'OLD-TIME CATTLEMAN
IN ASYLUM 43 YEARS

Lloyd Heating, one of the origina
Springs at the opening of the insti-
tuition 43 years ago, is dead. He
originally came from Choteau.
Heating was an expert cattleman
Before he was confined to Warm
Springs as suffering from the form
of insanity which imagines persecu-
ton, he was a cattle buyer. His
canny judgment had made him ia
nous among cattlemen all over the
state. Even after he was an inmate
of the insane asylum, his mind was
clear on the good and bad points of
a steer, and he was employed much
of the time by the institution to go
out over the state and purchase
herds.

FOREST RANGERS STORY
RIVALS OLD TRAGEDIES

A story rivaling the tragedies of
the old gold trail of 40 was told in
Missoula a few days ago by T. R.
Hodson, forest ranger at the Powell
country station in the snow-bound
wilds of Idaho just across the Mon
tana border. Hodson arrived in Mis-
soula with the body of his wife, who
died of pneumonia.
The ranger and his wife had been
snow bound for months in the little
cabin, and owing to the depth of the
SHOWS physicians were unable to get
to the stricken woman. She died
without medical aid and her body
was carried to Lolo Hot Springs, a
distance of "a miles, by seven men,
who took turns carrying the body
over the almost unbroken trail.
From Lolo Hot Springs the body
was brought to Missoula. Hodson
came west with his bride five years
ago from Galena, Ill.
Hodson, grief-stricken, wandered
through the forest and finally en-
countered two trappers Realizing
the condition of the trail and the
depth of the snow the trappers went
to Lolo and got four other volunteer
woodsmen to go back to theranger's
cabin and convey the body of his wife
to Lolo. Placing the body in a
crude litter the 'stalwart trappers,
after hours of perilous travel over
an unbroken trail, reached Lolo Hot
Springs, and from there the body
was brought to Missoula by automo-
bile.

|. W. W. LEADERS, FAMILY
IN BUTTE Is DESTITUTE

Declaring that she and her two
children had been left without food
or the common necessities of life,
Mrs. A. S. Embree, wife of an 1. w.
w. leader, whose testimony took pro-
minent place in the inquest over the
death of Thomas Manning, sought
the aid of Silver Bow county recently.
County officials, after an investi-
cation, decided that the family was
in actual want and it was decided to
extend to them at least temporary
aid.
A. S. Embree was arrested recent
ly at Wallace, Idaho, it is said. He
is held on charge of criminal syn
dicalism and in his possession was
found large quantity of radical lit
erature. Embree was among those
who, in testifying at the Manning in
quest, supported the theory of fore
ing the employers to give up their
holdings by the slowing down of the
workers.

PINNED SEVEN HOURS
UNDER AUTO; RESCUED

Recently when the Rev. Father De-
Mers was returning from Zortman to
the mission after having held services
at Zortman, the car stalled on a hill
near Lanausky, and being unable to
hold it with the brakes it started
backward down the hill and over a
steep embankment.
The car turned over several times
and when it finally stopped Father
DeMers was pinned under the car and
was compelled to lie In that uncom-
Portable position with the gasoline
dripping over him for a period of
seven hours before help came.
1t was not until late in the after
noon, after Father DeMers had lain
there for seven hours, that Mrs. Kol-
chalk and her daughter, who live at
Landusky, were passing that way and
noticed the wreck and heard cries for
help. They were unable to lift the
car alone SO they summoned Mrs.
Kolchak's SON, who lives a short dis
lance away. The three of them were
just able to raise the car up enough
so that they could drag Father De
Mers out

The first authenticated discovery
of gold in the Black Hills was made
by William T. Mckay in the summer
of 1874 in the valley of the French
creek, about three miles from the
present site of Custer City, or, to be
more exact, at point about two and
a half miles below Custer City court
house.

county bank of Miles City has just
purchased an authentic photograph
of the Custer exploring expedition,
which went into the Black Hills

