CHAPTER w.
CAP. sTUART'S TRIP.

CAP. STUART TRif.
Early in the spring of 1868 party Or
ganized at Bannack City, to prospect the
Yellowstone and Big Horn countries.
There names were S. T. Hauser,, George
Ives, E. Bostwick, d. Underwood, G. D.
Watkins, JAS Haxhurst, J. n. York, John
Vanderbilt, H. Z. Geery, Fl. A. Bell, Geo.
Smith, William Roach, A. S. Blake, J.
McGaherty and James Stuart, the latter
being elected captain. On their way to
the Yellowstone they found light pros
poets on little fork of Alder creek.
They did not stop to thoroughly prospect
this place, but intended to do so on their
return. They reached their second camp
on the Yellowstone without remarkable
incident. Here the Crows came into
camp and were very impudent, and but
for the bravery and diplomacy shown by
the captain, who covered the chief with
his rife at the critical point and forced
him to withdraw his warriors, there
would have been fight, in which the
whites would have been worsted, they
havinl ID position and great odds in
number against them. The party went
on down the river, and when they ar
rived at the mouth Of the Big Horn layed
over for several days. Here they laid
out town, to which was given the name
of Big Horn City.
On their way up this river and when
Just below the mouth of the Little Horn,
they saw on the opposite side of the river
three whites, and tried to get them to
stop. They would not, but turning into
the hills went off at full speed. Some Of
the party gave chase, but could not over
take them. The three were Bozeman,
Jacobs and nine-year-old daughter of
the latter, who were prospecting for a
wagon road from Fort Laramie to the
Montana settlements, and they thought
Stuart's party were Indians.
The party saw plenty Of Indian signs
the next day, but as the Crows had been
lodging them during all of their trip they
took no extra precautions at their night
camp, which they made on Big Horn
river about fifteen miles above the mouth
of the Little Horn. The night was very
dark and though the guards, Zone Of
whom was Capt. Stuart heard noises,
they saw nothing. just after midnight
Capt. Stuart heard a rustling in the brush
and the click Of guns being cooked. He
sang out, 'Lie low" Then came volley
which did fearful execution, seven men
being hit. No more rifle shots we're fired
but the whiz of arrows could be heard
during all Of the night. At daylight the
Indians drew off and the party in sum-
ming up casualties, found one man &C..
D. Watkins) dying, E. Bostwick mortally
wounded and near death, H. Bell shot in
two places and badly; S. 7. Hauser, D.
Underwood, Geo. Ives and H. E. Geery
slightly wounded; with five horses killed
and others wounded by arrows. At
about eight O'Clock iu the morning Wat
kins died, and Bostwick, who was suffer-
ing greatly told the party to give him a
pistol and leave him. They gave him
one and he instantly shot himself. Each
of the party haa solemnly agreed to do
this If mortally wounded, SO that the

and then across the country to the yell
lowstone, and they lay in camp on
Shields river for two months and were
not bothered by Indians till the last of
November, when a party of Blackfeet
tried to get away with their horses. The
Indians succeeded in capturing eight
head, but had two of their warriors killed
in the act. Not wishing to be cleaned
up entirely, the party packed up and
went to the Platte via. Wind river and
disbanded.
In 1855 Sir George Gore, an English
nobleman, fitted out party at st. LOUIS
and hiring Jim Bridger for guide came to
the Platte, where he hunted all OF this
fall and winter. The next spring and
summer he spent on Powder river and
made his headquarters at the Portuguese
fort which was built in 1925. In the fall
he went over to Tongue river and finding
a good camp and plenty OF buffalo, went
into winter quarters. His party is cred
tied with killing 1000 buffalo during the
fall and winter, nine tenths of which
must have necessarily rotted where they
were killed. The report of this slaughter
occasioned much talk in Congress, but
nothing was done. In the spring Sir
George went up Rosebud and traded
with the Crows, and hunted in the Wolf
mountains and surrounding country till
fall, when he built fiat boats and floated
his entire outfit down the river to Fort
Berthold where he wintered, next spring
going to st. Louis.
In 1859 Gen. Reynolds was given the
charge of a government exploring expe-
dition and Lieut.. Maynadier was appoint
ed second in command, with Jim Bridger
the irrepressible as guide. They were
to explore the heads of the Yellowstone,
Snake and Green rivers, and the country
between the Big Horn and Rocky Noun
tain ranges. At the mouth of Sweetwater
the command divided. Gen. Reynolds
with part went up the Sweetwater to the
head and crossed the divide to Green
river. They went up this stream and
tried to cross the range to the head Of
the Yellowstone. Up one fork they
found impossible walls of basalt, and in
another that they tried the snow was too
deep, so backing out they came around
by Mullan pass, and to the forks of the
Missouri, where they were met by May
nader, who with his party had struck
across the country and came to Wind
river just at the forks, then across the
Owl Creek mountains to Owl creek, and
down this to the mouth and then down
Wind river to Gray Bull. He then turn
ed up this stream and followed it to the
mountains, and then across to Sinking
Water, where, his horses being poor and
played out, he left nearly all Of his
wagons. Then on across the Yellowstone
to the Missouri, which river he followed
up to the forks, there meeting Gen. Rey-
nolds.
After rest they again separated, Gen.
Reynolds going down the river in boats
and Lieut.. Maynadier taking small
number Of mep, went up the Gallatin and
across to the Yellowstone on the same
trail that Clarke had used so many years
before. Here he built boats and went
down the river, with no adventures
worth recording.

