Stago coaches ,and fr6lBhtors wo met west of tho Blue river, Milch wo crossed on a high tres !bo1 brldgo, imported aomo Indian at tacks boforo arriving at Doby Town. ; Tho river was full to tho to'p of Us lankB ami flowing a ;ood head of irod Idlsh muddy water, about flvo lalloa fan hour and carrying more or less xlrtftmtaod. The rivor was a half to over ono mllo wldo In plaices with no bridg 'cb that I noticed. Eyory day's drlvo ' was an educator. There was somo game, chlody door and antolopo and a fuUl elk, liitaa yot no buffalo. Fish ing In tho river was good. Thoro woro somo ruad rancltos and stago BtHtiouB wo found woat of Doby Town. At Doby Town I mado tho acquaint unco of tho fiuttlors, Ilddoll and Brown, tho former boliig Justico of tho peace, whom I toad occasion to C consult In a Httlo trouble I had with Mr.. Bass inborn, I asked for tho gun and " ammunition promised us at this ft point l)orort loavlng Nebraska City. Mr. Dwm had Torgotton ills promlso until reminded of it by mysolf and four oth or buU-whackors and thought 1 hnd no right to ask for thorn. I told him ho could elthor furnish them or sottlo up , with mo. Ho said liu would do Jiolthcr and that I could quit, Tho othor four had quit and ho bad nettled with thorn tho sanio us ho offorod to spttlo with mo, Thoro was. a Harpers' Monthly laying on tho counter which I askod Mr. Bass to buy for mo but ho refused iiuylng that ho would find mo some thing olso to do besides rending that ' d d yankoo stuff. Whllo "Mr, BaBH -was n tho Btoro I stated tuo caso to" Mr Llddoll wlio askod Mr. Basa If thoaa .; hvjoro tho facta. IIo admitted thoy wero with tho remark that I did not want to go. I told him ho was mistaken and that If I did not go with him 1 should go with othora, Mr. Llddoll asked mo If I would contlnuo tho trip to Fourth Company post provided I received tho gun and ammunition, and I told him I iwodild. Then Mr. Llddoll told Mr IJass that ho would havo to do ono of ,two ,tiIngB, olthor furnish tho gun and ammunition or pay mo my money. Ho immediately -wired foriho kuiis and tunmunitlon mjilch arrivod on tho first coach.

Mr, Basa had made Ills boasts that ho womSd mako mo sorry for nsking for tluxt gun and ammunition boforo ho got through with mo.,, fonliapa ho did, my autobiography, which I hope to publish somo day, will toll. Aftor leaving Doby Tou&i whoro thoro woro camped somo fow soldiors, iwfo passed sovoral road ranches, among which waa tho "Midway" Ownod, I bollovo, by Ponnlaton and Allllor. It hnd beon raided by tho Sioux and burnod. A fow chickens woro running around apparently lost. We also passed tho Glllman Bros, ranch, then tho f, l Boyor ranch and store at Cbttonwtood SprlngB and Just West of this was Fort CottonUbod whoro thoro was stationed two or more com panions of soldiers under command of General MItcholl, or Major O'Brien. Hmo Charles McDonald kept a woll stocked storo and road ranch. Aftor stopping ther'o onco you wanted to stop again. Tilings woro kept nice, tho meals woro good and wholosomd. Louis Woodln kept tfio sutler's store. At this timo sovoral cltlzons woro living at or noar this post among which may bo montlonod tho Snolls, Erlcksona, Burkes and othors. It is' Bald that our commandor at this Fort' stripped tilio ioof off tho Erlckson hdimo whllo Mrs. Erlckson sick and thoir family of small children iwbro in it and could not find other shelter Hrarc men. Both Mr. McDonald and Mr. Erlckson aro yot living, halo and hdarty and highly rospoctcd by all who know them. Boforo loavlng Fort Cottonwood, later known as Fort McPhorson, our arms and ammunition woro Inspected by a U. S. offlcor and rocoiving his O. K wo woro allowed to procoed on our Journey, passing tho Frltchio and Bon Ilolllday ranch and stago station. Tho lattor was located at tho mouth of Box Eldor canyon and lator purchased by John Burko and taken in to tho Fort McPhorson rosorvation to protect hlB brldgo niVproaichoa. Mr. Burko had already built a road ranch Juat east of Moran canyon on tho Oregon trail. This was raided and burnod by tho Indians and tho family baroly escaped With their lives ).th a loping team to Fort Cotton wood. Mr. Burko'a onorgy and on torprlso was without limit. IIo first took up a plcco of land soutli of tho Platto rivor somo thrco miles wost of Box Eldor canyon. IIo cultivated this, built an irrigation ditch, taking tho aator out of tho Platto rivor. Horo ho raised good crops which brought good prJcoa from tho Immigrants, frcightors, soldiers and othors. Wo noxt find him taking contracts from tho government and tho U. P. R. R. Co., getting out logs, polos, tioa and wood, whon ho built