The Ronan pioneer. [volume] (Ronan, Mont.) 1910-1970, 1917-06-22

I was Is years old and a pilgrim
when first met Jake Hoover, and a
man never needed a friend worse
than I did.
Jake was still a young man. but he
had spent many years in the noun
tains, hunter, trapper, prospector,
and an all-around mountain man. l
had come to Montana few months
before with man much older than
l was, and we did not get along we'll
together. He did not understand a
boys nature and was not backward
about telling me that was no good
He finally told me that l could not
live in Montana, but he didn't call
the turn, for I'm here yet and still
living.
One day I quit him and went 10 d
man who had promised me job
herding horses, but when l reached
the stage station, which was near the
present town of Utica, found that
my supposed friend, the man whom
I had just left, had beaten me out Of
the job by telling the station man
that I wasn't worth my grub. The
station man said he did not want a
kid of that sort around, so there was
nothing for me to do but drift. All
I owned in the world was brown
mare and pinto pony. 1 rode the
pony and used the mare to pack my
bed, which was very light. With no
money or grub, life did not seem
joyful, and I felt mighty blue, but
leaving the stage station I rode
short distance up the Judith river and
made camp. While l was wondering
where my next meal was coming
from, a rider with several pack
horses appeared and made his camp
on the river near mine. I recognized
him as Jake Hoover, whom I had
seen several times. After getting his
packs off he strolled over to my camp
and looked it over.
A Mountain Man.
AS I remember him then, Jake
Hoover was of medium height, with
thick, curly, brown hair which he
wore quite long, mustache and sew
eral months growth of beard. His
eyes, gray and deep-set, saw every
thing at a glance. He was seldom
afoot, but when he walked, travelled
with his toes out. He wore light,
soft hat; blue flannel shirt, duck
pants and boots. His spurs were
short shanked, with broad heel
bands. He never used a cartridge
belt, but instead plain leather strap
