There was a new malady broke out
among our people along in the months
OF January and February IT. spread 30
fast that it became epidemic. After con-
sulting many wise and learned men they
pronounced il Montana fever, and the
only place to find relief was TO find Mon
tana and take the cure. But when they
arrived on Montana soil they found it
infested with a malady ten times greater
than the one they had just left. This
epidemic gave them wounded and broken
hearts, tear-stained eyes, with misery
untold. They strolled the hills and val
leys 20 get relief. They watched the
capers Of the coyotes and the wonderful
constructions Of the little prairie mound
builders, but TO no effect. Mr.. Nimrod,
Of their party, leveled on a sage hen and
brought her to the ground, and they had
bountiful feast, but this only brought
more pain and tears 10 their poor
wounded hearts. So they, like the Israel
ties Of old, looked with faithful eye for
the fiery serpent on the top Of West
Virginia hill, which was the only relief.
So they packed their trans and away they
came until they got in sight OF the West
Virginia mount, when the burden OF
disease rolled away and they came re-
joicing on native soil. But their maIadies
were 80 great that they will feel the
effects Of them for years to come.
