MRS. JOHN ". SCOTT
+. DIED QUITE SUDDENLY
A Final Collapse After Lingering
Critical Illness of Two Months
Saturday Evening

Death came unexpectedly, in fact
80 sudden as to make the sadness we'll
nigh overwhelming to the grief strick-
en- family, when shortly before ten
O'Clock last Saturday evening, the
final end came to suffering and
brought to close the llfe's chapter
of Mrs. John w. Scott, of this city.
The illness of Mrs. Scott, dating
back over the past three months, from
the first was realized by the attending
doctors and family as offering little
if any hope of the patients recovery.
Since the latter part of January a
trained nurse was in constant attend
ance upon Mrs. Scott and everything
possible done by the family and at
tending physician. In the past week
the condition of Mrs, Scott had shown
quite encouraging Improvement, she
being able to sit up in bed for short
time each afternoon.
The deceased, whose maiden name
was Helen r, Penner, was younger
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Peter PEN
ner, pioneer residents west of Lang
don, now residing at Litteheld, Tex
as. She was in her twenty eighth
year and was born in 1889 on the PEN
ner farm nine miles west of Langdon
which continued to be her home until
NJ marriage to Mr.. Scott seven years
ago, in March, 1910. The immediate
family includes the sorrowing husband
and three motherless little ones, M ary,
Percy and Eliane, the latter babe
in arms less than two years old.
Mrs. Scott's passing from this lie is
also mourned by her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Peter Penner, and grown fam
lily of five sisters and two brothers.
The father, who came to his daugh-
ter's bedside from Littlefeld, Texas,
arrived two days before Deaths sum-
mons came.
The funeral held Tuesday afternoon
at half past two O'Clock from the
Methodist church was conducted by
Rev. Geo. c. Lee, the arrangements
being in charge of the Royal Neigh.
bors, deceased having for some time
been affiliated with that order. The
pail bearers were court house officials,
Mr.. Scott for several years icing a
deputy in the offices of the auditor
and treasurer. There were many beau
tiful floral tributes indicating the
high esteem in which Mrs. Scott and
her family were held by the people of
the community in which they make
their home.

Requiem Mass at St. Alphonsus
church yesterday forenoon at ten
O'Clock, Rev. Father Cory being the
ce)ebrant, preceded the interment in
Calvary Cemetery of the remains of
Mrs. Moos, Sr., whose home for a
number of years past has been with
the family of her son, Jacob Moos,
on the latter's farm about six miles
south of Langdon in Perry township.
Deceased is stated as being upwards
of eighty years old at the time of her
passing from this life at a late hour
Monday afternoon following a pro.
tracted illness that had made steadily
increasing inroads into her enfeebled
health during the winter months.
Many of the neighboring friends, in.
Guiding relatives of the family, were
numbered among those who attended
the funeral as q mark of respect to
the bereaved ones and attesting to the
regard felt for one whose venerable
career, made up of long years of use.

tion in the home circles in which she
has mingled since the death of her
husband, will always be borne in mind

Hunted Buffalo Here

ance, and with them would go all theis
happy life. Mr.. Monette declares
the buffalo did the same sort of leave
taking from this county and believes
that instinct made them wise to the
fact that here their days were num-
bered. Being conscious of this thew
were almost frenzied.
Mr.. Monette's brother, Antoine.
also bears testimony 10 this fact anea
also to having hunted buffalo ON the,
ground now occupied by the city of
Langdon, killing many in Cavalies
county, especially on its western side,
as late as the year 1863. In the
same year their party killed many in
the vicinity of Devils Lake. The
deep ravine running through Langdos,
was known to them then as 'SieaA
CouIee, and was favorite campips-
ground for the people of the TEN.
Nations. - For many seasons previ-
GUS, they had as many as three to fous
hundred lodges. They also had great
numbers of ponies and dogs, and a
caravansary of two hunrded or more
vehicles. In addition to this, when
on the march, they used their lodgs.
poles upon which they stretched raw
hides. These were drawn by doga,
or runners, and carried the small chiA~
dren, who were not able to march.
The banks of the ravine afforded pro-
lection from the cold and wind andl
also concealed their whereabouts and
hid them from their enemies. Here
| in the coulee as we'll as in small lakes
near by plenty water could not only
be had for their animals but enougta
to attract plenty of wild fowl and
game for their use. The meeting
place of the Chippewa Tribes and theis,
associates, the half-breed hunters
was between Cando and Devils Lake
Each rival party felt their only safety
was in keeping the band together,
and each was in constant fear Of the,
other. No one dared to get far from
the large company pn either sides
The Chippewa and haif~breed hunters
under Chief Welkie had one greatrl
advantage, they were expert gunners, j
while the Sioux depended largely on
bow and arrow warfare, handling the
guns more clumsily, and in order to
load they had to stop their ponies,
The half.breeds were especially fine,
riders, it is said they could ride and
sleep or fight without rein or bride
if necessary or riding at full speed
they could reload their guns and
keep on firing the powder horn ands
caps they had attached to string
about their necks. AS we have al
ready stated, each side was afraid OF
the other and each kept scouts continr-
ually on the watch lest they should
be surprised and overcome by the
others. In this connection Mr.. Mo-
nette tells an entertaining story OF
the late Gabriel Dumont, familiar
figure for many years in this county
as he sought refuge here after playing
an important part in the Riel rebel
lion in western Canada. Gabriel, as'
we will call him, married the daugh-
ter of Chief Welkie and was with his
father-in-law for many years buffaAH
hunting. He was the scout and after
watching all night saw something OF
which he was suspicious in the cleas-
ing as the grey dawn of the morning