a tram railroad in Cut canyon Wo noxt find htm building a wagon brldgo ovor tho south Platto river near Its mouth to ctosb freight and passen gers from Platto City to Fort Cotton wood. This brldgo was dnopt away by tho high wator of 18G7 and"l8G8. Ho then built a wngou brldgo across tho Platto south of McPhorson station and had tho contract Of hauling frieght from station to fort for many yoara. During this tlmo ho was handling shoo'p, cattlo and horses. Indiana raided him ofton and at one tlmo ho followed a bunch of thlovlng Indiana alono ovor 400 miles. Ho loat his life In tho Platto .nlvor dn 1872 whllo fer rying frolght across a gap of two spans whoro his brldgo fans washed out. Ho now stoops in tho lltf-lo oomot(Qity "Falrvl6w" on a part of tho old Dulrko homestead. Tho noxt Important road ranch waa tho Jack Morrow located at tho mouth of Morrow canyon on tho Oroson trail at about tho mlddlo of tho Rainbow dlko, built from tho bank of tho rivor on tho oast to tho bank of Fremont slough on tho woat, somo six miles long. Tills was dono by Morrow to forco all tennis to pass his ranch faSilch was woll, litotikod with pijvMons, clothing, guiicj nmmunlt'm md I. great supply of Road Ranch whisky It Is claimed that many llvo stock, horses, mules, niidwmttlo woro stolon from immigrants, frequently at night. Thoy would uaually como back to tho Morrow ranch and If tho partloa had money thoir losses would Boon bo ro placod, whon tho mlsBlng Btock would po:Qiaps fill a gap In tho noxt stolon bunch. I do not think Morrotol would do llbaratoly run off bunches of atock but Indians and bad white mon kopt : is : "buy" sign MU$m sign for clean, powerful, jafStfPl uniform gasoline. Makes the engine H eager, lull oUUe. .Look for the Red IMKI I m Crown s!gn. around and at tho ranch, no doubt, dfd this for Morirow's Intorcst Jack would often holp tho unfortunate. Among his cmployoa at this. timo, hunt crsY ''interpreters, traders, etc., might ftp named Turgoon, Sharp, Alloy, Glad den, Rowland and Black' Jack. Some of theso mon worked In our t!oi and wood icampa and proved to bo good mon. Ifl addition to thofio Uiero wore somo 200 Indians, principally Sioux I was offered a littlo boy, Ochachclla, ohout two years old, by his mother, for a plug of tobacco. Tho boy's full dross was o atring of beads. Sorry 1 could not tako him. ; Morrow was a good social follow, and always itUoro his big $1,000 dia mond on his shirt front no mattor how soiled tho shirt waa. Mrs. Morrow was nattier a nlco looking lady, roflned and dressed nicely. I often wondorod how ho come to marry Jack. Perhaps to ilofonn him. Not suro she succeeded. In 18G8 I got woll acquainted with, Morrow at Laramie City and Fort San ders whoro tv'o woro filling wood and tlo contracts for tho govornmont-and U. P. R. R. Co, Ono night at Laramie City before going into a 'pokor gamo ho handed mo a rou oi somo iuuu.uu jn green backs, requesting mo to kcop it for him until morning, which did. When I handoiPhim back his roll ho showed mo another of nearly equal amount' that ho had won from two vory prom-! Inont mon on a flying visit to tho city. It Is claimed that Jack broke tho bank and loaned thoso gentlemen monoy to go homo on. Jack died In Omaha somo years ago, almost penniless. Platto City, now North Platte, at thlB tlmo had a mixed population of somo 400 to BOO peoplo, contractors,1 guides, gamblers, tlo makers, bridge bulldors, etc. To soo a man hanging on a tolcgrnph polo gavo no c.iuso for alarm. He died for a cause, some times a bad ono. Tho Codar hotel standing whoro tho Front street brick ' barn formerly stood was tho Bon Ton and only hotol In tho city until tho Railroad hotol was btdlt. Tho vigilance commlttoo ran tho city, firmly and economically whon necessary. With the advont of good Father Ryan and other j good men representing other churches tho moral sldo of tho city began to im-' provo so thatittflicn tho writer roturned in Aug'L'Ht, 1809, to fill a government hay contract of 3300 tons (Mr. Mc Donald put in 1,000 tons of this) thoro was a marked Improvement and a man was safo to walk tho streets if ho carried a cc-uplo or rovolvors and could use thorn quickly. ' Wo iTOSumod our Journey westward ovor tho now woll worn Oregon trail In tho oarly part of July, 18CG, passim? tho BlBhoph ranch located whoro the Bcor ranch stood lator. Wo also passed , tho Bakor and Bauvoy ranches and Btago stations located near tho O'Fal-i Ion hluff. Tho Bakor ranch has boon1 noted for Its cleanness and good treat.1 mont. It was kdpt by Lou nnd Mrs. I Bakor, paronts of tho export shot, Johnny Bakor. It had a rocord of many florco Indian