After leavins Hoodoo's the party
started toward Spokane Falls, and we
next hear Of them spending the night
at Schaffer's ranch, about seven miles
from Medicine Lake, according to Mrs.
Barbara A. Schafer's story, they ar
rive ed during the first days Of February
probably making the trip from Hoo
docs in one day. Mrs. Schaffer de-
scribes the vehicle as an old one, but
is not certain as to whether it was q
spring wagon or not. She says how
ever, it was second hand and narrow
track, and covered with new canvas.
The horses she describes as one bay
and one brown cayuse. One of the
party told her they came from Kansas
City California and then here, and
was going to Spokan Falls, but said
nothing of the girls father, The next
morning they started for the Falls, re-
turning to Schatfers in the evening,

moderate. During their stay of nearly
