The question. “How shall we deal with»
the Indian 1" is constantly rising, in one

.form or number. The latest phase is found

in the region known as the Indian Terri

way of advancing civilization. Briefly
stated, the case is as follows: Between the
years 1817 and 1836, by a series of treaties
made with five Indian tribes—the Chero-
kees, Choctaws, Creeks, Chickasaws and

Seminoles—the whole ofthe Territory was

parceled out into res‘ervations for the occu-

pancy 'of these tribes. In exchange for the

reservations thus received, they . had ceded

lands in Tennessee, Georgia and other States

east of the Mississippi, and the Government

paid the expense of transporting them- to

their new homes. ‘The limits of these reser-

vations remained substantially unchanged

until 1866. Many of the Indian tribes~ had

taken part in the rebellion, and the changes

in the reservations were mainly caused by

their disloyal conduct. The Choctaws and

Chickasaws ceded a portion of their reServa-

tion to the Goverment, and received for it

the sum of $300,000. The Greeks, for $100,;

000, ceded thewest half of their reservation »
and the Seminoles, for $325,000 gave up the

whole of their reservation and received

200,000 acres of land near the new western

boundary of the Greek reservation. No

change of boundaries was made with the

Cherokees, but it was arranged that other

Indian tribes might be settled. on their reser-

vatiou on payment ofa stipulated price for

the land. In the following year the Kiowas
:md Comancbes were granted a reservation

comprising nearly all the land relinquished

by the Choctnws and Chickasaws, south of
the Wasbita 'szer, and Containing about

8,000 square miles. Very soon after this
arrangement was completed reservations

were granted to the Cheyennes and Arapa-

hoes, and before the end of 1868 a dozen

other tribes or remnants of tribes were loca-

ted ih the Territory. NO important

changes have been made since that time,
and the various, reservations comprise all
the Territory,- except a small portion. of I the
land purchased from the' CboCtaws and .oth-

ers in 1866, to which no Indian title has
since attached. '

By the terms of the treatieswith the tribes-
originally moved into the'Territory, it was
stipulated that the United States should
maintain the Indians in occupation of their

reservations, and guarantee them in peace-'
able posessiOn forever. No white settlers
.vere to be allowed in the Territory, and the
Govermeut wasmot to interfere with the
Indians, who were to make and execute
their own laws in their own way. Substan-
tially, the. Indians were to be treated as
separate nationalitieshliving within a great
and powerful nation. They desired exclu .

'sivencss, and by the strict terms of the

treaty they were entitled to it. But they
found it to their advantage to allow white
men to visit them and in many cases to
marry and-live among them. Instead of
shutting up their country in a Chinese wall,
either real or imaginary, they allowed the
whites to travel through it almost at will,
and they had a sufficient knowledge of the
theory and practice of civilization to exact
a toll from those who visited. them. Some
of the tribes started schools, churches, print-
ing-presses and other adjuncts of civiliza-
tion, cultivated the sOil, indulged in law-
suits, held slaves, and did other things not
atailpcculiur to the savage. North and
‘south through the territory, there was a
n. broad road or trail, by which many
thousands Ofcatile were annually driven
from Texas to Missouri and Kansas. There
are other roads through the territory, and
at some of the river crossings there are
steam ferry-boats,belonging to the Indians
and to white men associating and living
with them.

By the terms ofthe Original treaties. the
Government reserved the right of way 'for
two linesof railway—one to run. north . and
south and the other cast and west. Both
these roads are under construction, and the
n'orth and south- line. koow'nas the Missouri,

 

Kshsas=and.'l‘exss Rallway,-is nearly — com.

tory,.where curred brothers stand in the =

pleted. Good faith in the Governmen to-
ward the companies building this and the
other road requires the speedy extinction
of the Indian title, so that the country can
be settled, and good faith toward the Indian
requires that the title shall be honorably
and equitably extinguished. A bill is now
before Congress to accomplish this two-fold
object. . .

