The story continues that old
Sleepy Eye has passed into the
Happy Hunting Grounds, not, how
ever, before rendering assistance at
the risk of his own life to many a
fleeing settler during the dark days
of 1861, when with torch and scalp
ing knife the terrible Sioux swept
like Bosom of obstruction over the
sun kissed prairies of this fair land,
killing, manning, bruising-undoing
in day the work of a year and
causing hearts to bleed and happy
homes to become desolate wates.
Old Sleepy Eye proved himself a
councillor and friend in those days,
and many hunted man owes to
him his life. He passed away in
1862, and being at that time en-
route to visit friends near Big
Stone lake, was buried on the shore
of Bull Head lake near Big Stone

away from the spot he loved and
called his home, his only requiem

The spring after Estacheba's
death about 200 of his band gave a
Remembrance Dance in honor of his
memory, and this dance was held
on the knoll where the Steffin Brew
cry now stands. This was the last
general gathering of the old chiefs
followers, and now they that have
survived the years are scattered all
over the State on various reserva-
tons, although the old man s wild

whatever is known of the other

ranching. For many years big
ranchmen have controlled the Mon

LEGEND OF THE LAKE.
Or Some Facts About the Indian
''Sleepy Eye"

Editor Hays of the Sleepy Eye
Dispatch has issued a neat little
booklet, entitled Legend of the
Lake, in which he gives the his
tory of Sleepy Eye, as propounded
to him by the winds from the prair-
les around Sleepy Eye, by such In
dams who resided there in the early
days and are now living, and by a
Frenchman who is still residing in
Sleepy Eye.
From this history it appears that
the Sioux Indians called the lake
near the town, "Bedatasche, a
term meaning the pretty water with
the big trees. In 1929 the Hudson
Bay Company, a concern connected
with the early history of the entire
northwest, established trading
post at the lake, and placed French
man in charge, who conducted the
post until 1860, when it was aban-
doned, because the Indians were
not bringing in furs fast enough to
warrant continuing of the post.
In 1856 Hyacinthe Coutourier,
who had married daughter of the
agent of the trading post at the lake,
came from the northwest and pitched
his tent on the historic ground near
the lake. He was really the first
white born settler there, and was
dubbed French Cap and from
him the story of Sleepy Eye is most
ly garnered by the editor of The
Dispatch. The story goes:
when the Coutouriers first came
they found band of Indians here,
q peaceful, quiet band of savages,
who in their crude way were MAX
ing this their home. At the head
of the band was a chief, Estacheba,
the Man The-Drooping-Eye-
lids, and this peculiar facial char
;acteristic, which gave him the ap-
pearance OF being sleepy, earned
for him the shorter name of Sleepy
Eyes" and among the whites the
lake soon became known as the
Sleepy Eye Lake, and was incor-
porated under that name.
Est a-che-ba was powerful
man and stood six feet in his moe
casins. He was straight as an
arrow and born leader. He had a
reputation for fairness and square
dealing that made him the friend of
all with whom be came in contact
He had lived here for five years,
had hunted and fished in the purl-
ing waters of the Cottonwood, in
the sky corored waters of the Min
nesota, and the pellucid floods of
famed Be-da-ta -sche. His the tru-
est instinct on the hunt, his the
truest aim when the great buffalo
went down, his the greatest success

Hill S efforts to settle the country,
and now the grazing land Of Mon
tana is dotted with the homes Of
many small and few large ranchers.
They came there with but very
little money, and they are now ac-
cumulating wealth rapidly.
There are two round-ups each
season spring and fall. In the
spring the cattle are all rounded up
and the calves are all branded with
the brand OF the proprietor, and the
same brand as are on the other cat
tie belonging to the same proprie-
tor, which were turned out on the
range the previous fall. The brand
ing over the herd is again turned
on to the range, and there it mixes
with the herds of many other ranch
men for the remainder of the sum-
mer. At the opening of the fall
season the cowboy is again at his
work OF rounding up the herds of
the different owners, and at this
roundup all of the fat cattle are
sorted out from the herd, are driv-
en- to the stockyards and are placed
into improved cattle cars and sent
to the Eastern markets. At a time
a single ranchman sends a train
load of 30 or 40 cars of fat cattle.
pulled by one of the big Great North
ern engines over the system to the
markets of the east. It is a big
sight and pleasant sight to the
owner of the cattle, who sees thous-
ands of dollars in the train as it is
pulled away from his nearest sta
ton.
1.-The rounding up of the fat
cattle being over the herds are
again turned out to grass for the
fall and winter, finding plenty of
fair grazing in the buffalo grass
growing in the valleys of the rivers
and at the base Of the hills. There
is no expense attached to the rails
ing OF cattle, you observe, except
the expense of keeping the cow
boys. And it IS quite a sight to
see these fellows do their work.
They are not supposed to know
much, but the peculiar thing about
it is that they always know enough
to be just in the right place. The
cowboy knows just where he is
wanted, and he is always there.
Many fat steer sees no one but a
COW boy during his life, and when
he is rounded up for market and
sees the life around station he is
naturally wild, but the cowboy
knows the animal and invariably

''There are still some cattle
thieves in the State, but not as
many as there used used to be. A
cattle thief is seldom brought to
trial. The ranchers, who have
standing rewards for the capture
OF them, usually take heroic meas
ures. But the thief or thieves find
it almost impossible to make the
business paying one, on account
of the State laws, which forbid the
railroad companies from CARRYING
live stock out of the State without
the written consent of the owner of
the brand. Thus the thief is shut
off from shipping stolen live stock.
When he steals an animal or two,
it must be for such
beef as he wants to use, and then he
must burn the hide in order to
destroy the brand, and the burning
ing of hides, which is generally
pretty good evidence of guilt, is not
always as successful as the cattle
thief could wish, and he is frequent
ly brought to justice -
