Durants Narrow Escape From Rioting Laborers on Pacific Rail
A Cheyenne correspondent reports the Pacific Railroad delay caused by unpaid laborers detaining Durant. A barricade blocked the track at Piedmont, a guard posted, and the train was forced to stop. Durant and officials were confined in a car until $12,000 could be paid by disbursing officers. A shot fired narrowly missed a female official, and soldiers were summoned but the money finally arrived, allowing the journey to resume.
