streams of pure water, the grassy
plains, where thousands of buffalo
and other wild animals do most
abound, subsisting upon what nature
alone provides, making it truly the
free mans paradise.
Late John Largent First Settler.
The settlement of Sun River val
ley does not date to 1906 but soon
thereafter the country was overrun
by hunters and trappers belonging
to the several fur companies and an
agency for the Blackfeet Indians was
erected in 1859 on what is COM
monty known as the Sparks place,
but no permanent settler had located
until 1867. This year John Largent
bought a cabin from one Golf, a
free trapper. This cabin stood nearly
on the ground that is now occupied
by Mr.. Largent's fine residence. The
same year Joe Healy built a cabin
where H. B. Strong now lives. These
two men were the first real settlers
of Sun River. Fort Shaw was also
established that year by the 18th
infantry, thus giving protection to
those who desired to settle in this
neighborhood, which it is needless to
say, was much needed, as the Peigan,
or Blackfeet Indians had the year be-
fore burned their agency and killed
its occupants, SO that it was only the
most daring that cared to settle in
the midst of a wild and savage peo-
pie.
Three Toll Bridges.
The presence of troops in this val
ley and the wealth of the mines in
Last Chance gulch so increased the
traffic between Fort Benton and the
upper country that the two bridges
were built across Sun river in 1867
and 1868; by some German boys
down at the Leavings and the other
here at what some people still persist
in calling the crossing" by John
and the Healy brothers. In
1870 Henry Miller and a French
man built another at the Churchill
ranch. These bridges were built to
secure the business that would natur-
ally have been carried on at a point
nearly equidistant from the two
most important points in the ter
ritory. But owing to the advantages
possessed by the upper bridge as to
and its proximity to the
tort, the middle and lower ones were
so little used that today there is
a mark or the prairie to tell
hat a wagon had ever crossed there.

Indians Killed White Men. c
Thus in a year or two quite a set
had sprung up under the pro-
of the fort. The Indians had, .
f course, killed several white men, :

(From The Sun River Sun, 1884.)
In the year 1904 Sun River val
ley was first visited by white men,
but it was not until the following
year that the present site of our
thriving little town was reached. This
was owing to the circuitous route
taken by the early explorers. After
ascending the Missouri to its source
they followed down the Snake river
and the Columbia to the l~atter's
mouth, where they wintered. In the
spring Captain Lewis returned by
a more northern route and arrived at
the site of the present town of Sun
River in the summer of 1906, Just
79 years ago. The captain and his
men yer all loud in their praise of

Sheriff Joe Hartman of Sanders

The hardest part of the trip to
Deer Lodge was when the train pull

of the McCullys and off in the dis

the old homestead section which has
been their home since marriage.
Tears stained the faces of the couple
as they went through Plains and saw
the little old ranch home section and
knew they were seeing it for the last
time-that they were passing by the
old home never to return to it.
The McCullys were asked if they

they had not. In fact they have not