Capture of Hunter
"All the night Hunter pretended tt
be asleep, but he had removed 6
soldier Overcoat from its place as g
blanket on top of the bed under the
covers with him. But the telltale
overcoat was on the bed when the
men came there. Just at daylight
the visitors prepared to leave, with
out stopping to eat.
after the visitors discussed the
situation and determined they had
the man they wanted, they all came
in the cabin and ranged themselves
around it with their guns ready. The
| leader went to the side of Hunters
bed, laid one of his arms across Hun
ter and at the same time pulled the
cover off Hunters face and said:

and be prepared for the road, which
he did, protesting all the time his in

Boy Dragged to Death

Willie, the 12-year-old son of Mr.
and Mrs. Chris Brinkman was drag
ged to death by a saddle horse which
he was riding, on their ranch near
Bear Springs. No one witnessed the
tragedy, but when the mutilated body
was found, one shoe was missing and
as he had been riding to bring in
some horses, he must have fallen
from the saddle in some way and his
foot became fast in the stirrup. He
had beer dead for some time when
the body was found. Mr.. and Mrs.
Brinkman lost their other two boys

of the old settlers here remember the
expedition and are somewhat familiar
with the details of the adventure.
With the photograph is attached
the legend giving the history of the
expedition into the Black Hills.
In the summer of 1874, Lieut..
George A. Custer, who was killed at
the Little Big Horn, June rs, 1876,
was directed by Gen. Phil Sheridan
ITO organize an expedition at Fort
Abraham Lincoln, near the present
site of Bismarck, for the purpose of
laying out route to the Black Hills
country and exploring the same as
much as possible in the brief period
allotted, 60 days.
The command took the route by
way of the Cave hills, thence to the
Little Missouri river, the Sun Dance
hills and Inyan Kara, from whence
it bore east to Cold Spring creek val
ley, named the Floral valley by Gus
ter, passing down Castle creek IL
miles and thence across Spring
creek to the valley of French creek,
camping on the present site of Gus
ter City in the latter part of July.
From thence the command moved
down the creek about three miles
and encamped for a period of five
days, during which time the first dis
covery of gold was made in the gra-
vel of the creek by William T. Nc
Kay, an experienced miner, who pan
ned out small Quantity of the pre-
cious metal, it being the first we'll
authenticated discovery of gold in the
Black Hills. The exact spot. Ross
states, was at a point about two and |
half miles below the Custer City
courthouse.
The command afterward visited !
Castle Rapid and Box Elder creeks, |
on all of which small quantities of |
gold were found, and returned to |
Fort Abraham Lincoln, after visiting
the Bear Butte, reaching the fort
just so days from the date of set
ting out.
The expedition was accompanied
by H. N. Ross, since deputy sheriff
of Custer county, and William T.
Mckay. Ross furnishes an interest
Ing account of the expedition. Il
The command consisted of ten
troops Of the Seventh cavalry, three
companies of infantry, a battery of /

PIONEER a WITNESS OF THE
HANGING OF BILL HUNTER,
LAST OF Pl W6N7GMER'S MEM

How quick and sure justice was
meted out in Montana in the old
days, is told in the story which w.
p. Emery has written for the His
torical ociety of Montana, in his
account Of the escape, capture and
trial of 'Bin" Hunter, who was
wanted by the Vigilantes In the
early days Of Virginia City.
Bill Hunter was the last of Plum
mer's men to be executed. Hi
troubles started and ended in the fal
of 1868. Emery had left the CAM
and gone to the Gallatin valley fol
the winter when Hunter drifted in OF
foot with both feet frozen, after
eluding the Vigilante guards which
had been placed around the mining
camp and had walked through snow
and cold to the Gallatin.
It was at the time of the Barney
Hughes stampede for reported rich
gold diggings and Emery with sew
eral companions was in camp search
ing for Hughes trail to follow to the
fabulously rich gulch he was suppos-
ed to have discovered. They gave up
the search and returned to their
cabin in a snowstorm and Emery
says:
when we reached the cabin there
was a man there that did not know,
but my partner had worked on adj
joining claims in Spring gulch, a
tributary of Alder gulch. 1 soon
learned who he was and knew he was
one of the men wanted by the Vigil
lantes. The stranger was Bill Hun
ter.
Hunter knew that we recognized
him and talked to US without reserve
but at no time acknowledged his
guilt. He talked with Kelley, my
companion, as if he was his friend
and asked Kelley to send him horse
from Gallatin as he was going from
our place. That. day and the next he
told US how he escaped from Virginia
City.
Escaped From Vigilantes

