The first buildings to be erected
on the campus at Montana state col
lege at Bozeman as the result of the
election of the $4,000, 0O6 bond issue
by the people of Montana IN favor of
their higher educational institutions,
will be started early in the spring, it
is reported. The first ground to be
broken will be for new engineering
and science buildings.
Among the later buildings possible
from the success at the election of the
educational measures, will be an ar
mory gymnasium, additional wo-
mems d~ormitories, q livestock paw
ilion and perhaps a library. A new
heating plant, capable of caring for
new buildings as they are erected,
will be started early in the spring.
Last Monday the city of Bozeman
celebrated the passage of the two

business men formed at the college
and marched through the business

ing of the success of the measure.
Prof. w. f. Brewer, manager of the
campaign that brought educational
to successful election, was
given a big ovation when he spoke
for a few minutes.
"The success of measures 18 and
10 have meant more to our state
than most of us now can realize,
said President Atkinson. ut is
now up to us to make good this con
fidence of the people of the state and
return to them the results of edu-
cation that they had in view when
they voted in favor of them. We
celebrate today, but we must pause
to regard the solemnity of the OBJ
legation that is placed upon u.s."

day besieged the place in an effort
to capture it and kill the occupants.
The life of the garrison became one
series of battles with the Indians and
at every hour of the day and night
the crack of the rifle was liable to
bring the men commanded by Pease
to man the loopholes. The fort had
an iron ~six-pounder piece of artillery,
and occasionally the roar of it would
awake the echoes of the valley and
~reverberate among the cliffs along
the river.
This life OF incessant warfare told
heavily upon the defenders of the
fort. The men inside the stockade
were nearly all experienced Indian
fighters and crack shots, and many
a Sioux was killed. The men of the
garrison did not go ~unscathed, how
ever, and soon six of their number
had been caught by hostile bullets
and killed, while nine more suffered
severe wounds, and as the Indians
Il u n & about in ever-increasing
swarms, the dread grew among
Major Pease's men that all might
perish.
Their number had been reduced to
rs men when it was resolved to ap-
peal to the commanding officer at
Fort Ellis, near where Bozeman
stands, for relief. One of the men in
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1920-12-02

the fort volunteered to attempt to
get through the Sioux lines and get
to the military post. At night he
crept silently away from the stock
ade. For days his comrades at the
little fort waited, not knowing
whether he had been caught and
killed or not.
One winter afternoon, while the
garrison were keeping their never
ending vigil against another attack,
their eyes were gladdened by the
sight of a party of Mountain Crows,
a tribe friendly to the whites and bit
ter enemies of the Sioux, who came
riding toward the fort. The gar
rison were undergoing a long-range
bombardment from some Sioux sta
toned on the bluffs across the river
when the Crows came and explained
that they had started out in the ex-
IRENE cold weather to try and get a
few Sioux scalps, and as the Sioux
party across the river appeared to be
few in number, they were much
pleased with the situation. After
eating some meat furnished them by
Pease, the Crows told the garrison
they would soon be rid of their per-
secutors and stalked into the brush,
single file, their buffalo robes drawn
up about them.
To fool the Sioux they walked

MAJOR F. b. PEASE, THE LAST SURVIVING MISSOURI RIVER FUR
TRADER OF THE SOS, PASSES AWAY DN OREGON AT AGE OF IS

F, away from the river then made a Wldt
detour. crossed the Yellowstone on
the ice, and swinging around behind
the bluffs, rushed upon the Sioux
who were too much ~engrossed in
dropping bullets into the fort to have
bothered about the Crows.
The Sioux were only three in num-
Der, and they were taken by surprise.
Two were killed outright, while a
third was wounded and crawled into
the brush. A Crow youth, not yet a
warrior, rushed in after him and kill
ed him with his knife, taking his
scalp and winning his spurs as a
f~ull-fledged brave.
After mutilating the bodies the
Crows marched back to the fort. AS
they entered the stockade three of
their warriors advanced, thrusting
their hands from their blankets. AS
Major Pease and two white men
grasped the %proffered hands, these
fell from the blankets and were left
dangling in their startled grip, while
the Crows burst forth into laughter.
They had cut the forearms from the
dead Sioux and used these grewsome
trophies to announce their victory.
After this the Sioux attacks con-
tinued at intervals, and the garrison
knew that the Indians were hoping to
starve them out, hoping then to rush
the fort and kill the defenders.
Finally one day in March, 1876,
their ears were gladdened by hearing
a bugle call. Looking out they saw
four troops of the Second Cavalry
with Major Brisbin at their head.
AS a matter of fact the Sioux had
about given up the siege when the
troops arrived, but Major Pease and
his men saw the futility of staying
longer, and were glad to take advan-
tage of the chance to leave the scene
of so much fighting and wearing anx-
iety. The colors of the fort were
left flying where they had often wav-
ed defiance to encircling Sioux, and
it was also the intention to leave the
walls and buildings standing, but a
malcontent in the party secretly set
fire to one of the buildings and it
burned, the rest of the fort remain
ed standing until the following May,
when the Sioux burned it.
Thus Fort Pease became another
tradition of the frontier, and another
historic spot at the mouth of the Big
Horn, whose history, so far as the
white man is concerned, had begun in
1909, when Manuel Lisa built a trad
ing post there-the first habitation
of white men in what is today Mon
tana.

