tea and a bite or two for supper, tbut
loaf of light bread. for pie and cake
in our family. we travelled on up the
river mile or two that same evening
and made camp. Father Stone did not
show up or reach our camp that night.
and apparently went back to the bridge
on the road he had come; crossed the
river there again that night and, turn
ing west up the river toward the cross
ing, found his way into Hunts wagon
company's camp, with young girl by
his hand 8 to II years of age, making
inquiries there as to the location of
our camp, to which he belonged. He
left this camp Immediately after dark,
without being further noticed by any of
its members, the girl with him. This
was the last seen of Father Stone alive,
for when Captain Edward Martin,
after missing him next morning. re-
turned in quest TO the crossing, re-
crossed the river to Hunts camp and.
hearing the last they knew of him. he
turned east on our back track and in
few miles found some of the remains
of both the bodies and clothing, upon
which the Platte wolves had Toasted
the night before. The name of the
young girl / have not as yet been able
to learn.
;
As a short but very interesting pre-
face, 1 shall copy a paragraph or two
from Captain John A. Hunts well-kept
and accurate journal as to this impor-
tant incident. He says:
Sunday, Oct. Eve broke camp and
started at 1880 a. m; passed Captain
Martins hand-cart company just as
they were ready to start from, Deer
creek. After having stopped, for din
ner. many of them pulled their carts
alongside of our wagons, and it was
enough to draw forth ones sympathy
for them, seeing the aged men, women
and children drawing the cars, and so
many with haggard countenances.
I'VE passed the fort bridge, Platte
bridge, about IL noon. Camped at p.
M. at the fording place on the Platte
river: distance Travelled today, fifteen

THE LAKE HERALD SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 1907

PEELED to stop for days or a week at a
time.
One more incident, which resulted in
the tragic and terrible death of two
of our company, and then 1 proceed
ON the journey.
Tragic Death of Father Stone and a
Young Girl.
AS I was leaving the soldiers quar-
tiers with the load of provisions on my
back. l esDied Father Jonathan Stone

in one of the log cabins. He was sit
ting by the side of a fire ION the floor
the cook handing him bread and meat,
which he was devouring with relish.
l went and called to him and begged
and entreated of him TO come on, tell
ing him the time, and that it was get
ting late in the day; that ] could see
our comp any mile or two off prepar-
ing to cross the river, and that the
storm clouds were getting quite low.
Sister Wilson, just previously men,
toned, was with me, and added her en-
treaties for him to come on with us to
camp, but all the response we were
able to obtain was his promise that he
would be along soon. 1t was now be-
haste to catch our\company before they
commenced to cross the river, but the
foEr-mule team had crossed, filed with
the aged and children. Leaving my
load of provisions in charge of Sister
Wilson on the north side of the river, |
rolled up my trousers and waded that
cold river, six or eight rods wide, Slip
ping betimes off the smooth stones and
boulders into deeper water. Reaching
the other Side, found my elder broth
er too weak and timid to undertake the
crossing, but soon getting into the rope
harness on the lead of the cart, with
brother in the shafts and an elder sis
ter wading waist deep in several places,
but keeping by my side, l made the
crossing again without accident.
After all had crossed the river we
camped an hour or so close by the
river. and after tin cup or two of hot

That corresponds with the Oregon
road distance from Deer creek to this
the old Oregon crossing.
Captain Hodgetts wagon company
had just forded when we arrived, and
the (Martin's) hand-cart company
crossed directly afterward."
They remained here this evening, and
next day he says:
Monday, Oct. 20-The ground was
covered with snow and prevented us
moving. Our cattle were driven into
the corral this afternoon, but some ten
or twelve were missing. 1t commenced
showing again at 3 p. M, and contin-
ued for some time.
Tuesday, Oct. 21-Snow about eight
inches deep. and completely stopped
us from travelling. The missing cattle
were all found, they having crossed the
river and got with Captain Martins lot.
"Wednesday. Oct. give are fording
the river at 1 D. m, and camped one
mile further on.
Thursday, Oct. 23-Very cold, frosty
weather: camp still detained by snow
and cattle dying"
1 now leave Hunts company for a
few days and resume our Martins
hand-cart narrative.
When the writer forded the crossing
of the North Platte twice, late in the
afternoon OF the 18th. he had to dodge
in his wadings large cakes of mush-
snow and ice-not a presage, but proof

many and the running of the health of

gratitude, but the carrying over of all

tying my pack and his examining the
merchandise for barter, he directed me
to a row of buffalo robe Indian tepees
ten or fifteen in number, that l found
tenanted with squawmen and their
Sioux and Indian wives. in nearly
every tepee l found a meat-drying fire
or an iron Charter Oak stove, and on
racks. sticks and strings, were sus-
pended cakes of jerked buffalo meat
drying and being partially cooked for
the winters preservation. After show
ing the squaws my stock of dresses,
etc, they became instant buyers, pay
ing me with a liberal hand, cake after

er's instructions, l purchased a half
pound or more of black pepper, sew
eral ounces of cayenne pepper, some
tea, sugar soda, etc, and lastly, after
starting for my company, (Which, aft
er having rested for noon, was travel
ing as fast as it could on the other side
of the Tiver), passing the soldiers
cooks cabin, I paid 81 for four or
five-pound loaf of light bread, warm
from the stove pan.
Others that l had come with to the
fort that day bartered and purchased
similarly, and as an instance of the
prices of provisions there, / saw Mrs.
Betsey Wilson, the wife of James Will
son of Levan and Juab for the last
forty years, pay the sutler a $3.50 gold
piece for ten pounds of flour, and 30
cents per pound for square crackers.
The results and success of my barter

to tighten up their extra luggage bags

by discarding and burning every arti-
Gle of wearing apparel that could be

best and warm coats, cloaks, etc, for
the coming cold weather, and the wis