‘ It provides that the country now known
as the Indian Territory shai be dealt with
hereafter as a regularly-constituted Terri-
tory, under the name of Oklahoma. The
usual Territorial officers shall be appointed
in the usual way; the Indian exclusivencss
shall be ended by opening the country to
settlement ; every Indian, man, woman and
child, Shall receive an Allotment of160 acres
of laud,and have the selection of its loca.
tion, the land to be inalienable for twenty
years, and after that time to be sold or re-

tained, at the pleasure of its possessor. The
test of the land in the Territory shall be

sold by the Govcrmcut as other public

lands are sold, and, the proceeds shall be
held in trustfor the benefit of the Indian

communities to which they had been sever.

ally reserved. In this why a. fund will be,
created, out of which thelndians may estab-

lish schools or other civiliziug institutions,

purchase farming? implements, build _,rail-

ways, or do anything else that to them

seemetb good. The land granted to them

will oeamply sufficient for all their wants

' as agriculturists’ and the proceeds of the

remaining lands Can supply all other desires
including a billiard-table and piano for
every family and a crying doll for. every
Indian baby between Red River and the
Kansas boundary. , ,

At the time ofthe treaties with the great-
tribes the Indian Territory was. in the
furthest corner of the United-States. Texas
was a MexiCan province, and no one could
foresee that it would soon be ours. A glance
at the map of to-day shows the Indian Ter-
ritory bounded on three sides by prosperous

. and rapidly growing States, SEEP the coun- _

try on the west is destined for settlement at
no distant period, ‘ Under the present sys-
tom the Territory is a barrier to civilization
and progress, and the greatest good of the
greatest number- imperatively demands that
all barriers shall ,be removed. In all civ-
ilized countries private property can be and
is tuktau when wanted for public use. A.
man’in’Conneclicut or Pennsylvania holds
his {arm by a guaranteed title ; it is for him
and his heirs forever: A. public improve-
ment demands that this farm, or a portion
of it, shall be taken-from him ; it is taken,
and the owner receives an award for the
damages he has sustained. In exactly the
same way the Indian Territory should be
thrown open to settlement, and _ the tribes

and people to whom it has' been granted

should receive ‘ a liberal and equitable
award. In the past decade we have had.
newer and clearer definitions of the rights
and duties of citizenship. The interest of
the United States demands that we shall no
longer have any independent nationalities
on our soil, but that every man, whatever
his color or race, dwelling under the shadow

of our flag, shall be subject to our laws, and
receive the education that makes him an in-
telligent citizen. The towns and villages
and cities that will speedily arise in the new

'Tcrritcry of Oklahoma, when her rich acres

are opened to settlement, will give the In-
dian the arts of CiVliiZtlliOIl a hundred fold
more rapidly than be now obtains them,
and will widen by more than three hundred
miles the path of empire on its westward
way. ‘ ‘

int. NASBY IN CONNECTICUT ON Tm: INVITA-
TION or THE DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE—
an. PLATFORM—Ins FIRST AND LAST
SPEECH. .

HARTFORD, CONN. March 6th, 1872.
From Connecticut came to me the Musse-
doniau cry, “Come over and help us." Ez
the Committee in a private note asshoored
me uv supplies, I acceptid with alacrily.
Couple Massedonian cries with llkker ad
lMum, and it is not in my poor, week,
human anchor to resist. I shood respond
even were [stretched on a bed of sicknis.
But I go to Connecticut willinly, furl like
her Dimocrisy. Durin the late unpleasant-
nis wich resultid so disastrously to the south
the Dimocrisy uv. that State never wavered
in their support uv the cause uv southern
ritcs’ and after the struggle wuz transferred
from the fild to the politikle arena, no-
where did we find more steadfast frends.
Nowhere wuz ther sich genuine, deliieful
hatrid 0v the nigger—nowhere wuz tlzere a
more earnest opposishen to all the measures
proposed by the infamous Abilisbinists, wich
hev so long held us under their iron heels.
Then agin, the likker wich the Dimocrisy uv

