The swiftly speeding weeks OF that

brought many changes to the hard

saddle, failed to prevent continued In

and the toiling wagons Of the freight
ers vanished from the trails. Reports
of outrages were continuous, and 1t
became more and more evident that
the various tribes were at length
united in a desperate effort TO matt
the white advance. War parties broke
through the wide-strung lines OF

leaving behind death and destruction.
