Young did not know what to do. as
he knew Scott's action meant trouble,

wagon and asked him what he should

ed with buckshot. and went up to the
wagon and told Scott to get out. Scott
replied that the team was his and that

Scott fell out of the wagon dead.
This, of course. caused us to stop,
and we went into camp and buried

dered trial at once, as was customary
IN such cases. He at first proposed to
try me as well as Young, but Colonel
Vawter convinced him I had nothing
to do with the shooting and 1 was left
out. A jury of six men was selected
from the men in the train and the trial
proceeded. / testified as to what
knew, but I was discredited because of
what Reed had said, and the jury took
Reeds story that the shooting was a
cold-blooded murder, in preference to
the testimony of Colonel Vawter, and
found Young guilty. A firing squad of
six men was selected, and poor Young
was taken out and shot. more hellish
murder was never committed, but we
were powerless to prevent it. The jury
decided to turn Young's team and goods |
over to Reed, who agreed to sell them |
and properly dispose of the proceeds, |
but of course he never did it, and mis- |
scheme succeeded. He travelled with |
us one more day ard then went off by |
and I never heard of him
again.
The incident had considerable to do
with changing our course We did not
care to travel any longer with Reed, so
we crossed the Green river and headed
for Oregon, which was then being talk

They came in great numbers to see me
work and. from their actions, evidently
! thought it the greatest sight they ever
| witnessed. The little ones got in front
of me and bothered me so l came very
near cutting the legs off a number of
them. No one seemed to know any
thing about binding wheat, either, and
I taught Blodgett to make a band and
bind sheaf. When I got through with
this job, Chief Victor, who had about
Is acres of wheat at Fort Owens hired
me to cut his, and l also cut most of
the wheat for all the settlers of the To-
cality.
Il concluded to give up the idea of
going to Oregon entirely and settle
down and go to farming, but before I
got well at it news came of the discov-
cry of gold at Bannack and, as 7 had
come, west to hunt gold, gave up the
farming idea and with a number of
others headed for Bannack We arrived
there in the latter part of December
and / put in the winter saving out
lumber for houses and in the spring of
the Yellowstone. We We're to have met
Bill Fairweather's party on the Stink
ing Water, but they failed to keep the
appointment. This led to the discovery
of gold in Alder gulch by that party,
while we continued on the expedition
which is now familiar history"
The years have dealt kindly with the
aged pioneer, Notwithstanding the hard
ships he encountered in his venturesome
young manhood, and he is to-day as
hearty and active as most men many
years his Junior. He has not amassed
the fortunes of his illustrious relatives
and he still earns his living with the
saw and hammer, but he has enough,
and who shall say he is not as happy
and contented as they? He thinks he
is more so.

with great many difficulties, for the
| streams We're all swollen and we had
to caulk up the holes in our wagon
boxes and use them for boats to ferry
our goods over and swim our horses.
We were laid up at the Snake river
for about two weeks owing to the river
being SO swollen that we could not
| cross, and we had to wait till an agent
| of the government arrived with party
of soldiers to build a ferry We finally
got across and not long afterward met
! three Frenchmen, who told us of an al
legged rich gold discovery at a place
called Florence Probably 100 or $50
people had collected at the Snake river
while We We're laid up there, all bound
for Oregon Some Is wagons out of the
whole train stopped when me met the
Frenchmen and decided to head for the
diggings. We were told it was impossi-
Bile to make the trip by wagon, so we
stopped at Three Buttes to cache our
surplus provisions and supplies and
make pack saddles to go on with.
"At length we We're ready to start
again. we nau not gone more than flNG
miles from where we had left our wag-
ons and supplies, when a band of In
dians set fire to the wagons, and all
we had left behind was destroyed. We
travelled up over the Salmon mountains
and one night when We We're told we
We're within a short distance of the
camp, we were abandoned by our guide
ana we were in a great quandary TO
know what to do. A consultation was
held and We decided to go on and see
where we would bring up. We followed
a mountain trail till we came to the
Big Hole mines. on the headWaters of
the Jefferson river, where we found a
number of men mining. From them we
got our bearings and started out again.
Eventually we reached Willow creek
in the Bitter Root country, where we
found some settlers. Joe Blodgett. who
had little piece of wheat in, came to
us and asked if any of us could cradle.
] told him ] could, and he offered me S.
a day to come and cradle his wheat l
took the job and left the party, and here
began my residence in Montana.
"The Indians We're friendly with the
settlers and when I started in cradling
the next day ! had a great audience.
What wheat had been grown up to that
time had all been cut with a sickle. and
grading was something new to them.

putting fighting edges on their sabers.
You may be sure that after they finished
they had weapons which could be de-
pended upon to do execution in the lit
eral sense.
Another improvement which the sol
diers are making on their sabers is the
painting Of the ~scabbards a dull gray.
Tommy Atkins has found that the CLINT
of the sun on a polished scabbard makes
him too conspicuous as he dashes across
the field to charge; hence the paint.
Possibly some good nonmartial souls
may view this grinding of sabers as an
evidence of barbaric bloodthirstiness on
the part of the British, but it must be
remembered that war IS a grim, terrible
business. Some of the Union cavalry
men In the civil war did the same thing.
1t was found, however, that the razor
edged sabers did a lot Of mischief from
which the C~onfederates did not suffer.
After the first drill with sharpened sa-
bers some of the troopers had lost fin
gers, others suffered from leg wounds,
and a large number of cavalry horses
turned up with one ear missing. This
experience led the commanding officers
to discourage the practice of saber grind
ing. Perhaps the British may have the
same experience.

Senator William Pierce Frye, who as
president pro tempore Of the senate be-
comes the presiding officer of that body
because Of the death Of Vice President
Hobart, has for nearly 80 years been a
not a great orator or a man noted for
brilliancy in conversation, he has made
his influence felt In the laWmaking coun-
ellis OF the nation.
Almost every one is familiar with the
hand he has taken in regard to the great
measures which have been before the
senate during his long service there, but
Of his private life and character less is
known probably than of any other pub
lie man of his prominence.
rernaps some or tne rolIow1ng anec-
dotes give a truer insight into the char
acter of the man who will WELD the gaveI
in the senate next session than any rec
ord of his life.
1t is well known that Senator Frye is
not one of the rich senators. In fact, be
is, comparatively speaking, a poor man.
He has devoted so much time to public
service that he has had little left to de-
vote to private law practice. His salary
OF $1,000, which will be increased to So
600 while he discharges the duties of
vice president, constitutes almost all his
income. He has not been a saving man,
aud he tells this story to show why be
is not:
Il was brought up in a Quaker family,
and when during my boyhood I got a
chance to take a trip to Boston my
grandfather gave me SIS to spend. l did
not know any boys in Boston, and |
could think Of no way to have IS worth
Of fun without boys, SO kept the money
in my pocket. When 1 got home, my
grandfather asked me how / had spent
the IS, and /, with the air of one who
had done a virtucus act, said:
. 81 didn't spend it at all, grandfather.
| saved 1t, and | have it in my pocket
Hereupon my grandfather replied:
"'Thee may give me back the money,
William. l gave thee that money to
spend at Boston
'sThis," concluded Senator Frye,
taught me a lesson, and ever since that
I have known better than to save mon
ey."
Senator Frye is, however, by no means
an -extravaGant man. He has a large
family and about eight grandchildren.

that those who did n9t wear capotes or
