Although l never was a hunter

four together and the noise they
made was not a peaceful song.

and had spotted the limb l
would sit on, but in the midst
of the excitement, when one bear
fell not more than 20 feet away from
him, Jake looked about as startled as
il he was grinding coffee.
Old timers who ought to know,
claimed Jake was the best hunter in
Montana. He knew the ways and
habits of all the wild creatures in the
mountains. In those days | was a
youngster with fairly keen sight, but
Jake would see game where there
was nothing visible to me, and he
was always right about it. Sometimes

A Bear Story.
Jake was very fond of animals, and
had many pet deer around his cabin.
He used to put out salt to attract
them, but l never knew him to kill a
deer at lick or near his home. He
also had colony of beaver above
his cabin where he often went in
the evenings to watch them work He
told me many hunting stories, and l
remember one bear story, particular
ly. Jake said he was prospecting,
and when he returned to his camp
one evening he found that a Silver
Tip had visited him and pair of
gum boots were missing. Jake de-
clared that all that summer and fall
he saw gum boot tracks in the noun
tains, and as there was no sign of
camps or other humans, he said it
must have been the bear wearing the
boots.

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

Jake's cabin was situated at the
upper end of the first big park, close
to the creek. This cabin was the
work of mountain men, made with an
axe and an augur and not nail in it.
Instead, wooden pegs and pins were
used. The roof and floor were OF
dirt, with a stone fireplace. There
were, in reality, two cabins joined to-
gether by a shed, the second cabin
being used as hidehouse. There
was but one window, composed OF
three panes of glass, set lengthwise in
the logs. In the main cabin, besides
the fireplace, was bunk made of
poles, filled with fir boughs. There
was also a rough table made Of pine
poles, hewed flat on the upper side.
A stool or two of the same rough
make about completed the furniture.
To a man who loved the mountains
nothing more was needed.
Since then I have been in the best
hotels in Europe and America, but no
food they produced could touch that
that came from Jake's frying pan.
The latter. with coffee pot and camp
kettle in which beans and dried fruit
were cooked, completed the kitchen
equipment. He could make better
bread in a frying pan than high
priced chefs can in modern range.

round mountain man. and he knew

was soon wrecked.
On their hands and knees the men
crawled to the station, Duggan in the
lead. The air was good and some of
the men grew stronger as they ap-
preached the station. Those who
hesitated were encouraged by those
in front.
They rang for the cage. 1t was
like voice from the grave to hear
the signal. Groups on the surface
acted as if electrified. The word
spread about and General Manager
Brady donned helmet and rescue
crew hurried down the mine.
AS soon as the men got off the
cage there was a cheer. Some of the
rescued men we're crying, others
others laughing and they embraced
the rescuing squad.

you can come with me, but trade that

WHEN INDIANS KILLED
THOUSANDS OF BUFFALO

In excavating for the grading and
double tracking of the Great North
ern railway two miles west of Havre
the contractors uncovered layer al
least foot in thickness of buffalo
bones. The smaller bones had
crumbled into the native dust but
there were literally thousands of the
larger thigh bones and joints in a
fairly good state Of preservation.
These were found two feet below the
present surface of the ground. No
one could satisfactorily account for
their presence until DR.. Almas came
along and called attention to the fact
that just above them was large cut
bank. 1t is his theory that the In
dians, perhaps $50 years ago, drove
herds of buffalo over the edge of
the cut bank and to their death. 1t
was their primitive and easy way of
securing a supply of meat without the
expenditure of energy and ammuni-
ton. The bones, he thinks, were al
lowed to lie undisturbed where the
animals fell.
The Ronan pioneer. [volume] (Ronan, Mont.) 1910-1970, 1917-06-22

Jake was a skin hunter, but not
wasteful, as he sold all his meat to
the few scattered ranchmen that
lived along the Judith river. He had
just got rid of load of deer and elk
meat, and was now returning to his
mountain home on the South Fork of
the Judith.
Early next morning we broke camp
and started for the mountains.
The Judith basin in those days was
thinly settled. Where Lewistown
stands today was Reeds Fort, trad
ing post owned by Bowles and Reed.
Philbrook was then known as the
Lower Crossing, and a man OF the
name Of Bill Clegg ran a saloon there.
Utica did not exist then, and the prin-
cipal settlement on the Upper Judith
was the mining camp of Yogo, which
was then year or two past it's glory,
but was still inhabited by a few min
ers and prospectors. Pig Eye basin
was then the home of Red Mike,
who ran trading post; Ettien broth
ers, and Babcock and David. That
was all the population. A man named
Gaver also had a small ranch near
the foothills on the river.
AS we rode along I had chance to
size Jake up. and he told me some
thing about himself. He rode horse
that he called by the beautiful name
OF Cuts a heavy vet bay with
