The corps of rangers thej were officially designated but hlsjpry knows them best as Morgan's rlfl#» men. On June 14, 1775, the Second Continental congress passed a resold' W tlon that "six companies of expert -f"' riflemen be Immediately raised la Pennsylvania, two In Maryland and two In Virginia; that each company shall march to Join the army near Boston to be there employed as light Infantry under the command of the chief officer of that army." There was good reason for congress calling upon these colonies for "expert riflemen," for their cltlzens had been among the first to push across the Appalachians and it was a Pennsylvania gunsmith, one Dechert or Declierd (Deckard or Deckhard he Is also called) and his apprentice. Mill* who put into the hands of these frontiersmen the weapon which made them Ttomous the long rifle. So while the New Englanders were still clinging to the clumsy old Queen Anne musket or the Brown Bess, the men of the southern ctflonles were scorning to shoot a squirrel anywhere except through, the head. And what they con Id do to a squirrel was not so difficult to do to any redskin who would block the course of empire westward. One of the first to respond to the call of congress was Daniel Morgan of Frederick county, Virginia. He had been a wagoner In Braddock*s army and he still bore on his back the marks of a British lash because he had knocked down a lieutenant who had struck him with the flat of Ms sword. Small w onder that Morgan was anxious to repay these "doings of old King George, as he called those scars! Within ten days after receiving his commission Morgan had raised a company and early in July. 1775, he started from Winchester. His marching orders were simple--"A bee-line for Boston, boys 1 Within twenty-one days he covered the distance of 000 miles without losing a man through sickness or desertion and offered to his excellency, George Washington, the Services of 96 expert rlflemsa "from the tight bank of the Potomac, sir I" By the end of August all of the rifle companies, 1,400 men In all. had arrived In the camp at Cas* bridge. Pennsylvania -had sent nine companies Instead of six and these nine companies were formed as one battalion under the command #f C6l. William Thompson of Carlisle with Edwafd Hand as lieutenant colonel. Their captains were the following: James Chambers, Robert Cluggage* Michael Doudel, William Hendricks. Abraham Miller, George Nagel. James Ross, Matthew Smith and John Lowdon. _ In Lowdon's company were two men destined for later renown. One was a 19-year-old, red-headed Irish lad who became Capt. Sam Brady, chief of* rangers on the Pennsylvania and Ohio border, hero of "Brady's Leap" and a dozen other hairbreadth escapades. The other was five years older than Brady. He was somewhat under the average height, J>ut well-built and muscular, lean of flank and swift of foot, a typical black-haired, dark-eyed Celt, and no history of the New Yorfc frontier during the later days of the Revolution would be complete without mention of Tla Murphy, the "Scout of the Schoharie." In one of the Maryland companies, led by Capt. Gabriel Long, was a frontiersman named David Elerson. or Ellison, who had already proved himself a daring fighter and a dead shot in tlitf wars on the Virginia frontier. But he won even greater fame, both In fact and In fiction, as the boon companion of Tim Murphy. The other Maryland company was commanded by a. man of tragic history. Capt. Michael Cresap. a name familiar to every school boy who has ever recited that which ends, "Who Is tliere to mourn for LoganX Not one!" History has long since absolved Cresap from the guilt of the murder of Logan's family, but so long as this famous bit of Indian oratory Is preserved, the chiefs mistaken accusation will cast a shadow upon the fame of a gallant rifleman who died before he had a chance to distinguish himself in the war for independence. Such were the outstanding figures in this groap of stalwarts whom Washington welcomed Into Ug army. For It was such stark hunters and bush fighters as these that he had led ten years beforw In the fateful Braddock • expedition and It was through their cool daring and stubborn fighting qualities that he had been able to save a remnant of the British army from slaughter. Take a look at Murphy, Elerson and their mates as they swagger along the streets of Cambridge had a pain in my right Bide and it was so baa I was getting round shoulders. I would feel well one day and then feel so bad for three or four days that I would be in bed. One Sunday my mother came to see how I was, and she said a friend told her to tell me to try Lydia E.

