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 ecover their stolen horses
and tAat 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 a 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
dams 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
lawlessness that existed along the
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 c~enterpiece
of the beautiful Flathead country,
where nature has staged one of her
best efforts. Montanans are just
beginning to appreciate it and sum
mel 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

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 j. 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
a fee of $25 for Tattan a little later.
Bailey and Johnny Redstone were en-
gagged in stage driving and they got
"pinched." 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
ervation. Asked if he vas guilty, Mr..
Bailey laughed and remarked:
"Oh, let's forget that. The court
record shows we we're 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
at the time of Sherman's march
the sea. During that period the
government hung up a reward of
100000 for the capture of Jefferson
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.

MON TAMA PIONEER HELPED
CAPTURE JEFFERSON DAVIS

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, a veteran of the Civil war.
was a sergeant in the Fourth
Michigan cavalry. He enrolled for
service by volunteering on August
1863, and was mustered out two
years and four days later, on August
1865.

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 a 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 any 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 n
of the best states under the sun. He
is a 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 Ito
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.
81 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 a win
ner. He had found a site that had
the beauty, the advantages of water
power and a wonderful country about
it, and so we veterans were not sur
prised to see it grow rapidly and I
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
ment for he thinks the American
people will rise to any emergency that
may present itself.

leaving their lodges to go to a 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 zoe 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 vas hacked off and stuck on a
pole in the middle of the camp.
Some of the men in the party were
whisky traders, who traded whisky
the Indians for wolf pelts and fur.
The party were said to have fortified
themselves for the attack by drinking
much of their whisky. The witnesses
said they behaved like demons.

The passing of e. j. Deveraux,
who died at his home at Browning
recently, recalls the Cypress Hills
massacre, in 1878, in which a num-
Der of Indian men, women and
children were killed inc 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 a 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.
Deveraux, who had come to Mon
tana in the early sixties, and had
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 a dozen men, were headed for
Fort Benton in the early summer of
1873 after a winter campaign after
wolf hides. At Eagle Greek, in the
Bearpaw mountain district, their
horses were stolen by a party of In
dams, who were thought to be from
the north. The VOTERS, set afoot,
went to Fort Benton to secur more
horses and started north in pursuit of
the thieves. They travelled for sew
eral days without sighting any In
dams, but OF reaching the Canadian
line they ran onto a camp of Crees
near Farwell's 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, Grow
Mary. At the fort were a number
of ~halfbreeds and frontier characters,
including j.. M. Arnoux, Club Foot
Tony and a 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
