Peter of Colfax pled and threatened, commanded and coaxed, but all in vain. Him and his horse both went home pretty leaky and crip- pled, but the Grangerfords had to be FETCHED home -- and one of 'em was dead, and another died the next day. Then the colonel of the Mavericks, reading his newspaper diligently, and scenting Frontier trouble from afar, posted to the army headquarters and pled with the Commander-in-chief for certain privileges, to be granted under certain contingencies,; which contingencies came about only a week later, when the annual little war on the border developed itself and the colonel returned to carry the good news to the Mavericks. |
