Black Hills stage lines as advertised
are fraud. They are not. allowed to
run from Cheyenne except when accom-
panied by large party on account of
the recent Indian murders on that line.
They do not run from Fort Pierre only
when an hundred or more accumulate,
and the lumber wagons are so crowded
that men are forced to walk most Of the
way. Trains leave Bismarck every few
days and persons accompanying pay
from five to seven cents per ID. for their

without difficulty at from $18 to $25
