Reproduction of the Custer battle

with appropriate ceremonies, which
will include an grafton, band concert,

the other side. To close the celebra-
ton with a feature of general amuse-
ment a dance will be given on the

1t is anticipated that special trains
will be run from both Sheridan,

Case of Former Senator Willett, Lfv-

Wide Attention; Appeal For Funds
for Minor Comforts Made.

ay MARTIN CHE

Following a law enacted by the
recent legislature to provide for
the deportation to Louisiana OF
Montana's only leper there is to
be staged a great legal battle upon
a unique controversy, one certain
to arouse nationwide interest.
Never before has it been contend
ed that an American citizen, not an
INDECENT and unconvicted of crime,
can be depoPted from one state to
another.
1t is held by the counsel for
former Senator O.. G. Willett of
Mineral county, who has been suf-
fering from leprosy for several
years, that enforced deportation to
the Louisiana leper colony would
be a clear violation of the constitu-
ton of the United States.
The case of Senator Willett is at
tracing wide attention. He and
his wife live as exiles from all hui
man beings, in a little cabin in the
mountains a few miles from AL
berton in Mineral county. They
have no communication with the
outside world except through the
telephone, letters that + fumi-
gated and conversation at some
distance with a few people who
visit their place.
Not long ago the Daily Missou-
liam told an interesting story of the
life of these exiles and mentioned,
incidentally, that Mrs. Willett had
expressed a longing for a piano.
Immediately a fund was started
and within a few days was suffi-
cient to buy the finest player piano
and to leave a nest egg for another
fund to purchase a few simple
creature comforts for the Willetts,
who are without means, except FOR
a small pension from the govern
ment, WiIIett having served in the
Philippines, and such care as is
provided by the authorities of Min
era1 county.
The eagerness with which SYM
pathizers sought to aid the Willetts
suggested AN enlargement of the
fund to give them a continuance of
such simple things as they need
and desire. The Daily Muscular
will welcome all contributions for
this purpose and preferably small
contributions.
Those who have already given

there she sits on the. porch Of the
little cottage, with her wide, brilliant
brown eyes turned toward he snow
capped sentinel mountains.
Little Woman Breaks Into Tears
Now, listen folks, for here is
where you get your moneys worth.
The frail body of this little woman
stiffened, then collapsed and fell
against the gift to which she chung
with both arms. With her head on
the piano she wept and wept, her
form convulsing in a climax of emo
ton.
And don't think that 1t wasn't
spreading. The tears were running
in a stream from the swollen eyes
of her husband. Bill Dickinson,
hard boiled-a star piano salesman
has to be hard boiled-reached for
his handkerchief. Jim Sage, also
hard boiled-he came from Chicago
was coughing vigorously to hide
something. And-we may as well
tell it all-the writer had to glue his
bedimmed eyes upon a spot on the
mountain side 200 yards distant
where the Willetts saw a big silver
tipped bear last fall
W. B. Schaefer of the Hoyt-Dick-
inson company lost no time In show
ing the eager woman how to play 1t.
A roll of music was inserted and the
beautiful strains OF the waltz king,
Johann Strauss, trickled forth, swell
ing into marvellous melody
Thanks MissouIa People
The piano was pushed into the
little living room, since visitors are
not permitted to enter the house.
Mrs. Willett followed and soon her
fingers were triIling the notes of an
all but forgotten melody. She is a
fine pianist and very so0 she and
the new guest will be great chums.
after a little, Mrs. Willett re-
turned to the porch still wiping her
eyes. In a voice that broke with
emotion she said:
please tell the people of Missou1a
no words can express our graft
tude to them. They have given me
happiest hour of my life. No
body knows what this Easter will
mean to us. l have SC longed for a
piano. There was nothing in the
outer world that l missed so much.

Willett Tells His Faith

eel. There is Senator Willett stand
1g by the little tent where the gro
cries are left by the neighbors.

eposited $3.50 left over from the
iano fund, and to be used for crea-
