Joe Dice on Sally, the mare, at the Half-Way barn up Brush Creek. Rex, the dog, is visible under the horse's belly. Joe, ten years old, rode past the barn on his way to school.

"The north and south bound stages meet at McCoy, shortly after the State Bridge was completed and opened to traffic. In spite of inclement weather at times, stages ran on a pretty tight schedule except during the spring breakup when roads were at their worst. At least there were no long tie-ups, as was the case with the railroads at times. The photo shows an armed guard standing beside one stage and no doubt one was necessary at times, but most...
