T g n A RELYC OF THE WAR: The Sanitary Flour Sack Kept by u;idlsy‘s Family, Story of the Hero's Efforts to Ald the Union's Suffering Soldiers. %an Francisco Chronicle. Few occurrences our civil war attracted more notice, or created more enthusiasm through- out the country, than the tour of R. O, Gridley and his sack of flour, which se amply assisted the noble work of the Sanitary Commis- sion, in caring for the health and comfort of our soldiers, re:toring the sick warriors to health, and nerving the arm of the well with the encour- aging thought that he was not un- thought of, nor likely to go uncared for in case of misfortune, During the war Revel C. Gridley was a_merchant of the firm of Gridley, Hobart & Jacobs, doing business in Austin, in the then territory of Novada. Grid- ley was a Democrat, notone of the class known as Copperhoads, but a Democrat whose heart pulsed for the Union constant in all of that dark trial and terrible struggle. THE WAGER. A local election was pending in Austin in April, 1864, Some banter betwe'n him and Dr. Herrick, an office-holder of the county, resulted in a_ wager on the outcomc of the elec- tion. The conditions were that the Doctor, if the election went against his party, should carry a twenty-pound sack of flour on his shoulder through Main street, from the First ward, Clifton, to the Fourth ward, Upper Austin, a distance of about one mile and a quarter, marching to the tune of “Dixie,” and that Gridley, in the event of his losing, should carry the sack of flour through the same atreet from Upper Austin to Clifton, having the aavantage of the down-hill grade, marching to the- air of ‘‘Old John Brown.” Those were the days before Nevada became a rotten: borough, whose vale belonged in fee simple to the richest citizen. Nevada, was ‘stanch in her loyalty, the election went against Gridley's party, and on April 20th he paid his debt. The whole population of Austin assembled about his store to witness the novel affair. The utmost good-feeling pre- vailed on all sides. Gridley took his discomfiture with-out chagrin, and with cheerful good-humor set about redeeming his word. A TRIUMPHAT. MAECH. The sack of flour, trimmed with rib- bons and flags, was shouldered by him, and with the stais and stripes in his hands he took his place in the line prepared for the novel march, amid the cheers and laughter of the con- course. ‘A procession was formed, and moved in the following order: At the head of the column a cavalcade of thirty-six men on horseback, with the city officials elect. ~ Then came the band playing “‘Old John Brown” with all the.fervor that the singular occa- sion could inspire. Next came the winner of the wager, Dr. Herrick, carrying Mr. Gridley’s cane and hat. Gridley came next with the sack of flour on his shoulder, and his son Amos, a lad of 13, by his side, carry- inga flag. Then the Democratic County Committee, two of them with flags; one with a pole, on which was a sponge, and another carrying aloft a new broom, symbolic of the clean sweep that they had undergone. The procession started, the crowd cheered 1n concert, every steam whistle with- in hearing screamed, and over all the hills echoed back tho strains of ‘‘John Brown’s” march. Gridley stood man- fully to his task, by his bearing dis- arming defeat of half its humiliation. “Go it, Gridley!” “‘Stick to it, Gridley!” ‘“Never say die, Gridley!” shouted the crowd, cheering encour- agingly. Never was there a day of livelier mirth in Austin town. Reach- ing Clifton, the losers set about the ceremony of formally confessing their defeat. The flour was delivered by its bearer to the Doctor, the flag sur- rendered, and the symbolic besom placed in the hands of the successful party. of AN I A bright, good thought struck the hero of the occasion. Why not turn the hilarity of the day to public ad- vantage by doing something with the sack to aid the Sanitary Commission. The suggestion was eagerly caught up by the jolly crowd. It was suggested by some that the sack of flour be baked into cakes and be distributed as mementoes of the occasion. Grid- ley held to his patriotic purpose. “No,” said he, this mass of people have had their funat my expense, I now propose that they do something for our sick and wounded soldiers. We will put this sack of flour up at auction and sell it with the unde standing that whoever the purchaser may be he shall pay the money bid and then give back the flour, to be sold again for the benefit of the Sani- tary Commission fand,” The propo- sition was received with geeat favor. A stand was erected and Grdley mounted it as auctioneer. Bidding was spirited