CHAPTER XXII
It was a special train consisting
of two day coaches and three box
cars.
They were a rough-looking lot,
these Texans. Some were bearded,
and a good many of the others wore
long, drooping mustaches. Seasoned
man-hunters, they were cool, tough
specimens who had ridden hard
and far into the brush after the men
on the dodge wanted by the law.
At Jim Creek the engineer ran the
train onto a siding. Sunday Brown
passed through the cars, waking up
his men and shouting “All out . . .
AU out.” Sleepily the Texans came
to life. They gathered up their bag
gage and their weapons, then filed
down the aisle and dropped from
the steps of the coach. Eight or ten
men in chaps awaited them there.
They were cattlemen and foremen
of various outfits. Others would join
them as the invaders moved deeper
into the territory they meant to
comb.
Sunday Brown was a big broad
shouldered man moving on toward
fifty. He stood six foot in his shoes
and weighed two hundred pounds of
solid bone, gristle, and muscle. His
weather-beaten face was hard and
yet wary, as if years in the brush
had dried out sympathy and sharp
ened suspicion.
Clint Ellison and John McFaddin
led the cavalcade. They were famil
iar with the terrain, which was part
of the country covered by their
spring and fall roundups. The party
foUowed a winding, narrow road
through the sage to a ford on the
North Fork. Through this the rid
ers splashed to the bank beyond.
The sun was beginning to show
over the horizon edge, and far away
its rays slanted on the blades of a
windmill lower down in the valley.
Startled antelope, moving down to
water, bounded away as if on ball
bearing feet. A coyote crept its
furtive way through the brush. Oh
the side of a hill the riders caught
a glimpse of startled cattle branded
with the Reverse B brand.
Reminded of Calhoun Terry by the
brand, Clint Ellison made bitter
comment to his companion. “We’re
risking our lives for that turncoat as
much as for our own stuff. He sits
tight and says he won’t have any
part in this, but his outfit shares the
profits with us.”
“Cal is a queer combination,” Mc-
Faddin said. “Hard as nails, but
with a soft streak runnin’ through
him.”
Ellison’s gray face was set obsti
nately. “The trouble with him is
that he has too many friends among
the rustlers. He used to be one of
that crowd.”
“No, sir,” denied McFaddin
promptly. “He came of good, clean
stock. His father, Barton Terry, was
a fine citizen. Cal is all right, for
that matter. Plenty of the small
cattlemen are square shooters,
Clint. They don’t like rustlers any
more than we do. I’m disappointed
in Cal. But that’s the way he is
made.” He added after a moment: I
“By the way, who is the bird who
bumped off Buck Hart and his
friends? Seeing it’s all over now,
you might as well tell me. I’ve got
a guess, and I’m wonderin’ if I’m
right.”
The No, By Joe manager took his
time to answer. “You paid your
share, John, and I reckon you have
a right to know,” he said at last.
“The fellow’s name is Jack Turley.
Do you know him?”
“I’ve met him. That’s all. I don’t
want to know him any better. Fact
is, Clint, we have to employ scala
wags like him sometimes, but we
don’t have to like them any more
than we would a sidewinder.”

expecting Turn to meet us
somewhere in Box Canyon before
we get to Johnson’s Prong. Turley
has been thick with the rustlers for
some time. He knows where they
roost and he is to guide us to them.”
They passed the spot where Tet
low has been ambushed and rode up
the draw leading to Box Canyon.
Here the wagon road swung sharply
to the right and followed the edge of
the hills to find away to the up
lands. Ellison halted his little army
to give instructions.
“We separate here,” he said. “The
wagons can’t go up the canyon, of
course. They’ll follow the road past
Renaud’s homestead. If anybody
makes inquiries, you are hauling
supplies to the Becker coal mines.
Don’t get excited. The tarps cover
the wagons and nobody will suspect
anything unusual. We’ll meet to
night at Packer’s Fork. The rest
of us have some clean-up jobs to
do today. We’re going up the gulch,
and when we reach the prong are
cutting across the hills. If anybody
sees us they have to be stopped, no
matter whether they are honest set
tlers or thieves. In case they try to
run, shoot down their horses. Be
careful not to hit them. We could
easily make a serious mistake by
getting the wrong men. We are
hunting certain individuals known to
us. It has to be made evident by
us that decent citizens have nothing
to fear. Is that clear?”
There was a murmur of assent.
He led the way through the aspen
grove and up the steep, crooked
trail beyond. It brought them to
a long spur, at the upper end of the
gorge, which ran out from John
son’s Prong.
Here Gaines, Collins, and several
other stockmen joined the party.
The leaders consulted together.
They decided it would be better to
wait for Turley. Without him as a
guide it would be difficult to find the
hide-outs of the outlaws. If he did
not arrive in half an hour they could
start anyhow. They knew the gen
eral region they had to comb.

Georgia’s Greatest Power Plant
loins The Army of Production
ADDING 100,000 horsepower of elec
trical energy, producing 1,500,000
kilowatt hours a day, Plant Atkinson’s
new second unit has gone into service,
taking its place in the ranks of the na
tion’s Army of Production.
Plant Atkinson, now doubled in size,
now having a capacity of 200,000 horse
power, with ability to produce a total of
3,000,000 kilowatt hours daily, is Geor
gia’s largest electric generating plant—-
almost twice as large as the Tallulah
Falls hydroelectric plant. With steam as
its motive power, Atkinson operates
without .regard to weather; its doubled
capacity is new protection against power
shortage during droughts.
The greater Plant Atkinson is part of
our answer to the nation’s urgent de
mand for power, and more power, to
meet the needs of national defense, as
well as Georgia’s peacetime needs. And
other important steps are being taken to
give Georgia an increased power supply.
In June, an entirely new generating
plant, also operated by steam, was com
pleted and put into service near Macon.
Plant Arkwright is its name, and its 60,-
000 horsepower generator can turn out

plant also is being doubled in size, the
second unit being scheduled for comple

In these and many other ways, we
have put our shoulder to the wheel, to
create more power for defense produc
tion and for the service of Georgia

• Plant Atkinson’s boilers are as tall as a 10-story
office building. Temperature in its furnaces is hotter
than 2,500 degrees.
• At full load, Plant Atkinson consumes 45 mil
lion cubic feet of natural gas a day —as much as
the whole city of Atlanta uses on a cold winter day.
• When both units are operating with coal, they
use 1,500 tons a day.
• The two turbine-generator units are as big as
boxcars, yet as finely adjusted as a watch. The ro
tating part of each unit weighs 90 tons, receiving
1,800 times a minute. The outer edge of the largest
turbine wheel travels 770 miles per hour!
