AS to the story told by the Grow
scout, Curley, little credence is given
to his claims by most of the histor-
ians of the Custer fight. Curley's
statement was that he was with Gus
ter after the battle started and tried
to get him to leave the field with a
Sioux blanket over his head. Curley
said that he managed to escape by
that means. 1t is true that Curley
brought tidings Of the disaster to the
Far West at the mouth of the Rose
Bud, but in the opinion of many, he
left the Custer command before the
fight started, hid in a coulee and

He stayed behind to fix it. When he
heard the firing he ran off like a

There are two or three men living
today-and perhaps more-who saw
service as scouts under Custer. One
of these is Tom Newcomb, a guide
in Yellowstone Park, who secuted
under the famous cavalry leader in
the southwest. Another is Colonel
G. R. Norris of Lewistown. Neither
of these was present at the Little
Big Horn fight, however.
Probably the last scout who was
with the Seventh cavalry on the Lit
tie Big Horn and survived the fight
was George H~erendeen, who died in
Blaine county a year ago.
Herendeen happened to be trap
ping on the Yellowstone shortly be-
fore the Custer fight, and ran across
General Terry n his staff just be-
low Wolf Rapids. In describing the
events that followed, he said:

ing across from Fort Lincoln and
expected any day. Terry, the
day before, had sent scouts out, but
they had been driven back and he
was worried as to how to get the

A solid gold watch, one the prop
erty of Marcus DAILY, the value OF
which is estimated by jewellers to be
between $4,000 and $4,000, was dis
covered last week at an East Park
street loan office, in Butte, where
it had been pawned by a man who
secured $50 on the timepiece. This
man, the police say, claims to have
obtained the watch about IA years
ago in Spokane for $3.50 from an
other man who represented himself
as a brother-in-law of Marcus DAILY
and who is reported to have been at
one time employed as a foreman at
the smelters in Anaconda.
Attention of the police was drawn
to the watch by the name of Marcus
DAILY, which had been engraved in
side the face with the address, Butte,

There are two reports regarding
the watch, one being hat Marcus had
the timepiece made to order and that

last words we heard him say. Reno
went to the stream, crossed it and
was attacked by the Sioux. He fell
back and retreated to a place of
safety. Thirteen soldiers and l did
not hear the order and remained be-
hind in the brush. We afterward
managed to join Reno, losing several
men on the way"
Herendeen was one of the most i'm
portant witnesses at the inquiry into
Reno's conduct, and was compliment
ed as being one of the few men who
told the truth about the affair.

me luck was wit me- he used
to explain in r%ecounting his narrow
escape at the Battle of the Little
Big Horn in 1876 when Custer and
the troops with him to a man were
killed. AS is known, the general
split his command on the way to
the fight, and a short time after
Major Reno's battalion left the
main body of troops Flanagan
was sent back by Custer with a
message to Reno. And that's how
/ saved my scalp said Sargint
Jimmy. He returned to his com
mand, saw the battle in progress
and fastened to advise Reno a
second time of Clusters peril.
I'm the controversy which ragged
for years both in the army and out
regarding the conduct of Major
Reno, Flanagan became a figure
of somewhat the same Importance
as the Indian scout, Curley the
Grow. Curley was also sent to
order Reno and Captain Benteen
with their commands to attack the
Indians in force. Reno, in spite of
the urgings of Benteen, refused to
go, saying his men could not cross
the river. Curley arrived at the
scene of the battle to see Custer
making his lone stand against the
Sioux; before he could tell him of
Reno's refusal to aid him, Curley
said, Custer fell, shot through the
heart by an Indian rifleman. The
narratives of the two scouts were
perhaps as complete in details as
any furnished of this memorable
Indian battle.
"Sargint Jimmy was n of the
ideal non-commissioned officers of
the old Seventh cavalry, men who
stood for a high morale and fought
for the records and traditions of
a fighting regiment. He was the
kind of man about whom Richard
Harding Davis liked to write, and
Sargint Jimmy only thinly dis
guised appeared in one or two of
his stories of army border life.
Frederick Remington had his thin,

face in several of his paintings of

when Flanagan went west
with the Seventh in 1870 he was
first stationed at Fort Abraham
Lincoln, four miles south of Man
dan, and when he was retired from
service he went back to this town
to make it his home. Everybody
in the Dakotas either knew Sar-
gint Jimmy or knew of him. For
mer service men from all over the
region came to pay their last res
poets to him. There were a dozen
different uniforms-uniforms of
Civil war, veteran Indian
lighters, veterans of the Spanish
war, the Boxer rebellion and the

column which followed him to his
grave. Nothing could have suited
Jimmy better if he had
himself arranged his own funeral"

partments, instead of attempting to adopt
devices of questionable cOnstitutionality
to make existing national powers apply
to this new branch of human activity.
The report further states that neither
the public nor the legal profession APP
pears to be alive to the demands of the
situation. There is prevalent tendency,
it is asserted, to regard the problem as
primarily, if not exclusively, a military
problem whereas in fact it is primarily
commercial and economic problem, with
grave incidental features which lie in the
domain of jurisprudence and law, and de-
mand the aid of juriSts and lawyers.
Two Juristic Problems.
The two fundamental juristic problems
of aeronautics in this country are empha-
sized by the committee as follows:
Whether control should be exerted by
the national government, and whether
the power of such control should be con-
ferred by constitutional amendment or
seized under the claim of the exercise of
existing powers.
The committee expresses the belief that
recourse to a constitutional amendment
is desirable in providing regulation of air
service and at the same time admoniSheS
that the greatest care should be taken to
make it amply comprehensive because of
the fact that the art of flying is still in
its infancy. The committee also submits
a tentative constitutional amendment sug-
.gested by Major Eliza c. Johnson of the
United States army legal adviser to the
air service as follows:
The Proposed Amendment.
Congress shall have power to pro-
vide for regulating the use for air travel
of all air space over the earth and within
the borders of the United States and its
territories, and all countries over which
the United States has jurisdiction, includ-
ing the three-nile limit on the seas ; and
to provide for regulations of landing
fields. fixed code of signals and signs for
the navigation of the air and the landing
of aircraft
Congress shall have further power to
provide for the enforcement of said regu-
lations and establish air admiralty
courts, or grant to the existing courts
the jurisdiction of the admiralty law of
the air, which jurisdiction shall include
the punishment of all crimes committed
on aircraft, whether in the air or in port
at landing fields, and over all civil cases
over which admiralty courts now, or here
after, generally have jurisdiction. which
have their source in air travel"

CINCINNATI, Aug. 19.-One of the
most interesting and unusual features to

to be held here Aug. 80 to Sept. ,, will
be the matter of recommending the en-
actment of constitutional law to bring
about the proper solution of the demands
of aeronautics.
The recommendation that such action
be taken comes from a special committee
on the law of aviation, which in its re-
port to the executive committee of the
association expresses its hope that in the
enactment of any legislation by congress,
the most careful preliminary considera-
ton be given to the constitutional feat
ures of any proposed legislation, to the
end that it may be determined whether
the proper development and regulation
of aer0nauticS does not require a cOnSti-
