ANGELES, Dec.

11. The death of Mr. Henry Inman at Topeka, and of Capt. John P. Ireland at 6an Bernardino, within the last month has started a reminiscent mood the oldtime plainsmen throughout the west concerning ih glor ous days of, or freighting with ox' teams along the Utah and Fe trails, when railroads were unknown west of the Missouri river, and when the plains swarmed with buffaloes and Indians.

No one knew the life of freighters better than Mr. Inman and Captain Ireland. The Utah trail was called also the Great Salt Lake trail and became well known because the Mormons chose that route -to tine inland sea in their migration from Nauvoo. 111., under the lead of Brigham Young in 1S4S and 1S47. The "route had, however, been traversed several years previous by the expeditions under Fremont.

Rockies and Sierras to the Eldorado In the west. "the years 1S49 and 1SC5 some white people went over the Utah or Great Salt Lake trail to California, be-lds millions of pounJs of provisions and merchandise from the east.

Sioux City Journal.) i An interesting t-tory of the wonder- ful change that is coming over the Black Hills mining country by reascn of the recent investigations thai have been made by Colorado capitalists, whose interest was first al'ti acted by the $79,000 carload of dirt shipped from Dead wood to Denver by Otto Grantz, Was told yesterday by Fred T. vans, of Deadwood, who is in Sioux City, jumping, pawing bulls and oxen. In a second each man, heedless of horns and kicks, waa yoking the beast he had had his eye on for certain wojk of hauling in the wagon train. Many a man has been gored or squeezed to! death among a lot of vicious cattla Injthe corral at yoking time, The force of men for eaich train consisted of wagon master and assistant, a teamster 'lor each wagon, a herder and two or three extranen. The average distance travelled was from twelve to fifteen miles -a day with, a load, and twenty miles empty wagons.

Horses were first used then mules, but oxen proved to be the cheapest teams. They did good daily wjrk, gathered their own living at nightj aind if properly driven would travel miles in a season. The were largely Mexican or of some mixed race. They were paid $1 a day and man had to take his turn standing guard at night and watching the cattle, which were never left withoet two herders. The men were divided into messes of six or eight, one man doing the cooking, while the others bought water and fuel, or stood uard.

On the road the teamster walked beside team, carrying a whip jwith' a laii twenty long, with which! he could cut through the hide of a stubborn ox, or clip the head of a rattlesnake; at ten paces. The cracking of the whip was like the report of a gun, the crossing of a bad ravine oritne entrance to a town was accompanied by a popping of whips that sounded like the fire of a skirmish line. The ambition of everjy true bull-fhacker waa some day to be a wagon master of a freight train. The wagon master was the boss of everything in the train. His employers gave him full control of the train and its freight.

He gave orders with an imperial will, and when he shot and killed a man who was wilful or refused to 4ccept his authority there was no one jto call him to account. Many times a wagon master was entrusted with the transportation of $20,000, even $50,000 worth of freight over 2,000 miles of trail through a hostile Indian country, where no whites had passed for weeks aai where no law was known. The wagon master kept close watch over the men on the wagons. He knew what i bullwhackers knew how to work the on, and what bullwhackers were lazy. jHe examined the wagons several times a riav: he had loads shifted from weak to strong wagons; he knew where1 water could be had and where each jeamp was to be made: he reckoned how long food would last and what spots in the long route would be the most likely ones for attacks by savagt-s.

this service he got $125 a monthJ Another man next in authority to the agon master was the herder, vvho soirvtKim.es acted as deputy wagun master, in the day time the herder rested in a. wagon under the canvas top. The moment camp was reached his work -began. He bossed the men about feeding the oxen, getting tne mess of flapjacks, coffee and bacon, and occasionally some ielk. bear or buffalo meat.

Then while men slept he kept watch of. the ckmp, lest the oxen might stampede in fright or some Indians draw near. When daylight came he called: "Roll but, roll out. roll out" to the men. Then when he had eaten Jiis morning flapjacks and drunk his coffee he would go to bed in the wagon.

Large volumes might be filled with stores concerting the days of freighting along the Utah and Santa Fe trails. Near Wagon Mound. N. there is a boulder surrounded by eieven white crosses.

If the trip to New Mexico waa nxctue in rood time and the Ireight return was not heavy the ox train started im-nieuiately back for the Missouri river. Thus a round trip was generally made in one season grass hy the freight- ers.

-It is the boast of rainy oid-time bullwhackers that they maue a round trip from the Missouri river to Santa Fe in 110 or 120 days. relenting by ox teams became so important an institution on the plains by lfc52 that two companies with capital of about $10,000 eacn, made ihe transportation of freights from the east over tlhe plains and across the mountains to California and New Mexico a reguiarly organized enterprise. Alexander Majors, who is known ail over the west as the prince of plains freighters, began freighting in 1848 on the Santa Fe trail with six wagons. James Fuller 'began a year with twenty oxen and two wagons, on the Utah trail. In 1855 the firm of Russell, Majors Waddell was formed at St.

