COLD TURKEY
GHOST STORY
J. NJ. FOLEY RELATES A TALE OF
THE OLD RANCHING DAYS BE-
FORE BOWMAN WAS ON THE
MAP.

The following from the pen OF
James Foley relative to trip into the
Bowman country before the settlers
came, will be Of interest to our read.
ers, many of whom will learn for the
first time that there is supposed to be
a "ghost" on the Cold Turkey:
"Twenty-six years since, coming
September, the writer made trip
forty miles south to the Huidekooper
horse ranch, with Geo. Woodman
manager. The ranch was located
eight miles from the Little Missouri
on Deep Creek. During this visit a
farther trip south, with Mr.. Woodman
was made, and camp was made on
Cold Turkey creek, a few miles from
where Bowman, in Bowman county, is
now located Here we hunted ducks
while Woodman hunted horses. The
| lakes in the creek were almost cover
ed with Mallards. With twenty three
shells we secured twenty-five ducks.
| At this time not one resident lived in
all of what is now Bowman county.
AT our camping place were two old
tumble down buildings, one had a
dwelling, the other a stable. The
dwelling was almost wholly destroyed,
| but the stable was in better repair.
On the return of Woodman and his
party, supper was ready and beds
made down in the stable After sup
per Woodman asked me if l was
afraid of ghosts; that the barn was
haunted. He then told me that the
place we were at was what had been
an old time camp of the HashKnife
Cattle company; that during the hard
winter of 1861 two men had been
stationed to ride the line during the
winter; that the snow fall was so
great that no line riding could be
done; that not only did all the cattle
die. but the horses also, excepting the
ones in the stable. At this line camp
were two men, one of whom became
very i'll and was in need of medical
assistance. The nearest ranch was
twenty miles away. 1t was declded
that the man who was we'll should
make an attempt to reach the ranch,
|but after trying all day and night ne
found that he was only a few miles
from where he started, and returning
home, he told the sick man that ne
would try again, when the SICK man
begged him not to leave him alone
again; that he would rather die than
pass another lonely night such as ne
had. He died and his body was placed
in the stable to freeze until spring,
when it was buried near the place he
died. The belief among many was
that the place was haunted; that the
dead man was seen riding over the
prairie on a white horse, and when
an attempt was made to overtake the
rider, both rider and horse would dis
appear. This was fully believed by
some of the old cowboys. 1t might
have been true. We do not know, but
we do not believe.
"According to the belief of the old
Egyptians, everyone who came into
the world had an invisible double. We
will confess that we never fully under
stood the doctrine; but this does not
make it untrue. May we not all have
doubles, which the Christians call the
soul?"

YEAR WITHOUT
SUMNER
IN 1916 BIRDS FROZE IN THEIR
NESTS AND CORN REFUSED TO
MATURE BECAUSE THERE
WAS NO WARMTH.

Magazine of American History: The
wear 1916 was called the year without
summer. AS the spring time ap-
preached, nothing in the weather in
Dictated the return of the seed time,
much less the harvest. Shows, heavy
rains and cold winds prevailed inces-
sanity and during the entire season
the sun arose each morning as thru a
cloud of smoke, red and rayless, she'd
ding little light or warmth end set
ting at night as behind thick cloud
of Vapor, leaving hardly trace of its
having passed over the earth. The
frost never went off the ground until
about the last of May.
The farmers planted their crops,
but the seed would hardly sprout, and
when at last it came to the surface
there was not warmth enough to cause
anything to grow. During the month
of June young birds were frozen to
death in their nests and so great was
their destruction that for at least
three years after very few birds visit
ed the colder parts Of the northern
states. The woods and forests SEEM
ed deserted by them. Small fruit such
as the Juneberry ripened and rotted
on the trees in the forest because OF
no birds to eat them.
Crops that required warmth, like
corn, generally failed to mature, and
only here and there in few places
that seemed especially protected did
an ear ripen. The people, after re-
peating hopes of change in the
weather, settled down in almost dis
pair. Large spots appeared on the
sun, as seen through the smoky at
mosphere, distinctly visible with the
naked eve; frosts prevailed every
month the whole year and almost
daily, and in the few places where
corn ripened was the only supply of
seed for the next year, and it was held
at an exceedingly high figure with
now and then an exception.