and in a few moments the sack was knocked down for $300, Gridleyswas the purchaser, He pard his mcney and immediately put up the sack forsale again. It was sold oyer and over, until a large sum had been realized. The procession then returned, overcharged with enthusi- asm, to Upper Austin, Gridley mount- ed upon a spirited horse and now doubfy the hero of the occasion, hav- ing changed humiliation to a noble triumph, The day's eport ended there, but the history of that famous sack of flour had just begun, PIRATION, SPREADING ENTHUSIASM. The fame of the incident soon h}»reud to neighboring mining camps, the spirit of the enterprise taking hold “of them all, the enthusiasm growing as it spread, Gridley, fired with his patriotic impulse, took the hint and set out on foot with his sack to raise monoy for the suffering sol- diers of the nation. The people eve- rywhere turned out en massg to greet him and help on his noble enterprise. They formed great processions in ev- ery town, with the man and the sack at their head. At Virginia City $8000 was realized from the sale of the lit- tle bag of flour, at Sacramento, $10,- 000, and in this city $25,000. No Palidin returning victor from high martial emprise was ever accorded such a reception as awaited the Man with the Sack on his noble and pa- triotic mission. His recoption here was the most memorable ovation ever tendered a private citizen. The town wont wild with enthusiasm. Mont- gomery street was thronged, and the welkin rang with cheers, as Gridley marched along with the sack of flour on his shoulder and the national ban- ner borne in his hand. The Metro- politan Theater on Montgomery strect wherein the sack was put to auction, was thronged, thousands being unable to force their way in who desired to be present, The newapapers spread far and wide the fame of Gridley and his sack, and paved his way tosuc- cess sverywhere. From hers he went East with his sack. Thesame gen- eral recognition of his noble enter- prise attended him everywhere, and before his famous sack returned from its patriotic tour it had put over £200,000 into the fund of the Sanita- ry Commission. THE HERO'S FAMILY SUFFERING, The measure of that noble bene- faction only the Omniscient can es- timate. Poor Gridley has long since gone to the adjustment of the ac- count. Every time the sack was sold it was returned to him and he finally brought it back to his own home, where it is retained in the family as a precious heirloom. In time business reverses overtook Gridley and he diell some years ago without having been able to regain his financial foot- ing, His family now live at Modes- to in circumstances not merely of poverty, but actual destitution — waut. ©f the property once theirs the wid- ow only has left the little residence in Modests, and the members of the family are all sadly disqualified for the battle of life, A HORNLESS BULL. The Dethroned Chief of the Sioux and His Captinity. A Native Monarch Shorn of His Plumes. Correspondence N Y. Herald. For some days pat I have been learning facts about the Indian ques- tion at Standing Rock, The ofticers here speak in |iupuful terms of the effect which the late manceuvre of the government has produced, and assure me that the removal of Sitting Bull from the Standing Rock reservation was'a wise lteglou the part of the war department. @ has been the organ- izer ot nearly all the recent out- breaks of the Sioux. Trained as a diplomat and warrior by his father, Four Horns, the old chief of the Sioux, the leader of the hoatiles is to the Indian an ideal of valor and wis- dom. From childhood he has been looked upon as the coming head of the Sioux nation, and this hereditary prestige, added to his marvelous natural *abilities, has raised Sitting Bull to a position among the Sioux which no other war- rior has ever dared as- sume, warpath the other great chiefs at Standing Rock were loud in their de- nunciations. They openly called him a fool and a coward; and laughed at the idea of following . him into the wilderness, Alltheir jealousies, har- bored for months, were freely vented, and the mere mention of the warrior chief’s name was a signal for jeers. But when Sitting Bull came back his wonderful power was shown. Al- though the great Uncapapa returned broken down with hunger and suffer- ing, stripped of his paint and a pris- oner, he walked through the Sioux camp like the natural monarch that he is and his worst enemies were eager to do him homage. There was not, among the 7,000 savages who live on this reservation, a single warrior who did not tremble when the eagle eyes of the hostile chief were turned