For the past few days have been
| brought in contact with the Lewis &
Clark trail at the head waters of the
Missouri river and there is one in
cident especially of which l wish to
speak.
About twelve years ago Dan Klap-
ham left Ontario, Ind, and went to
Montana where he secured employ
ment as herder on stock range for
Scott s. Decker. Later in the fall he
discovered a cave or small dug-out on
the bank of the Jefferson river. In
the cave was found a roll of birch
bark and several sacks of the same
material. AS there is no birch with
in a thousand miles of this cave this
excited his curiosity. Mr.. aud Mrs.
Scott Of Redrock became interested
in the case and believed it to be of
Lewis & Clark construction and eX-
pected to investigate the same next
spring, but during the winter young
Klapham was frozen to death in the
mountains. No search was made for
the cave until week ago last sF'riday
when Mrs. Scott showed the following
copied from the diary of Lewis &
Clark:
REDRoCK, MONT, Feb. 26, 1909.
Friday, August 16. 1S05-At two
and one half miles beyond this high
cliff, the cliffs approach on both sides
and form a considerable rapid near
the entrance of bold running stream
on the left. On ascending an
eminence Capt. Clark saw the forks
of the river and sent the hunters on.
Saturday, August II, 1SO5-The
canoes, arriving soon afterward we
formed camp in a meadow on left
hand side little below the forks.
Tuesday, August 20, 1S05-As we
had still some superfluous baggage,
which would be too heavy to carry
across the mountains, it became
necessary to make a cache or deposit.

on the bank of the river, three-fourths
of mile from camp, and three men
were set to dig it, with sentinel in
the neighborhood, who was ordered if
the natives were to straggle that
way, to fire signal for Workmen to
desist and separate. Toward evening
the cache was completed without be-
ing perceived by the Indians and
packages were prepared for deposit.
Wednesday, August 81, 19O5-After
dark we carried our baggage to the
cache, and deposited what we thought
was too cumbrous to carry with US;
also a small assortment of medicine,
all specimens of plants, seeds and
minerals collected since leaving the
falls of Missouri.
Thursday, August 22.-The next
morning two men were sent to COM
plete the covering of the cache, which
could not be SO perfectly done during
the night, to elude the search of the

Tanner said that there was no under

that tie latter had no direct knowledge
of the sources of his monthly remittances,
his share of the earnings of the law firm
of Mitchell & Tanner. which were for

Tanner said under cross examination
that never to his knowledge did Mitchell
ever see check from Kribs to the firm