Connecticut drink is the most Sarcbin uv

any I ever .tastid. There is a grip in it—it
takes hold uv the center uv life with more
vishusnis than any I ever got hold uv.
I wuz received with enthusiasm, fur help
w'nz very much needed there. They depended
on me to infoose suthin like enthusiasm into
the campaue. I wuz requested immejitly to
attend a meetin in the Central Committee,
that I might be instructld in the little detail
wich it wood be nessary to know, that 1
mite adapt myself to the pecooliarities of
Connecticut politiks. “I spose, gentlemen,”
said I, in- my easy, fiowiu style, “that the
speeches wich, ea 0, Dimocrat, I hev been
deliverin fur the past four or five years in
all scekshunsuv our wuust happy but now
distractid Country, will anser fur this State
without material alterasheu. Dimocrisy,
gentlemen, is a eternal prinsipple wich, like
the cverlastiu hills, kin never change. Ez
some uv you may never hev bed the pleas-
ure uv nennn, that celebratid speech, I will
give you a synopsis liv it. After alludin
lireefly to the grandjer uv the country,
divcllin more fully on the grandjer uv the
pertikeler State i'nto wich I happen to be
in (wich ‘I assertane. aforehand), I perceed
to wnuut to a viggerns denunsiashcn of tile‘
N igger—”' .

The Chairmanbegged me to pause.
, “On general 'prinsipples,” scd he, “and ez
a rule,I sympathize with our friend in
domain the Nigger. But it will hardly do
in this State at this time; to indulge in that
meat natriii domain. The fact is, Mr. N asby
there is several thousand Diggers in Con-
necticut, AND THEY var]: i Dimocrisy can’t
afford to damn any class wich votes. Give
Mr. Nashy a. drink.”

I took the drink and continyood.
,“I protest' agin the nigger—a Nashnel
Dimocrat, pertlkelcrly, a Kentucky Dimo-
crat, must perpetually protest ngiu the nig-
ger; but I recognize the Sitooasbcn here.
and will struggle tO' adapt myself to it. I
will do violence to my Dimocrisy and my
feciins, and let the Nigger alone. But while
i am willin not l0 abuse him Oil general
prinsiples, ez a matter nv course I sbel op-
pose with all the powethev the unholy
and nuconstooshnel amendments ' wich
emancipated him, and—"
“Will Mr. Nasby pardon me,” sed the
Chairman, blandly; “in the platform ndoptid
by the Dimocrisy uv Connecticut, emansi-
pashen is accepiid ez a fixed fact,.aud—bul
give Mr. Nasbyit drink.” . , '
‘I tank. the drink—a very large one, for in
my flurry it wuz nessessary, and went on.
,“I spose,"'sed I, “that on you boy done
this, I sbel boy to .swnller emancipashcn—
n. leelle drop more uv that whisky of you
please—hut it don’t matter. Ikin'a't least
yoosc that pol-Shea uv my speech wich
denies. to-em. civil rites and the ballot. {I

Crowned our efforts—when there is a Dimo-

does emansipaslicn amount to without ekal
rites and the ballot, and wat—"
“MayIiuterrupt you wunst more?” in-
terruplid the Chairman, blunder than ever.
"The platform adopted by the Dimocn’sv uv
Connecticut accepts not only the emanSipa-
shen uv the Nigger, but ckal rites and the
ballotfor him—give Mr. Nasby a drink, or
by‘the way, set a bottle and glass by his
elbow that he may help hisself. ‘ 7

I wuz so staggered by this that I involun-
tarily put the bottle to my lips iuslid uv
goiu thro the formality uv pourili it into a
glass, and in my dazed condisiicn held it
there till it was neerly exhaustid.

