A GREAT NEWSPAPER SCOOP"
How the First News of Clusters Last
Fight Was Made Public.

One Of the greatest newspaper
scoops" or "beats" ever made in
modern journalism was OR July 4th,
1876, at Helena, Montana, when An
drew ]. Fisk, at that time Associated
Press correspondent and general news
paper writer, first gave to the world
the fate Of General George A. Custer
and 207 OF his immediate command.
which was wiped out on the banks OF
the Little Big Horn river in Montana,
on June 18th of the Centennial year.
by the Sioux and allied tribes under
Chiefs Gall, Grow, King, Crazy Horse
and Two Moons.
News gathering forty-three years
ago had not been brought down to as
fine point as at the present day. There
were no telephones, automobiles,
bicycles or other means Of rapid transit
in those days, and news dissemination
by telegraph, even, was almost in its
infancy. The West was a compare
tive wilderness, teeming with Indians,
outlaws and tough characters in gen.
eral: railroads were few and the coun-
try bordering on Montana and Wyom-
ing was but sparsely settled.
Nine days had elapsed from the
time Custer met his fate before the in
formation was spread broadcast
through the medium Of the press, and
longer time doubtless would have
elapsed but for the pluck and grit Of
rancher OH the Yellowstone river
named Horace Countryman, himself an
old Indian fighter and scout of the
early days. Countryman rode 1870
miles with but one change Of horses to
reach Helena and spread the tidings
ef Clusters fate
At that time Countryman lived at
Saltwater, which was an old stage sta
ton on the Yellowstone. To Country
mans ranch arrived "Muggins" Taylor,
a scout attached to the Seventh Caval-
ry, from the battlefield on the Little
Big Horn. Taylor was completely ex
hausted and unable to proceed further,
having barely escaped with his life af-
ter leaving the Seventh Cavalry. He
was discovered and pursued by a band
OF Indians, and but for the fact that
he managed to guide his horse TO the
junction OF the Big and Little Horn
rivers, where the supply steamer, "Far
west" was waiting for orders from
General Terry, in command Of the
Seventh Cavalry, Taylor would have
been overhauled and BILLED, as his
horse was completely winded when
soldiers on the boat caught sight of
him dashing toward them, firing his
revolver to attract attention, while
in close pursuit came bunch OF Sioux
Indians, who drew up and retired into
the hills upon seeing that their quarry
was in safe hands.
Noting Taylor's exhausted condition.
Countryman volunteered to bring the
news to Bozeman, where he suorpsc
ne would be able to find a govern.
ment wire and rush the news to Wash
ington.
But when Countryman, on a foam.
hecked horse, dashed into Bozeman, he
round the government wire down and
useless. There was nothing to do but
continue on 10 Helena. Securing a
fresh mount, Countryman scurried
away, and arrived in Helena abou,
noon in the Fourth OF July, "all in"
and fairly fainting from the exhaus.
ton of his long ride.
! On legal holidays, in those times,

Salem buyers were offering a
higher price for large frys this
morning than was being pa,d IN
Portland. While the market there
seems to be well supplied, Sa-
lem retailers are having some DIFF
ficulty in meeting the demand
for birds weighing two pounds
and over. Twenty four cents a
pound was the offer of two buy
ers this morning, though shin
pers still maintained their price
Of 81 cents.
Salmon is not quite as plenti-
full as few days ago, though
there is a ready supply on the
market today and the price has
not changed. Deep sea crab are
very nice in appearance and are
selling at 40 cents each.
Currants are more plentiful on
the market this morning ana will
become SO from now on. They
are selling three boxes for rs
cents or $1.75 per crate. The
price to the grower is about 4

four boxes for a quarter. The
