Rider of First
Pony Express

and that he left st. Joseph seven days

Dangerous Dash Across Plains.
The Pony Express was the first
means by which mail was carried over
land to the Pacific coast. In 1869 the
Eastern outpost Of railroads was st.
Joseph. Mail destined to the Western
territories had to be sent by sailing
vessels around Cape Horn.
However. the Pony Express COM
pany was given assurances by the gov.
eminent that 1t might have the con-
tract for carrying the mail II 1t could
make faster time than the vessels took.
The company then prepared for the
Initial ride on which hung the fate of
the contract.
The best riders Of the West were
secured, and hundreds OF fast horses
were purchased. On the appointed
day, April 8, 1880, horseman set out
from San Francisco. carrying the mail
eastward. At the same time another
horseman was being ferried across the
Missouri river, bound for Seneca,
Kan, a distance Of 20 miles.
The result Of the ride is known. The
trip was completed In ten days, and
the company received the contract.
Seneca was the first stop for rider
from st. Joseph. He was relieved
there. and waited for the rider from
the West. whom he in turn relieved.
Six horses were used In riding the dis
lance. and the riders were supposed
to make the distance In eight hours.

NJ Groups gather on street corners
ia pool halls and near-beer shops to
talk about the situation. And the
cause of It all Is n controversy over
the identity of the first rider to leave
st. Joseph in the now famous Pony
Express ride.
The Pony Express is experiencing a
revival, and the historic ride Of hardy
horsemen is to be relived this fall,
when riders will set out again from
St. Joseph and San Francisco over the
old route. Towns and cities along the
way are preparing for the event. which
will be celebrated in all the states
through which the first riders passed.
When the proposal to revive the ride
was made, no one thought 1t would re-
suit In such furore. The movement
started in the West, and since then
committees have been at loggerheads

but in St. Joseph opinions differ.
While no homes have been divided
b the strife, some very heated Hits

the nrst riders are now living, as the
date Of the initial trip was April 3,
1880. Those FIRST" riders who are
backed for honors are Johnnie Fry.

This hit did more than earn
the man at the bat home run;
it made the fortune of a saioon-
keeper. The crowds left their
seats and followed the ball off the
grounds.
1t was in Cincinnati and Lange
was at the plate. He walloped
the ball down center field, clear
over a fence which was built
atop a high embankment. The
ball sailed across Western avenue
and shattered through a saloon
window. And when it was found
il was nestled behind the bar, as
though nothing had happened.
But something had happened.

gently in his hand as though
it were a homing pigeon and

he saw the base ball fans lined
up by the rail, arguing-over
their glasses-how the ball must
