 No attempt was made to put the stages through on mail time, extra teams were driven loose with the stage, and as far as practicable two hour drives were made with m in. terval of two hours rest, thus fifty miles a day were made but absence of water and feed very often dis arranged the schedule.

One of the unfortunate victims who slept outside of the door of the rude shed never awoke; another, with his face and head frightfully chopped and mangled, lived in great agony until the evening of the next day; while third, whose head was almost cloven in two, the brain continually oozing from the shattered skull, fingered until the sixth day, during which time his frenxied craving for water
