SMALL ONES HAVE CHANGE

And because speed and brains have become mighty assets in the football world. the smaller colleges have been able to come to the fore. They don't have many beefy men to draw from in those little institutions like Georgia Tech Center, Penn State, Washing ton and Jefferson and others, where the enrolment is only few hundred, But they have fast men there, and they've drafted those speedy boys for football service,
 The result is that football has he come a game where speed brains and trickery are the vital things. And be- cause the small colleges are as plep- tifuly supplied with men who possess them as are Yale. Harvard, Princeton and the others, every combat now adays is a tough one for the big col leges, with the result in doubt until the last whistle has been blown.
 And that is as it should be; that's the spirit and the principle of contest (Copyright, 1920. by King Features Syn

Big" Anthony, the human dynamo and champion athlete of the Eighty second division, will probably fill J Joe Bennett's shoes at right tackle. This will be the only change in the Wildcat line, while in the backfield there will also be one change. Roy Echos, who has been playing such great ball at the fullback berth, will give way to Jack Frost Fred Tanner
 Virginia is ready for the game, and they have one of the best elevens that has ever represented the Old Dominion. Harvard defeated the Virginia boys, 24 to 0, last Saturday.
 Tn followers of the Red and Black believe that the Wildcats are going to take the measure of the Virginia boys Saturday The fact being that the Old Dominion eleven is playing on it's own field will give them d slight advantage but, at that, it will not be sufficient to stem the tide, of Georgia's speedy backs and her smashing and crashing

Tigers Look For Big Battle
 From 'Nooga
By c. " UNDERWOOD

Sewanee, Tenn, November l 4.-(Special. - Tuesday was an off day in the Tiger camp, due to the fact that mid-term quizzes are on and the men were still sore from the Ala bama game.
 Wednesday, however, real work in preparation for the game with the Uni versity of Chattanooga on Saturday was undertaken.
 Chattanooga comes to the mountain this year, and unless all signs fail the Moccasins will give the Tiger hard struggle. Tho overwhelming victory of Chattanooga last Saturday shows that Coach Sike Williams has a good scoring machine. Sfke is Sewanee product, and it goes without saying that he will do all he can to hang Tiger scalp at his telt-
 N0OGANS INTERESTED Chattanoogan4 will be more than us- ualIy interested in the game. and no doubt number of them will journey to the mountain to witness the affair, as Virgil Miller, who holds down one of tbe Tiger ends, is a Chattanooga boy, and Bill Coughlan. the Tiger chieftain, is looked upon by many as belonging as much to Chattanooga as to Birmingham Speaking of this boy Miller, he cer- tainly played great game in Birming- ham against Alabama This is his first year as a Purple player, and he is going to be one of the hest ends in the south in few years. He has the weight and the speed and the grit. and he knows the game. And that's enough said, thank you.
 Sewanee and Chattanooga have not met on the gridiron since 191S In 1915 the Moccasins held the Tigers to a scoreIess Ae, in a hard-fought battle.

of the line at the request of the Cana
dian authorities told a different
story. They declared that they fol-
lowed this band of Crees from Fort
Benton to recover their stolen horses
and that when they approached the
camp to claim their property, they
were attacked and merely defended
themselves in the fight that followed.
They admitted, however, having pur-
sued some of the Indians and shot
them down after the fight to teach
them lesson.
The witnesses at Helena testified
that Little Mountains band had not
been near Fort Benton and had none
of the stolen horses; that these In
dians were entirely innocent and
had had no trouble of any kind with
the whites.
1t was the Cypress Hills massacre
and the establishment of whisky
trading posts by Montanans at Fort
StanGoff and Fort Whoopup in Can
ada that caused the Canadian gov
eminent to organize and send the
Mounted police into the northwest.
The people of Fort Benton and nor
thern Montana found the mounted
police the best protection against
lawIessness that existed along the
border at that time.

Here is Flathead lake, Montana S
freshwater inland sea, in repose. 1t
is the largest body of fresh water,
aside from our co-partnership with
Canada in the Great Lakes, in the
United States. 1t is the centerpiece
of the beautiful Flathead country,
where nature has staged one of her
best efforts. Montanans are just
beginning to appreciate it and sum-
mer homes are beginning to mark
its shore line. Time will be when
every available foot of this shore
line will be without price.
A good motor road leads from.
Missoula into the Flathead coun-
try, traversing one of the best agri-
cultural sections of the state. 1t is
a country rich in verdure, and res-
ponds prolifically to cultivation.
Much of it is adapted to fruit Gull
ture. Poison is the southern met
ropolis of the lake and because of
its location is certain to develop in
to place of much consequence.
There is no more appealing trip
than to go by boat from Poison to
Somers, Kalispell's lake port on
the northern shore. Two steam
boat lines ply between these places.
Kalispell is only short run from