upon him, and when the sound of his foot- steps was heard among the lodges at night the chiefs who had accused him of cowardice skulked away in fear. He isthe idol of the equaws and the god of the children.” He is thoroughly Lonest and poss ss:s & kind heart. Sitting Buli despises the Indians who idle their time away on to the reservations and live on rations | ¥ issued by the government. To him the Sioux who accepts proyisions is a beggar not fit to associate with honor- able men who live by their own exer- tions. These 1deas have been moder- ated, however, by his recent hard- ships, and the probabilities are that Sitting Bull will soon be an exponent of civilized methods. -Experience has shattered many of the images which he had built up in his barbaric imag- ination. Fierce and cruel as he has proved himselt to be when bent on war, Sitting Bull has many noble traits, When he surrendered his proudest boast was that he had never caton a pound of meat that did not belong to him and that hefwas, conse- quently, under no obligations to the government. He told the officers of this post that his whole aim now was to be the leader of the Sioux nation in peace as he was in war, Herein lay the danger of allowing him to remain here. A GEEAT POLITICIAN, Sitting Bullis the greatest politician in the territory and has a keen appre- ciation of the power which could be created by a gradual concentration of the different tribes, For months be- fore he left the reservation to go on the war path he had been gradually undermining the influence of the other Bioux chiefs and absorbing their fighting men into his own band, There is a rude chivalry about the man and such a strong personal mag- netism that the young Uncapapas sur- rounded him ready to follow under his ]endunh‘iip to a certain death if he commanded it. This taste of absolute power has made Sitting Bull so ambi- tious that an outbreak might occur at any moment. He is too proud to live upon the alms which are distributed at the agencies for any length of time if he had enough warriors about him to break away. There are only three hundred soldiers stationed at this fort, and they could do no more to prevent a hostile uprising than so many children. Wath Sitting Bull to explain to the young bucks how strong they were ‘when organized the garrison were in constant danger ot massacre, I cannot too strongly emphasize the fact that there is not enough soldiery here to control the Iudians. When I saw the wholo force When he was absent on the on dress parade this morningand then turned my eyes to the tents of the 3,000 Indians who wero encamped three miles away in full sight, the ut- ter helplessness of the command was impressed upon me strongly, Many of the Indians possess, and those who have firearms aro splendid marksmen, A thousand braves could assemble any night, steal up to the fort, and in twenty minutes nota man would be left to tell how the at- tack was made. I have been request- ed by the army officers here and elso- where to call public attention to this matter. With Sitting Bull away thero are fow men left who have brains enough to organize the warriors in sufficient numbersa to be dangerous. THE OLD WARRIOR'S DISAPPOINTMENT. The accounts which were tele- graphed to newspapers all over the country at the time of Sitting Bull's removal from this post were ex- tremely sensational, and many state- ments were made which had no foun- dationin fact. The whole situation has been misrepresented. Sitting Bull is loved by the rank and file of the Indiansfor his personal bravery and generous disposition toward even the meanest of his followers. But all the chiefs aro jealous of him, and oven Gaul and Rain-in-the-Face, who were , formerly his two_ lieuteuants, were glad to seo him taken to Fort Randall a prisoner. There was no excuse for the announcement that the Sioux were ready to com. mence another war in consequence of Sitting Bull's forced departure. Those who were not pleased over the event were simply sorry. There was little excitement and no hostile demonstra- tion made, Many pitied the unfortu- nate chief, who was taken away quite broken hearted from Standing Rock. He intended to settle down on a piece of land which he had chosen about ninety miles from the fort, and there devote himself to the peaceful politics of his people. After all his battles and victories tho chief expected that he could have no dif- ficulty in obtaining in fact as well as in name the supreme chieftainship of the Sioux nation, including the tribes at the Cheyenne, Spotted Tail and Red Cloud agencie Mirabile Dictu. “Your Spring blossom is success.
