Indians, Black feet included. Pres
ents were also sometimes thrown in
to the Missouri river, though these
were not offerings to the stream but
to the underwater people who lived
in it.
Aside from these, probably the
only object that could be classed as
an idol was I-his-kim, the Buffalo
Stone, generally held in high esteem
by the whole Blackfoot c~onfederacy,
and described BY Grinnell as
"A small stone which is usually a
fossil shell of some kind. This OBJ
ject is strong medicine" and, as in
Dictated in some of his stories, gives
the possessor great power with buff
falo." The stone is found on the
prairie, and the person who succeeds
in obtaining n is regarded as very
fortunate. Sometimes a man who
is riding along on the prairie will
hear a peculiar faint chirp. such as
a little bird might utter. The sound
he knows is made by a buffalo rock.
He stops and searches on the ground
for the rock and if he cannot find
it, marks the place and very likely re-

others from the camp, to look for
it again. If it is found, there is
great rejoicing. How the first buff
falo rock was obtained and it's power
made known, is told in the follow
ing story:
Long ago, in the winter time, the
buffalo suddenly disappeared. The
snow was so deep that the people
could not move in search of them,
for in those days they had no horses.
So the hunters killed deer, elk and
other small game along the river bot
toms, and when these were all killed
off or driven away, the people began
to starve.
One day a young married nan
killed a jack rabbit. He was so hun
cry that he ran home as fast as he
could, and told one of his wives to
hurry and get some water to cook
it. While the young woman was
going along the path to the river she
heard a beautiful song. 1t sounded
by, but she looked around and
could see no one.
The song seemed to come from a
cottonwood tree neal the path. Look
ing closely at this tree she saw a

Blackfoot crossing, when he noticed
as he was riding along on the prairie
a small Indian boy alone and evident
ly in distress. Colonel Stanford rode
up to the child and asked him in the
Blackfeet tongue what the matter
was. The boy whimpering from hun.
ger and weakness, said his mother
had died, and that another wife that
his father had taken abused him and
finally drove him out of their lodge.
He had been left behind to starve on
the prairie.
Colonel Stanford took pity on the
little fellow and took him up be-
hind him on his horse. Together
they rode SO miles to Fort Mcleod.
There the police sergeant made the
boy discard his ragged clothing and
take a bath, and then dressed him
up in a police uniform which he
had cut down for him. For several
years, as long as Colonel Stanford
remained in the Mounted Police, he
kept the lad, who evidenced the great
est affection for his benefactor and
vas remarkably faithful in perform
ing whatever services he could. Col
onel Stanford named the boy Sepeny
-"He-Who Steals = by : Night" the
"Steal' being used in the sense of
proving" and not meaning thiey-
ing.
When Colonel Stanford went to
Fort Benton in the early SOS he left
the boy in Canada, but later sent for
him, and for some time he lived at
the colonel's establishment and did
odd jobs around the house. Finally
Sepeny returned to the Blackfeet res
ervation in Alberta near Gleichen,
where he has remained since.
Christmas eve, 1920, Colonel Stan
ford heard that Sepeny, or Bear
Chief, as he is known now, was in
Great Falls, having come to spend
Christmas with his old friend who
had saved his life as a child. With
him he had his wife, Minnie, a fine
looking full-blood Blackfeet woman.
The colonel went out to find them,
and when he ran across them on the
street he recognized Bear Chief at
once. The meeting vas an extreme
ly happy one, and for more than a
week the Blackfeet and his wife re-
NAMED in Great Falls as Colonel
Stanford's guest. BY day the Indian
and his squaw went to moving pic
ture shows and saw the other sights
of the town, also paying a visit to
the studio of Charles M. Russell and
marveling at the paintings of the
artist. One day they spent in Fort
Benton, revisiting old N In the
evenings Bear Chief talked yer old
times with the colonel. After a part
ing of SO years they thoroughly en-

Major l.. A. Foot of Choteau will
be assistant attorney general of
Montana under Wellington d. Ran
kin, attorney general-elect.
The appointment of Mr.. Foot is an
nounced by Mr.. Rankin, after the lat
ter had rendered the position to the
Choteau man and it had been accept
ed.
Mr.. Foot was a candidate for the
republican nomination for attorney
general in the primaries last August,
being a close contender for the place.
He is a native of Minnesota, though
he spent most of his boyhood days
upon a ranch in North Dakota.
Largely through his own efforts he
acquired his education, finishing in
the North Dakota university, where
he was graduated from the law
school.
In 1906 Mr.. Foot moved to Kalls-
pell and in 1913 again moved to Cho-
teau, where he since has practiced
law. He was married in 1910 to Miss
Clara Pitts, of Iowa, and they have
two children.
When the call to arms came in
1917, l.. A. Foot was the first man
in Teton county to respond and there
he began a brillian career as a SOL
der. He helped to organize and
trained a machine gun company,
which he commanded until he was
promoted to be instructor in machine
gun warfare, later being made divi-
sion machine gun officer and assist
ant chief of staff.
General Pershing assigned the
Montana man to be head of the school
of machine gun experts in France;
where the machine gunners of every
division received their final training
before going into action for the first
time.
The appointment of Mr.. Foot is
not only the recognition of his ability
but is a graceful compliment on the
part of the successful candidate to a
worthy opponent.

