FRIDAY, MARCH IL, 1899.
The Horse Fell On Him.

Harry Gearing, one of the drivers of
the Marietta Transfer Co, went out
with load of oil well supplies Thurs
day morning to the Johnson farm,
above Williamstown, and found the
roads in n horrDle condition. When
in the field the horses got into deep
mud and in working around them one
of them by some mschance got en-
tangled in the mud and threw itself,
falling on Gearing who was standing
near it. The place was on the side of
a hill, and as Gearing was on the lower
side of the horse and the horse with
It's back down hill, it looked for a time
as If iC might terminate seriously, as
every Zine the horse would struggle 1t
would work his body nearer to Gearing
body, and finally did rest great deal
of its weight on his abdomen. A by
stander called to the men at work in
the derrick nearby, and there was a
number of men there besides the crew
who all came to his assistance and
lifted The horse from him and took
MIN out of the perilous position. 1t is
not hought that he was dangerously
injured, but it was a narrow escape
from being crushed to death. Probab-
ly reason that he was not worse in
iured was because of the soft mud al
lowing his body to sink into the earth
and not getting the full force of the
horses weight.

Col, Boone'S Road Purchased by
EngIishmen,

The Times Star has the following
concerning the Black Diamond road
projected by Col. A. r. Boone:
The arrangements for the construc-
tion of the proposed Black Diamond
railroad route by an English syndicate
were almost completed at the Lrand
Hotel Tuesday by conference of the
American stockholders with T. C.
Dickinson, representing the British
capitalists. AS soon as the legal for
malIties have been complied with the
franchise and privileges held by the
Americans will be transferred to the
Englishmen. To do this Dickinson
will go to London at once Ten thous-
and dollars were advanced to pay the
preliminary expense of financing the
line in England. The American cap
tlalists have spent $257OO0 on the
road, but it will all be paid back to
them with interest by the foreign cap
italists before a mile of the roa, shall
lave been built. Col. A. e. Boone, of
GAINESVILLE, o., and Col Ross, of Knox
vile, Tenn, are the leading promoters
of the system in this country. 1t is
expected that branch of the proposed
line will come to Cincinnati. TIE
English representative stated that the
construction work will begin in three
or four months. The different divis-
ions of the proposed line are known as
the Indianapolis, Vevay & Tldewater,
Ghent, Cynthiana & Tidewater, Column

will have 100000 to build tie line
and enough of the money ii SAID to be
available now to buiid $50 miles of the
road, all of which will be double track.

Yellowstone country. He reached ST.
Louis in safety A threatened attack
from a party of Assinniboines was
averted and the journey was continued
into the territory of the Eastern In
dians, but the priest and his little party
were not molested. At one time on the
journey Father DeSmet was saved by
the robe of his office. He was captured
by a party of Blackfoot Indians, but
their chief, recognizing the profession
of the priest from his black robe and
the crucifiX that he wore, had him
treated as an honored guest and he was
borne in triumph to the village, where
the chief called the attention of the
people to the sacred calling Of the Black
Robe and introduced Father DeSmet
to his warriors with considerable cere-
mony. These were the only incidents
that interrupted the monotony of the
homeward journey and New Years eve
found Father DeSmet once more safe
with his friends in the college at st.
Louis. His glowing accounts of his long
journey and his brief sojourn in the
Northwest aroused among the clergy
new interest in the Indian mission and
| many were anxious to join him in his
return to his chosen field. There was
no longer any doubt as to the necessity
Of further work among the Indians of
the region that had been visited and
during the winter months in ST. Louis
many plans for the furtherance of the
work were discussed.
Plans of Father DeSmet.
It Is not difficult to imagine the en-
thusiasm with which Father DeSmet
described to his associates in ST. Louis
the experiences of that memorable
summer. His heart was full of joy
over the success that had attended his
ministrations among the Indians and
he was burning with a desire to con-
tinue the work under more favorable
| conditions With what feeling must he
have described that wonderful recep-
ton which was accorded him by the
eager Indians on the day that he for
the first time celebrated mass among
them How eloquent must have been
his tongue as he related the incidents
which illustrated the zeal and sincerity
Of this simple people, seeking the true
God, cropping in darkness for the sal
walton of which they had heard so
vaguely and then their overwhelming
Joy when they found that what they

