HIS JOURNEY PERILOUS
HOW EXPRESS RIDER CARRIED
NEWS OF INDIAN UPRISING.
Messengers Trip In What 10 Now
State Of Washington, Was One Of
the Most Spectacular and
venturesome Kind.

Probably the most spectacular and
perilous journey that was ever made
by an express rider in the inland en-
pire is recorded in the official reports
OF Gov. Isaac /. Stevens. The gov
ernor and small party Of twenty-four
were near Fort Benton, Mont, in the
autumn of 1856 after a summer of
hard work negotiating treaties with
Indian tribes between the Cascade
mountains and the Montana plains.
Said Stevens biographer:
The great tribes of the upper Col
umbia country-the Cayuses, Yakimas,
Walla Walla, Umatillas, Palouses and
all the Oregon bands down to the Dal-
les the very ones who had signed the
treaties at the Walla Walla council and
professed such friendship. had all brok.

upper country clean of whites, killing
all the settlers and miners found
there. and murdered Agent Bolon un-
der circumstances Of peculiar atrocity.
Major Haller, sent into the Yakima
country with 100 regulars and a howit-
ger, had been defeated and forced to
retreat by Kamiaken's warriors with
the loss Of third of his force and his
cannon"
This startling news the governor
must know and w. H. Pearson was
chosen to ride to Fort Benton.
Pearson rode out of the Dalles fresh
and well mounted, and riding all day
and night reached Billy McKay's ranch
on the Umatilla by daylight The
place was deserted. Lassoing fresh
mount he saw band Of hostiles rae
ing down the hills toward the valley,
and as he sprang into the saddle they
gave fierce yells and cries of Kill

rode for several miles and then took
course parallel with the regular
route.
Riding in this strategic manner.
resting few hours In secluded covert
and seeking unusual fords, Pearson
reached Lapwai and after days rest
pushed on over the Bitter Root noun
tains. A binding snowstorm beset
him; tree fell and crushed his Nez
Perce companion and the trail was
buried under several feet of new fallen
snow
Unable to travel further on horse
back Pearson improvised snowshoes,
cutting the frames with his knife and
weaving the webs with strands from
his rawhide lariat and packing his
blankets and little dried meat upon
his back he struggled over the snow

Of this desperate travel descended into
the Bitter Root valley near Fort Owen,
where rest, fresh mount and friendly
greetings awaited him. Three days
later he rode into Stevens camp on
the Teton so faint and exhausted that
Stevens men lifted him out Of the sad.
