How Stoddard's Mule Broke Up Ferry
man Daggett's business.
Many years ago down in Idaho, during
gold excitement, good many men went into
the country to make money outside the gold
hunting industry. Their idea was to make
the other fellows delve for the gold while
they appropriated it afterward. Rollin Dag
gett, afterward Nevada's congressman, es-
tablished fcrryhoat on small creek and
named the place deaths Ford, at the same
time inyenting musty legend to the effect
that it was thus named because so many
lives had been lost in the attempt to cross it,
The stream was not over dozen yards wide
and the water nowhere over two feet deep,
but he rugged up flatboat and pulled it back
and forth by a rope contrivance Whenever
the prospectors crossed he RECALLED them with
horrible tales of the treachery of the stream
and the remorseless duicksandS which had
drawn so many men and mules to terrible
deaths
In the night when he ferried people over he
would caution them not to get too near the
edge of the boat, as a fall .overbolJd was cer-
tain death. By letting the dim aid lantern
go out and making slow time he frequently
impressed the passengers with the idea that
the stream was half mile wide For night
trips he charged 50. but if the wind was high
and the weather bad he struck sangtline pros
pectors for much larger sums. In the day
time 81 was his modest charge.
He went along in this way for several
months, the men who rushed to the hills look.
ing upon him as benefactor TO his race by
this conquering OF 50 formidable an obstacle
to travel as Deaths Ford One day Charlie
Stoddard, the promoter appeared on the
bank with mule and boarded the hatboat
to cross. In the midst of the stream, Just
when the ferTymun was telling how danger
Gus the place was, the mule grew restive and
fell overheard One leg caught ON a rope
and he got his head under water, and. unable
to eXtricate himself, was drowned When he
was cut loose he lay there in the middle Of

all who came along saw what miserabl,
sham the ferry was, and that any four-footet
animal could walk across Daggett tried t

boiled shirts slippers, half dozen pairs of
stockings, collars and any amount of bric-a-

shirts and collars superfluous for we didn't
have many balls and receptions, and we gave
the shirts to the niggers or to the surgeons
for bandages, or to the cooks for dishcloths
Then we began to fire away our hric-a- brac;
then we shed our extra stockings. and finally
