Vaughan, of the same State; Major
Bent, of the Union Pacific Railroad ;
Hon. W. F. Saunders, of Montana
Territory ; N. A. Baker, of the Chey
enne Leader', and quite a numer
ous body of citizens of various points
in the Territories, whose names we
did not learn, and passengers of the
B»ine train. The crest of the cliff of
rugged rocks nearly a hundred feet
higher than the level space below,was
considered just the place to plant the
flag. Upon attempting the ascent of
the rocks, quite a number succeeded
in gaining a point about half way up
the precipitous sides, when the preca
rious nature of the ascent deterred
some of the party from making
further efforts, but after considerable
persistent and cautious cliniliing.three
persons succi eded in gaining the top-
I most point of rocks, where the staff
bearing the stars and stripes, with the
names of Giant and Colfax inscribed
thereon, was securely placed. The
pleasure of filling thia particular part
on the occasion of thus doing honor
to the names of the chosen lende|’s of
the great Republican party and its
noble principles, fell to the lot of
N. A, Baker, of the Cheyenne Leafier.
