The central space of Broad Street near Wall is roped off and within the enclosure men shout and clamor and gesticulate with uplifted hands of Mute sign language, conveying intelligence to each other and to principals in nearby second, third or fourth floor offices. The advent of the ox team caused a complete suspension of business, with calls of "Speech!" "Speech!" which were briefly responded to, followed by a cheer, and instantly up went hands and the din became greater than ever as Dave and Dandy jostled the crowd in rounding up to the old sub treasury building and the Washington Statue.

Jim
Divided Back unused

Description:
This faithful dog has been with the expedition from the start. Jim has had more adventures than any other dog living; run over by a trolley car, then again by a heavily loaded truck where the other dog was killed that he was fighting and he nearly so; then hooked over the fence by an irrate cow and again by Dave thrown over a sage brush; then again kicked into the air by a vicious horse and then again tackled by a wolf and finally lost in New York City for three days. Yet ever ready to stand guard over the wagon, never willing to ride while the team is in motion; Jim is indeed a great dog.