leaving their lodges to go to nearby
creek for water, they began picking
off the Crees with their rifles. The
witnesses stated that the whites had
so disposed themselves that they
commanded every approach to the
Cree camp. The Indians, hearing
the shooting, ran out from their
lodges and were shot down as fast
as they appeared. Neither women
nor children were spared, and the
witnesses stated that the slaughter
was sickening. There were forty
lodges, containing upward of 200 In
dams, and it was said that only a
handful escaped. AS the number of
Indians decreased, the whites closed
in on them at short range and finish
ed off those who were left and the
wounded The testimony at the hear
ing at Helena was to the effect that
after the chief, Little Mountain, had
been killed, his principal wife was
outraged by several of the whites and
then shot and left for dead. She re-
covered, however. The head of the
chief was hacked off and stuck on
pole in the middle of the camp.
Some of the men in the party were
whisky traders, who traded whisky
to the Indians for wolf pelts and fur.
The party we're said to have fortified
themselves for the attack by drinking
much of their whisky. The witnesses
said they behaved like demons.

MONTANA PIONEER HELPED
CAPTURE JEFFERSON DAVIS

! Mr.. Bailey has lived in Montana
most of his years since 1870. He
also had a few thrills when he came
to the state and he says his earliest
remembrance of those he met fixes
Judge John ]. Tattan indelibly in
his mind, for Tattan, then a young
lawyer, was at Fort Benton, and
while he was not meeting the boats
looking for business, he was not bur-
dened with business, being like most
struggling young lawyers, not much
bothered with clients and having
penty of time to get acquainted. And
getting acquainted with Bailey meant
fee of $25 for Tattan little later.
Bailey and Johnny Redstone we're en-
gagged in stage driving and they got
tpinched." They took the matter to
Tattan and he got them out. They
were charged, as many have been
charged since then, with introducing
liquor into the Belknap Indian res
erWtion. Asked if he was guilty, Mr..
Bailey laughed and remarked:
"Oh, let's forget that. The court
record shows we were not guilty and
why go back of the record"
Mr.. Bailey served with General
Wilson in the fighting around the
various points of Georgia and Ala
bama at the time of Sherman's march
to the sea. During that period the
government hung up reward OF
for the capture of Jefferson
Davis, head of the Confederacy.
Every Union soldier was out to get
part of the reward. 1t fell to the lot
of the Fourth Michigan cavalry to
land the honor for they got Davis
and he had about $4,000 in money
with him, most of which was real
cash, being gold, instead of Confed-
crate script, according to Bailey.
The boys divided the cash and Bailey
says that while he has no complaint
about the division he got only $40
gold piece.

The passing of e. j. Deveraux,
who died at his home at Browning
recently, recalls the Cypress Hills
massacre, in 1873, in which num-
Der Of Indian men, women and
children were killed and which
brought about strained relations
between the Canadian government,
in whose territory the sanguinary
conflict took place, and Montana
territorial officials.
The Canadian government made
every effort to extradite five men,
including Deveraux, whom they
charged with responsibility for the
Cypress Hills affair, but extradition
was refused, after hearing at Hell
ena, and the men were released.
For a number of years previous to
the Cypress Hills fight the Indians
and white men had waged . war on
each other, and the sympathy of Mon
tanans, who had suffered grievously
at the hands of the redskins, was all
with the white men in this fight and
there was great rejoicing when the
territorial authorities refused to turn
them over to the Canadian govern
ment to be tried for murder.

been engaged in the border fur trade,
afterwards settled on the Blackfeet
reservation, went into the cattle bust
ness and became a man of property
and influence.
Story of the Fight
The details leading up to the STAY
ing of the Indians are as follows:
A party of wolfers, numbering
nearly dozen men, were headed for
Fort Benton in the early summer of
1873 after a winter campaign after
wolf hides. At Eagle Creek, in the
Bearpaw mountain district, their
horses were stolen by a party of In
dians, who were thought to be from
the north. The VOTERS, set afoot,
went to Fort Benton to secure more
horses and started north in pursuit of
the thieves. They travelled for sew
eral days without sighting any In
dams, but On reaching the Canadian
line they. ran onto camp of Crees
near Farwells trading post in the
Cypress Hills.
They came in sight of the camp in
the evening. The Indians proved to
be Canadian Crees, headed by Chief
Little Mountain.
The Indian camp was in sight of
the trading post, run by an Indian
trader of the name of Abe Farwell.
His wife was an Indian woman, Crow
Mary. At the fort were a number
of halfbreeds and frontier characters, |
including j. M. Arnoux, Club Foot |
Tony and Cree halfbreed known as
Alexis de la Bompard.
According to these witnesses, who |
claim to have seen the whole pro-
ceedings, the white men, upon their |
arrival in sight of the camp, conceal
ed themselves in a somewhat deep |
ravine, where they spent the night.
Fight Started at Dawn
At dawn they stationed themselves
to the best advantage, and as soon
as the Indians were awake and began

