It also marks the Anniversary of the discovery of gold in the West, ano the golo rush which followeo. A HUNOREO YEARS AGO COURAGEOUS MEN ANO WOMEN, LUREO BY THE PROSPECT OF FORTUNES IN THE FAR West, were moving across the continent in cov- ered WAGONS ANO BY HORSEBACK, TRAVELING OVER MOUNTAINS ANO TRAC LFS« P• A |NS ,8RAV ING DANGERS from Indians and starvation. Let us imagine that our »1+9ers were in the PLACES OF THOSE BRAVE PIONEERS;— — Dawn was just cracking ano Chuck Fulton SHIFTED HIS TRUSTY 12-GAUQE TO HIS OTHER KNEE. He hearo the moving of people as the CAMP BROKE into life. Soon they woulo be on their way to FAME ANO FORTUNE, FOR THE GOLD WAS THEIRS FOR claiming. They were sure to fino the riches, FOR THE FABULOUS GEOR6E MlNFORO, THE BEST SCOUT in the West, was their guide. WAS ONE OF THE FEW FRIENOLY they decioeo to camp ano have their noon meal. The outstanding feature of the village was an EXTRA TALL TEPEE. IN FRONT OF THE TENT SAT — Chief Dick Quinnet.wrappeo in the folds of his BUFFALO ROBE.ANO LAZILY STRUMMING ON HIS BANJO, TO THE TONES OF REO WlNG. The buffalo meat hao given the »I+9ers added ZEAL TO MOVE ONWARO. On AND ON THEY PUSHEO, NOT NOTICING THE BLAZING SUN OR THE PARCHED earth. They were only thinking of-------Gold 11! ± | Towaro evening the two trusty FORWARD SCOUTS, Gordon Greene and Leon Meisinger came gallop- ing UP WITH THE NEWS THAT THEY HAO SIGHTEO A Fort where they coulo camp for the night with- out FEAR OF ANY ATTACKS. AS THEY APP RO ACHED THE FORT NEAR OUSK, A Captain of the Uniteo States Army,Gene Haswell z ROOE OUT TO MEET THEM. HE WAS ACCOMPANIED BY his Lieutenants George Matney and Kenneth Gawehn . As THEY PASSEO THROUGH THE GATE, THEY SAW TWO SOLO I E RS ON THE LOOKOUT POST, LEE APPLE- GATE ANO IRVAN MYERS,BEING RELIEVEO BY RONALO ' The smell of hot coffee rose welcomely in the crisp morning air. The sizzle of bacon, SO CRISP AND DELICIOUS ON THE OPEN FIRE, WAS A THOUGHT PLEASING TO THE MINOS OF ANY SETTLER OF '1+9, MOVING TO CONQUEROR THE GREAT MlOOLE West . Come and get it, yelleo the cook I He was A PLEASINGLY PLUMP MAN OF GOOD NATURE AND AL- WAYS AFFORDEO A WEARY COWPUNCHER A LAUGH. Merle Meisinger was a friend to the whole part After eating heartily, the pioneers began SAOOLING THEIR PINTOS ANO PREPARING THEIR wagons for the long rIoe aheao of them. Lelano Meisinger was having trouble with his Straw- berry Roan so Richard Means held the bridle WHILE HE TIGHTENED THE SAOOLE CINCH.
