few more men besides themselves and the night watchman.

And they need to do that in order to flank the Ute, Shoshoni, and Navajo Indian Warriors from getting too close to the Civil War Quarters let alone the Mound Fort Artillery Fort. Once the fort commander leaves wanting to beat the others at their game of reaching their friends before the fort commander can reach the Civil War Quarters, the Ogden Mountain Man and Captain James S. Brown decide to do what they can for now.

The Ogden Mountain Man makes a comment blabbing, “How do you like that? He’s heading down there when all of those Indians are probably down there ready to jump him, perhaps?”

Without a doubt Captain James S. Brown sticks up for the fort commander reckoning that he’s out for the best interest of his men saying, “Well, he’s probably looking out for his men!”

The night watchman remains on the viewing ramp watching as the fort commander makes his way down the hill on foot only carrying a pistol just in case any of the Ute, Shoshoni, or Navajo Indians comes his way when he’s not expecting anything. After a few moments, the fort commander disappears under some trees that are blocking much of the view of the Civil War Quarters down the hill from the Mound Fort Artillery Base.

The night watchman thinks about the fort commander and his men being in the Civil War Quarters commenting, “They’re sitting ducks down there!”

“What should we do, we can’t see that much from way up here?” The Ogden Mountain Man asks as he looks out from the viewing ramp watching and waiting.

“Is there somewhere where we can get a little closer to the Civil War Quarters without any of the Ute or Shoshoni Indians seeing any of us?” That’s what Captain James S. Brown answers back wondering how to get a closer view.

The night watchman thinks about it for a moment before saying, “There’s really nowhere that we can go to get close without the chance of being seen!”

The Ogden Mountain Man thinks about the other men they saw camped out down to the southwest end of the Civil War Quarters telling them both, “Well, it’s dark enough but there’s still those Union Pacific Railroad Operatives or whoever they are down there watching too?”

Without hesitating any further, Captain James S. Brown wonders what they should do querying, “Maybe, we ought to round up a few men in the meantime until our messengers return?”

The night watchman has some ideas on whom to ask to help them out acting as militia for the time being saying, “I have some ideas about who we can ask to help us out!”

The Ogden Mountain Man is eager to get a move on to counter attack anything the Ute, Shoshoni, and Navajo Indians have planned coming forth with, “That sounds good to me; let’s round them up!”

At about this time, Demon has caught his way up to the Ute Indian band who has reached their way within sight of their hideout a ways away from the Civil War Quarters. As Demon approaches, he quickly decides to slow down to try and avoid the Ute Indian band before they notice him.

Demon does this considering that he is heading over there only to meet back up with the Ute, Shoshoni, and Navajo Indian Warriors in order to redeem the fun that he had the previous night messing with the Civil War Quarters. To avoid them he simply heads northwest towards where the tree lines hold the Ute, Shoshoni, and Navajo Indian Warrior’s hideout.

Once he nears the hideaway, Demon hears some slight voices talking among the darkness within the trees. Nightfall has come and many of their shadows are still their below the light from the moon that shines overhead. Nevertheless Demon makes his way over to the Ute, Shoshoni, and Navajo Indian Warriors who are there greeting Chief Little Indian Soldier who has just arrived with the Ute Indian Informant.

The moment Chief Little Indian Soldier and the Ute Indian Informant arrive, Demon stops a little ways before to avoid being spotted right away. Immediately the Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse approaches Chief Little Indian Soldier saying, “There he is, the one I wanted to see!”

Next Chief Little Indian Soldier looks around at all of the different groups of Indian Warriors standing around in low key while some of them are burrowed and dug in throughout the bases of many of the trees. At first, he doesn’t realize how many are there until he notices many of them scuffle around in the darkness and Chief Little Indian Soldier begins to see the whole picture.

Straightway Chief Little Indian Soldier looks back to the Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse describing, “Looks like the whole gang is here with you?”

By now, the Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse feels that he has Chief Little Indian Soldier right where he wants him telling him, “Everybody is here!”

The Ute Indian Scout looks to Chief Little Indian Soldier only to make a smart like comment to him stating, “That’s why you’re here; so we have the whole entire gang here with us!”

The Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse looks to the head Shoshoni Indian Warrior who turns to shake the Chief Little Indian Soldier’s hand while chatting, “Come on, it will be fun!”

Seconds in to Chief Little Indian Soldier’s arrival, the Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse is more than ready to get on with the show pushing at him as he points towards the Civil War Quarters, “I have something in store for that place!”

Immediately the Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse picks up a wolf head mask that he had made especially for the new initiation for the taking of the Civil War Quarters. In fact, he has a few of them to go around that were made for this special reason. As he picks it up, he starts to act like he’s going to put it on, although he turns and hands it to Chief Little Indian Soldier who is more than excited.

Finally Demon decides that this is his cue to make his appearance considering he has been standoffish at first. The arrival of Chief Little Indian Soldier had made his arrival confusing because he remembers his scent form up around the4 Mound Fort Artillery Base camps outside. But now he feels that he should join the large band of Ute, Shoshoni, and Navajo Indians to reclaim his honor.

When Demon first runs up in to the mob of Indians, a couple of Ute and Shoshoni Indians notice him calling out, “Demon, Demon is here!”

The Navajo Indian Skin Walker approaches Chief Little Indian Soldier telling him, “I knew he’d show that Demon!”

Chief Little Indian Soldier looks at the wolf mask and then Demon and says, “Alright, let’s do this!”

First off, Chief Little Indian Soldier puts the wolf mask on and calls to Demon saying, “Come on Demon!”

Immediately Chief Little Indian Soldier darts towards the Civil War Quarters as Demon looks confused for a moment before following after him. And then, all of the Ute, Shoshoni, and Navajo Warriors become excited as they watch the games of their taking the place begins. However they all try to keep the peace and quiet for now until things take on their own course of action.

While Chief Little Indian Soldier approaches the Civil War Quarters, the fort Commander who has snuck back inside through the crawl space without letting anybody notice him is looking out the window watching them both approach. And of course, Nicolaus and Peter are watching things unfold as well with some confusion.

The fort commander can’t believe his eyes, although he makes a comment to Nicolaus and Peter explaining; “Now they are disguising themselves!”

Right away, Peter comes up with a question asking, “What are the rest of them waiting for?”

The fort commander has no idea what they are waiting for answering back with, “Must be waiting for something!”

Nevertheless Chief Little Indian Soldier nears the Civil War Quarters as Nicolaus recognizes his body shape even though the head is covered up commenting, “I bet you that Chief Little Indian Soldier; you said he was with them!”

The fort commander can agree with him no less considering that he did see Chief Little Indian Soldier leave the Ute Indian Informant just a little while earlier before leaving the Mound Fort Artillery Base. In fact, he seems to have a profile on everyone around the area when it comes to recognizing people’s body shapes and body sizes.

The fort commander continues looking out a spot in the front side window within the front room of the Civil War Quarters saying, “I think you’re right; it looks like they have been supplying him guns while having him initiated in their cause!”

As Chief Little Indian Soldier approaches the place, he heads towards the front of the Civil War Quarters while Demon follows not caring whether or not any of them inside are watching. Right away, Chief Little Indian Soldier creeps up to the front window of the house trying to peek in while wearing the wolf mask that the Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse had given to him.

Immediately Demon makes his way once again onto the front porch of the Civil War Quarters while stopping and waiting for the right time to do his game of knocking that he likes to do. Meanwhile the Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse who was informed by one of the Navajo Renegades that he saw the fort commander sneak his way back in to the Civil War Quarters starts to step forward from his position within the tree lines.

As he does, he looks back to some of the Shoshoni Indian Renegades and some of the Navajo Renegades saying, “So he has snuck his way back inside the Civil War Quarters!”

The head Shoshoni Indian Warrior steps towards the Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse remarking, “This ought to be interesting!”

