Basil Claymore One
Of DakOta's Pioneers
Lived on Little Bend, on East Side of
Missouri, Where Maintained
Large Establishment.

PIERRE, 8. D., No, 9-(SpeciaI. hin
the death OF Basil Claymore at the home
OF his son Basil near the mouth of the
Cheyenne river yesterday South Dakota
loses another Of the pioneers who helped
pave the way for the coming OF the farm
ing settlements by his work long before the
country was considered as one in which
agriculture would thrive
Claymore, as he was generally known bv
MS many acquaintance in this part Of
the state, or Clement" as he is called
by his biographers, was born in St. Louis
early in the last century, the dates being
given at from 1922 to 1S42, Claymore himself
saying he came up the river for the fur
company in June, 1S42, when he was 20
years old, and has resided In the Dakotaa
ever since. In that time he worked as a
trapper for the American Fur company at
points along the Missouri as far up as
Fort Benton, but most OF the time in the
territory covered by the Dakotas.
Soon after coming up the river he took
an Indian wife and located his home IN
IAttle Bend on the east side OF the Mis-
souri, opposite the mouth Of the CHEYENNE
river. Here he called home in ali his
wanderings up to the time the days of the
fur trader were no more and when that
part OF the territory was opened 10 settle
ment in 1884 he moved across the Missour,
TO point on the west side OF the river
short distance up stream from the mouth
OF the Cheyenne river, where he has made
his home with his sons since, his home for
nearly seventy years having been at the
mouth OF the Cheyenne river.
But during that time Claymore wandered
over a great part Of the northwest, either
as a trapper or fur trader, or as a govern.
ment scout He trapped in the Black ITlIs
in lS4S, and on the Cheyenne and MORGAN
rivers later. In 1851 he acted as a guide
for General Harvey. and was again an
employe OF the company until 1858, when
he acted as guide for General SuIIv IN
his campaigns against the Sioux in the
Dakota territory. After that he put I'm a
portion OF his time at his home In Little
BEND and acting as Interpreter and guide
for different government parties operating
in this part OF the northwest working on
such expeditions, and making one trip to
Washington In 1870 before settling down
20 the life Of a rancher.
From that time on his home was ALWAYS
open - travellers on the reservation. and
"B, c." as he was called generally on &C
count OF the cattle brand he adopted was
one Of the best known men in central
South Dakota at the time OF the coming Of
settlers In the early eighties. He leaves
an extensive family OF mixed blood chill
dren. most OF them located In the vicinity
OF the old home. and all OF them well to
do in the ownership OF cattle and horses.

Last Article Made

Takes Up Capital Punishment
and War Against 1t.

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov 26.-The AS
ISOLATED Press received early today from
Vladimir Tschertkoff literary agent Of the
late Count Tolstoi, the last article written
by Tolstoi. 1t Is entitled Effective
Means II was written by Tolstoi in the
Optna monastery on November II, shortly
after he began his self-imposed exile from
home. The article was given the Associ-
ated Press by NJ. Tschertkoff at the ex-
press wish of Count Tolstoi for dissemna-
ton to mankind. 1t SAYS in part:
I am naturally anxious to do all can
against evil, which tortures the best spirits
OF our time
4 think the present effective war against
capital punishment does not need forcing.
There is no need for an expression Of
indignation against it's immortality, cruelty
and absurdity. Every sincere, thinking
person, everybody knowing from youth the
sixth commandment needs no explanation
Of its absurdity and immortality There is
no need for descriptions of the horrors Of
executions as they only affect hangmen,
so men will more unwillingly become
executoners and governments will be
obliged to compensate them more dearly
for their services.
Therefore, 1 think that neither the ex-
preston of indignation against the murder
of our fellow men nor the suggestion of
its horrors Is mainly needed, but some
thing totally different.
LAS Kant well says, there are decisions
which cannot be disproved and we must
communicate to the deluded mind knowl-
edge that will enlighten and then the
decisions will disappear by themselves.
What knowledge need we communicate
to the deluded human mind regarding the
lack of indispensableness, usefulness or
justice OF capital punishment in order that

Uncle John White had traded a pref
ty good farm for a pretty good tavern.
He had got to be fifty years old and
tired Of hard work, and he thought
tavern keeping easy and profitable. 1t
wasn't six weeks before he learned to
the contrary. 1t was easy enough. for
he had nothing to do, but he looked In
vain for the profits.
One summers day Uncle John sat
doing and thinking. 1t was a hot day.
and the town was dead. Nothing
buzzed but the flies. Uncie John
would have been asleep in FIVE min
utes more but for the arrival of u
stranger on foot. The arrival was
dusty and ragged. If he wasn't a
tramp then Uncle John never saw one.
He was motiOned TO go around to the
Kitchen for a cold bite. but he sat
down and said:
"A little business talk with you first.
and then I'll take the best room In the
house and eat my meals In tho dining
room"
Il can't hire no tramps," said Uncle
John.
But 1t may be that shall hire you.
Lead the way"
The fellow had a compelling way
with him. Uncle John led the way
upstairs. and he picked up his bundle
and followed. AS they entered n room
be locked the door on them and then
sat down for talk.
When the talk was finished he
brought shears and razor and cut the
strangers hair and shaved him. Then
the old bundle was opened and fair
ly decent suit brought out. What It
lacked was supplied by mine host. Re-
sult-a decent looking guest instead
of disreputable tramp. He appeared
downstairs just after the train came
In, and Mrs. White thought he came
by 1t. So did the villagers who strag-
gled in after supper for n glass of beer
and bit of gossip. John Taylor had
arrived-best room In the house-paid
week in advance-no doubt man OF
means-was mum as to his business

hand. 1t was two weeks before the
nature Of that enterprise was learned.
Uncle John had to sell horse first,
and advertisements had to be written
and placed. 1t was also necessary for
the editor Of the local paper to make a
writeup. The advertisement inserted
in various newspapers read:
"a would be philanthropist stands
ready to make gift Of $1,000 600 for
the best interests of society, but would
like personal advice. No letters. Shall
it be colleges, schools, asylums, hos
pitfalls, homes or gifts to widows?
Then the name of Mr.. Taylor and
the village were given, Uncle John
was running a ten room tavern-that
is, only ten out of the forty rooms
were furnished. He bought, hired and
borrowed furniture for the other thirty
rooms. He bought crockery and cut
lery and hired a cook and waiter.
He ordered extra kegs Of beer and
raised his rates from 81 day to just
double 1t took sand totdo it. Mrs.
White was not let into the secret, and
she almost went crazy.
