their owners. In the wagon also the
agents had a gasoline stove fitted up
so that it made the interior of the
wagon warm and comfortable, and at

the canyon they encountered
several snow drifts which they crossed
successfully. Finally, however, they
ran across one that was too much for
them. Getting up onto it the wagon