Now Chief Little Indian Soldier starts to wave his gun towards the window while peeking inside. Moments later, the inside flooring creeks as Peter makes his way over towards the front window of the Civil War Quarters. When Peter looks out past the drapes that are there covering the windows, he notices a wolf mask staring right at him with a gun pointed at the window. Then quickly the wolf face moves away around the western corning of the building.

After the disguised Chief Little Indian Soldier clears the window, Peter turns to Nicolaus and the fort commander saying, “He just slipped around towards the west side of the house towards the water trough!”

In the meantime, Demon tries knocking with his right rear leg a couple of times before taking off in the direction that Chief Little Indian Soldier went darting off around the corner. Without any further hesitation, the fort commander figures that it has to be the wolf that was running along with Chief Little Indian Soldier saying, “It’s was that wolf right there on the porch!”

Then Peter comes back after noticing the black wolf rounding the corner behind his friend saying, “The wolf just went around the corner!”

The fort commander thinks about how Chief Little Indian Soldier seems to have possession of a weapon of some kind coming back with, “Looks like that Chief Little Indian Soldier can add weapons to his list of things!”

For some reason Demon kind of feels like trying to make his way back in to and underneath the crawl space as Chief Little Indian Soldier continues making his way around to all of the windows of the Civil War Quarters while peeking in each and every one of them. Once he makes his way to the back porch window, Chief Little Indian Soldier stops and then looks around a bit.

Next he walks and dances his way to the back porch door before banging the back door as loud as he can in order to get their attention. The banging is so loud that it can be heard inside as well as outside for a good number of yards. He repeats the hard knocking for a good few seconds in order to get their attention.

Meanwhile Demon tries to digs his way under the wooden access door to the crawl space bearing in mind the fact that it has been secured since the last time he had snuck his way underneath.

Finally Chief Little Indian Soldier makes his way to the back window on the east side of the Civil War Quarters while the fort commander walks in to the middle room saying, “Now this is really getting on my nerves!”

The fort commander grabs his pistol and heads towards the back rear window while more knocks come to the back window on the east side turning the fort commander around to the other wall of the Civil War Quarters. When the fort commander approaches the window he holds his gun to it while standing off to the side giving himself some cover just in case a shell is shot off.

Nicolaus and Peter stand in the birch wooded doorway watching as the fort commander stands there waiting and watching with the lantern lights dimmed really low. At the back of the Civil War Quarters Demon continues trying to dig his way under the access panel door to the crawl space. In fact, Demon is very close to slipping through the hole he has dug, although he still has a ways to go.

Chief Little Indian Soldier decides to scoot his way to the next window over towards the front of the Civil War Quarters as the fort commander can hear his footsteps creaking in the brush from the trees around the place. The fort commander makes his way again in to the front room following besides him from the inside of the Civil War Quarters.

Then from the outside some of the Ute and Shoshoni Indian Renegades start calling Chief Little Indian Soldier back as the Ute Indian Warrior Mean horse yells out, “Come out from there!”

Right away, Chief Little Indian Soldier turns around heading back to the group of Ute, Shoshoni, and Navajo Indian Warriors who are all ready for anything to come their way. Thereafter Demon stops his digging and retreats along with Chief Little Indian Soldier who has nearly given them some confusion.

Moments later, one of the Navajo Indian Renegades yells out, “Come out with your hands up!”

The Navajo Indian Warrior Chief tries to calm them down by saying out loud, “Calm down a little; we don’t want to get too excited!”

Instantaneously all of the Ute, Shoshoni, and Navajo Indian Warriors start laughing like it were some sort of game going on. A few seconds go by and the chuckles stop as Chief Little Indian Soldier and Demon make their way behind their lines of retreating in to the trees.

Once they arrive behind the lines of Indians, the Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse feels that maybe they have given them a scare saying, “That ought to rouse them all up a bit!”

A little ways away, the Union Pacific Railroad operatives have been witnessing what has happened. After things have cooled off, the railroad office manager asks, “Who were those two dogs?”

Straight forth the railroad construction manager Gus has a keen eye which tends to see things the other way as he communicates, “It looked like a wolf and someone dressed up in a wolf mask perhaps!”

From that time on one of the tour guides, who are trying to stay neutral to the situation, comments, “The Indians are just messing around with them all!”

It seems a little odd to the railroad office manager that the fort commander would even stay in the Civil War Quarters with so many Ute, Shoshoni, and Navajo Indian Warriors watching the place. And at any time they could all just ransack the Civil War Quarters chasing him and his two soldiers out of there. Then on the other note there are only a few good handfuls of local farmers who are there and able to try and protect their farming land.

With all of these images running amuck in his mind, the railroad construction manager Gus relents, “I’m surprised the fort commander chooses to stay when those Indians who are about to take over that place!”

Then from within the talking walls of the inside whispers of the Civil War Quarters, the fort commander say, “Maybe it’s time we abandon this place and return to the Mound Fort Artillery Base in the morning? It’s too risky now with them angry Indians around!”

The Navajo Indian Warrior Chief doesn’t hear anything coming from the inside as far as noises goes remarking, “It sounds quiet inside like nobody’s there!”

Then soon after a few minutes of quietness, another voice coming from the head Shoshoni Indian Warrior yells, “Come on out, what are you waiting for?”

Lastly one of the Navajo Indian Renegades makes a remark to the others telling them, “It’s about time for a lynching!”

CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN

Finally the next morning comes where the fort commander along with Nicolaus and Peter decide to all make their way to the Mound Fort Artillery Base. Many of the Ute, Shoshoni, and Navajo Warriors have stayed this time instead of returning to their hideout which they consider a temporary camp. By now, they have all decided to make the tree lines a permanent camp until they can proceed further with their intentions.

When they first leave, the fort commander locks the back door after his roommates leave and walk out telling them both, “There’s too many of them to stay right now to stay here!”

Afterwards Nicolaus answers back with, “Let’s just head back to Mound Fort to attend our horses until we can decide what to do in the meantime!”

As they turn around the back corner of the house just past the salt cellar, the Navajo Indian Skin Walker says to everyone standing and waiting around, “I think we’d scared them off!”

Thereafter the Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse shrills out, “They’ll be back once they round up a few more men and tend their horses!”

Next the railroad construction manager Gus watches them head up the hill to Mound Fort saying, “At least they took their guns along with them!”

The railroad office manager figures they are heading back to Mound Fort commenting; “Looks like they are heading back to Mound Fort!”

Another thing that the railroad construction manager Gus noticed was that Chief Little Indian Soldier had left and returned to the camps outside of the Mound Fort Artillery Base saying, “I wonder why that Chief Little Indian Soldier had returned back to camp”.

Of course, the railroad office manager noticed that too he had returned before the sunrise came which seemed sort of odd for some reason as he retorts, “He probably wanted to return before daybreak!”

Meanwhile Demon has followed the fort commander and his two soldiers along their walk up to the Mound Fort Artillery Base. And just before reaching the crest of the hill to the east, Demon pops out from behind some trees growling and showing his saliva dripping teeth wanting some payback of his own.

Immediately Nicolaus is the first to turn looking Demon straight in to his red blood shot glowing eyes that are narrowed down on him. As he first looks at Demon, Nicolaus tries to scare him off by turning and darting at Demon which only makes the wolf more angry rushing closer and closer towards them all.

Peter picks up some branches and throws them at him, although Demon ignores it with lots of anger towards them all. Meanwhile the fort commander tries to persuade them all to move faster saying, “Come on, just forget about the wolf and let’s hurry up and get inside the fort!”

Nevertheless Demon continues growling and chasing them from behind until they turn the corner around the high maddened walls which lead to the entrance of the Mound Fort Artillery Base. Nicolaus and peter continue to shake the wolf Demon off the best they can without trying to shoot him, although Peter points his pistol at him a few times wanting to anyhow.

