Chisholm Drive of 1873

Huskerdust cattle drive AU.

TW: Period-Typical Homophobia.

___________________

Husk leaned against an old, definitely unstable, wooden fence in desperate need of fixing. It was sunrise on the morning of March 3, 1873 and he could almost feel a bad omen for the herd of cattle he was about to take along the Chisholm trail. The sun looked favorable, or as favorable as it could be in Texas, upon the horizon while it slowly casted the earth with its warmth. Although to Husk, the sun seems to cast the world with doubt, dread and displeasure. The Leon River looked dazzling in the morning light, as the herd of longhorns he was transporting drank up their last bit of water before the twenty mile day ahead. The trail, of course, had plenty of water sources but it could be an entire day before they happened across another one.

Today, Husk and his group of fellow contracted cowmen were to start the over 500 mile journey to Abilene, Kansas in order to deliver 1521 market-ready longhorns to be sold into the, currently booming, meat market. As the trail boss, Husk was currently waiting for his other cowmen to say their final goodbyes to their normal life before heading out on their multiple week or even month journey. His cook, in particular, was taking a very long time while saying farewell to his sister Molly.

His name was Anthony, or Angel, as he had heard Molly call him just a minute ago. Husk wasn’t exactly eavesdropping but the pair of them were talking so goddamn loud that he could hear them from across the plain he was standing atop.

“I know, but I’ll have Fat Nuggets!” Anthony distantly said- no more screamed- to Molly. Husk wasn’t sure why Anthony needed to be so loud in order to have a simple conversation with his beloved twin sister.

“Please, just be careful. Herding is dangerous. Especially on the Chisholm. Remember that I love you, Anthony. You can’t die out there!” Molly exclaimed, but Anthony just laughed it off.

“This is not my first herd i'm delivering in Abilene. We’ll be fine.” Anthony's accent was more reminiscent of west Texas, a contrast to Husk’s Louisiana and East Texas mush he had. Husk had grown up, on his own ranch of course, with just his Mom. The two of them lived near the border between Louisiana and Texas and he sounded like it. His family had been taking care of that ranch ever since civil war times.

“Hey! Cookie! Get your ass ready quick now. Say your goodbyes and be done with it.” Anthony needed to get the chuck wagon ready for the drive today- though he supposed he could have gone about it nicer. A happy cook meant a good drive. He would likely be staying up later and getting up earlier than even some longhorns on this drive. “Yeah, yeah.” Anthony grumbled.

After a bit longer talking to Molly, Anthony gave her a final tight hug and they parted ways. Anthony made his way over to the chuck wagon to do a last look through of their supplies, and started saddling up his mustang. So, Husk made his way over to the less than pleased cook.

“What's its name?” Husk asked.

“What?”

“The name. What is your horse’s name?” Husk asked again.

“Fat Nuggets”

There was a beat of silence.

“What.”

“The horse’s name. It's Fat Nuggets.”

“Yeah. I got that. I just didn’t like it” Husk sighed. His horse's name was Angoliath, and while that might not be much better, it was still damn sure better than Fat Nuggets. “Why on god's green earth did you name your mustang Fat Nuggets?” Husked asked, incredulous.

Anthony paused for a minute after this and thought, as if contemplating whether or not to tell Husk the truth. “I don’t know. I wasn’t the one who named him. He belonged to a close… acquaintance… before he was my horse. The previous owner named him” Anthony answered honestly. Mostly.

“Well your acquaintance was real fucking stupid.” Husk jabbed.

“Don’t I know it.” whatever that meant.

__________

The group had been traveling for four hours now after leaving the ranch at around seven A.M. Husk was leading the herd of longhorns and men in the front of the group, isolated from his other cowmen, as was his job as the trail boss. This left Husk with quite a bit of silent thinking time in which he got to smell the sweet aroma of livestock and look out upon the rich landscapes of Texas. Husk could not stop thinking about Anthony and his unintentional humor, those leather chaps (that showed his ass perfectly),his wide brimmed hat and million dollar smile. It was a real shame that he was working as a cowman and not off in some other more glamorous state, living a glamorous life with a glamorous girl on his arm.