They are dressed In flannel - shirts, cloth or buckskin breeches, buckskin leggings and moccasins. Over these they wear fringed hunting shirts, made for the most part of brown linen, some of buckskin and a few of llnsey woolsey, held In at the waist with a belt In which are carried the tomahawk and the long knife. There, too, hang the powder horn, scraped until It Is almost as transparent as glass, and the bullet pouch containing the small lead balls, 40 to 00 to the pound. On their h«ads rest small round hats or coon skin caps. On these, or spread across the breasts of their hunting shirts, appears the legend which Patrick Henry's stirring speech has - given them--"Liberty or Death !" Across their arms are thrown with careless ease the weapon which gives them their name, the long rifles which soon made them the marvel of the Continental army and the terror of the British. Despite all the bosh that has been written about the deadly aim of these old-time sharpshooters-- such as hitting the head Of a nail at 100 yards, shooting out a squirrel's eye or placing one bullet on top of another in a target at the same distance It is true that the accuracy of these old flintlock rifles in the hands of such men as Tim Murphy and his kind was marvelous. Many a British sol- ^dier learned to his sorrow that It was not safe tQ show his head within 200 yards of these "d--d widow and orphan makers," as they called the riflemen, and the statement of a contemporary historian that "while advancing at a quickstep the riflemen could hit a mark seven Inches In diameter at a distance of 250 yards" does not seem so -Impossible of belief. At any rate, such wonderful stories of their feats were carried across the Atlantic that one rifleman, who was taken prisoner during the siege of Boston, was carried to England and exhibited there as a great curiosity. Unruly and undisciplined as the riflemen were, nevertheless they gave a good account of themselves In Innumerable ways during the siege of Boston until the British evacuated that* city In March. 1776. In the meantime, three companies --Morgan's Virginians and Smith's and Hendricks' Pennsylvanlans--accompanied Arnold and Montgomery on their Ill-fated expedition to Quebec. Hendricks was killed In the sssault and Morgan and nearly all of the riflemen were captured. On January 1. 1776, the new army organization began and the battalion of Pennsylvania riflemen became the first regiment of the Continental army. Under the command of Colonel Hand this regiment distinguished Itself particularly in the Battle of Long Island and during the subsequent fighting in New Jersey until "a Hand Rifleman" became almost a title of distinction as did "a Morgan Rifleman" later. In June, 1777, Washington, convinced by his experiences bofh In the Frenc^and Indian war and in the recent campaign that a corps of sharpshooters composed of frontiersmen trained In woods fightIne might easily be the deciding factor In the war. decided to organize such a corps. The material was at hand in the rifle companies which hau Joined him at Cambridge and which were now parts of various regiments in the Continental line. By this tUne Daniel Morgan, through an exchange of p r i s o n e r s , had returned to the army and he whs placed in command of the new "Corps of Rangers" with Richard Butler of the Ninth Pennsylvania as lieutenant colonel and Capt. Joseph Morris of New Jersey as major. The captains of the companies were Samuel J. Cabell. Gabriel Long, James Parr, Hawkins Boone (a relative of Daniel Boone). Matthew Henderson, Fan Swearfngen. Captain Knox and Thomas Posey, who later distinguished him self as a brigadier general under Wayne In the Indian war of 1703. Washington's opinion of the value of such a corps was soon Justified In the way In which rhey harassed the British army under General Howe as he retreated toward New York, and the riflemen H.vrf .O ™ THE BEST RECOMMENDATION -- FOR -- Bare-to-Hair Is the number who are trying to imitate it.