Once the fort commander, Nicolaus, and Peter make their way inside the high maddened walls, the Ogden Mountain Man and Captain James S. Brown approach them from the viewing platform with such curiosity about that night inside the Civil War Quarters. It seems they decided to only watch rather than get too close to cause a confrontation until some back up arrives if ever.

Straight with from the start, the Ogden Mountain Man coins a term asking, “I thought you’d never make it with all of them Indians down there?”

Next the fort commander wonders where they were at the whole time questioning, “Where have you all been the entire time?”

The Ogden Mountain Man feels that they did the right thing waiting it out while watching from the viewing platform saying, “We figured we’d better watch and wait for some back up to show up from the other forts!”

Then the fort commander wonders if anyone of the messengers have shown back up from their travels querying, “I take it none of the messengers have shown back up as of yet?”

Captain James S. Brown has an answer for his curiosities telling him, “No, neither of the messengers has shown back up yet!”

The fort commander has a correlation to that citing, “None of them have returned with any reinforcements?”

The Ogden Mountain man comes back with a short preoccupied answer saying, “No, no one!”

The fort commander gets back to the heart of the matter explaining, “Well, the Ute and Shoshoni Indians are still there and I reckon that there are many Navajo Indians there with them also!”

Right away, Nicolaus comes back adding to the note of things, “And so is that wolf that has been stalking the Civil War Quarters!”

Then Peter realizes that it appears to be a different wolf altogether going further with, “It looks like a different wolf from that one night a long while ago!”

The fort commander thinks back to seeing Chief Little Indian Soldier back at his tent since they had seen the Ute Indian Informant and himself leave heading out to meet up with the Ute, Shoshoni, and Navajo Warriors carrying on telling them, “It also looks like Chief Little Indian Soldier is back at his camp after his trying to scare us out of the Civil War Quarters last night!”

Captain James S. Brown wonders what he’s talking about asking, “What, Chief Little Indian Soldier was stalking the Civil War Quarters?”

The fort commander comes back with a positive identification along with Nicolaus and Peter’s recognizing him answering back, ‘Yes, Chief Little Indian Soldier was stalking the place wearing a wolf mask while waving a gun around at the windows of the Civil War Quarters trying to scare us out. So we just waited until morning to make our routinely trip up here to Mound Fort as usual.”

By now, Captain James S. Brown knows what to do to get some retaliation before any of the messengers show back up or before the Ute, Shoshoni, and Navajo Indian Warriors can cause any more damage saying, “Well, I think we should go down there and disarm that Chief Little Indian Soldier!”

The fort commander agrees with Captain James S. Brown answering him back saying, “Yes, I think we should disarm him before he regroups with those Indians again tonight!”

The Ogden Mountain Man figures that he ought to stay back and watch from a distance considering that he should only act in as back up. And this is just in case Chief Little Indian Soldier tries to resist being disarmed or having his weapons taken away from him. But of course, the Ogden Mountain Man realizes that the Ute, Shoshoni, and Navajo Indian Warriors are still down there and they will be watching most definitely without any doubt.

Anyways the Ogden Mountain Man mentions this before they decide to head straight over to Chief Little Indian Soldiers camp saying, “I’ll keep an eye out watching just in case you need any back up because those Indian Warriors will be watching the entire time!”

Right away, the fort commander and Captain James S. Brown make their way down towards Chief Little Indian Soldier while he’s trying to act nonchalant about the situation. It doesn’t but a few moments before the Ute, Shoshoni, and Navajo Indian Warriors notice their approach to him as they keep a watchful eye out on everything.

Immediately the Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse notices this telling the others, “It looks like they are approaching Chief Little Indian Soldier’s camp!”

The Ute Indian band, who has been keeping very quiet on the situation, notice this too especially with the Ute, Shoshoni, and Navajo Indian Warriors getting frustrated over something which seems to be getting them all roused up. Nevertheless the Ute Indian band can see some trouble brewing off in the distance in which all of the Indian Warriors are focusing much of their attention.

Furthermore Black Wolf Ute Indian is curious as to what’s happening querying, “I wonder what has them all fired up?”

Moments later, one of the members of the Ute Indian band notices that they are getting so roused up that many of the Ute, Shoshoni, and Navajo Indian Warriors are about to storm off heading over towards Mound Fort for some unknown reason. Then Sharp Arrow Ute Indian realizes that the fort commander and Captain James S. Brown are all over searching around Chief Little Indian Soldier’s camp like they mean business.

By getting to the point of the matter, Sharp Arrow Ute Indian tells the others as he tried to peek his way through the brush after leaving for a few minutes to see what they all were looking at for the last few minutes or so explaining, “It looks like the fort commander and Captain James S. Brown are up their confronting Chief Little Indian Soldier about what happened last night!”

At about that moment in time, the head Shoshoni Indian Warrior begins to become unnerved saying, “Looks like they are searching through his belongings while taking his weapons away that we all supplied him with?”

The Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse is beginning to become on edge as he tries to think what to do with this situation that has turned around and spun the other way which is getting out of control. In fact, for a moment there it appears as though he desperately wants to engage a few of his own men in a quick skirmish of retaliation in order to diffuse the event.

However the words that come from out of his mouth are otherwise as he scrambles up, “Ah, no big deal taking some of our weapons away!”

The Navajo Indian Skin Walker thinks about how they have plenty of more weapons anyways correlating, “So what, we have plenty of guns as well as bows and arrows anyhow!”

Just so many of yards away, the Ute Indian band has still been watching the whole scene with the Ute, Shoshoni, and Navajo Indian Warriors reactions. Every one of them is getting nervous though as they all try to keep from being scene, although they can’t help but talk about it over and over again to each other.

That’s when Lone Wolf Ute Indian makes a statement that is overly louder than the previous lines conversed between one other when he says, “Looks like they are just brushing the whole situation off!”

Thereafter one of the Navajo Indian Renegades sees the Ute Indian band hiding out from them all in the distance. Moments later, he heads over to the Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse to notify them of their presence. It’s pretty obvious that they have been hiding out there for a while in a spot that is further away than the others.

The Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse turns away from the Navajo Indian Renegade saying openly to where only his army of Indians can hear him announcing softly in a low mean tone, “Really, they’re hiding out watching from over there?”

The Navajo Indian Warrior Chief decides that they should go grab them all and bring them over to the group commanding, “Just grab them and bring them over here!”

After hearing those words, the Ute Indian Informant while angry from what has been happening turns and heads over towards the Ute Indian band. It only takes a few moments before the Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse figures that the Ute Indian Informant will teach them a lesson when he approaches them saying to some of his friends, “That will teach them to spy on us!”

Now the Ute Indian Scout has his thoughts on Eagle Feather Ute Indian being the cause of this entire spy scheme explaining, “It’s because of Eagle Feather!”

And just before the Ute Indian Informant makes his way to their new hiding place, Den Wolf Mother Ute Indian quills out lightly, “I told you not to talk to loud or run out there!”

When the Ute Indian Informant gets there, he asks, “What do you all think you are all doing watching us?”

With much confusion, Sharp Arrow Ute Indian comes up with a very good explanation telling him, “We came here to back you all up!”

Without causing any trouble, the Ute Indian Informant comes back with a command cringing, “Then gets over there and back us all up!”

Quickly the Ute Indian band leaves their newest hideout edition in order to follow behind the Ute Indian Informant on their way back to the group of Ute, Shoshoni, and Navajo Indian Warriors. The whole area is covered with Indians staging the Civil War Quarters while thinking what to do to advance ahead.

Finally the Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse realizes that the fort commander and Captain James S. Brown are still messing around with Chief Little Indian Soldier while taking all of his property away from him such as weaponry. Now is the time to try and advance and take the Civil War Quarters while the fort commander and his two officers are gone staging themselves at the Mound Fort Artillery Base.

