Miners in Freight Wagons. We had a chance to observ. the result of an Indian raid as we re-crossei ( 'l 'a.Mou's J'dulT- ou our return trip. This was a lare train of freight wagons re-tui-ning from the wesl. and were 4-;,,-sj'irr the place above named. Ill fhesee ;i'.'ni!S were sealed ami well armed a large number of miners. We learned that se miners, on returning in Homeward Round. After completing our rest, we -tailed on our six hundred mile nip homeward oer the ,,;, freight road. On,' or two yoke of ovm were hitch'-d to a waiiou and the re.-!, lurnrd loo-e, and drien behind Ihe wauons, and was called the -cab" ard."

Mr. Todd tried to get the services of the writer, otter ing him s75 per month, but cir cumstances would not permit the writer to accept, although the offer was very tempting. Bull-Whacker Wilson Sick. The only one of us bull whackers to sutler during this trip was . Wilson not Woodrow Wil-on . who was tali en sick with something- like a fever nf .-ome kind. No phy sician was available and we diag nosed the disease and applied remedies as best we could. We tixed him a bed in one of the wa gons and made him as comfort able as possible under Ihe cir cumstances. Repealed efforts were made at every ranch we passed, to get .quinine for him but could get none at all. -We doctored and nursed him the best we cmihl and finally got to Al f a tier's with one sink boy and two disabled oxen in wagon?. Wilson, after reaching his home near Altafler's. was sick all the winter following, but finally re covered, of which fact we all were most heartily glad and very grateful. But we liad all gotten to our respect i e homes, not only glad to gef home, but co n grat ti I a I ed oui'sehes on escaping- Indian massacres and also upon our educational experience in freighting- "on the plains." When the writer and P.oss Al t after came to setllinir up, the former was astonished at the conduct of the latter in the mai ler. Instead nf aying- the ft'ia per month as agreed upon before starting on fhe trip. William Al tailer insisted on paying the wri ter at the rate of ."0 per nionlh. remarking as he did so, kthat. had it not been for ou, I don't know how I could have got along as well as we did." While to the casual observer. AVilliam Allaf- fer may have appeared - rough. domineering and uncouth, yet within his breast there throbbed a heart, full of much sympathy when in want and in dislress. In conclusion, the writer will say, that, in the language of "Mark Twain, "roughing it on the plains" 4rt years ago. did an emaciated and dyspeptic 21 year well equipped with t!i" be-t ami latest machinery i;.-ed in the manufacture of ail kind- of car bonated drinks.
