After the departure of Fitpat
rick, liridger and Suhlctte com
pleted their spring and summer
campaign without any material
loss in men or animals, and with
'considerable gain in beaver ckir.s
Having once more visited the Ycl
lowstone, they turned to the south
again, crossing the mountains into
Pierre's Hole, on to Snake river;
thence to Salt river; thence to
Hear river; and thence to Green
river, to rendezvous.
It was expected that Fitzpatrick
would have arrived from St. Louis
whole company started north
again, for the lilatkfoot country.
Hut on the night of the third day
out, they fell unawares into the
neighborhood of a party of Crow
Indians, whofe spies discovered
the company's horses feeding on
the dry grass of a little bottom,
nnd succeeded in driving off about
three hundred head. Here was s
dilemma to bo in, in the heart of
an enemy's country I To send
tho remaining1 horses after these,
might 1 "sending the axe after
tho helve;" besides moot of them
belonged to the free trappers, ard
could not be prefsed into the service.
The only course remaining was
to select the best men and dispatch
them on fool, to overtake and ro-
take the stolen horses. According
ly one hundred trappers were or
dered on this expedition, among
whom were Meek, Newell and An
toine Godin, a half breed and brave
fttllow, who was lo lead the party.
Following the trail of tho crows for
two hundred miles, traveling day
miu nigin, un mo wu'iu r "v mountain man doT
came up with them on a branch of I
tli iiiir horn river. J no iranners i
d a
advanced cautiously, and being on
the opposite side of the stream, on
a wooded bluff, were enabled to ap
proach close enough lo look into
their fort, and count the unsuspect
ing thieves. There were sixty of
them, fine young brave?, who be
lieved that now they had made a
start in life. Alas, for (lie vanity
of human, and especially of Crow
expectations! Even then, wbilx
they were grouped around tlitir
fires, congratulating themselves on
the sudden wealth which had de
scended upon them, as it were
from the skies, an envious fate, in
the shape ofsoveral roguish white
trappers, was laughing at them and
their hopes, from the overhanging
bluff opposite them. And by and
by, when they were wrapped in a
satisfied slumber, two of these
laughing rogue?, Robert Newell
and Antoine Godin, stole under

supplies of merchandise, in time j
for the summer rende2vous; but,
after waiting for some time in vain,
Bridger and Sublette determined
lo send out a small party to look
for him. The large suraber of men
now employed, had exhausted the
stock of goods on hand. The
camp was without blankets and
without ammunition ; knives were
not to be had ; traps were scarce ;
but wo.-se than all, the tobacco bad
given out, and alcohol was not!
In such a case as this, what could
missing Booshwav
became not only a duty, but a ne
cessity; and not only a necessity
of the physical man, but in an
equal degree a need of the moral
and spiritual man, which was rust
ing with the tedium of waiting. In
the stale of uncertainty in which
the minds of the company were in
volved, it occurred to that of Frapp
to consult a great "medicine-man"
of the Crows, one of those recruits
filchrfd from Mr. Ogdeti'a party by
whiskey the previous year.
Like all eminent professional
men, tho Crow chief required a
generous fee, of the value of a horse
or two, before he would begin to
make "medicine." This peculiar
ceremony is pretty mucti alike
among all the different tribes. It
is observed first in the making of a
medicine man, i. e., qualifying him
for his profession; and afterwards
is practiced to enable him to heal

the very walls of their fort, and ; . , r , .
mo dream dreams, or even to give vic
tory to his people. To a medicine
man was imputed great power, not
only to cure, but to kill ; and if, as
it sOLntitiuies happened, the rela
lives of a sick man suspected the
medicine-man of having caused
his death, by the exercise of evil
powers, one of them, or all of them,
pursued him to death. Therefore,
although it might lie honorable, it

Fitznatriek had a tale to tell the i Metk a"J rdv, who had escap-

had started for St. Loui-s in the
month of March previous, he had
hoped to have met the old part

Smith, and to have obtained the

expedition together ; traveling three

Bitter Root River, to look for a
party of free trappers, whec beaver"

They were absent two months and
a half, on this errand, and were
setting the horses free, drove them
across the creek.
The Indiana were awakened by
the noise of the trampling horses,
and sorang to arms. But Meek
and his fellow trappers on the bluff
fired into the fort with such effect
that the Crows were appalled.

they did not wait for the savages

1S.'2. In tlie following spring,
the Rocky Mountain Fur Company
commenced its inarch, first up
Lewis' Fork, then on to Salt River,
i thenca to Gray's River, and thence
to Bear River. They fell in with
the Noith American Fur Company,
on the latter liver, with a large lot
of goods, but no beaver. Tho
Aiiieiic iii Company's resident part
net;! were ignorant of the country,
and were greatly at a loss where to
look for the food trapping grounds.
Thse r 'utienien, Vundorburg and
Pripps, were therefore inclined to
keep an eyo on the mnvementa of
the Rocky Mountain Company,
whose leaders were acquainted
with the whole region lying along
tho mountains, from lbo head
waters of the Colorado to the north

the other hand, tho Kooky Moun
