TO MAKE IT UNANIMOUS

Dickinson Press: 1t is frankly adj
mitted by the Minot Optic that Sena-
tor Hansbrough is gaining strengthen
Ward county, which, in view of the
fact that Editor Mcclure has heen
fighting u senior senator for months,
is quite unexpected to say the least.
The Optic agues that Bowbells, Ken
mare and other small towns in Ward
county cannot afford to oppose the re-
election of Senator Hansbrough, and if
this is true it is more than likely that
the Minot people will take the same
ground before long, just to make the
thing unanimous up there. 4

INCIDENTS OF WESTERN HISTORY.
An Early Venture Across Nebraska.

The narrative from which we offer
extracts below can be considered history
or fiction, according to the taste of the
reader. The incidents described did not
happen to the persons named at the
times and places mentioned, but they
might have done so had they been there.
They are typical of plains travel in the
early day. The enthusiastic apprecia.

Williams himselD is pleasing to the in
habitants of a hundred years later
Our quotations are made from book
called "The Lost Trappers," written in
lS44-45 by David H. Coyner, a Virginian
then living in western Missouri, and
published in Cincinnati in 1847. Some
recent writers treat it as reliable work,
while others are quite severe with the
author. He, however, disarms criti-
cism in manner, stating plainly in his
introduction that the book is his own
work, his authorities being his Missouri
neighbors and certain "musty, mutt
lated, badly written and very defect
i've" documents. He claims to have
had access to journal kept by Captain
Williams, who is the hero of his largely
fictitious tale.
Ezekiel Williams, an early settler in
Cooper county, Missouri (the county in
which Boonville is located, about half
way across the state) is a historical
character and very respectable
figure of the pioneer period. He went
up the river in the employ of one of the
fur companies in 1909; came down two
years later and went out the Arkansas
with party of fur trappers, where
they had trouble with the Arapahos
and the last mention the writer has seen
of him tells of another mountain
journey in 1914.
Coyner in his book represents "Cap-
tain" Williams as having been employed
by the government to escort Lewis and
Clark's famous Mandan chief back to
his people. These captains did bring
a chief of the Mandans down with
them in 1906, and the authorities did
have trouble in getting him back
through the country of the Sioux. But
this was not accomplished until 1909,
and then it was Pierre Chouteau who,
with 1876 men, took him up, for con.
sideration of $1,000. A facsimile of
part Of the contract is given in Captain
Chittenden's late work on the fur trade.
Now for the story. Bearing the
above facts in mind, one can still enjoy
it as probably an account of very
early journey over the later Oregon
Trail, from the Topeka ford of the Kan
sas to the Platte above Grand Island.

cut off. He always urged upon Captain
Williams the great Importance Of con-
stant vigilance day and night, the
strictest attention to the position of
their encampments, and the situation Of
their horses. The captain learned from
him that the Indian, although generally
inclined to surprise, assault, and kill,
was not given to rash and careless ad-
venture and that he would never at.
tack party that were prepared and on
the alert
"About twenty-five miles was the
distance they travelled each day. When
night approached, they selected a po-
sition to camp where wood, water and
grass were convenient. Large fires for
the first eight or ten nights were
kindled up, around which they gathered
and roasted their fat venison, and ate,
and laughed, and talked, and passed
their rough jokes, until they sunk into
the embraces of sleep. This unguarded
and careless way of encamping, how
ever, was abandoned when they entered
the region of country infested with
savage and hostile bands of Indians,
against whose assaults they founo it
necessary to guard at all times. For
the first two hundred miles, game was
not very abundant, although they
killed enough to supply them with pro-
visions. About the twelfth day, the
prairies seemed to enlarge and approach
nearer the river. Timber was not 80
abundant. The face of the country i'm.
proved and was much more interesting,
and the soil was evidently richer as
they travelled westward.
"On the evening of the twelfth day,
the party were encamped in the edge Of
a beautiful prairie about two hundred
and forty miles from st. Louis, having
crossed the Gasconade, the Usage, and
several afflueuts to the Missouri. Two
very fine deer were killed by some of
the company near the encampment, the
blood and entrails of which attracted
band OF hungry, saucy wolves near the
company There were not less than
twenty, of different sizes and color and
some of the smaller kind, that were
crowded out of the feast, kept up
plaintive whine and howl. The dogs
belonging to the company began to
bark very fiercely, and rushed out after
IL
of timber but as soon as they were out
of sight of the company, the wolves
turned upon their pursuers and chased
them back within short distance of
the camp. One of the dogs, the most
resolute of the pack, in bold attempt
to stand his ground, was seized by as
many as could get at him, and was torn
to pieces almost instantly. That even

liams, man of great perseverance,
patience, and much unflinching deter
mination of character. His men, being
citizens of Missouri, which was, at that
early day, an almost unbroken wilder
ness, were all accustomed to the pri-
vations and hardships of frontier life,
and like most frontier men, fond Of ad-
ventures and daring enterprises we'll
skilled in the use Of the rifle, and en-
tertaining strong partiality for those
hazards and exploits that are peculiar to
frontier and savage life.
"The outfit of each man was rifle,
together with as much powder and lead
as it was supposed would last for two
years. Each one took six traps, which
were packed upon an extra horse with
which each man was furnished. Pistols,
avis, axes, knives, camp kettles, blank
cts, and various other essential little ar
ticles, also made part of the equi-
page. Captain Williams provided him
self with an assortment of light porta-
BILE little notions, intended as presents
for the Indians. To the expedition be-
longed also four dogs, (great favorites
of their masters,) one of which was
very superior greyhound, that was
taken along by his owner to catch deer
on the plains.
"On the 25th of April the party were
on their way, exhibiting all the glee,
and excitement, and laughter, of men
enjoying the wild freedom of frontier
life, and expecting to pass through
scenes of adventure and danger that
would fully test their patience and
courage, and perhaps be marked by the
effusion of blood. At that season of the
year, there was sufficiency of grass for
their horses, and as for themselves. it
was their purpose to depend on their
rifles for provisions. AS it was the
purpose of Captain Williams to reach
Fort Mandan as early in the trapping
season as practicable, the party aban-
doned the meanderings of the Missouri,
and launched forth into those seas of
prairie on the south side of said river,
with no other guide than that very i'm
perfect knowledge which was then had
of the country. The expedition of
Lewis and Clark was confined to the
Missouri, as they went up and came
down. The party headed by Captain
Williams was the first overland expe.
dition ever undertaken to and across
the Rocky Mountains, from the United
States. Some of the party had been up
the Missouri river some distance, trad.
ing with the Indians for furs, but none
of the company had any knowledge of
the country through which they had to
pass, from personal observation. The
difficulties, therefore, which they hao to
encounter, were very numerous and
