BILL ARP'S TALK.
The Cherokee Philosopher Visits Old
8 " Scenes.

The Georgia railroad. The old
reliable. The first railroad I ever
saw. How fondly memory goes
back to my amazement and awe
and childish fear en- for the first
time l saw the huge leviathan come
steaming down the track breathing
fire and smoke and making the
earth tremble with it's noise. For
ty-six years have.passed, and / am
on this venerable road again,
steaming away to, Carolina. Ru-
minating thoughts come free and
unbidden, and as we pass Coving-
ton I am reminded Of the time
when my good wife and seven chill
drcn, with one at the breast, were
flying from the fowl invader--seek-
ing a refuge somewhere outside Of
Sherman's raid. The nurse, good
faithful family servant, was walk
ing out with our youngest child, a
little black eyed brunette, and the
raiders came Gathering down the
road aud stopped her, and one Of
the vandals said: Put down that
child. What you carrying that
child for? Don't you know that
you are free! u~..-..-,..,..~....,. ....
The nurse was amazed and in
dignant: What you want me to

loped on.
Unprotected and almost un-
known, my wife and children hid

lsge, and having no transporta-
tion did not know how they would
escape from the next brutal hero
that came along. But about mid
night they were aroused with

camp and had a battery and some
icawalry and zinfantry,sand we just
dared the foul.invader to come: o.ul

our guns went Off and walked Up
the legion in terror and alarmed

George Burnett tand Tom Aver
were at the bottom Of that devel-
ment, and / remember how few
days after, half a dozen yankee
cavalry were seen down the rode
galoping furiously along in their
blue clothes about sun down, and
another alarm was beat and our
battery was ordered to charge
down to Quinn's ferry and andawe
charged and planted our guns up
on the banks and waited for the
fowl invader to come. But he
didn't come, and we soon found
out that the yankee horse-men
were Jeff johnson and Bill ARD
and a few more Of their sort hun
ting mischief. I remember that
the legion had 800 fighting men and
1900 quartermasters and commits
saries who were instructed to scour
the country in search of forage and
vittles, and they secured. Eugene
Harris and Oliver Stillwell were in.

came into camp one day hunting
for some lost hogs, George Burnett
told him he hadn't seen 'em, and
didn't know anything about en-;
but all he did know was that Still
we'll, and Harris, and me, had had
spare ribs and back kbone, and fresh
pork to eat every day for three
days. '.
So we were reported to Colonel
Yeizer, and like to have been court
martialed; and old man Lewis be-
lieved as long as he lived that we
stole his hogs.
Well, it was a glorious kind Of
war that we engaged in then--a
splendid war, and reminds me Of
the scene when the big Texas ran
ger rode up to squad OF home
guards, and, drawing big shoot

lar faces, for friend in need from
Madison had heard OF their perils
on the wings Of the wind, and sent
q carriage and wagon after them,
and SO they were hurried on with
bag and baggage and about sum

A friend in need is a friend indeed.
A thousand times have I thought
of that act Of disinterested kind
ness, and wondered at it, for it was
a perilous thing to do in perilous
times when the foul invader was
only too happy to capture good
stock, and horse or a mule was
worth nearly his weight in confed-
crate money. That one deed Of
kindness stamped Eugene Harris
as q noble, large hearted man and
a friend in deed. [ shall always

two miles ont in the country, and
when the yankees rode up and
wanted water the good old mother,
who was alone, came TO the door
and saluted them, and said Ger
tainly, gentlemen, YOU shall have
water. Do you think there is any
danger Of the yankees coming this
way? They laugcd and told her
they were yankees, aud she quiet
" remarked: We'll, you seem to
act like gentlemen, and this pleas
ed them and they said, Some of
us are, madam, I hope, and thank
ing her for the water they rode
away. Well, some Of them we're
gentlemen, and all such we re-
spact. / recalled tho few succeed
ing days when Harris and Joel
Abbott Billups and I and two or
three friends hid out the mules
and the horses in a canebrake and
fed them at night, and hid our
selves out in a pine thicketin sight
OF the horses and played cards on
the ground and eat melons and
told stories to pass away the time,
and had signals Of peace and war
and distress arranged with our
wives, 80 that we could act on
emergencies. I remember how two
struggling soldiers found the mules
one day and rode two Of them up
to the front gate, and Mrs. Harris
detained them in pleasant conver-
sation until we could get there,
and how Eugene was furiously and
recklessly mad and slipping round

cartridges and marched around
and had big frolic in time Of
peace and picked up Henry Grady,
and toted him around on their
shoulders, and made much Of him,
and he treated them to watermil-
lions, and ice cream, and soda wa
ter, until they let him off and set
him down again-and then they
cheered the boy and patted him
on the back, and petted him like
a spoiled child. He used to be
Rome's boy, and Athens boy, but
now he is Georgia's boy, and the
best known man I reckon in the
state. All this carried me back