The head Shoshoni Indian Warrior tries to motivate the Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse by saying to him, “Now is the time to take the Civil War Quarters!”

The Navajo Indian Warrior Chief feels that they should make the Civil War Quarters their office and headquarters saying, “We should make the Civil War Quarters are headquarters!”

The Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse decides it’s time to wait it out until Chief Little Indian Soldier joins back up with them all before going any further. He watches and thinks about what his friend has said with much patience even though he’s all nerves about moving ahead with his plans.

The Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse looks to his friend the head Shoshoni Indian Warrior before saying, “Let’s wait until Chief Little Indian Soldier returns to explain what happened and we’ll see what happened before moving ahead.”

The Navajo Indian Skin Walker, who is standing near, figures that he’s right in his choice of waiting by declaring, “If we do anything in now, they might try and take him and arrest him or something!”

The Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse thinks about giving it another night before they try and push or advance their line further towards the Mound Fort Artillery Base taking the Civil War Quarters reassembling, “We’ll wait another night before we push any further taking the Civil War Quarters!”

The Ute Indian Scout, who is standing near, comes out adding, “This will give them a chance to build up their infantry!”

The Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse has only a humorous line asking, “What infantry?”

Just then, the Ute Indian band, who are standing in the background acting nonchalant, are caught in the attention of the Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse as he says, “So you’ve all been watching us? Who put you up to it Eagle Feather?”

The head Shoshoni Indian Warrior notices that the fort commander and Captain James S. Brown have left noting, “The fort commander and Captain James S. Brown have left and the Ogden Mountain Man is walking out to greet them back!”

The Ute Indian Warrior Mean horse looks back noticing answering back, “Good, they are all here!”

Once she has heard those words, Den Wolf Mother Ute Indian decides to tell the truth before being in any trouble with the Ute, Shoshoni, and Navajo Indian Warriors telling him, “Yes, Eagle Feather sent us here to watch out for him!”

After thinking these thoughts through a few seconds, the Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse comments, “He has you all watching out for him; and if I know Eagle Feather he has others watching out for him too!”

The head Shoshoni Indian Warrior asks the Ute Indian band, “Who else would Eagle Feather have watching out for him?”

Right away, while trying to gain their trust back within the Indian Warrior community, Black Wolf Ute Indian decides to tell the truth explaining, “Eagle Feather has his Ute Indian Tracker watching and reporting back every day!”

But of course, the Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse just doesn’t stop there wondering who else would he have besides his own Ute Indian Tracker saying, “And who else would he have besides his Ute Indian Tracker watching us?”

Then White Wolf Ute Indian can’t think of anyone else and it seems as though they are talking to some crazy Indian Warriors at this point answering back, “There isn’t anybody else!”

The Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse looks to some of the Shoshoni and Navajo Indian Renegades commanding, “Take a few men and look around to see if there’s anyone out there watching us!”

Hurriedly a few of the Shoshoni and Navajo Indian Renegades leaves trying to look around the distant and nearby tree lines for Eagle Feather Ute Indian’s own personal Ute Indian Tracker. They will especially keep an eye out for anyone else who might happen to be out there as well. Who knows in their minds who all might be out there keeping a close eye on them anyhow?

In the meantime the railroad construction manager Gus notices that the fort commander and Captain James S. Brown have taken some weapons away from that Chief Little Indian Soldier. Of course they had to walk a ways out of their way in order to catch a glimpse of that activity along with many others who have been camped around the close vicinity.

With the ending of that action while trying to focus back on the activities of the Ute, Shoshoni, and Navajo Indian Warriors, the railroad construction manager Gus clarifies, “Looks like they have disarmed that Chief Little Indian Soldier of all of his weapons!”

The railroad office manager thinks about that for a moment while answering back, “That’s what that was all about when you walked over that way?”

The railroad construction manager comes back clearing up the incident, “Yes, the fort commander and Captain James S. Brown were over there looking through everything of his and they took some weapons away from him!”

One of the tour guides begins to get some impressions that indicate how the fort commander has evened up with the Ute, Shoshoni, and Navajo Indian Warriors telling, “The fort commander has evened the score for now!”

The railroad construction manager Gus realizes that the tour guide is right, although he figures that there’s more to come intending, “It won’t be long before Chief Little Indian Soldier joins back with the Indians for good!”

Currently inside the high mudded walls of the Mound Fort Artillery Base, the fort commander is downstairs putting Chief Little Indian Soldier’s arsenal inside one of the rooms next to the arsenal room where they keep most of their artillery. Nicolaus quickly approaches the fort commander wondering if he has made the right choice and what the consequences will be now that they have really angered the Ute, Shoshoni, and Navajo Indian Warriors.

Straight forth Nicolaus asks the fort commander, “Was that the right choice?”

The fort commander closes the desk drawer and turns to leave the room answering back diligently, “Yes, now the Ute and Shoshoni Indian Warriors have less weapons to use against us!”

Then he heads upstairs as Nicolaus follows from behind with the thoughts of the Ute, Shoshoni, and Navajo Indian Warriors still having plenty of arms. As the fort commander heads back towards the outside, Peter turns to the fort commander wondering if he had put Chief Little Indian Soldier’s confiscated weapons away.

As he turns to the fort commander, Peter asks, “So where did you put his weapons at?”

The fort commander passes him up while walking over to Captain James S. Brown and the Ogden Mountain Man, who are near the viewing platform waiting for some kind of new plan for now, saying, “They’re in a safe place!”

Immediately Peter wonders if they should add those weapons to their own arsenal saying, “Shouldn’t we be handing those weapons out for our own people?”

Right away, the fort commander turns around with an aroused attitude saying, “We can’t use illegal contraband!”

Soon Captain James S. Brown steps in to the conversation saying, “Come on, he’s right! We can’t use any weapons used by the Indians!”

The Ogden Mountain Man steps in adding to the conversation, “Don’t worry, when the messengers arrive with some help we’ll head back to Captain James S. Brown’s Fort to bring back some supplies by way of a wagon cart!”

Without any more hesitations, Nicolaus wonders if they will be bringing anymore men as infantry back along with them as well interrogating, “Will you be bringing some men back along with you that we can use as infantry?”

After thinking about that for a brief second and without any doubt, Captain James S. Brown comes forth telling them all, “Yes, I will be bringing a few spare men back along with us, although I can’t leave the fort too unoccupied while I’m here!”

Next Peter agrees saying, “Yes, then the Ute and Shoshoni Indians could have a chance at your fort which could be one of their tactics in case they can’t take Mound Fort!”

Finally from a distance away, the sounds of some Ute, Shoshoni, and Navajo Indians are heard howling and yodeling at the Civil War Quarters from the far distance. The fort commander wonders what’s going on asking, “What are the Indians doing now?”

The Ogden Mountain Man comes out explaining how they don’t know because they have been laying low saying, “I don’t know; we haven’t been up on the viewing platform just in case they’re watching!”

The fort commander decides to command them back on top of the viewing platform ordering, “Climb up there and see what there are doing anyhow!”

It seems that Captain James S. Brown thinks that it’s too hard to see anything from up there anyhow considering that there are too many trees in the way. And there are too many branches always blowing in the wind over the distance between the Mound Fort Artillery Base and the Civil War Quarters.

“It’s hard to get a good view of the Civil War Quarters from up on the viewing platform because of all of the trees in the way!”

This is what Captain James S. Brown says to the fort commander while everyone is right there listening as they wait for their messengers in the meantime.

Moreover the fort commander who never seems to use the viewing platform because he has no time and not to leave out the fact that he leaves that job for night watchman of the Mound Fort Artillery Base anyways. And the other point of the matter is that he is always traveling down the hill from there to the Civil War Quarters on a daily basis and most of the time he has tried to ignore the problems with the Ute and Shoshoni Indians.

With that in mind, the fort commander comes back explaining, “Well, there’s nothing I can do except for have some landscaping done such as cutting and trimming some of those trees down a lot!”

