Archie Ferguson, who is under
Chief of Police Johnson, is making
visit in this city, Yesterday morn
ing he presented Chief Johnson a
short shot gun, such as stage drivers
used in the early days, which has con-
siderable of a history. Some twenty
years ago Mr.. Donaldson drove the
stage between Big Porcupine and Fat
kehoe in. Custer county At that
time Mr.. Johnson was under sheriff
to Sheriff Tom Irwin. One night
when returning from a trip in the
country, the stage which Mr.. Donald
son was driving swung around bend.
The two officers divided, one going
on each side of the road in true road
agent style. Donaldson thought he
was going to be held up and bringing
his gun to cover, he was ready for
action. The night was quite dark
and consequently the officers had to
put up strong talk before they
could convince the alert driver who
they We're. The gun which Mr.. John
son now has is the one which covered
him that night, and is an interesting
relic of early days in Montana.