HEAVY INCOME TAX is
IN BY MONTANANS

On incomes earned during the
year 1918, 34,464 residents of Mon
tana paid individual income taxes in
to the federal treasury a~ggregating
$3,012,902, or 1927 per cent of the
total income tax collected in the en-
tire United States. The incomes
which were taxed that year amount
ed in the aggregate to $9O,091,830.
These figures were made public to-
day by the commissioner of internal
revenue along with comparative fig
ures for the two preceding years.
The heavy increase shown in 1917
over 1916 is due to the taxing of
smaller incomes under the present
law, which did not apply in 1916.

GOVERNOR STEWART WIRES
PROTEST AGAINST JAPANESE

Governor S. V. Stewart has wired
Secretary of State cambridge Colby
at Washington protesting against any
treaty giving foreign born Japanese
citizenship rights in the United
States. In his telegram he said:
'Hon. cambridge Colby,
Secretary of State.
"Voicing the sentiments of the
people of the west, l emphatically
state that any recognition looking
toward making citizens of Japanese
whether born in America or else
where will meet with decided and
united opposition from all citizens OF
the Pacific coast and Intermountain
states.

A few days ago., at Medford, Ore
gon, at the g of IS years, death
removed Major F. d. Pease, n OF
the best known Montana pioneers OF
the COS and 70's, and the last living
fur trader who operated on the Mis-
souri, river in the SOS, a decade be-
fore gold was struck in Montana.
For some years Major Pease's home
had been at Absarokee in saltwater
county. Last May the Crow nation
formally adopted him as a member of
the tribe, as he had married the
daughter of a Crow Chief, following
the custom of many of the leading
frontiersmen of his day.
Major Pease, whose health had
been failing for some time, went to
Oregon with some of his family. Up
his mental faculties, and his memory
is said to have been remarkable for
a man of his years.
Forty years ago the name of Ma
jor Pease was known to every n in
Montana because of his thrilling ad-
ventures at Fort Pease, on the yell
lowstone river.
The story of Major Pease and Fort
Pease is one which every Montana
schoolboy should know, and yet it
has never been heard of by most of
the present generation of Montanans.
AS a y~oungster he was an Indian
trader in Wisconsin and Minnesota
when those states were in the wild
rness. AS early as 1866 he was
trading with the Sioux and other
tribes on the Missouri river, and in
1861 he was operating on the Vel
lowstone, which then was infested
with hostile red men. AS q trapper,
scout and Indian fighter his life for
much of its length was filled with
adventures and thrills. In latter
years lie was interested in large coal
land Developments. Four of his
grandsons served in the army and
navy in the late war.
Major Pease's History
Major Pease was born in Tioga
county, Pennsylvania, in 1895. In
1853, at the age of IS, he pushed
westward and became an Indian trad
er among the Chippewas in Wiscon-
sin on Black river. In 1854 he
helped survey the boundary between
Minnesota and Wisconsin, and the
following year he engaged with an
old Indian trader, William d. Gray,
in Minnesota. Thus at the age of 20
he had considerable frontier exper-
fence, and was capable of handling
himself in most situations of danger
hat called for a COO head and a
knowledge of the wilderness and its
ways.
In the fall of 1856 he left Min
nesota with one of the Sully expedi-
and was sent west to join General w.
S. Harvey in Dakota, for whom he be-
came the chief of scouts. General
Harvey had made a reputation as an
Indian fighter the previous year in
the battle of Ash Hollow, on the
Platte, when he defeated the In
dams who had wiped out Lieutenant
Grattan's command in the Platte val
ley the year before. General Har~
ney, who was one of the finest types
of officers in the army during the
70's, had taken charge of old Fort
Pierre in Dakota just before Major
Pease Joined him there. The follow
ing year General Harvey built the i'm
portant post of Fort Randall and was
able to keep the Sioux within bounds
for some time.