Meanwhile down near the Civil War Quarters the Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse is there writing a note that he has pinned on an arrow. And right next to him waits Demon who is anxious enough to rouse up over something. The Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse takes a bow and places the arrow in the bow making it ready to shoot towards the Civil War Quarters.

With the arrow with a noted piece of paper attached to it, the Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse gets ready to aim saying out loud, “Here, I’ll leave him a note for when he returns for the day!”

The Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse aims and shoots the arrow at the back door sticking it right in to the birch wood framing that encases the doorway. When it hits it makes a loud thudded sound that vibrates back towards the group of Ute, Shoshoni, and Navajo Indian Warriors.

Afterwards the Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse figures that was a tight shot landing one right in to the door framing with a note on it for the fort commander. Straight off everyone wants to know what he scribbled on there with a piece of crayon that was made from some colored wax that he must have bought or traded from Eagle Feather Ute Indian.

Right away, the Navajo Indian Skin Walker wonders what he wrote on the note querying, “What did you write on the note you shot over there?”

The Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse comes back telling him what he had wrote on the note correlating, “I wrote “Move out” on the note with this red wax crayon I got from Eagle Feather.”

The head Shoshoni Indian Warrior thinks about that for a second or so before saying, “Wonder what he’ll think of that when he sees it?”

The Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse comes back with his aspirations signifying, “Well, he’ll read it and know that he has bought some time for another day!”

The Navajo Indian Warrior Chief has a funny comment to make chatting, “Hope he brought some moving boxes and carriages!”

Just at about that moment, Demon barks and growls at some of the Shoshoni and Navajo Indian Renegades riding on horse as they approach with someone else on foot walking his own horse. The Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse and his comrades’ entirely look as they all turn the bend coming around some trees off in the nearby distance.

The Ute Indian Scout takes a look recognizing Eagle Feather Ute Indian’s own personal friendly Ute Indian Tracker as he approaches without any real choice in the matter. He and some of the other Ute, Shoshoni, and Navajo Indian Warriors look with a chuckle while some have some more serious looks upon their own faces.

The Ute Indian Scout sees him coming along with the Shoshoni and Navajo Indian Renegades saying, “Look what we have here!”

The Ute Indian Informant takes a shot at making a slang sort of comment cringing, “Some more help has come to further our cause!”

Of course, the Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse has something along the lines of being sterner with Eagle Feather Ute Indian’s own personal Ute Indian Tracker. In fact, he wants to get right to the point within the matter before they make their advances towards the Civil War Quarters.

The Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse puts himself in the Ute Indian Tracker’s place by surrogating, “If I were you I’d say that they caught me spying for Eagle Feather!”

The Ute Indian Tracker figures that they caught him and there’s absolutely nothing that he can do about except tell the truth and join their cause once again admitting sort of like, “Well, you caught me!”

The Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse wonders what to do with him as well as the Ute Indian band. They are all standing there like they are unsure what to do with themselves in the meantime while he decides to scold them for their treachery against the Ute, Shoshoni, and Navajo Indian Warriors.

At that moment, one of the Navajo Indian Renegades out, “I say we initiate him in to our group again!”

The Navajo Indian Warrior Chief feels that they should hold them there no matter what the consequence telling them all, “I say we keep them here and make them fight along besides us all!”

The Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse thinks about that idea for a brief moment or so before coming up with his own plans for punishment saying, “I don’t know what to do with you all for giving in to Eagle Feather’s plan for peace with our ancestral burial grounds.”

Just then, Demon begins growling at the Ute Indian Tracker for following him a many times that he had noticed through watching Eagle Feather Ute Indian and his talking to his Ute Indian Tracker on occasion here and there. There were times when he had been laying on his mother’s wolf skin while watching the conversation from inside Eagle Feather Ute Indian’s trader teepee.

Then when he would leave to try and find the whereabouts of the Ute Indian Warriors, just before they had reunited with the Shoshoni Indian Warriors, Demon had noticed from a distance that he was indeed being followed. And he knew for a fact that it was this Ute Indian Tracker that would come to talk to Eagle Feather Ute Indian on many distinct occasions.

As Demon stares the Ute Indian Tracker down, the Ute Indian Informant makes a request probing them all, “Why don’t we make him stay and forget about that Eagle Feather?”

The Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse feels that that is a swell idea considering they can’t allow him to leave to tell Eagle Feather Ute Indian how he had been caught by the Ute, Shoshoni, and Navajo Indian Warriors by being careless and too observant. Nevertheless Demon lies off for a moment while the rest of the Indian warriors think what to do even though his idea sounds good enough for now.

Without any negatives idea towards the Ute Indian Informant and his plan, the Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse says to the Ute Indian Tracker, “I think that’s a good idea! You’ll stay here with us and back us up in the meantime while Eagle Feather finds some others to come to try and stop us from attacking this Civil War Quarters and Mound Fort!”

The Ute Indian Tracker tries to explain that there are no other Ute Indians of Eagle Feather Ute Indian’s watching explaining, “There are no other Ute Indians here with me, and I’m the only one that Eagle Feather sent to watch over the ancestral burial grounds.”

The Ute Indian Warrior Mean horse has a thing about that to say collaborating, “You’re the only one along with the Ute Indian band and Demon as well, huh! You know what; I think I’ve heard enough for now?”

CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT

The railroad construction manager Gus wonders what that arrow shot was for that the Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse had put in to the Christian door framing of the back porch door asking, “What was that arrow that Indian shot at the back door about?”

The railroad office manager noticed that there was a piece of paper attached to it mentioning, “I’m not sure; although there was some sort of piece of paper attached to it!”

One of the tour guides figures that the piece of paper is some sort of note or message to the fort commander by giving the details, “I bet that piece of paper was a note to the fort commander warning him to stay out!”

The railroad construction manager Gus wonders if the Ute, Shoshoni, and Navajo Warriors are ready to advance their way towards the Mound Fort Artillery Base saying, “Sounds like they’re about to try and take the Civil War Quarters over before advancing towards the Mound Fort Artillery Base!”

At about that time, Chief Little Indian Soldier leaves his camp and makes his way over to the east side of the Civil War Quarters to meet up with the Ute, Shoshoni, and Navajo Indian Warriors. He is noticed right away by many of the outside campers of Mound Fort and especially by the Union Pacific Railroad operatives.

The railroad construction manager Gus notices Chief Little Indian Soldier pass by at a distance rallying, “Looks like that Indian the fort commander was messing with is leaving and heading back over to his friends next to the Civil War Quarters.”

Meanwhile the night watchman, who is now very much in to his acting as a day watchman, is up on the viewing platform while noticing that Chief Little Indian Soldier has left his camp informing the fort commander, “Chief Little Indian Soldier has left his camp and he’s heading over towards the Civil War Quarters!”

The fort commander realizes what his intentions are saying, “He’s joining back with his Indian Warrior friends!”

Now it seems that everyone feels that the fort commander and his officers should avoid going back to the Civil War Quarters. Maybe it’s time that they stay away from the Civil War Quarters even though things could escalate in to the Ute, Shoshoni, and Navajo Indian Warriors advancing and taking it over.

The Ogden Mountain Man tries to hold the fort commander from going back to the Civil War Quarters with an authoritative attitude exasperating, “I think it would be better if you all stay here at Mound Fort until this is all over with. There are too many Indians down there now to occupy the Civil War Quarters!”

The fort commander is a little hesitant on abandoning the Civil War Quarters by expounding, “I hate to abandon the Civil War Quarters leaving it to those Ute and Shoshoni Indian Warriors!”

Meanwhile one of the inhabitants of Mound Fort who has been talking to some of the other folks comes forth with their thoughts on how they think there are also some Navajo Indian Warriors there along with the Shoshoni and Ute Indian Warriors. Many of them are standing around near the viewing platform while thinking up some of their new plans while waiting for some other help to come from some of the other nearby forts.