Joseph, and by 161 the firm employed in its freight transportation to New Mexico alone 5,000 men, 2.3U0 wagons, nearly 500 horses, 13,000 oxen and 5,000 mules. The capital invested at that time was upward of $1,800,000, and the profits of t'he business were enormous. The United States paid $2.0,009 to Russell, Majors WadJell in for freighting to army cam-ps and even more during the days of the civil war. The company formed by James Fuller for transportation of xnerohan ise, army sunpiies and hides over the U.ah trail did a smaller business, because the transportation, faci.itles by the isthmus of Panama formed a great competing factor in the California freight business. Nevertheless the Fuller company employed oxen, wagons, horses and mules.

Chat represented a value of $700,000 in 1859. 'All the reminiscent veterans of the plains love to dwell nowadays on the wonders of the freight outfits of the early sixties, when the transportation business 'for them was at its he.ght. An ox-team freight train consisted of twenty-five wagons. Several tia.ns used to move together, making a stream of ox teams and wagons more than half a mile long, consisting of 500 ox teame, 120 wagons and about 130 men. The earlier wagons were large and carried from fifty to sixty Ihunired pounds of freight, but later still heav- ier Wagons, with oval white canvas or loose cloth called prairie scnoon-ers, came Into use; each wagon being loaded with from three to three and one-half The goods were protected with two or three shee-ts of dueling.

Some wagons had peep hoi 3 in the sides from which the freighters looked out rle in hand, when a band of savages was menacing the train. Each wagon" required six yoke of oxen for motive power, and twenty or thirty head of extra oxen always accompanied the' train to supply the Tiace of those that were lost or crippled. "The custom of trailing a wagon 'came into use in later years. In camping the -wagoTis were arranged in a Circle side by side, with the tongues outward and a log chain extended from, the hind wlheel of one wagon to the fore wheel of the next one, thus making a solid pen. 1 The yoking up of the cattle and the starting of a freight train across the plains was a trying period in every bullwhacker's experience.

There are hundreds of thrilling stories still cur- rent on the plains of experiences in. the first yokings up. Several hundred tough, bellowing and often vicious steers, bought from the ranges, weie driven Into an oval-shaped corral made by a lot of prairie-schooner wagons close together. Two or three dozen bulVwhackeTS or ox teamsters stood at the narrow opening to the corral, each with an ox yoke across his shoulders.

Inman recently said that the Santa Fe trail was an elongated graveyard from Independence, to Albuquerque, N. M. The Santa Fe trail when first established by the government under the lead of Kit Carson and Jim, Bridger, of New Mexico, in 1344, lay entirely through the Indian countrv. Until 1854 the western line of Missouri was the eastern boundary of the Indian territory. That year Kansas territory was organized, but there were Indians along the route as long as it was used.

Until the late fifties there was no white man's habitation from Westport, now Kansas City, to the Spanish pueblos in New Mexico. Indians were plentiful. On the first part of the trail, that is, from Independence to the Arkansas, there was little danger from savages. This part of the territory was peopled by the Shawnee, Pottawatomie, Kansas and Indians, who not only did not molest the traders, but drove back the fiercer western tribes, rendering that pari of the road safe From the Big Bend to the crossing of the Arkansas was the most dangerous part of the road. This region was frequented by all the fierce plains tribes.

North of the Arkansas were the hunting grounds of the Cheyennes and the Arapahoes, the handsomest, bravest and noblest of all the plains tribes. They fought their enemies with an unrelenting vigor that was their religion. They had good lodges, were well fed and clothed, and had large herds of ponies. Their hunting ground was a vast park on which ranged countless buffaloes, elk, deer, antelopes, and smaller game. They never attacked the whites until years of wrongs drove them to do so.

North of the Big Horn were the Pawnees and Sioux, both warlike tribes, who frequented the Santa Fe trail. South of the Arkansas were the treacherous Kiowas. In the later days Santanta made the upper Arkansas valley the scene of his operations. From their homes in, the Wichita mountains the warlike Comanches often reached the trail further west, and still further west were the murderous Apaches. Overland trains by both the Utah and "Santa Fe trails started from the Missouri river points for the west April and May of each year.

The mat-' ter of grass for ox teams along the routes was the matter of chiefest consideration for the plains freighters, and when there were assurances that the lest snow of the season had fal'en. and that there was fodder along the way, the bullwhackers started on their long and dangerous journeys. From Fort Leavenworth to Sacramento the Journey usually consumed lens 01 tnouainas or men an many-long trains of ox teams trave.sed the Utah trail, as far as the Rockies, until the building of the Union and Centra!

Francisco said that his father had come to Spain from America and married a ir pan.sh la ly of high rank. Francisco was an only Eon and had married one of the Spanish la'dies of nobility.

Francisco himself stated that he hid heart disease and was liable to di at any time. He stated that he had hO.OOO pounds sterling in a Spanish 'bank' and asked Mr. Hulse to take his daughter and the money. Mr. Hulse replied and very shortly received letters from the daughter herself and a Spanish priest, who was acting as the friend of Francisco, who was not allowed to send letters from the jail.

The daughter sent her own and her picture. Mr. Hu se plainly stated that he did not know of any his relatives having married Spaniard, but expressed a willingness to take care of the daughter and the mnwy, if desired. Finally he received a lot ter that Francisco had died. 'He was asked to oome at onoe to.