On this particular cattle drive, Husk’s group consisted of One point man leading the herd at the front, but behind Husk taking directions from him when needed. The point man was named Alastor and Husk thought his smile was creepy as fuck but he seemed to know what he was doing. Then, two swing men- or women- Vaggie and Charlie. Charlie was on the left and Vaggie was on the right of either side of the herd, both about a third of the way back from the point man. Husk had only spent a little bit of time with those two since leaving for this journey but he was ninety percent sure something was queer about them. In more ways than one. Behind them were two flanks, Sir Pentous and Cherri Bomb, who were responsible for turning away any strays and keeping the herd in a line formation. Cherri Bomb weirded Husk out but somehow Sir Pentious weirded Husk out even more. Both seemed like they did not belong in the middle of ‘Buttfuck Nowhere, Texas’ on a cattle drive, but he supposed that he belonged back home gambling with his friends in the local saloon so he chose not to question it.

In the very back of the large herd, behind all the cattle were three ‘dust eaters' or the drags. God he almost felt bad for those guys if he didn't already feel so bad for poor Anthony. They had, in his opinion, the second worst job. They ride behind the giant herd keeping the slower cattle moving and getting bombarded with the dust that 1521 cattle kicked up. That was Nifty who seemed a little off her rocker, Emily who was probably the only normal person here, and finally a slightly off putting woman named Rosie. Overall though, all three seemed to have good intentions and Husk knew if it came to it he could count on them.

Off to the side of the herd was Anthony driving the chuckwagon. His job was the worst in the group. He was responsible for cooking for them and would most likely be battling sleep deprivation the entire time as well. Behind Anthony was the wrangler who was in charge of taking care of all the extra Mustangs that they had on the drive. His name was Lucifer which Husk found hilarious. When he asked his real name, though, he just looked at Husk and changed the topic.

This group was definitely the strangest he had ever rode with and this was also his first drive being a Trail Boss. In some ways the job was pretty nice. Nobody argued with him (unless they wanted to lose their job) and he enjoyed the sense of independence he got from it. He was directing their group, selecting daily routes and making any decisions while out on the drive. It did some with a certain pressure to it. If anybody died out here, he would feel personally responsible. With some of the dumb fucks in this group, he wouldnt be suprised if one of them somehow did lose their life as well.

__________

“This ain’t half bad.” Husk bit into a particularly edible piece of beef. It wasn’t great but it was edible and he couldn't really expect much to be great when it came out of a damn chuck wagon. His cookie, Anthony, had made the group beef, beans, biscuits, and of course coffee.

“I’m just happy that we're gettin’ meat tonight. Don't get used to it.” Anthony replied. The group let out some chuckles. “Maybe on our last night together in however many weeks I'll cook up some meat, desert, and I’ll buy us some alcohol.” Anthony thought aloud.

“I, for one, am very on board with that plan” Cherri Bomb chipped in, and a couple others hummed in agreement.

The air was lively for the entirety of dinner, and Husk had (surprisingly) enjoyed conversation with most there. After their meal time, Husk volunteered for the first watch and most others went to their respective bed rolls. Except for Anthony, who was still packing up the chuck wagon in order to make breakfast tomorrow and was positively exhausted. Husk, however, thought he looked ravishing even covered in dirt and grime.

“Hey.” What the fuck was wrong with him.

“Hi.” Amthony sent him a tight lipped smile.

“How did you end up being a cook?” Husk asked, trying to break the very clear ice between them. Anthony looked up at Husk, who was adjusting his saddle and rifle on his horse getting ready for his two hour watch tonight.

“Why do you ask? What about you? How did you become a Segundo?” Anthony asked rather defensively.

Goddammit, Husk had to admit, the way Anthony said ‘Segundo’ was downright sexy. But he couldn't be thinking those kinds of thoughts out here. Or anywhere. For years now he had been trying to find the right woman to marry back home and ignore his very obvious attraction to men. If Anthony kept being so attractive, Husk had no idea how he would keep his rather sinful thoughts to himself. But he had to. Anthony could turn him into the authorities, or worse, tell his family and friends he was a queer.

“Number one, I ain’t no Segundo. I’m above that now, ya hear. And number two, I ain’t mean no harm. I just rarely see a cookie who's not as old as time or too injured to do anything else.” Vaguely Husk wondered if he sounded like he was trying too hard to be aloof and nonchalant.

