MONTANAN INVENTS A DEVICE
WHICH WILL SAVE HOUSEWIVES

To prevent explosions in kitchen
ranges, hot water heaters and fur
naces, a Butte man, C. 3. Mcdonald
has invented safety valve for watel
fronts which is regarded as extraor
dinarily effective.
Explosions, it is explained, occur
from over firing when circulation Of
water is impeded from frozen pipes
corrosion and a shut off of main. The
principle of the invention was de-
veloped from its greatest need for
kitchen ranges and is very simple in
construction, being comprised of the
valve, valve chamber, spring, assem-
bling and short connections.
The action of this valve is to pro-
vide an exit for over-pressure of
steam, the base of explosions, and at
the same time throw this over-pres-
sure onto the fire bed, which reduces
the fire to the proper intensity. This
attachment is said not to be difficult
to, attach, as it is designed to con-
meet with the plumbing that is al
ready installed.
This safety valve and its attach
ments are made from the finest OF
rolled yellow brass. 1t is construct
ed to last life time.
Mr.. Mcdonald spent eight years in
perfecting this invention and subject
ing it to many tests, in kitchen
ranges, hot water heaters, furnaces
and furnace coils. 1t has been test
ed and demonstrated before Mayor
Stodden, Fire Chief Martin, and a

anxious to go along than to enter
into conversation.
A little after 8 we arrived at the
post. Pike was still alive but very
low. The place was alive with
breeds. Riel had difficulty in get
ting them to come the night before
but when one had returned to the
camp and reported the Indians had
gone, they were all eager to get
out and fight-when there was no
one to fight with.
The doctors examination show
ed that Pike had been hit in the
jaw, just above the point of the
chin, and that the jaw bone had
been broken completely in two. A
remarkable fact was that the bull
let had been split in two by the
bone, one part lodging i'll the neck
below the ear, the other piece go
ing clear around and lodging back
of the neck.
The next day, after fixing Pike
up, the doctor returned. For 10
days there was no apparent i'm
provement and we were about to
give Pike up. Something appear
ed to be wrong and we sent for DR..
DePalm of Lewistown. He decid-
ed that the jaw had been wrongly
set and it would be necessary to
re-break it and set it again before
it would heal. Pike said, go
ahead and break it; if l die, I die,
that's ALL"
The second operation was over
in a day or two, and soon there
was improvement, but it was the
following April before he left his
Jed. Then he went to Maiden and
ogether with Joe Hamilton open
ID a store.

Went to Riel for Help

Then we discussed how | should
get out to look for a horse and how
was to get away provided
found an animal / could ride. II
was decided l should take half
breed pad saddle that was hanging
lup in the store-it weighed five
lpounds-and an Indian rawhide la
riat rope, some two pounds of dried
meat in my pockets and make a
dash for the brush on the south
side of the creek. The brush was
dense and ran down the creek for
several miles. Once in it one could,
by following certain courses
known only to few of us, go four
| or five miles without coming into
view. The plan was to keep to the
brush unless / found the horses :.
| if / found them, to catch the best
one l could, throw on the sa Idle.

If / did not find the horses | was
to make my way as best | could to
"a half-breed camp at the mouth of
Mcdonald creek, IS miles below,
and there get mount.
This half-breed camp was. pre-
sided over by Louis Riel, who was
afterward hanged as rebel by the
Canadian government, and who, let
me say, was fine looking, well
educated and courteous man. Whe-
ther / found horse before reach
ing there l was to arrange with
Riel to send Is men to succor the
fort, secure a companion for my
journey and get fresh mount. The
camp was a little south of east of
the trading post and Fort Maginnis
was almost directly northwest.
From the camp | was to go as dir
ectly as possible across country toi

: we were driving good trade. u
the morning in question / was act
) ing as cook-we took week abou
; at that-and had just finished get
!, ting breakfast ready. Pike ane
Bob Heart had been up all nigh
dealing with the Indians, and VIZ
were to eat breakfast and then &c
and relieve them. Joe and / were
eating our breakfast when Bot
stuck his head in at the door and
said, Joe, come over to the store
fright away"
/ Joe Immediately started and ]
lglanced out of the window to see
what was up. In a few minutes ]
heard loud voices proceeding from
the store, and the loudest 1 recog-
nized among them as Pixies.
Shortly the store door opened and
out came Joe, Bob and about half
a dozen Indians, two of whom,
White Calf and Running Rabbit,
were bleeding from cuts in the
head. AS soon as they were out
Joe closed and door, and I heard
him say to Pike on the inside:
Nov keep that door locked, your
mouth shut, and this thing will
blow over in little while"
When Pike Began to Shoot
Bob came over to the kitchen
and Joe went to use his diplomatic
powers upon the Indians. He was
apparently succeeding very we'll
when White Calf appeared upon
the scene and announced his inten-
ton of going into the store. Joe
protested, but evidently without
avail, as soon I saw a number of
the Indians pick him up and carry
him to wagon that was between
the house and the creek. There
they laid him down and started to
ruin for the store. Joe got up and
started for the house, calling on me
while coming to open the door. 1t
was open when he got there and
slammed to and barred as soon as
he was in.
After Joe reached the kitchen I
noticed that White Calf had Sc
cured a small tree and was parad-
ng up and down between the
houses. The stick was about II <
eet long and White Calf was drag '
ring it by the small end. Sudden s
y he stopped bessie the store door ]
nd crashed, the stick through the Is
mall window which furnished |
light for the store. $
This was evidently too much for !
Pike. He snatched Winchester s
rom the gun rack of the counter a
nd advanced to the window. The &
alter was small and he was able v
My to get his head and shoulders h
ut, but as soon as he did he COM
lenced lively fusilade in that vi II
Unity. Having emptied his gun a
e withdrew again into the store. d
lst then we heard two more shots I
red and Immediately following j
lem the most horrible sound ina O
Unable. 1t was neither a groan, Irt
Or cry of fear, anger or pain f
1T perhaps combination of all of lie
lese. The next instant the store N
Dor was thrown wide open and W
1t walked Pike, covered with
God from his face to his feet, and
ore coming in spurts with each
at of his heart. Or

20 years ago.
Powell Landusky came to Last
Chance gulch in 1868, during the
best gold days there. He was
then about Is years of age, long,
lank, green country boy. In fact,
he was so green looking that he
was the butt for the miners jokes
and thereby gained his name. One
particular miner had been very
prominent in teasing the "kid."
This man was bully and did not
know when to stop. One day, in
the course of his nagging, he asked
Landusky:
"Whar are We from, enyhow,
KIDD"
This aroused the patriotic pride
of the boy and with a blow he
knocked the bully down, answer

county, Missouri, by -"

the day of his death.

would probably be alive today.
Temper Got Him Into Trouble
But his temper led him into
many difficulties and when arous- S
ed he seemed to lose all judgment |
and it was during passion of this Z
sort, on December 8, 1880, that he $
was crippled and almost lost his ]
life. At that time he was in part
nership with zoe Hamilton, who ]
was the only man I knew who
could do anything with Pike when a
ne was in a heat of passion. Joe l.