"Gentlemen,” I remarked aflera Iiiinit uv
profound thought, “for a Nashnel Dimocrat
you are askin a great deal, but—but—I'm
ekul to it. I accept cmausioashen, civil
rites andibc ballot. But my speeches will
oessessurilybe short. You hev elipt my rite
wing, and nmputatid my left, and l hev only
the tail to support me. The way you hev
the thing fixed my speech must, ez a matter
uv course, be confined to finanshcl topics.
Thank Heaven the repoodiashen uv the
debt is still left me, and on that l_ shel
dWeli.”

“Take another bottle, Mr. Nasby," sed the
Chairman, more blanderer than ever, “and
permit me to sejest that the platform by the
Dimocrisy uv Connecticut r'epoodiates-the
proposishen to repoodiate the Nashnel debt
with loathin and skorn, brandin the charge
ez a slander, and insists upon its payment,
principle and inttest. Take another drink,
I beg, Mr. Nasby." -

“Good Lord. 1” gasped I in astonishment,
“Emancipashen, Ekal Rites, Imparshel Suf-
frage, and the Payment uv the Debt l Why
gentle sirs. I mite oz well pill on a clean shirt

I kin see, the ~matter uv clean linen is all
that we shcl differ in. I can't do ii—recly I
can’t. Think uv Kentucky—think 'uv
Southern Injeany and Illiuoy—think uv the
Irish in N00 York—think uv the l”

The Chairman with a smile, the blandness
uv wich I never saw eka‘lled, pressed~ me to
take one more drink, wich I‘did. He then
remarkt that in the present state uv afi'airs,
Dimocrisy coodent be expectid to be one and
the same everywhere. To reach success,
wich is Post Otilces, it was compelled to cul-_
Iivate an elastissity uv perfesSlien wich
allows ddapiin itself to any kind uv circum-
stances. It was uv nessessity one' thing in
one place and another in another—jest cz
the pckooliar pekooliarilies uv the people
manifested ibeirselves. Ef the‘people nv a
certain locality wants one perllkuler line uv
polisy, it is the biznis uv the Dimocrisy to
promise it—of another secksben desires a
line uv polisy preslscly the opposite, why
the Dimocrisy must promise that also. Sich
procedins will, I know, make combinasbens
nv a rather startlill character. It is a stag-
grer to see our friend Nasby detendin nigger
votin, but I hev hopes uv seeln Tweed, and
Sweeney, and Scliurz, and Greeley all a
workin together on a platform uv opposi-
shen to corrupshen. When success hcz

Dimocralic Congress and Dimocratic legisla-

care for herself. The pint now'is success".
"But,” he reselimed, comin to things practi-
kle, “take another du‘iik." _

I took it, wich made nearly a gallon that
[bed absorbed. Uv course I consentid to
endorse the platform adopiid by the Con-
venshcn. and commenst my work the next
eveniii. My first appinimeut wuz in a se-
kloodid village. in wich the Dimocrisy are
largely in the majority, and consekently are
more enthoosiastic and aggressive than they
are where they are weaker. 1 bed a large
meetin,and it ought to hev bin a success,
but they hadn’t read the platform and knowd
nothin uv it. I bed it afore me, and opened
with a Vigorous eulogy uv Emancipashen,
and wuz a follerin nv it up insistin that the

