tial trip to Virginia City, and not a
cent was paid in fines. AS an illus
tration of the desperate chances
Spottswood took, when he found the
Sweetwater river in flood, he swan
the stock and floated the stages and
wagons across the swollen stream,
losing two days time, but not sacri-
ficing an animal.
When Travel Was Hard
Stage coach travel during the COS
in Montana differed little from Over
land traffic. 1t was precarious, I'M
certain and dangerous. The drivers
were often drunken and reckless, the
roads over mountain grades were I'M
safe, Indians 1urked in the canyons,
and worse than the Indians were the
road agents.
Stage stations were conspicuous
for their lack of accommodations.
"Dirty Woman's Ranch" was the vu1-
carly descriptive name of one sta
ton. An anecdote that used to be
told of Colonel Wilbur F. Sanders
gives a better idea of what these eat
ing places were like than could be
gained from pages of description.
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1920-05-13

n who visit the museum of the postofhce de-
MI partment at Washington are always greatly interested in
4sA an old stage-coach that has found its way there, which has
more historic associations in connection with Montana than any
other vehicle in existence, and which should never have been al
lowed to leave this state. 1t is preserved by the postoffice de-
partment as an iteresting specimen OF the Rocky Mountain mail
coach of the old days to show to future generations the manner
in which mails were carried in the Rocky Mountains before the
first transcontinenta1 railway was completed through this state.
Among the first vehicles to carry the mails in Montana was
this old coach, which was built in 1868 by the famous Abbot
Downing company. 1t was then used once a week between Hell
ena and Bozeman, while now, by railroad, mails are carried over
the same route four times a day. The old vehicle had its ups and
downs. While in service carrying mail and passengers, it was
captured by the Nez Perces Indians in 1877, and recaptured by
General Howard.
This coach, in its day, has carried a number of remarkable
men as passengers. Among the distinguished persons who have
ridden in it in Montana are General Garfield, before he became
president; General Sherman, while on a tour of inspection in
1877, and President Arthur, while visiting Montana and the Vel
lowstone Park on a tour of recreation in 1888. While "Old Te-
cumseh" was its passenger, the coach, drawn by six horses, with
the usual relays, made the distance from Fort Ellis, near Boze-
man, to Helena, 108 miles, in eight hours, an average of IS IL
miles an hour. One of the proprietors of the line, P. B. Clark,
was on the box and drove the entire distance. 1t was a feat in
staging that has seldom been equaled.
In 1893, this old coach was taken from Montana and exhibited
at the Worlds Fair at Chicago, after which it passed into the
hands of the government and was taken to Washington.
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1920-05-13

On one of his political campaigns
Colonel Sanders stopped, hungry and
tired, at a typical mountain station,
Noticing that he did not seem to rel
ish the meal set before him, the pro-
prietor said: Colonel, amt your egg
hard enough?"
"The whole damned breakfast is
hard enough" was the prompt retort.
The comfort of passengers was a
matter of small concern compared
with the safe transportation of the
treasure carried by the earliest
coaches. The large shipments of
gold dust were the coveted spoils of
the road agents, and the holding up
of the stage became a matter of or
binary occurrence.
Thrilling Holdup Story
One of the most noted of the early
day stage robberies was that at Port
Neuf canyon, which is described by
j.. Beidler in his manuscript as fol-
lows:
cat Virginia City, about Christ
mas, 1868, two men, Kinney and Nc

line going at the earliest possible
moment.
Bob Spottswood was a noted char
acter on the Overland. In the 5O's
he was a bullwhacker IN the plains
and later became a pony express rider
and messenger on the Overland. He
was absolutely fearless and made a
big reputation as an Indian fighter.
He also was n of the few men
whom the desperadoes and road
agents along the line were afraid to
take a chance with. He vas con-
sidered as good a pistol shot as
George Slade, and he killed a num-
Der of bad men.
SpottswoOd Makes Good
Montana pioneers who were in
Virginia City in 1854 will remember
the excitement caused by Spots
woods race against time to get the
mail line into Montana into opera
ton on schedule time. When he re-
ceived orders from Holiday to equip
the new line it looked like a hopeless
task, but he did not take time to even
think over the difficulties. Taking
the first stage from Latham, Colo
