MAI. PETER ROMAN DEAD.
The Famous Ncnfana Pioneer and In
dian AGENT Gone.


The Famous Montana Pioneer and In
dian Agent Gone
Maj. Peter Roman, United States Indian
agent at the Flatheai reservation, died at
the agency at Arlee, Mont, last Sunday.
after long illness He had been agent
at the Fiatheai reservation for the past
sixteen years. He was one of the pioneers
of Montana, having come TO the state
in 1858 He had gone to Colorado As
boy, and after living there several
years went East to Leavenworth, Kan.
He was there when the Florence excite
ment broke out, and along with hundreds
of others got the gold fever. On the way
he fell IN with lot of old Colorado men.
and instead Of going to Florence
turned off to the camp at Bannock,
which was the first capital of the territory
of Montana. When Alder gulch was dis
covered he was one of the first stampeders,
and saw the rise and fall of Virginia City.
Shortly afterward ne started the Montana
Democrat at Virginia City. 1t was the Sec
ond newspaper IN the territory. When
Last Chance gulch was discovered he
started for Helena and there started an
other paper. the Rocky Mountain Gazette.
with Z. L. Wilkinson and Martin Magin-
mis-. The building in which 1t was printed
was burned in 1862 and another
that was erected burned two years later,
and the major went out of journalism,
and back to prospecting and mining again
and had pretty good luck at sBlackfoot
City, in the famous Ophir gulch. He was
next deputy sheriff in Helena. When the
Indian agent at the Flathead reservation
was suspended aud ordered to Washing
ton City, Carl Schurz, who was at
that time secretary Of the interior, sent
Roman orders TO go there and take
charge of the government property. Soon
after that President Hayes sent his name
to the senate for the agency and he was
confirmed and held the Office until he died.
When Mai. Roman first took charge of
the reservation all the Indians were hunt
ers, game was very plentiful and all used
to cross the Rockies in summer time and
spend several months in buffalo hunting.
A great change has taken place since then.
All of them are now good farmers. They
raise an enormous crop of grain, so large
that the grist mill is kept running night
and day. Not long ago the Bitter Root
Flatheads removed to the reservation
from their lands in the Bitter Root valley.
They had patents from the government
for all their lands there, but they agreed
to sell their farms and more to the
reservation. Over 40 families were moved
in this way and were given lands in sever
atty. The Fiathead reservation covers
over 1, 800, 900 acres and is nearly all mag
nificent agricultural country. There are
about 2, 900 Indians on 1t now. The major
had many troubles to settle during his |
agency. but they were mostly brought on
by white squatters on Indian lands. Maj.
Roman visited Seattle on August Is. He
came to the Coast by order of his physi-
clan. and was apparently dying man
when he was in this city.