A female Mound Fort resident names Ezra Chase comes approaching them all expressing the rumors telling them all, “Some of the other Mound Fort residents seem to think that there are some Navajo Indian Warriors down there with the Ute and Shoshoni Indian Warriors and they aren’t going to stop until they shut these forted grounds down.”

Immediately Captain James S. Brown has to agree with her and the other Mound Fort residents adding, “If there are Navajo Indian Warriors down there then they have come a long distance all of the way from the four corners!”

The Ogden Mountain Man can only think of how they are going to need to build up more of an infantry. An infantry which will consist of mostly farmers and Mound Fort residents along with Captain James S. Brown and himself until they find others who can come to their aid. And hopefully the messengers will come back returning with some other soldiers or infantry members who can help.

The Ogden Mountain Man comes up with some sort of plea for more help insinuating, “Sounds like we’re going to need more help!”

While wondering where to dig up some more men, Nicolaus asks, “We could dig up some of the farmers to help out such as the Malan and Barker family and we can get some of the Lamb farmers and Salt Flats farmers to help out.”

Right then, the Mound Fort resident Ezra Chase steps forward one more time saying, “The Eagle Founders and Scouts said they are willing to help out and you have our support too!”

Finally at about that time one of the messengers from the Huntsville Fort up the Ogden River Canyon comes from the northwest end of the Mound Fort Artillery Base considering that they had to make some detours in their return. The horses make a loud sound as they arrive, although there are only a few men along with him. At first, it appears that everyone is having trouble with the Indians and keeping “forted up” nonetheless.

At the time they arrive, there are only three men accompanying the messenger that was sent to the Huntsville Fort. At first, the fort commander looks wondering why there are only a few men who have arrived with his messenger. But of course, everyone is short-handed since most of them had been sent back east to fight on the Union lines so the fort commander doesn’t think too depressingly about it.

Immediately the messenger stops and ties his horse off just over a water trough that is there for the horses that are held there in their stables. Then he waits for the three Huntsville Fort men to do the same as they all follow approaching the fort commander. The fort commander looks realizing that these men aren’t any infantry or militia, although he doesn’t bat an eye considering that any help is better than nothing at all.

The fort commander wonders who is accompanying their messenger asking, “So who have you brought back with you?”

The messenger surely figures that the fort commander will understand saying, “These farmers are all that they could spare from the Huntsville Fort! These two farmers are from Huntsville and this farmer is from the Eden area!”

By that time, the fort commander figures that all is well with bringing a few more farmers in to help out considering that most of the soldiers have been sent back east anyhow proclaiming, “That’s okay, as long as they can shoot a gun or rifle! It seems that every fort has sent their men back east to fight against the south!”

One of the Huntsville farmers steps forward a bit to make a comment on behalf of the Civil War commenting, “The Civil War is almost over now and all of those men who have survived will be returning home soon!”

The Ogden Mountain Man feels that maybe things will change around here once the Civil War is completely over with answering back with, “Then maybe we will get some help around these forts once they all return home.”

The fort commander has a word or to add exclaiming, “And most of them will return home to their families forgetting about any of these “Indian Forts” such as Mound Fort!”

Next the Huntsville farmer who first introduced himself through an exchange of conversation comes forth with, “Most of us are experienced with the Ute and Shoshoni Indians and have fought side by side with infantry! Just think of me as an old foggy who doesn’t like Indians too much!”

Now Captain James S. Brown figures that it’s time for him or the Ogden Mountain Man to head back to Captain James S. Brown’s Fort to bring back some help as well. However they are in the same predicament of only being able to spare a few men even though the Ute, Shoshoni, and Navajo Indian Warriors are and have gained more men for their cause.

Right at that time, Captain James S. Brown turns to the others saying, “Well now that the one of the messengers has returned, it’s time for either the Ogden Mountain Man or myself to head back to our fort to bring a few men back!”

The fort commander realizes that all of the forts are subject to attack at this time carrying on with, “Just bring back a few men that you can spare for now and we’ll deal with these Indians somehow!”

The Ogden Mountain Man decides that he ought to be the one to go and return with some men and supplies conjuring, “I’ll be the one to go while you stay here and keep an eye out with them!”

Without waiting any longer, Captain James S. Brown signals the Ogden Mountain Man to get a move on before the day ends insisting, “Well, you’d better get going before nightfall!”

Hurriedly the Ogden Mountain Man begins to head for his horse and gear while the others start to engage themselves with observing what the Ute, Shoshoni, and Navajo Indians are doing for the time being. But of course, the new arrivals of farmers are wondering the same when it comes to where the Indian Warriors are located at.

The Huntsville old foggy farmer questions them about the Indian Warriors asking, “So where are those Ute and Shoshoni Indians?”

The fort commander points down towards the Civil War Quarters giving some details with an axiom, “They’re all down there waiting by the tree just passed Civil War Quarters!”

The Huntsville old foggy farmer climbs his way up onto the viewing platform while Nicolaus tries to persuade him otherwise telling him, “It’s hard to see down there through all of the trees!”

Nevertheless the Huntsville farmer, while the other Huntsville and Eden farmer wait quietly, climbs his way up anyhow slanging, “Well, let me climb up here and see what we’re dealing with!”

Then the other Huntsville farmer decides to unpack their belongings yelling out, “I’m going to go unpack our gear!”

The Eden farmer follows behind the other to unpack while the Huntsville old foggy farmer reaches the top of the viewing platform to where he is able to get a first glimpse. There are too many trees and tree branches in the way, although he does make out the top of the Civil War Quarters and the salt cellar in the backyard. He is even able to see the trees past the Civil War Quarters in the distance but can’t make anything out.

Then he turns and looks back down at everyone who has given up on trying to watch the Ute, Shoshoni, and Navajo Indians from the viewing platform noting, “I can see the Civil War Quarters and the shed out back and I can see the trees just past the Civil War Quarters but I can’t make anything out without a pair of binoculars or a telescope.”

The fort commander makes a comment about the shed, which is actually the salt cellar, exclaiming about it, “That’s actually happens to be a salt cellar in the back of the Civil War Quarters!”

With the Ogden Mountain Man now leaving as he rides away on his horse making his way to Captain James S. Brown’s Fort, the fort commander waits as the Huntsville old foggy farmer decides to climb down considering that it’s hard to get a good view. In fact, even with binoculars or a telescope it’s still hard to see through the thicketed trees that separates Mound Fort and the Civil War Quarters.

The Huntsville old foggy farmer thinks about trying again after he gets his binoculars and maybe his telescope that has brought along bickering, “I’ll go get my binoculars out from my saddle bag and then try again!”

For the meantime the Ute, Shoshoni, and Navajo Indian Warriors have been waiting giving the fort commander a chance to return and read the note. We’re talking about the note that had been left and stuck to an arrow at the back door for some time now. It’s been a little while since then and the Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse is getting antsy especially with Chief Little Indian Soldier there with them all now.

The Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse looks towards the Civil War Quarters as the day gets close to being over with nightfall looming an hour or so ahead. He thinks about how the fort commander must realize that something is up considering Chief Little Indian Soldier has left his camp and joined up with them.

The Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse continues looking out for anyone returning to the Civil War Quarters stating, “So far no one has returned and it’s going to get dark soon!”

The head Shoshoni Indian Warrior thinks about those horses that had arrived earlier describing, “No, so far the only activity has been those four horses that had arrived earlier!”

The Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse figures that they had sent messengers out before who have started to return mentioning, “They sent messengers out before and they are returning with some men to build their infantry!”

With regard to the messengers, Chief Little Indian Soldier replies, “Looks like they are just some farmers to me!”

The Ute Indian Informant comes up with his ideas on what their infantry will consist of adding, “I’m sure they have lots of farmers readying up for us by now.”