The st. Louis Globe Democrat of FRI
day morning April 18th, gives graphic
description Of Coles great shows, and
in paying the performance the highest
tribute of praise it makes special men-
ton of the wonderful crowds in daily at
tendance upon this truly marvellous en-
tertainment, which isto exhibit in Boze-
man on Saturday, June 81.
1T verify seemed that everybody in
1t. Louis attended the two performances
of Coles Great Shows at Nineteenth and
Pine yesterday. At the afternoon enter
tainment the tents were full. while at the
night performance the throng of eager
applicants for admission was 80 dense
that the ticket wagon had to be closed,
as every available inch ofspace was &C.
cupied. The splendid circus programme
which Mr.. Cole had arranged was car
ried out entire, with skill and excel
lence which. won the enthusiastic ap-
plause of the multitude. The many
novelties which distinguish the Cole
Shows from others ofthe same class were
. revelation, and while some Of the thrill
ling acts were in progress the great audi
ences almost held their breath at the
unheard of daring Of the performers.
The various artists had recovered from
the nervousness of the e Bt day, and did
their parts ,cleverly and without any
failures or accidents"

Dlscovery Or The Yellowstone National
PARK.


In the Magazine of American History,
published in New York, appears an in
teresting article from the pen Of our
townsman, Mr.. Peter Koch, entitled the
discovery of the Yellowstone National
Park" From review of the article We
are inclined to think it valuable addi-
ton to the history of that wonderland
region, and as Mr.. Koch is painstaking
and thorough man in whatever he under
takes we are inclined to the opinion that
his conclusions are correct. 1t is fact
that until within a few years but little
positive knowledge was gained Of that
country, except through the tales Of
prospectors and trappers, which were SO
marvellous as to lead to expeditions, the
most notable of which, in our
time, was led by General Wash
burne and party in 1870. Mr..
Koch attributes the first known intima-
ton of the existence of the famous vol.
canic region at the headwaters Of the
Yellowstone and Madison rivers, to the
trapping expedition of one Golfer, who
was one of Lewis & Clarke's men, who
obtained his discharge below the mouth
of the Yellowstone on the return trip of
that expedition, and came back to the
mountains the following year as trap
per, accompanied by man named Potts.
The history of their troubles has already
been furnished the Historical Society Of
Montana. In all the intervening years
little was known of the Yellowstone
Park until the Washburne- Doane expedi-
ton. Since that time it has become
widely known, both in Europe and
America, as having within its borders
the largest and grandest Of natural Won
des. We are under obligations t" Mr..
Koch for an opportunity Of reading this
valuable addition to its history.

Another Charlie Ross Case.

On the 18th April last, there disap-
peared from his home near Liberty, Clay
county, Missouri, 16 year old lad nam
ed John NJ. Brown, whose parents have
since made every exeration to find him,
hut unsuccessful. It was understood at
the time, that he went away with one
Harry Davis of about the same age. The
bows were traced as far as Kansas City,
where all track of them was lost, and
since then a most dilligent search
through Kansas and MISSOURI has failed
to find them. The boys mother is al
most frantic with grief and fear, she be-
ing under the impression that her son
has possibly been made away with by
the other lad. The Herald, under these
circumstances confidently appeals to its
brethren of the press throughout Kansas.
Texas, Nebraska and Missouri, to aid in
restoring to this griefstricken parent her
lost child. For his detection or informa-
ton leading to his recovery, the father,
Mr.. J. w. Brown of Quincy, ILL.,, offers a
reward of $50. The description Of ]. N.
Brown is as follows: Weight about l35
pounds, heavy set, dark hair and eyes.
head rather large and round, forehead
rather low, with coarse stubby hair, has
a few teeth plugged with silver. Henry
DAVIS weighs about 125 pounds, is spare
built, has sharp features. smooth, oily
tongue, with tumor about the size OF a
small pecan on front part Of one ear.

