DEADWooD STAGE SMASHED.
Two Smart Aleck Government Clerks

Washington, April 3.-Uncle Sans
cherished relic, the last and only re-.
naming "Deadwood Stage" is a mere
heap of kindling wood and scrap iron,
While two government employees, Will
liam O'Brien and Hamilton Conncrs,
the cause Of the catastrophe, are out
on bail pending arraignment on
charges of disorderly conduct.
Although but little known, and while
it held no place in official guide books,
the old coach was one Of the most in
teresting sights around Washington
and was highly priced by the officials
at the museum. 1t was brought to
Washington several months ago from
the Charleston exposition, where it
was one Of the most interesting of the
government exhibition. Thousands
saw 1t at Chicago and at Buffalo. Since
its return to the capitol it has reposed
In more or less security in a huge re-
cess on the eastern portico of the post
office building pending its removal to
the National museum at an early date.
Shortly after midnight the two, young
men, in rare good humor and at peace
with. the world, Hspied the vehicle: "A
closer inspection pleased them greatly.

and ~squeaky. Before they realized, it,
d RAPID slde movement plunged it down
the great steps and to- It's ruin, the
roysterers underneath it. They were
unhurt, but the vehicle was in a heap.
hi old coach was built in 1868, and is
said to be the first ever:to have carried
the United States mails in Montana,
running on a route between Helena
and Bozeman. This trip took one week,
while now the railroads do it four
times in one day.
In 1877 the stage was captured by
the Nez Perez Indians under Chief Jo-
seph, and recaptured after a long CAM
palgn by General Howard. Among
those who are known to have used it
In actual transportation are President
Garfield, President Arthur, who made
a trip in it in 1884, and General Sher-
man while on a tour Of inspection in
1877, from Fort Alice to Helena, Mont.
On this occasion General Sherman
made the phenomenal record of los
miles In eight hours.
