''BR0NC" STARTS SUIT
FOR $1,000 DAMAGES

Hjalmar Woien is not a broncho
tWister.
A year or so ago he arrived in
Montana and went to work for the
Gillette Ranch company of Hogan as
farm hand.
One day last August he climbed on
a certain saddle horse on the ranch.
He lasted about minute and a half.
Last week he brought suit against
the Gillette ranch for $1,000 dam
ages on the allegation that the horse
was locoed, and that as result of
being unloaded by he animal he was
permanently injured. lhe suit was
filed in Helena.
This calls to mind the fact that
times have changed, for in the old
days the ranch hand took his own
risks when he undertook to ride bad
horses, and "bronc twisting" was a
profession. 1t also is a reminder that
farmers who wish protection against
claims for injuries by employees can
get insurance from the state at a
moderate cost by applying to the
state industrial accident board at
Helena.

low Hand, he felt very much at home
and in a reminiscent mood, and he
narrated a number of interesting ex-
periences of the early buffalo hunting
days, when he acted as guide for such
celebrities as Sir John Pender who
built the first telegraph systems for
England, India and other British
colonies; Sir John Morton, of the ia
nous English banking house of Nor

attempt to establish a beef packing
industry; Count Fitz James. a cous-
in of the latter and noted soldier in
the French army, and a dozen Others
The first ranch owned by the Eat
on Brothers was the famous Custer
Trail ranch, on Davis creek, North
Dakota, about 35 miles east of the
Montana line and in the heart of the
bad lands. 1t took it's name from the
fact that it was on the trail taken by
Custer and his command in pursuit
of the hostile Sioux and Cheyennes in
1876, which resulted in Clusters de-
feat on the Little Big Horn and the
wiping out of his entire command.
Some Big Ranches.
The present Eaton ranch was Sc
cured by the Eaton Brothers 13 years
ago, and although today it's $500
acres make holding of consider
able size, to Howard Eaton it seems
like a modest enough sort of estab-
lishment. For instance he said,
"there is the ranch in Wyoming of
my neighbor, Ed Dana, who has A.
600 acres and ranges herd of 5000
Hereford cattle, with a $4,000 bull
at the head of the herd. Also, there
was the big ranch of Arthur G. Heide-
hooper, who used to go buffalo hunt
ing with me. His place in Dakota
comprised 10000 acres, and when he
sold out to Pabst, the Milwaukee
brewer, a few years back, he also dis
posed of $500 horses. The land and
stock brought over half a million dol
lars"
Howard Eaton knew personally
nearly every survivor of the Custer
fight, and has gone over the
Custer battlefield several times with
officers of the Seventh cavalry, Gus

ter's regiment, and with Indians and
scouts who took part in the battle. so
that he probably has a better knowl-
detail of the fighting than any other
man.
Has Fine Library.
Eaton has made close study Of
the Indian fights of the western
plains, and there is not scrap of any
consequence with whose details he is
not thoroughly familiar. He has
remarkably fine library of western
historical books, which he has been
collecting for years. Many of these.
containing valuable information
about this history of the Rocky
Mountain country, are out of print,
and consequently very rare now. He
has also a collection of valuable In
dian and other western relics. Near
his first ranch, the Custer Trail
ranch, he picked up numerous relics
including Spencer rifle and bugle
ried pursuit of the Indians which
ended in the Custer fight
The Eaton ranch is an ideal place
TO Spenu summer vacation, as guests
are provided with their own saddle
horses, which they retain during their
stay at the ranch. Every morning the
cowboys run in the bunch of saddle
horses, and any guest who wishes to
use his or her horse during the day
has the animal roped and saddled.
There are never-ending series of
rides into the mountains nearby, and
fine fishing and other sport for those
who enjoy it

Managers Yield and the Men
Gain Goodly Portion of
Their Demands.
THE TENSION RELIEVED
Adamson Basic Eight-Hour Day viii
Go into Effect Regardless OF the
Decision of the Supreme
Court.

New York.-The threatened ma
tonal railway strike has been called
off, 1t being announced officially by
an official of the conference commit
tee of railroad managers at 12:45
o'clock Monday. morning that the
brotherhood had been granted prac-
ticaliy everything provided in the
Adamson law.
The decision reached by the man
ayers at their midnight conference
means that the brotherhoods have
won AN important victory although it
does not bring them all their original
demands.
The men will get their present pay
under the agreement. These conces-
sions on the part of the managers are
virtually what the employees con-
tended they would gain under the
Adamson law If it were declared CON
s~titutional.
The formal letter in which the set
tlemnt was made was signed by Elisha
Lee, chairman of the managers com
m1ttee, and was as follows:
liz hubAOAl01 O1lolo pa GlPiLdLCQ
by events of which we heard Sunday
afternoon the national conference COM
mite of railroads joins with you in
the conviction that neither at home
nor abroad should there be fear or
hope that the efficiency operations of
the railroads of the country will be
hampered or impaired.
Therefore you are authorized to
assure the nation there will be no
ance we hereby authorize the commit
tee of the council of national defense
to grant to the employees who are
about to strike whatever adjustment
your committee deems necessary to
guarantee the uninterrupted and eff
ficient operation of the railroads as an
Indispensable arm of national de-
fense."
h announcement of the managers
that they had yielded apparently
came as a surprise to the brotherhood
chiefs, for they were in bed when
summoned to the conference room.
Earlier in the evening there had bee:l
a distinctly pessimistic feeling as to
the prospect for averting a strike. Up
to that hour the railroads had refused
to make the concessions granted and
the b~rotherhoods had stood fast to
their determination to strike unless
they won their demands either by the
supreme court declaring the Adamson
law constitutional or by their en-
ployers granting them the e~ight-hour
day.

ONE VIEW OF A PEssIMlsT
Somewhat Severe Description, But
Most People Will Agree That II
Is Largely Truth.

A pessimist is a son of the man who
didn't believe there was any such
thing as electricity.
He is an offspring of the man who
was sur that the horseless carriage
would never come, and a nephew OF
the man who was willing to bet that
men would never fly.
A pesSimist is a direct descendant
of the man who was sure that wireless
telegraphy was a FOOLS dream and a
submarine merely the creation of a fc.
ton writer's brain.
The pessimist's ancestry scoffed al
the telephone, the typesetting machine,
the 20-story building, a~nesthetics and
every forward step the optimists have
taken for the betterment of human
life.
If the pessimists of the past had
been right, men would still be living in
caves and trying to get their meals
with clubs and flint arrows. And evi.
IDENTIFY they died without publicly con-
Tossing their mistakes, for their pes