VIRGINIA CRY, Friday,

VIRGINIA CRY, Friday, June H.
This evening, about & O'Clock, Ben
Burns, Martin Peel, and Deputy Sher-
in Gloyd arrived in town, bringing with
them John Elmundson, wife and two
children Albert Edmundson, and Neal
Murphy, the horse thieves who raided
the territory last week. The Madison
party followed them to Ricksville, Idaho,
capturing the supply wagon ON the road,
about one siile from Camas station. At
Ricksville, they found the remainder Of
the thieves and horses. The pursuers
struck the house, where the robbers
were lodged, about midnight, and kept
guard till dawn. As soon as their pres
ence was discovered, a hot fight ensued,
lasting about half an hour, when one Of
the thieves, George Mum, came out Of
the house and was shot by one of the
posse. He only lived haitian hour. The
others surrendered, on a promise that
they should not be lynched.
This daring band have all been cap
tured, or killed, and the Madison bows
have covered themselves with glory.
The surviving outlaws are now safely
ensconced in Sheriff Platner's hostelry.
The remainder of the posse, with the
recovered horses, returned via Henry's
Lake to the Madison,

Chisholm Provided For.

The opposition to the removal of f. A.
Kreidler from the registership of the
Miles City land office was too vigorous
and influential to Ike disregarded by the
department Mr.. Chisholm, the Cullum
claimant from Illinois, was finally moved
to reconsider his resolution TO accept
none but that particular Office. He was
advised by friend that he would do
well to secure the registeiship at Boze-
man, and he gladly accepted the Office.
Chisholm is a young lawyer at Elgin'
ILL.,, and is known to fame as the son Of
one of the Little Emma mine owners of
Utah, who created sensation several
years ago by unloading it upon English
stock holders. Chisholm will succeed
Davis Wilson who, for two or three
terms, has held the registers Office at
Bozeman, and was everywhere recog-
nized as a competent and faithful Off
cial. But Chisholm must be provided
for and the little matter of past services
and competency was not allowed to stand
in the way Of providing for an Office
seeking mendicant who may have rem
dered some service to a senator.
A Democratic administration will re-
form the growing abuse in the civil ser
vice reform, and Chisholm will have to
step down and out sometime soon after
March 4th, 1885.

Fourth Of July.

The Fourth Of July ia coming on apace.
and the different committees have about
perfected a plan of operations. From all
appearances the largest amount of outlay
will be expended on fireworks. Our
own ideas of how to celebrate the day
and carry out an Old-fashioned celebra-
ton would he instead Of spending the
money on fireworks, if we want the pee
pie of Gallatin County to turnout en-
masse, to have grand barbecue with a
roasted OK, sheep, pigs, etc, and invite
everybody to a grand banquet. The
trouble will he that most of the people
who come from the country, will have to
return home before they can see the dis
play of fireworks, which will no doubt be
the most important event of the day.
Perhaps. however, it is too late to make
any change in the programme. We un-
derstand the committee on finance
have been very successful in raising
funds, and the success of the celebration
is therefore assured. and we trust that on
such day that our citizens will give
themselves up wholly to it's enjoyment
and make it one grand holy day for once

Dissatisfaction.

Some of our territorial exchanges are
inclined to haul the Democratic Territor-
ial Committee over the Goals in the ap-
pointment Of delegates to the National
Convention. When it is remembered
that the delegates from the territories
have no voice in the convention and
may not be entitled to more than seat,
and that there was no contest among de-
leeates for the empty honor, it is not
surprising that they selected the only
two gentlemen who were named before
the committee. and who bad signifed
q willingness to 60 to Chicago and en-
deavor to secure representation then and
hereafter. Besides there are no two
gentlemen who have contributed more
to Democratic success in this territory
and have never received anything there
for than Hon. s. Word and Hon Sam
Hauser.
If any one from eastern Montana had
put in a claim in time we should have
felt it our duty as member of that oom-
mittee to give him our support, but on
arriving on the scene Of action it was
apparent to us that the two selected
would be the choice of the committee in
any event. We also note that the Liy-
lngston Enterprise attributes the calling
of the Territorial Convention at Deer
Lodge to the committee, whereas the
place for holding the convention of 1884
was named by the last Territorial Con-
vention and the committee had nothing
whatever to do with it,.

Take Warning.

A deep under current Of feeling is pre-
vailing the community that in order to
repress the prevalence of horse stealing
and many Of the lesser crimes, that =
vigorous application of hemp is needed.
The large increase of idlers and desperate
characters who are committing depreda-
tons, and who we may say in justice to
the officers at least in thus county, are
ferreted out and arrested, are only ad.
ding to the debt Of the county, and for
the most part get clear, is awakening
great deal OF honest indignation, and We
would not be surprised that it grows to
such an extent that swift punishment
will be neted out to offenders. Only a
short time ago raid was made on Bea-
yer creek and large number of valuable
horses were stolen. The robbers were
pursued and overtaken, but at the mouth
of revolver stood oil their pursuers and
went on their way. A rumor has come
that they have been surrounded BY
posse Of sixty men, but We have not
traced it to any reliable source. If true,
We would not give much for their
chances.
