Riel in Montana.

Someone has said that there is man
in Canada waiting for commission,
when he would Immediately raise a
company of COW boys from Montana
aud 60 on the war-path for Riel Of
course there is no truth in it, as the old
time COW boys of Montana are well
acquainted with Riel and his followers
to fight against them When Riel first
came to Montana and was a familiar
visitor to Miles CITY, the following chap
ter of his life transpired and vas first
published in the Butte Inter-Mountain /:
Just after the Red river rebellion in
1869, when Riel fed to Montana he fell
in with one Of the strongest and most
undaunted bandsof horse thieves. They
had their rendezvous IN .tne mountains
south of Helena, and were more formi-
dable than the laws Of the incipient ter
tory. A good many of them had partici-
pated with the Piutes and Crows in an
effort to, with Riel, down the pugnaci.
GUS Brit.shers. Naturally, when the re-
volutionist became a refugee, he fell in
with them. But 1t seems he did not at
frst know their real business. They
were engaged in buffalo hunting and
trapping, and this blind was sufficient to
throw even the wary half-breed off his
guard. His suspicious were soon arous-
ed, however, and very shortly they be-
gan limiting the immense profits Of the
business, and boldly offered him the
leadership. Riei took in the whole mat
ter at a glance. Only some half dozen of
his own staunch followers were with
him in those wilds. and he knewto OPEN
ly refuse would bring down vengeance
on his head. He suavely evaded the
subject. Next day he and his remnant
of men fed to other Businesses. Only
this notice, posted on convenient pine,
told the tale:
TO the leader of the Piute band: I
was unaware, when joined you in the
wilds, that you were thieves, instead of
patriots My cause is higher than yours;
my aims different arm not a thief, but
a revolutionist. Do not seek me, or
with an increased force I will kill you.
1t is not my business to pirate about mat
ters that do not concern me. Let me
alone and will let you. If you do not
your blood viii flow as freely as do the
waters Of the Yellowstone
LOUIS RIEL.
They never 'molested him. Riel en-
gagged in taking buffalo skins and SO con-
tinued fol several years thereafter. The
200 thieves continued to steal horses, and
in time grew very rich, insolent and die
tatorial. It was some Of this same band
that the yigilantes hanged in January
last at Helena, and, in the following
month, at Fort Keogh

SkatOrial Matters.

Reynolds, Montana's champion skater,
won the race with Orton at Helena on
Saturday afternoon without skating the
distance required. At first Orton gave
up at the end of the third lap because he
had on pair of inferior skates. Rey-
nolds then started again, and at the end
of the fifth lap Orton threw up the
sponge much to the disgust of large
number of spectators. Reynolds will
skate in the great race at New York next
month for the championship of America.
Mr. Wallace, Bozeman's champion, will
no doubt be the best skater in Montana
during Reynolds absence.
Since Messrs. Fridley g. Charpie have
leased the Bozeman rink it has been at
tended by better class Of people, and is
daily regaining place in the public's
favor. Being we'll acquainted here they
steadfastly compel those whose charact-
ers exclude them from social gatherings
to remain away Roller skating is a
medium Of intense enjoyment, endorsed
by such men as Rev Dewitt Talmadge
as cheap, healthful exercise. Now that
Fridley & Charpie have secured this
roller rink we trust that all will find IN
it what the proprietors propose to give, a
moral place for cheap and pleasant pas
time, and patronize it according to its
merits.
1t is suggested that there be rinks for
gentlemen and rinks for ladies-sort of a
Quaker-meeting institution,
