The article OF the Big Hole battle pub
lished in the Inter Mountain and Bitter
Root Times contains an error that would
probably not be noticed by any one ex-

lished the article states that General
Gibbons gave Billy Edwards a horse t.
ride to Deer Lodge, while the manu-
script reads, General Gibbons told him
he had not a m%outhful of provisions TO
give him and not a horse to ride 1t is
a fact that every horse in the command
was killed during the battle.