The Ute Indian Tracker begins to become uneasy as to whether or not Eagle Feather Ute Indian will send others saying to everyone, “What are we going to do if Eagle Feather Ute Indian sends some more of his friends out here to check up on us all?”

The Ute Indian Scout doesn’t have any worries about Eagle Feather Ute Indian answering back for everybody, “Who cares if he sends anyone else?”

Right away, Lone Wolf Ute Indian tries to put doubts in everyone’s mind that Eagle Feather Ute Indian won’t send anyone else commenting, “He’s not going to find anyone else to come down here!”

The Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse figures that’s okay if Eagle Feather Ute Indian sends some more of his friends to check up on them saying, “I hope he does send some more of his friends so we can have more help!”

The Navajo Indian Skin Walker starts to wonder what the next move is while becoming a little anxious asking, “So what’s the next move?”

It seems that Demon is a little on the rambunctious side as well with his wanting to make his way over towards the Civil War Quarters without anyone else. For a minute there he seemed to step forward with his wandering around alone once again. Also many of the Shoshoni and Navajo Indian Renegades are watching nightfall take over completely as they all want to move in to take the Civil War Quarters advancing their line.

The Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse has made his mind up contemplating the situation over as he instructs his partners and friends, “It looks like the fort commander isn’t going to show tonight!”

One of the Shoshoni Indian Renegades speaks out loudly barking, “Maybe we scared the fort commander?”

The head Shoshoni Indian Warrior is anxious to move ahead with their plans gawking, “Let’s go get that note and take that Civil War Quarters!”

The Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse is anxious too, although he feels that they should give him a chance to return before they move ahead taking the Civil War Quarters completely. And it’s hard to say what will happen without catching him there in his Civil War Quarters anyways. Nevertheless the fort commander seems to be avoiding the Civil War Quarters because of all of the Ute, Shoshoni, and Navajo Indians there.

The Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse wants to at least give him a little while longer going in to detail, “Let’s give him another hour or so and then we’ll take over the Civil War Quarters completely.”

Then right away, Den Wolf Mother Ute Indian tries to buy the fort commander some time in Eagle Feather Ute Indian’s behalf saying, “Don’t you think you’re jumping the gun a little and should at least wait another night or two?”

Of course, the Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse is sort of jumping the gun a little bit too much, although it seems that the fort commander and his two officer roommates are all avoiding the Civil War Quarters. And they all know that the Ogden Mountain Man and Captain James S. Brown are with them who would both convince the fort commander to stay at Mound Fort.

With these thoughts in mind, the Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse goes on further clearing up the situation, “Yes, I’m jumping the gun a little too much, although the fort commander and his two officers are avoiding the Civil War Quarters because something is going on with the Ogden Mountain Man and that Captain James S. Brown who has his own fort.”

Then Chief Little Indian Soldier decides to mention seeing the Ogden Mountain Man leaves a few minutes ago on his horse saying, “And that was the Ogden Mountain Man leaving on horse somewhere!”

The Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse has an idea of where he’s headed and that’s to pick up more men and supplies at Captain James S. Brown’s Fort expressing, “Good I hope he is heading over to Captain James S. Brown’s Fort right now to gather as many men and supplies as he possibly can before another day or two passes!”

Meanwhile Demon has left the group of Ute, Shoshoni, and Navajo Indian Warriors along with the Ute Indian band in order to get a closer look at the Civil War Quarters with the fort commander’s absence. As he makes his way back over towards the crawl space access panel at the rear of the Civil War Quarters next to the salt cellar, he notices a gap that has been there for a time being.

Next Demon starts to dig his way underneath the access panel which happens to be a small wood gated swinging fence that only one person at a time can fit through. And this isn’t the first time he’s tried to dig and sneak his way underneath the access panel in order to get in to the crawl space beneath the flooring of the Civil War Quarters. There’s no ignoring Demon as the Ute Indian Scout looks to the Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse saying, “Looks like Demon is already taking the Civil War Quarters without us!”

The Ute Indian Informant takes a chance at a point of view of his own reckoning, “Good! He can have the Civil War Quarters for now!”

At that time, the Shoshoni Indian Scout and the Shoshoni Indian Renegades return from Weber County from pushing out Union Pacific Railroad engineer Chief Dodge who was surveying in order to push the Union Pacific Railroad towards Promontory, Utah.

Straight forth the Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse questions the Shoshoni Indian Scout about how things went asking, “So how did the trip go?”

Right away, the Shoshoni Indian Scout gives some positive details explaining, “Everything went as planned, although we ran in to some trouble with keeping up with them!”

Then the Ute Indian Scout becomes curious right away querying, “What kind of trouble?”

The Ute Indian Informant interrupts the conversation with, “Did you push the engineer out?”

Next the Shoshoni Indian Scout comes back explaining, “Yes, we pushed him out, yet it seemed like they were kind of expecting us for some reason!”

The Navajo Indian Warrior Chief interrogates the Shoshoni Indian Scout as to why the Navajo Indian Warriors had arrived before they returned questioning, “So what took so long then because we arrived before you all had returned?”

Still the Shoshoni Indian Scout thinks about the direction they had taken through the Wasatch Mountain Range to avoid any trailblazers or trackers that might have been sent out after them, “We had to take a different route through the Wasatch Mountains north of Weber Canyon until we reached a mile or so just before the mouth of the Ogden River Canyon.”

Finally the Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse becomes a little paranoid as to whether or not anyone had seen them on their journey back probing, “Did anyone see you along the way?”

The Shoshoni Indian Scout thinks about it for a moment or so considering that they had passed some people here and there along the way saying, “Yes, we passed a few people here and there along the way but we just ignored them and kept going until we decided to cut down from the Indian trail at the mouth of the Ogden River Canyon!”

The head Shoshoni Indian Warrior is relieved to hear that they had kept a distance from everyone on their return back to the Civil War Quarters replying, “Good, because we don’t want anyone following you!

By now, the Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse is more curious with his interest peaked hoping that none had followed them back in any circumstance recoiling, “Are you sure that nobody followed you back here?”

One of the Shoshoni Indian Renegades sticks up right away for the group answering back with, “I’m certain that nobody followed us as I rode last on the trail back!”

Then the Shoshoni Indian Scout goes a little further telling them all, “And we never looked back neither!”

The Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse decides to just plain forget about it once and for all shrieking, “Let’s just forget about it for now because we have better things to do right now!”

The Shoshoni Indian Scout gets off his horse ready to tie him off to a nearby tree asking, “So where’s the fort commander?”

The Navajo Indian Skin Walker comes out with a quickened answer being expository, “He hasn’t returned for the evening!”

The Shoshoni Indian Scout and the Shoshoni Indian Renegades all finish up tying off their horses and they soon return to the area where the main group is hanging out. Of course, this spot is the closest spot behind the line of trees where they can get a straight shot at almost any part of the house without any high maddened walls in the way. And that’s whether it be the front porch or the back porch where they can lay an arrow or bullet anywhere they want to at any time.

Right after hearing that line about the fort commander being absent, the Shoshoni Indian Scout shrills out, “Then where is he still at Mound Fort?”

The Navajo Indian Warrior Chief tries to explain for everyone by carrying on and expressing, “So far the fort commander nor his two officers haven’t returned!”

The Shoshoni Indian Scout wonders why the fort commander isn’t in his Civil War Quarters querying, “Why hasn’t the fort commander returned?”

The head Shoshoni Indian Warrior makes a comment relating to why he thinks the fort commander hasn’t returned saying, “I guess we chased him off!”

With more of an ego going to his head considering his progress in the last several days, the Shoshoni Indian Scout, “ Looks like he knows we’re serious and he’s staying away from his Civil War Quarters!”

Next one of the Shoshoni Indian Renegades, who has returned from Weber Canyon as well, says out loud, “Then let’s take the Civil War Quarters?”

