 Mir. C"x drives f,air, py,.iripg 'h9fsss, attached h a large Snitf.dmker wagon. in which are hanlrdsf prvgis- ions. blankets and rnking utensils. whils following comes an old stsg~ coach of ..siar route" fame, driven by the cook of the army. The gen. tlemen of. the party ride horses, ~x- cept Mir. CrSbb, who. when he bought his fiery s,ecd from COW. .punchrr at Flagstaff. did not notice thnt i,I bad am ulcerwted sore back; now hr wakes and rides in the wagon alter palely. lra.ling his bronco
 While driving down n sleep hill near the Hance trail. Mr. Cox and Prof. Swarizrl had .. very narrow escape from death. The brakes on the wagnn broke and the horses dashed down ,he hill at terrific rate of speed. colliding with Prof. Swarzel s horse and throwing him and his horse under the wheels of the wagon and thereby bringing the wag-l on h stop. Clyde Horning's beau- tiful horse also got frightened by the runaway wagnn. and In pIunging and Jumping tn it's efforts .to run away. fell and hurt itself severely. Except for n few bruises and scratches. no one was hurt.
 Henry Laughlin had quite an ad. venture also. Last sunday, iu conl- pany with Win KM.berie. he started down ihs Hancs trail, and on reach \ ing the river decided to wash his trousers. After stripping. ha waded into the water and the trousers. He had iinis,ed washing and WAS in the act of wringing the trousers. whsn he was startled by noise upon tue bank nf the river. aud turning. saw Nr. K~berle with his kodak ap- preaching. Thinking that he was about to l,s photographed ' la nude. he dropped his newly lanndrrsd tiuu- sers into the rushing tOrrs'It and ran for dear life.
 He.ry started for ramp in his un- dercl"thing, but had nut gone far when his horse brcams sick. Uuder these embarrassing circumstances Ls decided tn camp on ths trail until his companion coul,i reach camp and pro cure fresh horse. On arriving at the camp Mir. KoeberIa found that the horses had stsmprded. so nothing could bs done but to await daylight. q It was then dark. 80 all hands turned In. cons0ling themselves with the knowledge that Mir. Laugblin had saddls-blsnket for . mattress and . rubber coat for . covering. and ex- pecting to go to his relief early next morning.
 Mr. LaughIin, finding hIs mattress co bard, decided to oncs more make an effort to reach camp. Saddling his jsded Nsvsjo pony he again start. d up the trail. dragging bis pony after him. until he finally reached camp at mIdnight. minus bis canvas trousers. and very much tired out
 All the members of the party arc well. and expect tn soon start for the Moqui snake dance. .--Will KosDsrls 1
