KIT carson of the northwest. died In
the odd Fellows home at Dell Rapids,
after a prolonged illness. We was born
in ndian in 1899. and his life was filled
WIN thrilling incidents which would
have furnished the basis for Il novel.
IN 1876 he located in the Black Hills,
arriving soon after the first white men
reached the Hills to remain following
the discovery of gold in Deadwood
gulch and other sections of the Hills.

mental In going over the route-thcn
exceedingly dangerous because of

On July =. 1877. Bradley and four
other men started from Spearfish in a
northwesterly direction across tho
Belle Fourche river. After travelling
about 200 miles through the Indians
infested wilderness. frequently chang
ing their course and enduring great
h~ardships, the explorers at last came
upon he old Bismarck trail. On their
return to ~SpeartiSh an estimate based
on the knowledge they had gained was
made. but because of the vast amount
OF work necessary the project OF OPEN
ing the road to Bismarck was tempor-
arily abandoned. but afterward was
carried through.
Bradley was a crack shot With rifle
or pistol. File possessed a fearless spirit
and was the natural leader in any ex-

Hills which called for nerve and abil-
