ritory of Montana, holding that Office for
Madison county.
Removing to Lewis and Clark county, he
served two terms as county commissioner
and one term in the territorial legtsla-
ture. Always pioneer, Mr.. Fergus was
one of the first settlers in what was then
Meagher county, locating on Armells
creek in 1870. Re represented the county
in the first constitutional convention and
in 1886 was a member of the state senate.
1t was while acting in this latter capacity
that Fergus county was organized by
segregation from Meagher county. 1t was
just demand Of the people Of his region,
but it is doubtful whether it would have
been granted for several years but for the
fact that his associates in the legislature
desired to confer an honor upon him. Mr..
Fergus unselfshly proposed the name OF
Judith but to no avail. Hence one OF
the richest counties in Montana bears his
honored name.
Associated with the Montana pioneers
organization, Mr.. Fergus became an hon
ored member and the center of interest
and affectionate regard whenever he has
age, enfeebled health, together with the
long distance to the railroad and place OF
meeting have prevented his attendance of
late years. He was the first president OF
the association.
Mr.. Fergus wife, a noble woman, died
in 1887. He left three daughters, Mrs. S.
G. Gilpatrick of Helena, Mrs R. H. Ham
ilton Of Lewistown, Mrs. Frank Maurey
Of Dilley, Ore, and also one son, Andrew
Fergus of Armells, Fergus county.

HELENA, MONT.-James Fergus, a
pioneer Of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Mon

Mr.. Fergus was born in Scotland on the
farm of Shawton, Glassford parish Ian
AYRSHIRE, on Oct 10, 1873. He spent sew
eral years in Canada, where he learned
and worked at the trade of millwright
From Canada he went to Green Bay, Wis.
He was in Milwaukee when it was not
much more than village and was offered
a quarter section Of land in what is now
the business portion Of Chicago for s8
an acre. After working at his trade in
various places, he finally located at
Moline, Ill.
From Moline he went to Little Falls.
Mimi, which place he founded and where
he bridged the Mississippi river. He af-
terwards located Fergus Falls the smart
little city which still bears his name. He
owned one-half of the townsite, but was
not a resident Of the place. His Little
Falls enterprise proved q financial failure
and the accumulation of years was quickly
swept away.
Undaunted, he cast his eyes to the west
ward. In 1862 he purchased a bull team
and joined Captain James l.. Fisk's over
land expedition at Little Falls, MINI. The
party arrived at Bannock, Mont, In the
fall of that year, and Mr.. Fergus at once
