THE PASSING OF THE ~ENIGRANTs.
In 1914 a party of twenty-three emigrants
passed through on their way to California.
In this party were the Murphy family,
afterwards well-knoWn in California, and
Moses Schallenberger, who settled in San
Jose. This was the first party to bring
wagons across the State, but the first wag-
ons brought into the State We're those of
the Bidwell party.
Somewhere near LOvelocks the party met
an Indian who said his name was Truckee
and who offered to guide the party to Cali
fornia. Truckee guided the party from the
Humboldt over TO the river which was
named by the emigrants the Truckee, and
up that river through the Glendale mead
ows and up the Truckee Canyon to the
} lake that bears a name suggestive of traa-
edv. Bonner Lake. Here three members of
the party, Montgomery, Foster and Schal-
: lenberger determined to build a cabin and
remain until Spring, because their cattle
Il were to weak to 90 farther. The dov the
cabin was COMPLETED a heavy fall of snow

lenberger was seized with cramps and could