Then the threat of Burgoyne In the North became so ominous that Washington decided to send the riflemen to the aid of General Gates. He believed that the presence of these daring bush fighters, who knew how to fight the savages In their own way, would put a stop to the outrages of Burgoyne's Indian and Canadian allies and restore confidence to the distracted Inhabitants of the Invaded region. Again his belief was Justified fbr Morgan began harassing Burgoyne as he had done to Howe. "The terror inspired by his name among these allies led to a general desertion and. In having Morgan's men, Gates now enjoyed all the advantages which the British general had derived St the opening of the campaign from the legion of Canadians and Indians," writes one historian. More than that, the riflemen proved their worth In pitched battle, as well as in desultory sniping attacks on the British camp, the only difficulty being that they were. If anything, too full of fight On the bloody field of Freeman's farm their asssult was so Impetuous that they soon became widely scattered as they engaged In their characteristic style of Individual combat, and It was only with the greatest difficulty that Morgan assembled his men again by use of his turkey-bone whistle and led them again Into battle as a unit. Then followed the Battle of Stillwater In which Tim Murphy had such a spectacular part. On October 7 Burgoyne made a desperate attempt to cut through the cordon of American troops. General Frazer, with 500 picked troops, led the advance and was soon hotly engaged with Morgan's men. Seeing the skill with which Frazer was handling h!s men. Morgan called to him 12 of his best marksmen. "That gallant officer yonder Is Geneaal Frazer," he said. "I admire and respect him, but It Is necessary that he die." The sharpshooters opened fire but Frazer was untouched. Then Tiro Murphy's rifle spoke and Frazer fell mortally wounded. Frazer had been Burgoyne's most valuable subordinate and his death proved to be the turning point In the Saratoga campaign. Burgoyne's surrender, the decisive event In the Revolution, followed soon afterwards. It was Murphy, too, who was among the first to reach the side of Benedict Arnold when that Impetuous officer led the attack on the Hessian redoubts at Saratoga where he was wounded and nearly captured. After the Saratoga campaign the riflemeo re- Joined Washington at Whltemarsh. Late In November they were ordered to the command of the Marquis de Lafayette and In one of his engagements with Cornwallls won this praise from the great Frenchman: "I never saw men so merry, so spirited, so desirous to go on to the enemy whatever force they might have, as this corps." A few days later they again distinguished^themselves st the battle of Chestnut Hill by defeating the British with heavy loss. Major Morris was killed In this battle and Captain Posey succeeded him. Then the riflemen settled down with Washing, ton for the terrible winter at Valley Forge, al though there was little rest for them. They were constantly engaged In scouting expeditions and harrying the British foraging parties. At about this time Morgan returned to his home In Virginia to recuperate his health and the command devolved upc4r Major Posey. He returned the following spring, however, and led the riflemen to further honors in the Battle of Monmouth. Soon after this battle Morgan gave up the command of his corps which was broken up, the various companies tjging assigned to different regiments. •', But the riflemen, as Individuals and small ualt% iron even greater distinction in the fighting with the Tories and Indians In the Mohawk valley and In General Sullivan's expedition which broke the power of the Iroquois confederacy. Chief among these were Tim Murphy and Dave Elerson. especially Murphy, and such were his many deeds as the "Scout of the Schoharie," taken with his feats at Saratoga, that Tim Murphy has come to be regarded as the typical Morgan rifleman. He settled In New York after the Revolution and Is burled In the cemetery at MJddleburgfc. where a mono-" ment was erected several years ago to bear witness to his fame and the fame of Morgan's rtfl» men, of which he was so representative. His Little "Pickup" Valued at $50,000 By far the most profitable walk he ever took was that taken a few days ago by a school professor in a small near-by village, writes a Brazilian correspondent of the Chicago Daily News. While strolling along the bank of a small stream he caught sight of something flashing In the sun. He thought at? first that it ^'as a piece of glwss reflecting the sun's rays but decided to examine It because of Its brilliancy. He was surprised and highly delighted to find that It was a diamond which has since been valued at more than $50,000. It is thought to be larger than the famous Estrella do Sul diamond, one of the largest and most valuable ever f mnd In Brazil. The diamond fields of Minas Gereas, of wh|ph this city is the capital, are among the largest and most -valuable in the world.

The moose Is afraid of little excepting man. Man only, biologists say. can exterminate or seriously injure tbe\ moose. Out in Wyoming, wbero the elk are starving every winter, the moose grows fat. He can feed in deep snows and on sparse vegetation where most other animals would starve, a sportsman writes In the Kansas City Star. He knows how to take care of himself. Ihe moose has a peculiar hind leg. He can lift his rear hoofs almost as high as his back when they are thrust forward and up. His hips are almost double Jointed, It seems, and those rea legs worklike locomotive pistons. Skis peculiarity tnsbkj moose to walk In drifted snow or In mud so deep that it would at once mire almost any other animal. He can run In snow which would make walking difficult for most other animals, even though they Qiight be as large as he is. In the forests he steps Over windfalls which deer must leap over. When he runs In the woods he does not gallop or Jump, but travels In a long, swinging trot, simply stepping over anything that comes In the way. The moose Is a browsing animal and can live In the winter on the tender bark of trees, twigs, dried wtllowa and other food which such ajiimals ss the elk starve on. The moose can only be destroyed by man. He has the rest of his enemies well in hand. Be lA»too important an animal, one too symbolic of great forests and past wildernesses, to be killed.