An Appetite and . Memory.

The late Alexander Il, Stephens was a
astronomical mystery. He could pack
away an unconscionable amount of food.
OF course, he never went to the dining
hall of the National Hotel, where he had
made his Washington home for over
thirty years, and when his frugal meal"
was sent up it was enough to stagger the
stoutest heart. Three or four kinds Of
meat, all the vegetables, entrees and des-
serts, and coffee and wine. But the old
gentleman went through this outlay like
cyclone, and came up to the attack reg
ularly three times day. on schedule
time. He would generally wind up the
evening with game of whist with his
cid cronies, and he was bad man to fool
with in this industry.
Anotherphenomenal trait was his men,
ory of names and faces. He probably
knew every man, woman and dog in
Georgia, from their birth up, and was
familiar with every incident in their
lives. One evening young man from
Georgia was ushered into the room Of
Mr.. Stephens. No card had come in ad-
vance. so the old gentleman could not
possibly have been forewarned and fore
armed. The visitor entered modestly,
saying he was from Georgia, and merely
wanted to call and pay his respects. Mr..
Stephens held out his bony hand, scru-
tinized his caller closely for several min
utes, and tnen, calling him by name, said
he was delighted to see him. The young
man was amazed, and said that his only
introduction to Mr.. Stephens had been
twelve years before, and was only CAS-
ual meeting Without replying to this
the old gentleman went on kindly
enough to inquire about his family, and
appeared thoroughly acquainted with his
surroundings. This was in remote part
of Georgia where Mr.. Stephens had sell
dom been.
A gentleman identified with the North
ern Pacific Railroad company interests
said, that the decision of the Secretary Of
the Interior regarding the first indemnity
belt land grant of that company is very
favorable to them. 1T withdraws," he
said, "the whole belt from entry by set
tiers, and reserved it for the road to
select such lands as they want to make
up for such portions of their own lands
in the original grant which were previ-
ously occupied by settlers and squatters.
In other words the fine lands withdrawn
from sale to outsiders by the. secretary
are reserved to idemnify the Northern
Pacific railroad from any losses Of their
grant by reason of previous settlement.
This will give them some million acres
more land"

Utilizing Things.

The most hideous form in which the
utiitarian spirit of modern Egypt has
shown itself, in making merchandise or
its once honored dead, has been i'm selling
them to merchant vessels r.. so much per
ton ~ manure for foreign fields. Prob;-
bly, this vile trade has now become illegal,
but till very recently long strings nf
camels were employed to carry human
bone. dust from the tombs near Memphis
to vessels in the harbor of Alexandria.
Large quantities of these human remains
were brought from the ancient sepulchrcs
and catacombs which honey. comb the
rocky ridge near Alexandria itself, and
cargo.boats were openly employed in
fetching this so.called brown "guano."
Various foreigners visited the spot while
this was going on, and saw human bones,
glass tear bottles, ard earthen ware lamps
all shoveled up together with the brown
dust, which was carried up the ships
sides In baskets, thrown into the hold,
and then conveyed to England, there to
be sold at :s6 los. per ton, price which
would give the manufacturers of manure
a very large profit, on mixing it with the
guano Of Peru. So vain have proved
the most successful efforts ever made by
human beings to immortalize mortal
bodies. After all, it is in the irreverence
of selling this precious dust to enrich
foreign fields that the stain lies. We
felt no great shock when we learned that
the very same thing had been done in
London, when not very many years ago
1t was decided that tho vast cemetery at
the back of the National Gallery (where.
in, only two centuries ago, all the victims
Of the great plague were cast wholesale)
cluding many bones still undecayed,
should be spread over Kensington Gar.