Anthony fully turned to him now, “My mama taught me how to cook, and I was never too good at riding or shooting anyways. When she sent me off to find work as a cowmen this was the position I was most qualified for. And I can make a mean gravy.” He flashed one of his infuriatingly perfect smiles at Husk, though something about it seemed fake.

“She ‘sent you off’? What happened?” Husk was definitely using this as an excuse to get to know his, rather attractive, fellow cowboy.

“She thought I was involved with the… wrong crowd. Caught me doing stuff I shouldn’t have been up to.” Anthony left it vague and it was all too clear that he wasn’t in any kind of mood to talk about it. His body language was stiff and suddenly he was avoiding all eye contact. Husk now turned towards him, leaving his work behind momentarily.

“Listen kid, I know we barely know each other but it seems like you've had it hard. If you need someone to just listen to you or offer any advice I’m here. As your trail boss, it’s my job to keep y’all healthy and happy and alive. If you need to let it all out in order to fulfill the ‘happy’ requirement then you can lay it all on me. Anytime.” Husk tried to sound sincere but it was made significantly harder due to how tired he was at the moment. For a moment, something akin to tears and sadness made its way onto Anthony's face before it was pushed aside.

“Thank you Husk. That means a lot.” Anthony sincerely replied.

“Of course.”

“I ain’t a kid though.” Anthony teased.

“What? How old are you?” Anthony had to be no older than eighteen.

“I’m twenty-eight.” Anthony replied with the most serious tone Husk has heard on him yet.

“Well I’ll be damned. I’m thirty. I can’t fucking believe we are only two years apart.” Husk's eyes had to be as wide as Alastor’s creepy ass smile. Anthony looked youthful, untouched by the stressors of a normal cowmans life. Like getting attacked and killed.

“No shit? I thought you had to be at least forty!” Anthony poked fun at him.

“Alright you little shit. You’re lucky that I’m feeling particularly exhausted tonight or else I’d rock your shit.” Husk grumbled.

“I’d like to see you try” Anthony sticked his tongue at him, like a six year old.

“Consider it a promise then. Next time you get on my nerves.” Despite his threat, Husk was smiling. This was the first time in a long time Husk had truly enjoyed talking to someone. Both during the entirety of dinner, and now while he was fixing to go on watch.

“I’ll look forward to it then, old man.” Anthony replied, coolly. Husk just shook his head, that same dumb smile still on his face, and mounted the Mustang. This one was named ‘Arwen’, a weird name in his opinion, but he was traveling with a man named Lucifer and a woman named Cherri Bomb so he supposed he could ignore it.

“I enjoyed talking tonight.” Husk nodded towards Anthony before using his spurs to encourage Arwen into a trot towards the herd he was supposed to be watching 10 minutes ago.

“I’ll look out for our next!” Anthony called after him.

Come to think of it, if anybody else had called Husk ‘old man’ like Anthony did a minute ago he would either force them to take his watch in his place or just straight up fire them. But Husk could already tell Anthony was going to be an exception.

CHISHOLM, Minn. -- The northern Minnesota law enforcement officers who fatally shot 38-year-old Michael David Johnson in April will not face charges, the St. Louis County Attorney's Office says.

Johnson was shot around 5 a.m. on April 20, after officers were requested to arrest him on a felony stalking charge. Officers found his vehicle around the 200 block of Central Avenue in Chisholm and tried to take him into custody, but efforts to communicate with him stalled, according to the county attorney.

Eventually Johnson came out of the home with knives in his hands. St. Louis County Sheriff's Deputy Gavin Nichols fired two less lethal rounds, which did not stop him from advancing.

The attorney's office says he came towards the officers, and Virginia Police Officer Nicholas Grivna and St. Louis County Deputy Cody Dillinger fired their guns. Johnson died at the scene, despite life-saving efforts from medics and officers.

Johnson was shot six times in the torso, according to an autopsy report.

The attorney's office ultimately determined - after examining body-worn camera, squad car dash camera, and other evidence - that an "objectively reasonable" officer would believe there was a threat of death or great bodily harm and that the officers' actions were reasonable.

Chisholm is located roughly 6 miles northeast of Hibbing in northern Minnesota's Iron Range.

“Police Press Search For Strongarm Thugs,” Vancouver Province. May 18, 1942. Page 5. ---- Two Cyclists Are Attacked In Weekend Daylight Holdups ---- Youthful strongarm thugs who attacked two young cyclists Saturday afternoon on pretexts that the boys had stolen something from them were the object of search by detectives over the weekend.