NEW P. M. AT STILWELL

On Mondays mail Mr.. Cyril Radford
received his appointment as postmast-
er at Stilwell, in which office there
has been vacancy since the resig-
nation of ]. ]. Olfert, who recently
removed from that place to Wales.
For the present the management of
the office will be under the active
charge of Mr.. Radford's sister, Mrs.
4. E. Larson. Stilwell is one of the
earliest established po,toffices in Ca
Waller county and although today its
number of patrons served with Uncle
Sans mail matter is somewhat small
with the prospect ahead of Stilwell
being on the map as railroad town
in the near future-the Importance
that this post office may assume in a
sho.t time is one of speculation with
many who view Stilwell as a pro-
speetive townsite when the Concrete
line is extended. The post office re-
ceived its name from its first post
mistress, Mrs. Stilwe]l, who was the
grandmother of the new incumbent,
Mr.. Cyril Radford. 1t is also of in.
terest to note that for most of the
time since it's first being established,
something over thirty years ago, the
office las for the greater part of the
time had as postmaster direct de-
scendant of the first postmistress
whose name it bears.

Judge H. E. Dorval, and Tran
scribed by Mrs. John Mahon.
Continued from last week)

Continued from last week.
When all is in readiness the band
start off no faster than an easy trot,
the buffalo trotting too, this pace is
steadily increased and the buffalo
are on the run and the horses almost
up among them, until the most ad.
vantageous position to the herd is OBJ
tained. The hunters then drop their
reins on the ponies necks to handle
their guns, loading and shooting as
they go and all the time guiding the
pony by the swaying of their bodies.
The herd will never run with the
wind, but will invariably turn and
face the wind. They usually run the
herd six or seven miles, killing as
many as possible. The dust was Of.
ten 80 dense as to make it hard to see
the buffalo although they might
blacken large piece of country. MIR.
Monette tells of returning from one
of these hunting expeditions in 1871.
He and Josette, an elder sister, had
been hired by his brother-i in law,
James Fidney, to hunt with HIM that
year. They had started back to St.
Joe and when one mile below Olga,
on the bank of the river, they saw
two buffalo lying sleeping. They
crawled up and shot one as it lay and
the otner as it attempted to rise.
AS they had all the load their carts
could hold, they covered them up with
fresh raw hides, made scarecrows out
of their coats to frighten the wolves
and went on home. Coming back on
the following day, they found them
all right.
The Carrivoix house stands now very
near the spot where this occurred.
The largest herd of buffalo Nlr. Mo
nette ever saw at one time was in
1875, when he went to winter at the
Milk River. He would not like to
asy he saw millions, - but believes
they did number great many thous-
ands. He compares them to the
shocks in our wheat fields, as far as
the eye could see they covered the
landscape. He and two old hunters
had gotten separated from their party,
when this great herd came in sight.
This was on the line between Mon.
tana and Canada, the animals were
feeding quietly most of the time and
they were not alarmed, but they real
ly suffered for want OF water in those
two days. There were 80 many of
them and they constantly walked in
the river so that the water was riled
and unfit for drinking. On the Sec
ond day and just before leaving, the
buffalo became strangely agitated,
bawling in an unearthl ymanner, biting
with their teeth dead buffalo carcases,
which were still lying on the ground
from previous hunt. These they
trampled with their feet, sometimes
throwing large chunks of fish into the
air. At times they would rub their
head and breast to the ground, max.
ing hideous noises, and in every way
indicating great distress. The old
hunters were in great sorrow because
they knew it was a sign to them of
the leaving of the buffalo. They had
seen these indications in other places
and it always meant their disappear
