timer in that section, who once lived at
Landusky. in the Little Rockies. and was
there during the most exciting times.
1t was in the Little Rockies that the
Curry gang made it's headquarters, and
the old-tIner told the newspaper man
about some of the experiences there. -,

stirring times and who lived to tell the
tale, was Jew jake" once resident Of
Helena, and who is we'll known to all

that the old man was compelled to aban-
