they could be sold in the markets

EARLY HISTORY
Editor of the PRESS:

Editor of the PRESS:
Some very interesting things have
taken place in this particular region
west of the Missouri river since the
Northern Pacific railway was built.
Such men as Jack Leonberger and E.
F. Messersmith, both the McGinleys,
Jack McDonough, Mike Lally, Mrs.
Leonberger and a few other people
that were here with the first rails
of the railway, are the most interest
ing people to interview, but there are
others that came later that have
many "reminiscences of their earlier
days in the country that read like
pretty lurid fiction.
There were such men as Jeff Nc
Donald and E. G. Paddock here be-
fore any of the above mentioned
people and there were Emmett Broth
ers, Walter Sterland, Miles Vineyard,
Frank Morgan. Jeff Mcdonald
named the "Killdeer" Mountains as
early as the survey of the N. P. Ry.
E. G. Paddock was on the Little Mis-
souri, river as early as 1869. He was