that had been made to secure the pres
ence in the Bitter Root of the Black
Robes. At It's head was the oldest man
in the Flathead tribe, a brave named
Simon. who had received the rite of
baptism from Father DeSmet the previ-
Gus year. Then there were the sons of
Big Ignace, who had been baptized at
ST. Louis many years before. Young
Ignace, who had been one of the sue
cessful runners who had reached st.
Louis with the message of the Flat
heads; the brothers OF the members of
the band that had been massacred by
the Sioux in an attempt to reach St.
Louis and others who had been of in
fuence in securing the presence Of the
missionaries. The interpreter was the
half-b breed, Prudhomme, who had act
ed for Father DeSmet on his previous
visit The meeting of the Indians and
the missionaries was an affectionate
one, Father DeSmet had made good
his promise to return and the Indians
reioiced in this advance of good faith.
More than that, however, they had be-
come attached to the young missionary
and they welcomed his return with
sincerity and friendly affection.
The Mission Established.
The Indians, as already stated, had
exhausted their supply of provisions
while waiting for the arrival of the de-
layed missionaries. The rations OF the
priests, TOO, were running low and their
animals were much worn with the long
trip from ST. Louis. 1t was therefore
decided that detour should be made
to old Fort Hall, where the supply OF
food could be replenished. Prudhomme
and others OF the advance party went
to the main camp Of the Indians to Sc
cure fresh horses for the priests and
their companions. The stay at Fort
Hall was a brief one, lasting only four
days. During this time fresh horses
had been received from the Flathead
village and the missionaries had taken
BILE to their emigrant companions of the
long journey and, in company with the
delegation of Flatheads, started toward
the main camp of the Indians, which
was near the headwaters of the Beaver
head river. They had proceeded but
three or four days upon their journey
before they began to meet small bands
of the tribe, whose Impotence to meet
once more their priest had become so

party was attacked by hostile Sioux
somewhere on the South Platte, and,
although they made a desperate de-
fence, they were oVeTpeWered by force
of numbers and all were slain. 1t is
said that the Sioux offered escape to
Ignace, who wore TIE garb of the white
men, but he cast his lot with his fell
lows and shared their fate. Some Prot
estant missionaries who had Joined the
party were spared. Ignace may prop
erly be called the pioneer missionary
Of the Flathead country 1t was he
who first brought to these Indians the
story of Christ and it was he who first
gave them the simple instructions that
he could in the rites of the church. And
now. as a fitting close to his noble ca
reer, he gave his life in the attempt to
secure for his adopted people the teach
ings Of the Black Robes, who would
show the Flatheads the road to heaven.
1t was singularly fitting close to
life Of devotion to a grand principle.
The grief that was felt among the
Flathead. when they learned of the
fate of this expedition can we'll be i'm
agined. They had loved and respected
the IrOquOis who had been their teach
er and friend and very deeply mourned
his loss. They were, however, unde
tered in their purpose. The matter was
discussed in council and two young
Iroquois, Left-Handed Peter and
young Ignace, announced their inten-
ton of going to St. Louis to bring the
Black Robes. There has been no fanli-
, ly relation shown between the younger
! Ignace and former hero of the same
/ name, but both were possessed of the
/ same undaunted courage and sincerity
Of purpose. These two young men
started for the eastern city in company
with some Hudson Bay men who were
to make the journey from the upper

complete. Their long cherished hopes
We're to be realized. They were to re-
ceive an insight into the beautiful re-
llgion Of which they had been given
glimpses by their rude teacher, Big Ig-
mace. The craving for a full knowledge
of the story of salvation was to be sat
isfied. All of the anxiety of years was
relieved and they gave way to rejoicing.
When the glad news was received the
chief of the council at once selected 10
of his bravest warriors to form a party
which should Immediately start to meet
the Black Robe and extend to him the
welcome of the tribe The chief him
self would follow with his people. The
10 ambassadors, proud of their office
fastened to comply with their orders
and at once set forth to meet Father
DeSmet. The priest had fallen in with
a. party of fur hunters. with whom he
made the journey to Green river with
out incident. 1t was June so of this
year Q840) that Father DeSmet reached
Green river, but the little party bear
ing the welcome of the Flathead ma
ton was there ahead Of him, waiting
for the first sight of the teacher whose
coming significd SO much to them
and their people. 1t is easy
to imagine the deep joy which
ing as young Ignace presented
to the priest his tribesmen and the
sincerity of the welcome which was
extended to the brave young mission
airy.
On the following Sunday Father De-
Smet celebrated mass in the camp at
| Green river. His own description OF
| this, his first service in his new field
is a beautiful one. His audience was
| composed of the few Indians, of white
| trappers, hunters, traders and emil