most just and proper thing to do, when I
wuz greetid with a storm uv hisses. ’
“Hist the cussld Ablisbnish oii the'stand l"
snreeked the enraged masses.
“Kill the nigger-lover l” shouted a skore.
And the Chairman uv the meetin, a large
and muscular man, did deliberately seeze me
by the cote collar and lead me to the front
[IV the stage, and with one well direciid
kick. shoot me into the very middle uv thu-
a‘iudieuce, who fell upon and beat me in the
most brootal manner. Some Ablishnists
took care uv me that night or I shood hev
died. They hcd becrd my speech,ez for ez
I got with it, and said to me that the idea nv
a Radikle gettin into the Dimocratic camp
the way I lied done, wuz a bold one, but
rather resky.
I sought out the Dimocrisy the next
inorniu and showed em my credeusllels.
quy recognized the signatoors uv the Com-
mittee, and were willin enutf to admit their
geuooineness, but they insisted that I wuz
either drunk or crazy to talk sich talk at a
Dimokratic meetin, and advised me to git
out uv that ez soon ez convenient.
I did it. I shell go back to Kentucky ill].
mcjitly. I don’t likethe way things is fixed
in Connecticut and I’ll none uv it. When a
man, sent out by a Dimocratic Committee,
and talkin from the platform adoptid by the.
Dimocratic Convenshen, comes out UV 0
Dimocratic meeiin one massuv livid brooscs
and drencht in gear, it is time that suthin he
did. Sieh things don’t happiu at the Cor-
ners, and there I sbel go, leavin Conneci-
cut to her fate. I hev learned, tho, exactly
the amount uv whisky nessary to' bring a
Kentucky Dimocrat to the‘ level uv his Con-
necticut brethren. One gallon and perhaps
a pint, unwatcred, is the precise quantity.

SNOW BOUND.

We copy from the Alta Califormo of Feb.
2011), the following narrative of a passenger
on one of the “snovved in” trains bound from
Omaha tO San Francisco. Among the pos-
sengers was a brother of Mr. C. W. LcConnt,
of this place.

The reporter was favored with the follow-
ing interesting. narrative of the recent ex-
traordinary trip across the continent from
the note book of a San Franciscan, well
know in business circles:

~Our informant lefl Omaha on the 24th of
January, the train consisting (in addition to
the usual postal and baggage cars) of the
Pullman car “Laramie,” “San Francisco,”
and “Michigan," and second class cars. The
passengers were informed at the Company’s
Oilice that the road was unobstructed, and
anticipations were indulged in ofu pleasant
and speedy passage. Nothing out of the
usual order occurred until

THE ARRIVAL AT CHEYENNE
on the afternoon of the 25th. At this point
they found in waiting one' train which had
arrived the day previous, two trains having
left for the West the day of their arrival.

At Cheyenne our travelers were detained
four days, the information from “the front”
being uncertain and unsatisfactory. The
time was passed, as is usual under such cir-
cumstances, by reading, card playing, mock
trials, etc., with the usual accessories of cat-
ing and sleeping.

Cheyenne, since the burning of the fine
Railroad Hotel, does not boast of “superior”
accommodations for travelers, notwithstand-
inga pretentious restaurant of that name;
so our passengers relied upon their own re-
sources to furnish their tables, and 'extraon
dinury- compounds were sometimes pro-
duced.

It is but justice to the leading citizens of
Cheyenne ti) say that they exerted them-
selves lo make the forced stay of the tr'av-
elei's as pleasant as possible, and on Satur—
day evening, the 27th inst, a party was
given, to which the ladies and gentlemen Of
the trains were invited guests. In this con-

,nection should be mentioned the name of

Mr. — Arnold. banker. to’ whose kind
offices the passengers were indebted for this
act of courtesy. On Monday, the 30th ol
January, after four days’ detention, the shrill

the accident and anticipate a worse result.
On arrival at Laramie about 9 a. at. next
day (313i) he was conveyed to the hotel,
where his foot was amputated at the ankle

afterward.
AT LAKAIIIE

we found the trains, which had preceded as
five days before we left Cheyenne; also a
large number of eastern bound passengers,
who had been similarly detained. From
these were obtained copies of San Francisco
papers of January 19th, the contents of
which were greedily devoured by hungry
Californians.
MEAL TICKETS ISSUED.

At Laramie, tickets were issued by the
Company,but many of the passengers, dis-
gusted with the struggle and rush for in-
ferior food at the hotel, fell back upon‘their
own supplies.

