sional bull-whacker in action was
a most satisfying sight, and the
pull up Main street was their
dress parade. With a whip, the
stock of which, about six feet long,
had been carefully fashioned out
of properly tough timber and with
a lash that would reach four or six
Jokes ahead, and Pepper on the
end that would bite out bunch
of hair wherever it landed, the
dirty, tousled pilots of the creak-
ing, swaying craft would wake the
town with their sonorous and melo-
dious warnings to their teams,
punctuated continually with the
sharp spit of the pepper as it
landed on some poor, patient
brute's hide and jumped away, res
ponsive to the backward swirl of
the lash, deity impaired by the ex-
pert twenty or thirty feet away.
There were old fellows in those
trains who had never done any,
thing else but 'whack bulls all
their lives. They had started in
when the Union Pacific was build
ing across the continent just after
the war, freighting to points be-
yond, and when the railroad took
their job away they found it again
freighting from rail points into the
north, but finally the railroads had
beaten them back to this strip of
No Mans Land in the Yellow
stone valley; that the Indians had
held supreme control of until
year or two before. Here the fad
ed glory of the 'bull-train' was for
a time restored and here it vanish
ed for good and all. The mule
train, companion picture, was
never as interesting or as pictur-
esque as the bull-train. The mule
skinner rode wheeler and guild
ed his team with jerk line. Any
loafer could do that, but it took
an artist to pilot string of bulls
along a side-hill road with a top
heavy load and the trail wagon
pulling dead against you. 1t was
a dogs life as far as the comforts
and amenities went. The menu
rarely went beyond black coffee,
sour-dough bread and 'sow-belly'
fried in skillet in its own grease
thickened with flour and of camp
shelter there was none for the men
were too tired at night to arrange
any but the most primitive protec-
ton and they pulled too early in
the morning to do any breaking
, camp Summer was bad enough
r but the slow and uncertain creep
t of bull-train on the road in VIM
ter was an experience to be endur-
ed only once by anyone but real
, bull-whacker. Why he endured it
e he probably could not explain but
there was possibly an element of
: personal pride and ambition in it
that had its brief display on the
/, occasions mentioned, when the
e train rolled into town and the fine
4 points of the profession were
$ shown. 1t was fleeing glory,
t though, for an hour after the train
$ had been parked all hands were
$ too drunk to tell their own names
:. and were swallowed up in the swirl

e force were one by one thrown of

Extension OF the railroads., more
than so years ago, over the trade
routes of the west, and the evolu-
ton of the pioneer railway from
the narrow gauge, commonly
known as the turkey trail" into
the heavier and more substantial
standard gauge, marked the end
of the bull and mule trains of the
prairies and the passing of that
type of transportation, which had
SO much to do with the develop
ment of the west. Little has been
written of the freighting industry
of the west, and this phase of from
tier life has become almost COM
pletely obscured by the passing
wears.
An epic of the far west Of half
a century ago might be written
around the "bull" train, which car
ried supplied of all sorts to the gold
camps, the frontier trading posts,
the military forts and the Indian
agencies OF the great area lying be-
tween the Mississippi river and the
Rocky Mountains. Today that wild
and picturesque territory lives only
in the memories of a handful of
grizzled pioneers. The names of
towns that were important as dis
tributing points have been forgot
ten and are remembered only as
ghost cities of the west. There
were many of these, but few
achieved in their day the import
ance of the town of Carroll, which
for two or three years made its bid
as a rival of Fort Benton, which
for two decades, between 1870 and
1890, was head of steamboat navi-
cation on the Missouri river.
Carroll, which had an existence
of only a few years, was establish
ed by Matt Carroll, after whom it
was named; E. G. Maclay, George
Steele and Colonel Charles A.
Broadwater, owners of the great
Diamond R Transportation Com
pany, in its day the greatest
freighting concern between the
Mississippi and the Pacific coast.
1t represented the second effort to
found a successful rival to Fort
Benton as a freight debarking
point for Missouri river steamboats,
from St. Louis, Sioux City and
other down-river points.
The town of Carroll was built in
1874, at time when river traffic
had assumed great proportions. In
1865, due to low water in the river
steamboats, bound for Fort Benton
with supplies for the gold camps
had been unable to ascend farther
up the river than the mouth of the
Yellowstone, and had unloaded al
trading post conducted by Major
F. D. Pease. Colonel Broadwater
who had charge of actual freight
ing operations for the Diamond r
took several trains of wagons and
went down to Pease's post, neat
Fort Union, to bring back the
freight from the steamboats, tt
Helena. He located fords, bull,
grades up and down the river
banks, and built a road along the
line that the Great Northern fol
lows today. 1t was while on this
trip to the mouth of the Yellow
stone with his wagon trains tina,
the idea of a road from some point
lower down the river than For
Benton, south across through thu
Judith country, to the gold camp.
of Last Chance, Diamond City ane
The Powder River County examiner and the Broadus independent. [volume] (Broadus, Mont.) 1919-1935, 1922-11-10

Virginia City, first occurred to
Colonel Broadwater. He felt that
it would be an easier trail to travel
that the road from Fort Benton to
the gold camps, and would also be
shorter. Another great advantage
was that debarking place lower
than Fort Benton could be reached
earlier in the season and later in
the fall by steamboats, than Fort
Benton. The arguments were ex-
actly the same as those advanced
for the establishment of town at
the mouth of the Musselshell. But
it was nine years before he and his
associates put his ideas into effect
and established Carroll.
Mem Who Built Carroll
The three partners who were
most active in the operation of the
great Diamond r company and
who established Carroll, were
among the outstanding men of
the Rocky Mountain region half
a century ago.
Matt Carroll's name has almost
passed into oblivion, although he
died at Helena only a dozen years
ago, at the age of u. He was a
native of Ireland, coming to Amer
lea in 1854 at the age of II. In
1855 he came up the Missouri river
to Fort Pierre, Dakota, working as
a clerk in the suffers store. In
1859 he arrived at Fort Benton
with a stock of general merchan.
disc for the post traders. The TRIP
was made from Fort Stewart on 3
large keel boat which had to bt
cordelled, or pulled, by a gang Of
men on the bank by means of {
long rope and as it was found i'm
possible to drag the boat farther
than Fort Brute, above the mouth
of the Marias, the cargo was there
put ashore and packed the rest O
the way by land.
