first sale and count, the stock would
be driven around a butte and again
sold. Let us say that de Mores was
no fool, but had been taught to keep
accounts. Men who graduate from
French military schools have some

when sold a credit was taken of mum.

shows that all stock purchased was
accounted for excepting 20 head. This
was loss from stock which died af-

end of the killing season. 1t is true
some calves may have died on the
range which were not accounted for.
Eut of the 1900 head of steers pur-
chased for slaughter, the account is
absolutely correct. Time and again
we have been told the "around the

The other story was that he was
robbed by his attorneys and employees.
That his attorneys ever robbed him
is absolutely false. We have seen
the itemized accounts of all moneys
ever paid his attorneys. They were
accounts for legal services, such as
any attorney would demand. One
bookkeeper absconded from Fargo,
but his defalcations were trihing. A
cashier absconded from Duluth, but
his father paid what he took, for the
man was honest enough to leave his
note. If losses were sustained through
his employees, it was more from in.
competency than dishonesty. What

The railroad had reached the Lit.
tie Missouri three years before, and
was not completed to the coast. The
country was noted for game, being a
great winter range for buffalo, but
they had been about all wantonly de.
stroyed by hunters. Elk, mountain
sheep, black and white tailed deer
and beaver were plentiful, while Of
bear there we're few. Besides the
game, the Bad Lands were strange to

strange and wonderful land, as yet
scarcely touched by the hand of civ.

A Motley Crowd.
From the year 1880, when the road
reached Little Missouri, many tour.
lists stopped at the place; some for
hunting and others for sightseeing.
A livery was maintained and hunter
guides with saddle horses to take the
traveller sightseeing or hunting. as
they might wish. Here came Roose-
welt in September, 1883, to hunt for
buffalo. and who succeeded in getting
one of the last of the vast herd
which roamed the land. There came,
too, the young man of romance, the
gambler, the confidence man, and the
horse thief. Men from all parts of
the civilized world visited the Little
Missouri during the years between
1880 and 1888. Some were looking
for location for stock ranches, for

Such were the conditions, when de
Mores arrived in the Bad Lands at
Little Missouri in April, 1888. He
had arrived in what, to him, was a
new world. He was young, full of
romance, adventure and charm, ready
to aid in developing an unsettled
land, such as he had never seen be-
fore. In France he had associated
with persons Of his own class and ma
ti0nality; those whom he had known
from childhood. Here he was among

only associated with persons of edu.
cation, he overlooked the fact that
many with whom he came in contact
here were persons of limited educa-
ton and, while many could talk with
a loud voice, their knowledge Of bust
ness was nil.
De Mores was ambitious, full of en-
ergy and hope and one of the most
generous of mankind. While he had
been reared as and with the nobility,
his generous nature reached out to
mankind of, all conditions. He was
ready and willing to aid all who ap-
peared worthy, and that he was at
times deceived may be true, but the
deception was more often from the
ignorance of the parties than from
dishonesty. If he was badly advised,
the advice was seldom given with
criminal intent. .....