WORKING THROUGH SNOW Dams.
Leaving Laramie the same evening, we
worked slowly through sno'w drifts, the pas-
sengers assisting in shoveling. Friday, Feb.
2d, found us at Rock Creek, fifty miles dis-
tant from Laramie. Here we met another
Eastern bound train, the passengers, like
ourselves, having shoveled their way
through. A thorough search for newspapers
from California resulted in finding about
seven-eighths of an interior paper of the 22d
of January. the only glimpse of the outer
world (since the papers before referred to)
we had seen since leaving Omaha. ‘ After a
long delay in cooling, watering, etc., we
again started, two passenger trains, with a
‘relief train in the advance, preceding us a
few hours. All were
. norm or A GOOD RUN,
as we were informed that the road was clear
of Obstructions for some distance. A half
hour’s run from Rock Creek brought us to a
stand-still in a drift, through which the re-
lief and one passenger train had passed a
few hours before.

Saturday found us lying there helpless,

the section men and repair train being thirty

miles away at Carbon. The Climax of our

troubles seemed to have been reached ;

there had been a well grounded feeling that

great mismanagement bad characterized the

efforts to relieve the trains, and mutterings

both loud and deep of violent measures had

been heard. some’of the more hasty advoca-

ting the forcible seizure of the trains and

picssing through atoll hazards. The sup-

plies Of provisions among the passengers

were fast being exhausted, while many,

emigrants and second-class passengers, were

subsisting upon the snppliés of crackers,
cheese,smoketl beef, fish, etc., distributed by

the company. whicb,though good of their
kind, were not just the thing for a steady

ict.

d MEETING or PASSENGERS.

[At this juncture scan was made for a
meeting of the passengers, and on the even-
ing Of Saturday, Feb. 3d, representatives of
the various trains assembled in the sleeper
“San Francisco," at which Dr. Conger, of
Salt Lake, was chosen Chairman, and Mr.
Wm. P. Harrison, of San Francisco, acted
as Scereiary. A general» discussion of the
situation was had, and merited indignation
at the course Of the Company was expressed.

It was stated that one of the passengers in
the forward train, Judge J. H. Shaler. had a
large quantity of hotel supplies for his hotel
at Green River ; il lat his relations with the
Company were such that he was Willing to
place them at their disposal.

ALI. HANDS WILLING TO WORK.

It was further stated as the sense ofthe
meeting, that evt-ry able bodied man on the
trains was ready and willing to workat the
snow drifts, as many had already done. A
Committee was appointed to wait “9"“ ““5
conductors of the advance trains, and invite
them before the meeting, in response to
which Conducto. 5 Patterson and Hobart

was gathered,but the meeting was convinced
that, unless energetic measures were at once
adopted our trip would be lengthened into
weeks.

II I‘ O 'I *

Monday fOnnd the trains ‘at Wilcox, await-
ing the relief trains; again the passengers
faced the icy blast.=relievlng- each other as
the work exhausted muscles unused 'to
heavier labor than' driving a quill or de-
taching coupons. The relief train which
had been turned back finally formed a jam:-
tiou with us, and Carbon was reached, thirty-
five miles in two days.

Monday night was made memorable in
the history of the trip, by several episodes
which we will relate in their order. The
worthy inmates of the “Michigan” had been
greatly annoyed by the brutal conduct of
one of the noisicst of passengers. who had
been repeatedly beating his wife, until inter-
fered with by the passengers. On the night
in question he had disturbed the entire car
uptil a late hour, when Conductor Locke
was called, and the fellow ordered to cease
or leave the car. Drawing a pistol on the
conductor, he was seized and disarmed, tied
securely with a Strong rope, and looked in.
state-room, with the intention of putting him
of! next morning. He was afterward re-
leased, with the promise to leave the ear and
his wife, which he did. ,

