In the old days Of the overland trail
and Mormonism a government freight
train which had reached Fort Bridgel
and unloaded and was about to depart
again met with disaster. As the mules
were being driven in a thunderstorm
broke and stampeded the herd. A par
" Of US were out looking for them
when we came to pass about 200 feet
wide. Suddenly the mules came down
as If running for their lives, and on
the back Of one, riding man fashion
and holding her ride in her right hand
and elinging with her left to a neck
strap made from the skirt Of her dress,
was q young woman Mary johnson.
We drew aside TO let the herd pass,
and but for her exclamation as she few

shouted. And we turned our heads up
the trail just as a body Of horsemen
came into view.
a quarter Of mile in the rear Of us
the pass narrowed suddenly to twenty
feet, and we fell back without delay
and dismounted. The other party had
halted at sight Of US instead Of charg-
ing, and before they advanced we were
pretty well fixed to hold the pass.
There were a score Of smnted trees
growing on the rocky sides, and these
were uprooted and thrown down. ana
every rock which could be moved was
tumbled Into the pass. In ten minutes
we had it blocked The girl came UP
from our rear just as one Of the Dan
ties advanced with Tag Of truce.
She gave dis her story ia a few brief
words and then crouched down behind
the breastwork to help Us defend it.
The messenger claimed her as his law

speech at first, but after finding that
we would not give the woman up he

The next move Of the enemy was an
attempt to stampede their horses over
us and to follow at their heels and take
advantage Of our bewilderment. we
presently suspected what they were un
to and gathered a quantity Of dry
leaves and brush. To brighten their
horses and give them a rush they fired
their guns and uttered dreadful yells.
AT the first alarm we set the leaves
ablaze, and as the horses saw the wPiJ

our bullets into them as fast as possible

not counted on any one being killed OF
wounded or losing his pony. The red
skins at once drew out Of the fight, and
there was nothing for the DANTE party
to do but haul of. One white man had
been killed and three wounded. Two
Indians had been killed and four
wounded. These figures / got from an
Indian q year later

we had left the pass, secured our mules

we knew the name of the young wom-

She had made fair progress on her
way through the pass, but ais she was
on foot and her pursuers were on horse
back they rapidly overhauled her. She
had come upon our fugitive mules as
they were feeding, and as they had
had their run she had no difficulty in
