REGARDED AS UNLIKELY.
Not Believed That Fort Custer Will Be
Rehabiitafed

The item going the rounds of the
state press under Billing date stat
ing that historic Fort Custer is to be
re-estabiished and garrisoned with
1000 men sounds a little ''fshy," and
is not taken as a fact by those who
kept close tab on the methods pur-
sued to bring about the abandonment
of that fort several years ago by the
war department.
A gentleman from the national CAPT
tai of the name of e. G.. Funk, who
visited this section of the state some
weeks ago, is credited with the state
ment that the fort is to be rebuilt and
garrisoned. If it were true that Mr..
Funk made the statement credited to
reached that in some capacity he re-
presented the war department during
his recent visit to this section.
1t is known to a certainty that Mr..
Funk has nothing whatever to do with
the affairs of the war department and
that his official connection is with the
treasury branch of the Indian service.
1t was in the interest of the latter
branch of the government service that
he visited the Crow agency, near old
Fort Custer, as we'll as a number of
other Indian agencies in the north
west.
The re-establishment of Fort Custer,
which was abandoned through methods
which many people in this section have
always looked upon as questionable,
would be hailed with delight by all the
people in this part of Montana; but in
view of the fact that the war depart
ment and congress Immediately fol-
lowing the abandonment of the fort
named in honor of the brave fighter of
that name, ordered the construction of
a modern military post in Wyoming,
just across the Montana border, it is
not regarded as at all likely that
Custer will ever be garrisoned again.
