George F. Cowan’s experiences were so peculiar that one is puzzled
to know whether he was the most lucky or unlucky of men. A train of
incidents followed his suffering in the Park. Near Fort Ellis the
neck yoke broke, and the Cowan party was thrown out of the carriage.
At Bozeman, when Mr. Arnold was dressing Cowan’s wounds in the hotel
room, the bedstead gave way and down went the injured man.
