|MONTANAN INVENTS A DEVICE
WHICH WILL SAVE HOUSEWIVES

To prevent explosions in kitchen
ranges, hot water heaters and fur
naces, a Butte man, G. E. Mcdonald,
has invented a safety valve for water
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-
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 a 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
5todden, Fire Chief Martin, and a

anxious to go along than to enter
into conversation.
A little after 3 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
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 hat 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 in 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..
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, 60
ahead and break it; if I 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
bed. Then he went to Maiden and
together with Joe Hamilton OPEN

up in the store-it weighed five
pounds-and an Indian rawhide la

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

ANOTHER STORY OF PIKE LAMDUSMY: HIS
BATTLE WITH INDIANS ON FLAT WILLOW

Several years after "Pike" Ian
dusky, after whom the mining
camp in the Little Rockies wa
named, was killed by n of tn
Curry boys, an effort was made t.
connect him with that gang of DIES
peradoes, merely because they
made their headquarters in tht
town named after him. | wa:
quite intimate with "Pike" 20 year:
ago and any effort to make hin
out a dad man" is misleading If
many respects, so wrote ]. H. Bou-
cher in an article prepared nearly
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, a 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 a 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
ing, as he did so, From Pike
county, Missouri, by |"
That settled it; he was "Pike" to
the day of his death.
From Helena Pike drifted into
the employ of the Diamond R out
fit and later into trading for him
self, and it was while engaged in
the latter business that l first be-
came acquainted with him and
when the incident which l am go
ing to relate occurred.
Pixies worst fault was his un-
comfortable temper. He was hon
est beyond question and during his
life his credit was always of theI
pest. Had it not been for his tenn
Der he would have had a quiet and
prosperous life undoubtedly and
probably be alive today.
Temper Got Him Into Trouble
But his temper led him into /
many difficulties and when arous- s
d he seemed to lose all judgment |
ind it was during a passion of this 4;
sort, on December 8, 1880, that he
was crippled and almost lost his
ife. At that time he was in part
lership with Joe Hamilton, who
vas the only man I knew who t
do anything with Pike when q
lie was in a heat of passion. Joe |
vas a man of iron nerve, but with {
/ jovia1 and kind. In his head {
a pair of dark steel-gray +

handed unqualified respect. He ]

ommand over white and Indian t
he happened to be. Joe G

nown as P~ocahontas, and that b

eds. d
At the time of my story we were o

we were driving a good trade. O
the morning in question | was act
ing as cook-we took week abou
at that-and had just finished get
ting breakfast ready. Pike ant
Bob Heart had been up all nigh
dealing with the Indians, and W,
were to eat breakfast and then gt
and relieve them. Joe and l wer,
eating our breakfast when Boil
stuck his head in at the door anc
said, "Joe, come over to the store
right away"
Joe Immediately started and ]
glanced out of the window to see
what was up. In a few minutes
heard loud voices proceeding from
the store, and the loudest | 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 / heard
him say to Pike on the inside /:
"Now keep that door locked, your
mouth shut, and this thing will
blow over i'll a 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 well
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 | saw a number of
Indians pick him up and carry
him to a wagon that was between
house and the creek. There
laid him down and started to
for the store. Joe got up and
started for the house, calling on me
While coming TO open the door. 1t
vas open when he got there and
to and barred as soon as
was in.
After Joe reached the kitchen I
oticed that White Calf had Sc
ured a small tree and was parad-
lg up and down between the
ouses. The stick was about II
eet long and White Calf was drag
ing it by the small end. Sudden
he stopped besie the store door
nd crashed the stick through the
mall window which furnished
.ght for the store.
This was evidently too much for
ike. He snatched a Winchester ,
the gun rack of the counter
nd advanced to the window. The {
liter was small and he was able '
to get his head and shoulders
1T, but as soon as he did he COM
a lively fusilade in that vi t
nifty. Having emptied his gun a

| was soon in the saddle anc
rode out into the open in plair
sight of the post, and waved my
cap in the air. Then I started
down the creek. The snow was
deep in places and once or twice my
horse went down and I had to get
off, but | managed to reach Riel's
camp about noon without seeing an
Indian; in fact | question whether
they even knew | had left the post.
The breed camp was composed of
about 100 log cabins and in each
of them there was a family, and in
some of them, two, SO that it was
quite a settlement.
A Trip of Tribu1ations
| Immediately presented the sit
uation to them, but it was not until
8 o'clock-and then only by Riel's
- that they were
brought to agree to the relief of
unlucky fort. Even then it
took them three hours to get ready
so that it was E o'clock before they
in one direction, and I, with
my companion, in the other. The

Irious and grabbed my rifle from
over the bed. Joe took it out oil
my hands, threw open the door and
called out, care you hurt, Pike?'
Battle Became General
The answer was something that
sounded like Eyes" Then both he
and Joe commenced firing at the
Indians, while Bob and l made for
the store for more guns and ammu-
milton. Just as l passed Pike he
fired at an Indian, who dropped
instantly. 1t turned out later to be
a squaw, although Pike said he
only knew it was an Indian.
Bob and l snatched guns out of
the rack and worked our way back
to the kitchen. Just as | came out
| saw Pike throw his Winchester
into the hollow of his left arm and
hug it to his body, to pump an
other cartridge into the chamber.
Then | knew he had been hit again.
1t was nov a general fusilade
and the Indians were flying for the
brush and shelter as fast as they
could. Four white men with Win
chesters were more than they cared
to tackle, and soon nothing in the
shape of an Indian was in sight.
Pike was plainly getting weaker
and soon commenced to stagger.
Joe, I'm gone" he said, as he
grabbed the counter for support.
Then we helped him into the house.
Just after we had done so he put
his fingers to his mouth and we
could hear the broken bones graf
ing against each other. Then he
threw something hard upon the
floor, which l afterwards picked
up and found it to be a piece of jaw
bone with four teeth fastened to it.
Joe and Bob led him into the
room, which was also the general
bedroom, fixed him as comfortable
as they could and then returned to
he store for a consultation.
What was to be done? Pike
would undoubtedly die unless he
got surgical attention quickly and
here appeared no very easy way to !
get that. We had traded for 10 I
lorses the night before and we had
4
'nly four others with us; but they I
we're not in sight and we could not '

-one. We had another herd of 6
