gan the erection Of a fort"
Awe Struck at Story
Thomas James was with this band.
Golfer too him Inc several of the other
trappers over the ground. where he had
made his famous race for life against the
Blackfeet and James comments on the
visit as follows: LAS we passed over
the ground where Golfer ran his race
and listened to his story, an indefinable
fear crept over all. We felt awe-struck
by the nameless and numerous dangers
that evidently beset us on every side.
Even Cheeks courage sun and his here
tofore b~uoyant and cheerful spirit was
depressed at hearing Of the perils of the
place. He spoke despairingly and his
mind was uneasy, restless and fearful.
I am afraid. said he, II 1 acknowl-
edge it. l never felt fear before, but o
1 feel it, A melancholy that seemed like
a presentment of his own fate, possessed
him, and to us he was serious almost to
sadness. until he met his death a few
days afterward from the same Black
feet from whom Golfer escaped"
James continues: Golfer was now
again in the same country, counting the
same dangers which he had so often
braved, and that seemed to have for him

there are thousands of such, can only
live in constant state of action. Perils
and dangers are their natural element
and their familiarity with them and in
difference to their fate are we'll Illus
trated in these adventures of Golfer"
Golfer Quits Country
The band of trappers at Menard's Fort
on the Three Forks knew that they were
in dangerous territory. Cheek was killed
a few days after Golfer had related the
story of his race. At the same time
Golfer had another narrow escape, but
gained the fort safely. Throwing his
hat on the ground, Golfer said: IF God
will only forgive me this time INC let
me off l Will leave this country day
after tomorrow and be ID If l ever
come into it again"
Golfer kept his promise. In company
with two other men he started for the
Big Horn. They were attacked by the
Blackfeet but escaped. They travelled
at night, lying concealed in the day time
and finally reached the Big Horn and
Manuelis Fort in safety.
Golfer had sensed the inevitable. Life
as Golfer lived it, meant death. Reason
ing thus, he left, and hurried down
the Missouri to st. Louis by canoe,
making the trip in thirty days and arriv-
ing at the end of this record voyage in
May 1870" This is the end of the career
of heroic John Golfer in the far west.

the secretary Of war, resolved to give the
lobby a old shower bath. He therefore
offered to bet 5000 900 that he could put
on a mail line from Sacramento 70 st.
Joseph that should make the distance
-1,950 miles-in 10 days. The bet
was taken. nj the 18th of April fixed
upon as the day Of starting.
Buys 800 Heat
"Mr. Russell called upon his partner
and general manager of business upon
the plains, A. B. Miller. and stated what
he had lone and asked If he could per-
form the feat. Miller replied, Yes sirl
l will do it, n do it by pony express!
To accomplish this Mr.. Miller purchased
800 of the fleetest horses he could find
in the west, and employed 1875 men.
Eighty Of these men were post riders.
These he selected with reference to their
light weight and their known daring and
courage. 1t was very essential that the
horses should be loaded as lightly as pos
sible. 1t was necessary that some por-
ions of the route should be run at the
rate OF 20 miles an hour, The horses
were stationed from 10 to 20 miles apart,
and each rider would be required to ride
60 miles. For the change Of animals
and shifting Of mails two minutes were
allowed. Where there were no stage sta
tions at proper distances, tents sufficient
to hold one man and two horses were
provided. Indians would frequently give
chase, but their cayuse ponies made but
sorry show in their stern chase after Mil
ler's tho%roughbreds, many Of which could
make = single mile in one minute and
fifty seconds.

der Ruffian, Millers private horse, with
Billy Baker in the saddle, bounded away
toward the foot hills of the Sierra Ne
vadas. and made his run in 40 minutes.
The SHOWS were deep in the mountains
and one rider was lost for several days
In a 10Y storm. After the Salt Lake
valley was reached, additional speed be-
came necessary TO reach st. Joseph on
time. From here all went we'll until the

4 RRIVING at the Three Forks, Golfer
II and Potts established themselves and
- started trapping for beaver. They
chose the Jefferson river, the most west
ern Of the Three Forks. They would
silently paddle up the stream after sun
down and set their traps. In the morn
ing they would visit the traps, remove
the catch n return to their camp be-
fore daybreak. During the day they
would lie concealed SO not to be discov-
cred by the Blackfeet. Early one morn
ing they heard a great noise approach
ing. Golfer WAS for instant flight. Potts
ridiculed him-accusing him of being a
coward. n stating that the noise was
caused by buffaloes. Shortly afterward a
band of about eight hundred Blackfeet
warriors appeared and beckoned them to
come ashore. Golfer craftily slipped the
beaver traps over the side of the canoe
when he first sighted the Indians and
allowed them to sink to the bottom n
rest on the gravel in shallow water.
"As retreat was now impossible
writes one historian, Golfer turned the
head of his canoe to the shore, and, at
the moment of its touching, an Indian
seized the rife belonging to Potts. but
Golfer Immediately retook it and handed
1t to Potts, who remained in the canoe.
and, on receiving it. pushed off into the

when an arrow was shot at him and he
cried out: Golfer, / am woundedl' Col
ter demonstrated with him on the folly
Of attempting to escape, and urged him
to come ashore.
Instead Of complying, he instantly
leveled his rifle at an Indian, and shot
him dead on the spot. This conduct
may appear to have been an act of mad
ness; but 1t was doubtless the effect of
sudden and sound reasoning, for, If taken
alive he must have expected to be tor
tured to death, according to their GUS
tom. He was instantly pierced with ar
rows SO numerous that to use the Ian
guage of Golfer, ne was made q riddle
Of He was hacked to pieces and his
heart, lungs and entrails were thrown
into Golfers face.
THE Indians now seized Golfer, stripped

FTHE story of the first pony express has
been repeatedly told by recent writ
4 ers, but l have never seen published
an authentic account of 1t given by one
who witnessed the end Of that wonderful
race half way across the continent.
Through the courtesy of Mrs. Conrad
Erickson, the granddaughter of the late
Mai. E.. G. Brooke, l am temporarily in
possession of a Morgantown, w. ", paper
dated Oct. "a, 1885, containing a letter
from the Major on this very important
subject together with Montana items. /
have thought it best to reproduce that
portion relating to the pony express. 1t
was copied from the st. Joseph, Mo,
News. of April, 1860, and headed;
winning a 5000, 900 bet-the GREATEST
trial of speed INC endurance on record.
I'm 1859 st. Joseph was the western
terminus of the railroad communication.
