C. Cor , the author of a history of Wyoming and the pioneer days of the west, has learned the true. story of Whisky Gap to be somewhat different from the fountain of youth. fable. According to historical record of the early days along. the govern‘ment overland trail, Whisky Gap. re‘ceived its mame in. 1862 during the building of the overland stage route from Denver to Salt Lake City and the Pacific coast. — The people of Denver had long been working to secure the regular overland stage route, then connecting the east and the west. In 1862 Ben Holliday, a Veteran stage man, became proprietor of the great overland line, and he agreed upon a route running through Denver to the west. He decided to discontinue that part of the road running up the North Platte and the Sweetwater rivers and across South Pass, Wy. The many Indian difficulties experienced on this route were the inducements to abandon it. The new trail led by way of Julesburg, Colo., to Denver, and on over the established wagon road to Fort Lupton, and north across Laramie plains; then due west through Bridge Pass, Wy., joining the old trail leading across the country to the Pacific coast. The change was made during the summer of 1862. All the ‘rolling stock, horses and other property of the company were gathered at the station just above Devil's Gate, in central Wyoming. Company A of the Dleventh Ohio cavalry, with Major O’Farrell in command, was the detailed escort at at the time. During the first day the long line of coaches, wagons, “horses and mules made 11 miles from the station where the property tad been gathered, The route chosen was directly south from the Sweetwater river. The camp selected was in a gap in the mountains where there were a fine spring and plenty of wood for cooking purposes. Shortly “after going into camp the major discovered that quite a number of his soldiers were intoxicated, and he at once sent for Lieutenant W. H. Brown, who was officer of the day, and informed him of the condition of many of the men and gave it as his opinion that some one was selling whisky in the camp. The command was doing escort duty not only for stage stock and stores, but also for a number of emigrants who had availed themselves of the opportunity for safe conduct over the plains, Lieutenant Brown received orders to search all wagons, and if he should discover whisky to destroy it. Taking commenced. the search for the contraband article and found at last a barrel of whisky in an emigrant wagon. The officer ordered his men to roll the: barrel out of the wagon, knock in the head and empty the contents on the ground. This was done, but it chanced that the spot where the whisky was emptied was just above the spring, and the fiery liquid went pouring down into tthe water supply of the camp. The soldiers saw what was going on, and they rushed forward with cups, canteens, buckets and camp kettles to save what they could of the coveted “spirits.” Many a man stooped over the spring and drank almost without breathing until he was drunk. getting a full canteen from the spring paid his respects to Major O’Farrell at the headquarters tent, assuring his commanding officer, with maudlin mien and many a “hic,” that that was the finest spring he had ever seen and the very best water. he had ever tasted. Major O’Farrell was apprehending au attack from the Indians that night, and the condition of his men fairly disheartened him. He saw at a glace could make @ successful raid on his camp, consequently the sober and less intoxicated men were kept on the alert ail night. Fortunately, no Indians put in an appearance, and by morning the debauched men had slept off their intoxication._ . Thus the gap in the mountairis where the camp was made received the name of Whisky Gap. For many years it was the favorite camping place for the more credulous of the old freighters and emigrants of the “trail days,” but the little spring was never a “fountain of youth” as it had been in the old days, when “firewater” gushed up out of the rocks to quench the thirst of a company of United States soldiers.—Philadelphia Inquirer.

A justice of the peace in one of the west end boroughs issued a warrant for the arrest of a west énd woman for slander. Squire S. J. White happened to be present at the hearing. The prosecutor testified that the defendant had called her an ‘told virago” and that she had: added, “1 don’t know what that means, but whatever it is that’s what you are.” The witness admitted that she did not know what the meaning of the word was, either, but she knew it had no good meaning or the other wouldn’t have made use of it. -“No matter what it-means,” said the squire, who Is an intensely : patriotic ‘American, “it's a foreign name, and she had no business ealling you. it, PU fine her for it.’’ “Squire,” whispered Squire White iu his car, “you havé no jurisdiction ia slander suits. They must be entered in court.” “Well, F' hold her for: court, then,” the squire declared. _“But there’s no law under which FOR can do that,” he was told. “Well, I'll hold her anyhow,” he replied, ‘“‘and test the SORE ONATEY, of the act.” “But there Squire White. “Get out of this office!” commanded the squire, turning on him. ‘Do you think I’m going to allow you to come in here and learn me the law?’ “You uns go, too,” he said, turning to the women, “You’re both released on your own rec-ogg-ni-zance untj! this court finds out what the darnation to do with this case.”—Pitishurg News.