GIRL VICTIM OF
MORPHINE RING
POLICE OFFICERS BY
GIRL PRISONER
Became an Addict to Drug Habit
Only Five Months Ago; Now Must
Use Large Quantity Morphine or
Cocaine or Suffer; Sad Story of
Youthful Depravity.

Answering the appeal of heart
broken mother that they find hel
daughter who had been absent from
home for a week, Chief of Police
Murphy and Captain O'Donnell OF
Butte arrested the girl in a roomine
house on the edge of Butte's China
town, where she had registered as
the wife of Chong Wing. Following
the arrest of the girl, Chong Wing
| Long, alias Lee Lynn, alias Wing
Lee, and Louie Quon were arrested
on a vagrancy charge pending con-
sultation with federal officers, when
the men will probably be charged
with violation of the. laws dealing
with the drug traffic.
Six months ago Margaret McMul-
len, admitted to be an assumed name,
began frequenting Chinese restaur-
ants, according to her. story. She
was young and attractive and des-
pite the inroads that the drugs have
made upon her system, she is still
pretty. Her attractiveness brought
her into contact with other girls who
frequented these places, and when
her friendships had been cemented
she learned that her companions were
addicts of the drug habit
Less than five months ago, while
she was still under 10 years of age,
she was initiated into the circle of
Slowly the powerful drugs
made inroads on her system, until,
at last, she was unable to resist the
longing for them. Surcease from
pain and mental ills was
purchased at nominal cost at first,
but as the drugs permeated her sys-
tenn she developed an Unsuitable de-
sire for more and more. At the time
of her arrest she was buying five or
six dollars worth of morphine and |
cocaine daily, according to the story |
she told to the police.
Her inability to satisfy her craving, |
t is said, led to association with Chi
lese. Posing as the wife of one of |
hem, she was able to get whatever
lrugs she needed. 1t was then that
he disappeared from home.
The girls mother is a hard-work-
ng woman. She did not know of the
life that her daughter was leading
nd the drugs had not sapped the vi
atty of the girl sufficiently to be
oted except in the unnatural condi-
ion of her eyes, symptom common
o all addicts. Q
Chong Wing Long, the Chinaman
Tho is said to have furnished the ,
irl with drugs, was fined 5000, the
init for vagrancy.

moved north, and encamped on Castle
and Little Rapid creeks.
The miners found gold on all these
three streams and also on Box Elder
creek. Near one of the camps, Cen
eral Custer killed large cinnamon
bear, and the photographer of the ex-
petition, William H. Illingworth of
st. Paul, took a picture of the gen.
eral sitting on the bear.
The expedition left the hills on its
return between Box Elder and Elk
creeks, going by way of Bear Butte,
where it camped one day, thence
moving to the Little Missouri, and
thence by General Stanley's trail to
Fort Abraham Lincoln.
Custer City, first called Stonewall,
had it's name changed August 10,
1876.
Since that time it Is stated that the
development of mining in those hills
has resulted in the erection of one of
the largest gold mining establish
ments in the world, that of the
Homestake mines in Lead, just above
Deadwood, where millions of dollars
in value of bullion has been removed
from the earth.
The writer recalls a visit some
years ago to Rapid City, where in q
hearing before the United States land
office, two witnesses, brothers, of
Scotch descent, were witnesses as to.
the difference In physical land values
wherein a contest had been entered
as to whether 1t was more valuable
for mineral or agricultural purposes.
1t was related by these brothers
that their holdings consisted Of GER

which they panned gold, this exercise
being their only means of livelihood.
