Young lady.
Mrs. j. p. beaverton had a narrow es-
cape from drowning while crossing Pow
der river on her way to Fort Leaven-
worth. The river vas running high and
the stages could not cross. Mail and
passengers were ierried over IN a small
boat. On the day Mrs. beaverton reached
the river there we're a number of persons
to cross, aud the stream was unusually
high. They got into the boat, however,
with perfect confidence IN the ability OF
the pilot TO land them safely on the OPP
posite shore, but when in nlidstream his
grin on the rope by which he was pulling
the boat across gave way, and the whole
layout was hurried down stream by the
terrific rush of waters. Fortunately for
those in the boat a number Of mounted
soldiers, who were accompanying the pay
master FROM Mckinney back to the rail
road, were close at hand and came to the
rescue OF the uuiOrtunatcs. flushing to
a shallow place IN the river, they rode in

A ROUGH EXPERIENCES
BAD Weather Drives IN the Laramie
and Gold HIN Road Makers.
Haramie Boomernnr.I


Seventeen men of Jake Fairs gang,
who left Laramie last Friday to open the
road across the range TO Gold Hill, ar
rived in this city today. They quit work
yesterday alter having worked four and a
half days and completing eight miles OF
the road. When they quit work they
we're within fourteen miles of the Gold
Hill camp.
The reason work was quit was because
the men became sick and snowblind and
were unable to continue work. james
Miller. who was one of the experienced
men of the party, said this afternoon
that there would be no trouble at all
about putting the road through, provided
they could get men who would stay with
them and stick to the work. They struck
bad weather up there, and it was a new
experience to a majority of the men who
e out to tackle the work. Some OF
them were not properly clad, and they
could not stand it.
Mr.. Miller says the present trip has
cost 1900, and that while the road can be
put through all right it will take more
than 5000. as originally calculated.
While the result of this undertaking
will be Disappointing to many it is not
entirely d~iscouraqing. The read will un
undoubtedly be IL through The men
should be selected for the work and the
start made under more favorable circum.
stances. IL will be seen that the men 10
this work Averaged two miles of road per
day. At this rate another week would
land them in the heart of tie Gold Hill
