EtRsf Siuse for Denver.

On the 18th of May, 1850, Denver
turned out to welcome the first through
coach OF what was destined to grow
into the Overland Mail" an enterprise
which for sheer American pluck and
daring must be forever inked with the
fame Of the pony express"
Red shirts drlfted to the outskirts of
the hamlet and dotted the hills around.
Hard-faced bartenders made ready for
the hottest night that ever tore the
camp loose" The artillery OF holster
and saddle-boot was numbered for an
ecstatic fusllade. There WAS lively bet
ting in dust and nuggets that he first
through stage had been gathered i'll by
Indians, with takers as eager to stake
their faith that the scalps Of h driver
and guard would come through intact.
At length q swirl Of dust showed far
down the trail. 1t grew into q yellow
cloud that crept toward the eager ham
let. Then six mules stretched out on
the gallop emerged from this curtain,
and behind them was the numbering,
swaying stage, come safely through on
time. and Denvsr was in touch with
the world where men wore white shirts
and lived in real houses. The cheers
that roared q welcome to this heroic en-
terprlse were echoed in every Western
town which hoped and longed for a
link Of It's own with the home country
