Upon reaching that place, however, I found a sorry condition of affairs, as the Indians had made a raid on the station the morning of my adventure with them, and after killing the stock-tender had driven off all the horses, so that I was unable to get a remount.

There was nothing to do but drive his tired pony twelve miles further to Ploutz Station, where he got a fresh horse, briefly reported what he had observed, and completed his run without mishap. On another occasion it became mysteriously rumored that a certain Pony Express pouch would carry a large sum of currency.
I told the people at Ploutz' what had happened at Sweetwater Bridge, and went on and finished the trip without any further adventure. About the middle of September the Indians became very troublesome on the line of the stage-road along the Sweetwater.
