IN THE DAYS OF '49.
Texan Recalls Experiences in
California Gold Rush.
Found Indians Friendly Crossing the
PIains-First Strike Was Handful
of "Dirt" Containing $500
Worth of Gold.

Fort Worth, Tex.-One Of the few
'Forty-Niners" who are still living Is
C. R. Post of this city, now ninety
years old. He crossed the Great Di-
vide to California, starting from ST.
Louis when it was town Of 5000 or
10000. He was one of party of 400
who went west in the search for gold,
most of them being Illinoisans, Posts
former home being in Sangamon coun-
ty. The party on leaving st. Louis
had 100 oxen to draw the wagons, but
Post found this method of travelling
too slow, and SO, with few compan-
ions and four oxen, he set out ahead
and beat the rest of the party to Cali
fornia by month.
Post is still vigorous and takes great
interest in business and church affairs.
In September he returned from visit
to San Francisco, where he had been
in it's early days and had seen some
of it's thrilling events.
On his visit to San Francisco Post
was able to find the site of the old
boarding house where he stayed more
than a half century ago, now part
of Plymouth square.
The journey across the great plains
was not accomplished without great
hardship. Often they ran short Of
food, and frequently here was INSULT
cient grass for the cattle. On the way
they caught up with one party that
had been reduced TO euch straits that
It's members became cannibals and ac-
tuagiv ate oala Of their number.
While modern novels and the NOV
les depict the Forty Miners as having
been attacked by Indians, their wom-
en- stolen, men scalped and killed.
Post says he found the Indians ex-
ceptionally friendly all the way across,
although their party was small
one. Even the Sioux were hospitable.
After reaching Humboldt river the
party followed the stream until 1t dis
appeared under a desert, to reappear
after stretch Of many miles. Posts
party took two days to cross the des-
ert, two of the oxen dying on the trip.
But, once across, there was the river
again, cool and refreshing, and Post
recalls how he stood on it's banks for
ten minutes contemplating it as the

most beautiful sight he had ever seen,

most beautiful sight he had ever seen,
before quenching his thirst.
Post was one of the fortunates who
found gold. He located near DOwney-
vile, and soon after beginning his
hunt he dug his spade behind rock in
a shallow stream and drew it forth
laden with pay dirt" containing 5000
worth of gold.
Later Post engaged in the lumber
trade, as San Francisco was paying
sky-high prices for building material.
He sawed trees into lumber and made
big money at it. In 1852 he left San
Francisco for st. Louis, via the 18TH
mus of Panama, and crossed the 18TH
mus along a mountain trail used for
several centuries.
While every western town and min
ing camp was largely given over to
gambling and drinking, Post says he
has never taken a drink in his life,
and that he gambled but ten cents.
This was in 1852 in San Francisco,
when he loaned man in a dance hall
that amount and lost.

professors got together recently to
discuss the reason for pretty dropping
heads and eyelids that just wouldn't

something had to be done to improve
scholarship, they decided to attack the
evil at it's base-the field of supplies.

The girls decided they had had
enough brain food. The one and only
topic of conversation at the luncheon
table as long as the luncheon lasted
was the luncheon. Pickles began dis
appearing from nearby shops and the
proprietors suddenly saw visions OF
much bloated bank accounts. The
girls went to the housekeepers and
protested.
"We're starving" they said. We've
got to have more to eat or-or'--
