A Panic in the Milk Trade.

Horses whose daily vocation it is to
haul milk wagons, are 0 especially
noted for superintendent spirits, but the
manner in which Sloan's milk wagon
came tearing up 18th street yesterday,
was convincing proof that at Least his
horse had not altogether forgotten the
traditions Of the equine race. He had
a clear track; nobody in the street
seemed to have lost a horse with a milk
wagon attached, and though at every
jump the cans ratified like a tray of
champagne glasses in the hands Of an
old soaker, they remained in the wagon
until it arrived opposite THE LEADER
Office, and would undoubtedly have
been there yet if the vehicle had not
assisted the animal in its efforts at
destruction by very considerably up
setting, and then the cans flew in every
direction and performed aerial gyra-
tions that would secure the fortune of
a frst-class acrobat, meanwhile dis
pensing a shower of milk that descended
in a decidedly milky way for several
yards around. The moment the tactical
fluid began to flow, dogs of every breed,
and representatives of every family of
the feline race gathered at the seat of
war. The oldest inhabitan. be-
fore saw so motley a collection of these
animals, and a newly arrived Denver
lite stood stock still in amazement, af-
firming with all the solemnity of the
mildest Denver oath, that he was posi-
lively unaware that there were SO many
dogs outside of Denver. One of the
cans, coming down right end up, struck
a passing darby squarely on the head.
The natural result followed-the head
was harder than the can and the next
instant an astonished man and brother
was rushing down the street, with the
ragged edges of the hole in the can
tickling his neck, while several hundred
dogs followed him in the vain hope of
getting a taste of the copious streams
that ran down his person. The horse
flew eastward, passing North Platte
late last night.

The Snowy Range of the Big Horn.


The snowy range exhibits many enor-
nous canons. Though they are like
sinuous groves, they We're probably or
iginally sharp-edged clefts and gashes.
The elements have ground slowly from
the heights, by glacial, thermal and
serial action, a fine powder, which has
accumulated in the crevices, together
with the coarser debris hurled down
from the beetling crags. The melted
snow and the rain permeate it to a great
depth and it treacherously yields under
the tread of animals. The erosion must
have been very rapid, because immense
beds Of gravel found on both sides of
the main range and within the outer
rim OF the mountains showed evidences
of a very recent release from the moth
er rock. The pebbles, instead of being
rounded smoothly, are angular. This
characteristic is said to be a sign IN
favorable to the existence of gold in
considerable quantity, as it betokens
that the deposits are comparatively
modern. Still there are instances of
successful mining in similar places in
Montana and Nevada. The timber line
on the Big Horn Mountains is compar-
atively low. The fact is due to the de-
mutation Of the granite above an eleva-
ton of 10000 feet,a a in some other por-
tions of the Rocky Mountains. Field
spar is the principal component of the
rock. Veins of quartz, for which the
gold hunter always looks s % eagerly, are
rare, but few were seen near the sum-
mits.

A D A LINE.
A Terrible Tale of Suffering from oms-
hs Men. Who Foolishly Took
Trip Over the Sidney
Route.

Mr.. Charles Weston, of Omaha, who
arrived here on Friday last, tells a ter
rible tale Of the sufferings and priya-
tons of a party of which he was a MEM
Der, while coming out of the Black
Hills on one of the so-called stages of
the so-called Sidney route. Mr.. West
on states that the line is partially
stocked with broken down horses and
mules which, it is believed, were pur-
chased at a government sale of con-
demned animals. There are no sta
tions on the route between Red Cloud
Agency and Deadwood, a distance of
$50 miles, and the passengers were COM
PEELED to camp out on the bare prairie,
with insufficient blankets and poor pro-
visions. The horses and mules were
jaded, lame and really broken down, SO
that the party were compelled to walk
the entire distance, besides helping the
stage up hills and through sloughs,
which abound on the Sidney route.
When within thirty-ive miles of Red
Cloud the team and stage broke down,
and the passengers started to walk into
the agency. Storm, wind and mud
were against them, however, and they
gave out after'a walk of ten miles,
abandoning all hope of reaching the
Agency, falling by the wayside, where
they would certainly have persisted had
not Providence sent them relief in the
shape of a team and wagon, with Ho-
mans, also of Omaha, on board. In
consideration of a So greenback from
each man, Romans threw off a load of
freight with which he was en- route to
Deadwood, and turning around, o n
veyed the exhausted men into the
Agency.
The next day the ''stage company
loaded them into an ordinary freight
wagon and started them for Sidney, but
when within ten miles of that den of
cut-throats, their conveyance broke
down, and they were forced to walk
the rest of the way.
1t is, perhaps, unnecessary to state
that they are somewhat disguised with
the Sidney route and its s'stage line, I"
and will never travel over it again.
Some of them had valuable baggage,
which is out OF the plains somewhere,
but they are too thankful at getting
out alive to worry much about their
effects just now.
WHITMAN TREATMENT
When the party above mentioned
reached Custer City they found another
d~isconsolate lot of people who had been
beguiled into taking passage for the
Hills over the Sidney route. When
their stage reached Buffalo Gap, it was
overturned, and the passengers serious
ly injured. One lady, with a child, was
hurt SO badly that, in the crowded con-
dition Of the vehicle she could not bear
to ride, and the inhuman driver left her
lying in that Indian-infested gap
twenty-five hours before returning for
her, although she was only ten miles
from Custer.
Dare the Omaha papers praise this
pet route and stage line of theirs after
this truthful statement Of what two
parties have suffered in trying to travel
vel it? Dare those papers republish
this article or interview Judge Dudley
and those who were with him, and pub
lish their statement? We pause for a
response.