Having the distinction of being
with the military unit that captured
Jefferson Davis after the surrender
of General Lee at Appomattox, and
also having experienced the thrill OF
being captured by the enemy but
later enjoying his ability to outwit
his captors and getting away and
back to join his comrades of the
Union army is the boast of William
L. Bailey, veteran Of the Civil war.
Bailey was sergeant in the Fourth
cavalry. He enrolled for
service by volunteering on August
4, 1853, and was mustered out two
years and four days later, on August
8, 1866.

man of his age he enjoys good health
except for those wounds. He says he
has no complaint about the matter as
he did what was his simple duty then
and helped preserve the union and
that the government has been good
to him by paying him pension ever
since, so he feels quite friendly to
the government and declares if there
was need he would shoulder a gun
and go after aay enemy that might
come along again.
| Bailey, after coming to Montana
| in 1870, was engaged in stage driv-
| ing and freighting about Fort Ben
ton and toward Havre and he says
that he has enjoyed his entire period
in the state which he believes is one
of the best states under the sun. He
is member of John w. Blair post, G.
A. R., at Ortonville, Minnesota, but
he says that he proposes to transfer
his membership as he. would like .'to
be with the boys who wore the blue
in a camp where he could attend the
meetings occasionally as a voting
member" For that reason he says
he is contemplating affiliating with
Sheridan post in Great Falls.
II saw the plain where Great Falls
stands when there was nothing but
grass here and the only population
was the herd or the band that hap
pened to be grazing here as it passed |
through" said Bailey. But when |
Paris Gibson laid out the city, it was
easy to seef that he had picked win
ner. He had found site that had
the beauty, the advantages of water |
power and a wonderful country about
1t, and so we veterans were not sur
prised to see it grow rapidly and /
am happy to know that Senator Glib
son has lived to see his dream of a
real city come true"
Bailey says he isn't worried about
the future of the American govern
nent for he thinks the American
people will rise to any emergency that
may present itself.

All things considered, the merch-
ants of Montana made splendid
showing during the first six months
of 1920, according to figures just
compiled by Philip S. Rush, state
manager for r. G. Dun & Co.
| With over 10000 merchants act
lively operating in the state, with
mining conditions anything but ia
vorable so far as employment is con-
cerned, and with last years crop
failure still being felt very severely,
to say nothing of the fact that there
is no demand for the wool clip, there
were but 43 commercial failures in
Montana from Jan. 1, 1920, to July
1, 1920. These 43 were scattered
over the state, and with two or three
exceptions, there were no large in
solvencies involved, and many of
those who failed will be able to pay
out their creditors to a very large
extent. In addition to those who
failed, there were a few other con-
Germs whose business was placed in
the hands of creditors representa-
tives, but whose assets are amply suf-
ficient to pay in full all obligations.
Such as these are not counted in the
43 insolvencies, for they are not COM
mercial failures. r. G. Dun & Co.
figure only as failures those concerns
which are unable to pay in full their
creditors.
Failures
Failures by months, in 1920, were
as follows:
January-Five failures assets of
$4,000; liabilities, $4,000.
February-Seven failures, assets
of s24,200; liabilities, $4,000.
March-Nine failures, assets $40,-
500; liabilities, s58,700.
April-Seven failures, assets, $45,-
600; liabilities, $4,000.
May-Thirteen failures, assets of
s55,700; liabilities, s63,500.
June-Two failures, assets of $751;
500; liabilities, $4,000.
Total, 4 3 failures, assets S227,200;
liabilities 1926, 900.
General business conditions at this
time are only fair and that there have
not been many more failures during
the first six months of the year is the
most remarkable feature of the pres
ent record.
That the above record is a some
what remarkable one, in view of the
conditions that have ex-
listed in Montana during the last six
is better shown by the fact
that, during the year 1918 there
were 95 failures, with liabilities to-
falling s424,558 and assets of $780,
600. In other words. the showing for
the first half of 1920, if kept up dur
ing the last half of the year, would
be about an average with 1918 and
perhaps trif1e heavier than for
1919. Neither of these years, how
ever, showed a heavy business NOR
atty in Montana.
Good Outlook
In many respects the outlook for
he next six months is far better
han that of the last six months, so
ar as Montana is concerned. Those
titles depending entirely on the min
ng industry have at this time a ra-
her discouraging outlook, due to the
abor conditions and the very low
rice of metals and uncertainty of
uture metal markets, but the crop
outlook is unusually good through
tut the state. In sections where
here have been almost no crops
ince 1915 present indications are
hat the yield per acre will be large
he acreage in most sections of the
tate is smaller considerably than in
915, but with good yields to the
ere, and high prices, especially for
Theat, the farmers will undoubtedly