As this scene was about terminated, at
nearly three o’clock, a new evil presented
itself In'tbe adjoining ear, “San Francisco,"
the passengers in which were resting in pro-
found slumber, when, the dread cry of the
"cur Is on fire-3min out i" aroused all; a
dense smoke filled the car, and'the wind Was
blowing a hurricane without; in darkness
and in it narrow space betWeeh the sections
twenty-two; men, women and . Children
groped for‘ their clothes and hastily dressed.
while the train bands,wilh axes,broke‘ awa
the burning woodwork, or rushed throng
wuh buckets Of 'water to the rescue. ‘For-
tunately the fire (which had been cOmmuni-
cated by a lamp upsetting in the .water
closet). was soon extinguished, and the
calamity of being turned out into the, snow
or huddled into other already overcrowded
cars wits averted, and the passengers return-
ed one after another to their berths;

At Carbon the, train remained until the
.iflernoon of Wednesd, a y, 7th, the relief train
lnd_‘one passenger train with thesupplies
haying passed on to Simpson’s, sevenimiles,
the cuts between having been filled by the
fearful drmng, wind almost as soon as the
.ralns passed over. ’
The connection was not made, however.
until the passengers. again despairing-o: re-
liet,'h_ad turned out and cleared the way,
working late in the night; As if 'thernp
was not already filled to overflowing. a new
horror presented itself, as it was whispered
about that the small pox had broken Out.
The knowledge was kept secret by the few
to avoid a panic, but it transpired that the
colored steward of the “San Francisco," who
and been confined to his bed for several
days, had been taken at! the train, with well
defined small pox. Poor Theodore had been
very attentive to his passengers, who made
up a purse for him when it was undemood
that he was to be left. _
’ as may be surmised, the feeling of appre-
hension hung over the passengels for many
days, and earnest were the prayers for a
quick return to home and friends. The con-
dition of the passenger ears, some of dhem
filled with emigrants, with no comforts for
sleeping, with scant and inferior food, all
ventilation closed for greater warmth, the
atmosphere rocking with unwholesolne
odors, seemed , to invite the pestilence -
while in the better class of cars thepb'ysicai
systems were deranged by want of exercise
and insufficient food, eaten at irregular
hours, and anxiety created by long absence
rom families and business. Many were
already sick from colds and fevers. and a
general] feeling of depression prevailed.
Before leaving Carlin the only store was
exhausted of suitable supplies, and private
families kept busy baking fresh bread for
passengers. .
The night of Thursday, the 8th. closed
upon the snow bound trains at Percy, 13
miles from the place of departure thejpre-
vious evening, and 669 miles west of Omaha.
As at Carbon the store'was immediately in-
vaded, the generous proprietor disposing of
his wares at starvationrprICes; Libenlanpc
piles of elk and antelope meat were found
CFC. - .
The run from Percy to Rowlins. 40 miles,
being mainly over an embankment," was
made the some night.
On the morning of the 13th, the firstvic-
t-m to the cold and de rivatitn closed its
eyes in death. Little say La Montague
was a bright little child of ve summers, ac-
companying her mother and ounger
sister and brother to join their ther in
Montana. Wool of means forced them to
take passage in a second class car. . The
bitter cold settled upon‘ her in ihe;form of in-
flammation of the lungs. Room was prompt
ly made for her in the sleeper “Michigan."
but all the kind attentions and care availed
nothing, and she fell asleep on the morning
ofthe l3lh. A rude coffin was hastily made
and the remains placed in the ba car, .
with a view to their burial at orinne,
where friends of the family resided. _
Last, but not least in importance in'sll
this strange eventful history, we should
record the birth of two babies on the night
of Thursday, 15th, near Creslon.
With the exception of aiew ‘cases of
erysipelas, and severe throat diseases, the
passengers arrived in good health.

precious supplies struggled up to thé‘snow

been served out, the arrival was none :too

whose limited means did not allow them to