After thinking about everything for a few moments, the Shoshoni Indian Scout comes back agreeing with the Shoshoni Indian Renegade asking, “Yes, why haven’t you taken the Civil War Quarters yet?”

The Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse mentions how he decided to give him another day equivocating, “Well, I decided to give the Civil War Quarters another day!”

The Shoshoni Indian Scout figures that they should go ahead and take rallying, “If he doesn’t return anytime tonight or by tomorrow morning then we should take the Civil War Quarters!”

The Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse agrees with the Shoshoni Indian Scout reassembling, “Alright, if he doesn’t return soon we’ll take the Civil War Quarters so we can take a look around inside!”

In the intervening time Eagle Feather Ute Indian is persuading Spring Leaf Ute Indian and Autumn Leaf Ute Indian to go check up on the Ute Indian band at the Civil War Quarters. He is persuading them because he has a bad feeling that things aren’t going right. For some reason he thinks he ought to send at least a few more younger Ute Indians down there to ease the situation a bit.

Now Eagle Feather Ute Indian looks to Autumn Leaf Ute Indian to convince her to take a trip down to the Civil War Quarters questioning, “Would you check up on everyone down at the Civil War Quarters to make sure everything is alright?”

Right away, Autumn Leaf Ute Indian agrees along with her sister Spring Leaf Ute Indian answering back diligently, “Sure, why not? We were kind of curious about that place even though we agreed to leave them in peace for a while!”

By then, Eagle Feather Ute Indian is happy about convincing the both of them carrying on, “The Ute Indian Warriors are down there with the Shoshoni Indian Warriors and I’m sure the Navajo Indian Warriors are there with them too and they are all ready to start some trouble again!”

Immediately Autumn Leaf Ute Indian decides to agree and take his offer just the way everyone else has up till now. And she’s taking it only so Spring Leaf Ute Indian and her can both go and have something to do such as checking up on the Ute Indian band. However she feels like bringing some other along with her such as Mean Wolf Ute Indian and his little brother Little Mean Wolf Ute Indian.

Before deciding to leave, Autumn Leaf Ute Indian turns to Eagle Feather Ute Indian saying to him, “Yes, Spring Leaf and I will go, but first we are going to invite Mean Wolf and his little brother Little Mean Wolf!”

Straight with Eagle Feather Ute Indian becomes anxious for them to get a move on saying seemingly agitated like, “Hurry up and go get them so that you can get out there before it gets too late!”

Hurriedly Autumn Leaf Ute Indian and Spring Leaf Ute Indian leave to go to Mean Wolf Ute Indian and Little Mean Wolf Ute Indian’s teepee before heading out to the Civil War Quarters. The take off and leave as fast as they can so that they can make use of their valuable time to reach their destination faster.

A little ways a way is Grey Wolf Ute Indian who is watching from a distance. She is watching as she decides to follow Autumn Leaf Ute Indian and Spring Leaf Ute Indian down to the Civil War Quarters along with the grey wolf she has chosen for Demon. However she decides to be very patient while they both go get their friends to accompany them along the way.

At this present moment, Grey Wolf Ute Indian feels is the right time to follow along with some nicer Ute Indians for a good first impression on her female grey wolf. Any other impression, such as one from the Ute, Shoshoni, or Navajo Indian Warriors, may result in bad training for Grey Wolf Ute Indian’s mate that she has picked out for Demon. In other words, she’s being real careful with her female grey wolf as though she was some family member.

Still back at the Mound Fort Artillery Base, night fall has come there as well as at the Ogden River Canyon. Yet the Mound Fort residents are a little bit nervous considering that the fort commander has decided to stay away from the Civil War Quarters. And some of the other men such as Captain James S. Brown are wondering if he has anything important in there that’s worth protecting.

Finally the fort commander starts to feel strange leaving the Civil War Quarters unattended with all of those Ute, Shoshoni, and Navajo Warriors saying, “I can’t stand leaving the Civil War Quarters alone with all of those Ute and Shoshoni Indians sitting and hiding out down there!”

Thereafter the Eden farmer thinks of a way to get down by the Civil War Quarters stating, “Why don’t you have a march down past the Civil War Quarters every day?”

The fort commander thinks the idea over for a moment or so before countering, “With all of those Ute and Shoshoni Indians down there?”

Next Captain James S. Brown thinks about what he has that’s so important and worth protecting asking, “What do you have in the Civil War Quarters that’s worth protecting?”

The fort commander gathers his thoughts together before answering back with, “Nothing really, except some of my uniforms and some of our clothes and personal items. All of Mound Fort’s paperwork as well as the Civil War Quarters are all kept in Mound Fort!”

With somewhat of a positive attitude about the situation, Captain James S. Brown replies, “That’s good, at least you don’t have to worry about them breaking inside and finding anything that they can take as far as land documents are concerned!”

Then the fort commander has a different rationalization about that contending, “No, but Mound Fort’s pride is in the hands of the Civil War Quarters if they take control of it!”

Following the fort commander’s point of view, Peter is almost certain that the Ute and Shoshoni Indians won’t do anything, even though there are Navajo Indian Warriors present there with them as he annotates, “I doubt the Ute and Shoshoni Indians will do anything except just run some raids as usual!”

It appears that Nicolaus is becoming on edge a little bit now that all three of them don’t have the Civil War Quarters for even another night contending, “We have to do something before those Indians help find their way inside!”

The fort commander feels that it’s best if they wait for the messenger and the Ogden Mountain Man to return with more men and supplies before going further with making anymore assumptions in the matter. It seems that everyone is flabbergasted with the Ute and Shoshoni Indians advancing their line towards the Civil War Quarters.

Without waiting any longer which will cause everyone to become a little bit on the antsy side, the fort commander rejects those thoughts boasting to the group, “We will wait for reinforcements to come before we make any further judgements with those Indians!”

Nevertheless Captain James S. Brown has the attitude of waiting and relying on the Ogden Mountain Man as well as the messenger to return with some reinforcements such as men and supplies carrying on with, “Don’t worry; the Ogden Mountain Man and the messenger will return with some men and supplies!”

Finally the night watchman looks around about the high maddened walls wondering just how safe they will be asking out loud, “I don’t know, but it seems sort of quiet like the walls might come caving in!”

Right at this time, the railroad construction manager Gus notices that the Ute, Shoshoni, and Navajo Indian Warriors are moving towards the Civil War Quarters bickering, “Looks like the Ute, Shoshoni, and Navajo Indians are about to take the Civil War Quarters!”

For the time being, Demon has made his way past the crawl space access panel door at the rear of the Civil War Quarters. While the Ute, Shoshoni, and Navajo Indians have been preoccupied with wondering about when and if the fort commander will return for another evening, the Ute Indian Scout realizes that Demon has been gone for a little bit.

Without waiting any longer, the Ute Indian Scout follows-up, “Where’s Demon; it looks like he has made his way inside underneath the floor of the Civil War Quarters!”

Immediately the Ute Indian Warrior Mean Horse looks noticing even though the thought of Demon had slipped his mind for a few minutes or so. Yet he still looks around about the crowd just in case Demon is still nearby meandering around besides anyone perhaps. Then he looks back to the Civil War Quarters comprehending a move ahead to take the Civil War Quarters anyhow.

Meanwhile as Demon is taking his pride along with him, a messenger approaches the Union Pacific Railroad operatives with a message from the head office about the attack on the Union Pacific Railroad in Weber Canyon. As the messenger approaches, the Union Pacific Railroad operatives try to quiet his approach down only to slip them the news as they continue on with their investigations of the Civil War Quarters.

Once the message is opened and the darkness makes it hard to read, the railroad construction manager Gus walks a few yards away with him asking, “So what’s this news about?”

The messenger turns while trying to keep his voice down replying, “There was an attack on the Union Pacific Railroad in Weber Canyon and the Union Pacific Railroad engineer Chief Dodge barely escaped!
