so the party just kept on going. The
Indians which they ran into in the
Gallatin were Blacheet, who had been
hostile to trappers since the earliest
trading post was established at the
Lisa's men in 1908. Numerous trading
posts established there in later years
were failures for the same reason and
scores of trappers had been chased out
by the Indians, and many killed.
On Alder creek, near where Virginia
City now stands, the party encountered
with both pronounced these friendly,
so they thought their troubles were
over. They camped that night near
Lone butte and the next day headed
across the divide in the direction of
Fort Hall, Idaho, where Carson thought
he could organize party of trappers
big enough to come back and trap in
the Gallatin country that winter In
dams or no Indians.
While they were going through
Beaver canyon in the Beaverhead
country they were attacked by about
so Bannock Indians and killed two of
them. The Indians killed two of
Bridger'S horses and wounded Carson
with an arrow. Drannan credits their
escape from this band of Indians to
binding and furious rain and wind
storm which came upon them suddenly.
During the thickest of it the white
men got away. That was their last en-
counter with Indians on their way
to Fort Hall.
When they arrived at Fort Hall, three
days later, they found only about 20
trappers at the post and none of those
willing to venture into the Gallatin
country because Of the presence there
of hostile Blackfeet. And they said that
when the Blackfeet were not there, the
Crows were, and that they were hostile
too.
After remaining at Fort Hall for two
weeks, Carson, Bridger and Drannan
left for Green river, Wyo, to trap for
the winter. Beckwith left the party and
went with another trapper to the Snake
river, where, they reported afterwards,
they met with good success. Carson,
Bridger and Drannan had poor luck
in Wyoming. They reached Bent,s fort
again the next June and disposed Of
their furs. Carson declared that win,
ter's trapping, which he had expected
to be the most successful Of his career,
was the poorest season he had ever
had. He said that he would trap no
more and went from there to Taos,
where he had sheep ranch and where
he spent his last days.

Fort Benton. There, according to Dram

the route which they should follow to
reach their objective. He relates that
they met a distinctly unfriendly re-

fact that they were strangers in the
country and the desire Of the fur COM

trading over it were anxious to keep out
opposition in the form of independent
traders. At any rate they remained
in Fort Benton only two days before