VAUDEVILLE HAS
GOOD FISH STORY
FATHER BATENS RAISES FINE
CROP OF TROUT IN HIS
FOUNTAIN
Sells Privilege of Fishing to His Par
ishioners, at Five Cents a Minute
and Raises Nice Sum for Parish
Fund; Fish Had Been Fed and
Would Not Bite.

One of the best fish stories having
the merit of truth comes from Walk
erville. Father Batens, the priest in
charge of the Walkerville parish, has
a large fountain in his front yard. In
the spring a friend gave him AZ
live trout, fine large fellows, which
he put in the big basin. The fish
grew fast. He fed them plenty and
counted them regularly as a shepherd
counts his flock. Passersby often
stopped to look at the fish and small
boys tempted them with string and
bent pins. Many persons, jokingly,
asked the priest for the privilege of
fishing in his fountain.
AS autumn approached a problem
arose-the basin had to be drained
in the winter months. In any event
it would freeze solid, so the fish must
be removed.
One Sunday Father Batens made
an announcement at each mass. He
told his parishioners that inasmuch
as many had asked for the privilege
of fishing in his fountain he had de-
cided to permit them to do so.
On a certain day, which was a hOli-
day, all might fish for the big fat
trout who SO desired. There were
certain restrictions, also a small fee.
He would charge 10 cents for two
minutes fishing. Everybody was in
vited.
On the day stated he needed sew
eral helpers to keep time and take
the money. There was scarcely stand
ing room beside the pool. Some came
up from Butte. For bait they used
flies, worms, ,spinners and all known
contraptions. For several hours
money simply rained, but no n
caught any fish. Two minutes passes
very quickly when one is fishing and
the dimes grew into dollars in short
notice. But nobody caught any fish.
The Al big, fat trout circles around
and around in endless meanderings.
They shifted the bait, looked at the
tackle, they jumped and frolicked,
but not one con~descended to bite.
That night, when the last fisher
man had gone away with empty bas-
ket, the parish of st. Lawrence was
enriched by the incredible sun of
$3.50. OF course the secret came out
in time. Father Batens had arisen
early and had fed the fish chopped
liver until the hungriest of them
would eat no more. The reason they
didn't bite was because they had no
appetite.
In a few days Father Batens took
out all the fish, and saving only a
mess for himself, distributed the bal
ance to some poor families of his ac-

THE BUFFALO STONES OF THE gLAGKFEET;
LANDSCAPE OBJECTS HELD 1M REVERENCE
BY JOE DE YONG

The true plains Indian was little
given to the worship of idols, unlike
some of the older, less nomadic tribes
of the Pacific coast and the great
southwest. In the religion of the
coast tribes the Totem pole played a
principal part while among the
Pueblo Indians idols of various kinds
were worshipped, these rites being
carried on in a very elaborate man
ner among the Aztecs.
OF the plains Indians, the Black
feet-aside from general worship of
the sun and earth-each had a per-
sonal charm or secret helper, gener-
ally the spirit of some animal sup
posedly given to them, in a dream, by
the sun. Again, according to Grin
nell, n his Blackfoot Lodge tales,
there were certain places and mani
mate objects which were greatly rev.
erenced by the Blackfeet, and pres
ents were sometimes made to these.
For instance the smallest of the
three uttes of the Sweet Grass hills
was regarded as sacred. Another
sacred object was the Medicine Rock
of the Marias. 1t is a huge boulder
of reddish sandstone, t%wo-thirds of
the way up a steep hill on the north
band of the Marias river about five
miles from old Fort Conrad. For
merly, this rock rested on the top
of the bluff, but, as the soil about
it is worn away by the wind and the
rain it is slowly moving down hill.
The Indians thought it to be alive
and made presents to it.
Down on Milk river, east of the

Sweet Grass hills, is another medi-
cine rock. 1t is shaped like a person
sitting on top of the bluff. When
ever the Blackfeet passed this rock
they made presents to it. In the big
bend of the Milk river, opposite the
eastern end of the Little Rocky
mountains, lying on the prairie, is a
great grey boulder, which is shaped
like a buffalo bull lying down. This
was greatly reverenced by all plains

queer rock damned in a fork, where
the tree was split, and with it a
few hairs from a buffalo which had
rubbed there. The woman was
frightened and dared not pass the
tree. Pretty oon the singing stop
ped, and the I-nis-kim (buffalo rock
spoke to the woman and said: Take
me to your lodge and when it is dark
call in the people and teach them the
song you have just heard. Pray, too,
that you may not s~tarve, and the
buffalo may come back. Do this and
when day comes, your hearts will
be glad"
The woman went on and got some
water, and when she came back, took
the rock and gave it to her husband,
telling him about the song and what
the rock had said. AS soon as it was
dark, the man called the chiefs and
old men to his lodge, and his wife
taught them this song. They pray
ed, too, as the rock had said should
be done. Before long, they heard
a noise far off. 1t was the tramp of
a great herd of buffalo coming. Then
they knew that the rock was very
powerful and ever since that the
people have taken care of it and
prayed to it.

usually small ammonites, or sections
of Faculties or sometimes merely odd