attacks. Think good Mrs. Bakor is still living. Wo next passed tha "Alkali road ranch and stage station lator known as tho homo of Mr. McGco InPio in; loavlng this city in his duipa would send out a yoll for "T. J. Foley- and1 Alkali." Our noxt important stop Wiis' at tho Fort Sodgwlek crossing of tho South Platto rivor Horo good old honoat Swn Watts was post m:istor for a tlmo. Tho pest was a llvoly one and sometimes had as many ns throo companies who woro kopt con&tafitly on tho go protecting tho stngo coaches, frolghtors, immigrants and othors from Indian attacks. Wo had already :tun Into somo small hords of buffalo. Mr. Bass, good as IlIs word, had paid mo moro or loss attention and allowed I mo but .fow lolsuro momonts. When ho 1 saw mo reading that Harpers Monthly, wlhlch tho kind atorokoopor at Doby Town had given mo, ho would go into spasms. Mr. jjoss, out or. courtesy or bolng tho nophow of his undo had iboon mado ca'ptaln of our wagon trains, his word was law and authority un quostlonod, no mattor whothor right or Avrong. It was near 5 p- m. whon oinr train, iwllilch was in tho load pulled up to tho ford at tho south' bank of tho rivor. Tho sky had bocomo dark with bluok irolllng clouds and low rumbling thunder was hoard In tho distance viv id Hashes of lightning sont thoir aheots and forks abovo and around us, all Indlclatlng tho stormVs rapid approach. Tho work cattlo tluit woro unyoked and turned ovor to tho hordors snuffed tho air and though hungry would not grazo but kept moving with tho wind ftinf a Ann fnrmArl Itaalf IntrV n dHff breeze whllo tho few cattlo'left ypkod up and hltohcd to tho load wagonjworo ifloasy and had to have thd'tphguo dropped from tho wheel yoko.and loaders chained to tho wagon wheel. By the timo all was ready largo drops of rain began to fall. Mr. Bass had mindfully ordorcd mo to tako tho point on tho off sldo of tho first team and I had thoughtfully taken off my clothing to my waist to ocord me some dr ones after my trip across tho rivor, which was bank full. Wo saw tho go ing in and getting out place. Mr, Bass was in much ovidenco and had changed his customary mulo for one of tho night hordors horses. Six bull whackers Inloro ordorod in with tho first wagon which was ono of tho heav iest wagons In the train and had the most perishable freight, sugar, coffoo, salt, beans, flour, etc. Wo coupled olght yoko of cattlo to the wagon pi loted by Mr. Bass and threo bullwhack ors on tho uppor sldo and assistant wagon master, Gre,en, mounted anu threo ballwhackors on tho lower side. Tho wator at tho going in placo nas between threo and four feet deep with a swift current. Wo came to a stop about 150 feet from tho river bank, put on four moro yoko of cattle and aftor hard work breasting against swashing waves of the irivcr and nounded by rain that was coming down In shoots, cnuBlng tho work cattle to mill wo got a goo pull and two of our chains broke, wo doumou tneso when Homo of our iwtork cattlo got down and to save ono yoke of cattlo from drowning wo 'pulled tho bow keys and dropped that yoko and chain in tho rivor. We sucoedod in getting an other pull and tho tongue camo ant of tho wagon. Tho storm was now at Its full forco and in order to Bavo the cattlo wo dropped tho hooks out of the yokes, somo fow chains wo Wrapped arrtonTI tho yokes but many woro dragged hy tho cattle. It was soon dark. Sovoral yoke of cattlo wont across tho river. Tho othorB camo back on this sldo. Tho last I saw of tho wagon tho wator was going over tho top of tho ond gato and tho wagon Btill settling In tho quick sand. Mr. Bass hnd somo rovongo on mo, hut moro In cursing his bad luck. Near ly all tho bullwhackors and somo of the night hordors fajont to tho Fort that night and had a great timo drink ing and dancing. Outsido of Mr. Bass I was tho only Bober man in our camp, and Mr. Baas kindly woke mo at 3:30 tolling mo to got on that mulo- and fetch thoso work cattlo from tho other sldo tho river. I found 4 yoko and after Boveral unsuccessful atcmpts to drown mo and himself we all amlvod at camp glad wo woro living. A short tlmo ago tho taio yokes and chain wore dug out of tho river at the Sedgwick crossing and aro now in my possossion at my offlco on Front street. Thoy woro obtained from Mr. McKlnstor, a bankor at Sedgwick. Our crossing of this river the fol Icl ,-jlng two days is told in my auto biography which I hope to publish when I havo a littlo moro sparo time. It will toll of my experience with my friend Mr. Bass and how ho returned to good old Missouri with part of tho lobo of hls-loft ear missing. Rosipoctfully, JOHN BRATT. All copyrights reserved. DR.