First victim was James Don, 14, of 4356 Elgin, who was attacked and robbed of $148 at Twenty-fifth and Knight at noon Saturday. The thugs were in a car and crowded the boy to the curb, told him that he had stolen the reflector from their car and then robbed him. 

At 4:30 the same lads attacked Bernard Chisholm, 13, of 4116 East Georgia, delivery boy for Superior Stores, 2485 East Hastings, and accused him of stealing their watch, and then asked him for all his money. 

When they grabbed him, the messenger called for help, and as  Leonard Carlson, 2236 East Pender approached, the young thugs fled.

Andrew Bak, 627 Keefer, said he was strongarmed and robbed of $20 and a $50 Victory bond by two thugs at Keefer and Gore at 4:30 a.m. Sunday.

Robert H. Booth, 274 Queens road, North Vancouver, said that his wallet containing $10 was stolen in the vestry of St. James' Church.

“Penitentiary Terms For Robbing Cottages,” Ottawa Journal. March 19, 1942. Page 19. ----- Pte. Ralph Cheney, 23, of Royal Montreal Regiment, was sentenced to three years in Kingston Penitentiary by Magistrate Lieff in County Police Court this morning, after he had pleaded guilty of entering four cottages and stealing a quantity of clothing. He was sentenced to three years on each of four charges of breaking, entering and theft sentences to run concurrently.

Pte. Albert Mitchell, 17. of Cameron Highlanders, stationed at Cornwall, arrested jointly with Cheney on similar charges, was remanded tor sentence until nest week, pending reports and more Information from the Children's Aid Society.

Both pleaded guilty to the charges In court last Monday and were remanded at that time for sentence. They were arrested by Provincial Constable George Chisholm following investigation into theft of clothing valued at $200 from four cottages on the Prescott Highway near Black Rapids, belonging to Mrs. Charles Lett. Dr. S. Ford, J, G. Veitch, and W. A. Hawn.

[AL: Cheney had been in the penitentiary before, for escaping Guelph Reformatory. He was unmarried, a soldier in the Canadian Active Service Force, had been out of prison for almost two years, and lived in Ottawa. He was convict #6864 when he came to Kingston Penitentiary. Cheney was put to work with a large gang - over 100 men - cutting stone in a gang outside the walls of the penitentiary. On July 7, 1942, at 3:00 pm, Cheney, along with #6618 Churchman and #6660 Demude, escaped from the penitentiary - taking advantage of distractions caused by a shift change at the nearby canning plant and a delivery truck arriving, they managed to sneak away. Neither their instructor or the nearby tower officer saw the escape, and it took a half hour for their disappearance to be noted. They crossed an ‘impassable’ chain link fence, but Churchman and Demude left Cheney behind when he hurt his ankle - he was arrested hiding in some rocks on the shoreline. Local military authorities believed their story they were searching for an escaped boat, and eventually the other two men reached a coal dock where the two escapees hid in the coal (smearing their face with coal dust) and waited until midnight when the guards and police were recalled from the search. The two men stole a car near Bellevue House and tried to drive out of Kingston, but got lost and police immediately recognized them as suspicious characters. They resisted arrest but were brought back to the penitentiary at 1:30 a.m.. They joined Cheney in solitary for a week. Cheney received 6 months additional for his escape, and was kept in the East Cell Block (high security) for another year - there he was implicated in at least two other escape attempts. Eventually, he was put in the stonebreaking shed and then made a cleaner in the Wing & Cells work gang, and was released August 1945 from the prison. He would be back by 1947.]

Aggravated sexual assault case in Halifax put over until next month

HALIFAX -- The case of a man charged with aggravated sexual assault and choking to overcome resistance after a woman said she was attacked in a Halifax home has been adjourned again.

Sem Paul Obed appeared in Halifax provincial court today by video link, and his lawyer Brad Sarson told Judge Marc Chisholm that he wanted more time before proceeding.

The case was adjourned until Sept. 5.

Police have said the suspect fled the home before the woman contacted officers at about 11:50 a.m. on June 1, and Obed was arrested at a home in the Fairview area less than five hours later.

Obed, who is in his late 40s, is also facing charges of uttering threats, break and enter and two counts of breaching court orders.
