THE PONY EXPRESS.
Fearless Riders and the Dangers and
HaidshiPs They Faced.

Perhaps the most picturesque figure
on the old trail was the pony express
rider. The overland stage proved too
slow for mail and express in its fight
from the Missouri and the Pacific
True, 1t had cut down the months of
the old OK team to twenty-five days.
and still there was a clamoG that the
east and west be brought closer to-
gether and it was done. The pony
cut the time to ten days.
Those who were personally acQuainf-
ed with the famous pony express OF
those days could never forget the in
trepid rider who braved all peril. for

speedy delivery of his precious mo-
chila to the next hardy horseman.

destitute of cultivation or develop
ment, through a region wild, desOlate
and little known.
1t was in 1859 that the pony express
was established The route. briefly
stated, was due west from st. Joseph
to Fort Kearney, up the Platte to
Julesburg, thence. by Fort Laramie
and Fort Bridger, to Salt Lake City.
thence to Camp Floyd. Ruby valley.
the Humboldt. Carson City. Placer
vile and Folsom, to Sacramento and
San Francisco by boat.
The intention of the pony express
was to carry letters only and not more
than ten pounds at a trip. 1t was de-
cided that the safest and easiest mode
of carrying the mail was TO make four
pockets, one in each corner of the mo-
chila, covering made of heavy leath-
er for the saddles and generally used
by the expert Mexican and Spanish
riders. The mochila was transferred
from pony to pony and went through
from st. Joseph to San Francisco. the
pockets containing the mail being lock
ed and opened only at military posts
en- route and at Salt Lake City. These
precious letters were wrapped in oiled
silk to protect them, but even this pre-,
caution sometimes failed. Rivers had
to be crossed; horse and rider swan
together.-W. G. Jenkins in National

that the accused behaved in a very
violent and disorderly manner in Lei

quarreled with a cabman. and eventu-
