Floods in Early Days.

The spectacle of the Missouri river
overlooking its banks to an extent
eve before known, reminded old time
residents Of some of the food exper.
fences OF early days in this part of
Montana. In discussing the Indian
custom Of making their camp on high
ground at certain times of the year,
John Harris recalled a flood incident
which showed the wisdom of such q
selection.
According to Mr.. Harris, one of the
greatest Hoods on record in the Milk
river country was witnessed in the
spring of 1867. In the preceding fall,
a freighter named Dupont went to
Fort Peck to receive a shipment of
merchandise brought to that point by
steam boat, and while freighting i. to
this city vas caught in a terrific snow.
storm. The snow was so deep and
other conditions SO bad that Dupont
decided to camp for the winter in q
big bend of Milk river, a number Of
Indians being also camped in that To-
cality.
The depth of snow was increased by
heavy storms during the winter, and
they were finally followed by an uuu
sually strong chinook. The Indians
at once moved their camp 70 the hills,
and advised Dupont to pull his freight
to higher ground, but he concluded to
take his chances with a possible flood.
The trouble soon came with the break.

height of Eel twenty feet, overturn.
ing his wagons, and compelling his
men to seek safety in the trees. The
high water continued several days,
and during that time seven of the men
were so weakened by cold, hunger and
exposure that they dropped to their
death in the food below. The others
were rescued by the Indians, who made
a canoe from the trunk of a tree and
came to their assistance. One Of the
survivors of this tragic occurrence
was Joe Bowers, who was q resident
of this city a few years ago, and had
many friends in this vicinity.

 The Stce; Bridge.
 From the town to the river there are side tracks most Of the way and along them are great piles of steel beams, girders and other steel material for the bridge. It would seem impossible to put so much steel in one bridge but certain it is that more of it was hauled out there for fun.
 Of the six bridge caissons 46 feet long and over half as wide, guessed at one is completed. The second one is now 90 feet below water level and ten or fifteen men are still sinking it. working in two hour shifts, not yet having reached a satisfactory founda- tion.

SHERIFF CARL HAYDEN
 Is NOW A BENEDICT
His Marriage at Los Angeles on Sat urday to Miss Nan Downing.

Sheriff Carl Hayden was married at Los Angeles on Saturday night to Miss Nan Downing a teacher of English literature in the schools of Los An geles This marriage is one of the re- suits of co-education for the acquaint- ance which ripened into love and cul- minated in marriage was begun at Stanford University. The bride Is q graduate of the university of the class of '02. Since then she has been engag- ed in teaching.
 MT Hayden left for Los Angeles or Thursday night and he permitted the impression to get abroad that he was going on official business but the board of supervisors will be presented with no claim for mileage in this case.
 The bride has been ire quent visitor to the valley as the guest of Miss Hayden of Tempe and she spent a few days on the south side during the winter va cation of a year ago. The wedding en- gagement existed at that time but only the very immediate relatives of Miss Downing and Mir Hayden were ap- prised of that fact.
 The wedding had been set for an earlier date in the winter but 1t had been necessary to postpone 1t on ac- count of the illness of a sister of Miss Downing. The bride has two brothers in Los Angeles. One of them William C. Downing is secretary and manager of the California Warehouse company and the other, John Downing, is a member of the California Hardware company.
 Mir. and Mrs. Hayden will enjoy a brief honeymoon on the coast after which they will be at home at the res idence of MT. Hayden near Tempe.
