SENTENCE TWO
FOR VIOLATIONS
| OF LIQUOR Law
Macy and Jurisich Each Given
so Day Terms and $500
Fines.

The April jury term of district
court, which did much to reduce COM
petition in the business of bootleg
ring, was concluded Tuesday when
two LIQUOR defendants, IN pleas Of
guilty. were sentenced to 60 day terms
in the county Jail and assessed fines
Of $500. Liquor vendors can properly
describe the term as "the most dis
a%strous" session of court in Cascade
county since the prohibition law went
into effect.
The men sentenced were Frank
Macy and Dan Jurisich, who had
previously maintained that they were
innocent Of charges of selling intoxi-
eating liquors.
Jurisich Changes Plea
Macy was brought before Judge
7. b. Leslie and Jurisich received his
sentence at the hands of Judge H. H.
Ewing. The last defendant, when his
trial came on for hearing, pleaded
sickness and then later informed the
court that he would plead guilty if
allowed sufficient time to arrange his
affairs.
Judge Leslie Tuesday ordered the
forfeiture of the $500 bail given in the
liquor cast against John Ballos, who
was tried and convicted by a jury
April 10. Ballos was not present dur
Ing the trial and he failed to respond
to an order for his appearance for
sentence, April %.
$1,000 Bond Hereafter
The court on that day, despite the
absence of Ballos, sentenced him to
80 days and a fine of 5000 and signed
an order commanding him to appear
May s for execution of the judgment.
Ballos' bondsmen are George Ger
AMOS and John Geanouils, both of
Great Falls.
Both judges recently reached the
agreement that hereafter. all alleged
liquor vendors must furnish 81, 900 bail
instead of $500. as has been required
since the prohibition law went into
effect. Bail in cases of liquor manu-
facture has always been fixed at
$1,000.

the same individual, who handles
horses in like manner, as well as,

many respects the old-time cowboy or

born, not made, and were in a dis

from the present day Montgomery

Days of the Cowboy.
He endured hardships that would
take the lives of many men, and was
therefore a perfect type of physical
manhood. AS a class, they were the
finest horsemen in the world and
their many feats of daring on horse
back, together with their d~exterity in
handling the 1ariat, made them excel,
in the sports of the field. He always
tried to be a dead shot and generally
was a bulls eye" hitter.
His life in the saddle, midst sun
shine and rain, heat and cold, made
him worship his horse, this fact
coupled with a good rifle and six
shooter and the pleasure of an easy
riding saddle completed his happi-
ness. A good cowboy outfit, in the

ordinary sense, or as it is generally
applied he knew nothing. He was {
diamond in the rough. uncouth, brave
and a most generous creature, ever
to a fault, who never lied or cheated
his employer and loyalty was one OF
their greatest characteristics.
1t is a great mistake to imagine
they were a dangerous set. Anyone
was as safe with them as with any
people in the world, unless he stole
a horse, or was hunting a fight. In
their eyes death was a mild punish
ment for horse stealing or cattle
rustling. Indeed it was the highest
crime known to the unwritten law of
the range. Their life, habits, educa-
ton and necessities bred this feeling
in them. But with all this disregard
for human life, there were less MUIR
derers and outlaws graduated from
the cowboys, than from among the
better educated classes of the east
who came west either for venture or
for gain.
1t was a strong trait among them
to appear and try to make themselves
out as being rougher and tougher
than they really were. To a tender
foot they loved and enjoyed to tell
blood-curdling stories and try to i'm

ing a real "badman" and brighten
him as to the dangers of the
frontier.
Time of Large Profits.
The expense of caring for cattle, in
herds of 1000 or more was about rs
cents per head in those days. Adding
taxes and all costs of producing a
steer worth at that time $50 and we
have a total of $3.50.
Stock raising is no longer an ex-
pertinent. The most severe winters
have failed to destroy the industry.
Perhaps at times speculation and in
experience have caused some very
heavy losses. Previously to 1878-79l
the average loss of cattle from storms
near as can be ascertained, was
between 3 and 4 per cent. In the
of 1878-79 the loss reached
about s per cent. In the following
the losses we're also unusually
Such losses generally occur
red in new herds, driven into the rich
of the territory late in the fall
while still in a very weak and poor
condition.
Again in 1886-87 the winter losses
exceedingly heavy. This was the
season that produced Montana's fam

headwaters of the Salmon by Fort
Hays and over the Republican, then
onward to the South Platte, where
there was located a big COW camp
known as Ogalala. From this point
the drive followed the Platte river
over the Oregon trail to Fort Lara
ME, Wyoming. Then on over the
Bozeman road. At times it skirted
the Black Hills in Dakota and again
it veered westward to the base of
the Big Horn range. Along the head
waters of the Powder and Tongue
rivers, the hunting grounds of the
! Crows and the Sioux Indians, the
home of the trapper and the scene of
many a conflict with the Indians,
were now marked by the trail of the
COW. The Long Drive" also at
times followed the tributaries of the
Yellowstone to the Missouri, thence
over the trail of the early explorers,
Lewis and Clark, to the Marias river
and the land of the Blackfeet In
dians, the ancient domain of the buff
falo.
Start of Industry.
Stock raising commenced in Mon
tana on a small scale as early as
1862. The immediate cause was the
necessity for supplying mining
camps with beef. The cattle thrived
remarkably we'll on the rich virgin
ranges and during the following
years, 1863-64, stock raising had as
sumed large proportions, cattle were
driven in in large droves, ranches
were established in numbers and in
1864 the territorial legislature was
called upon to enact a law governing
marks and brands, which act was
passed and duly approved February
1, 1865.
Under this law all marks and
brands were recorded with the county
legislature passed an act in relation
to marks and brands, which was ap-
proved January 10, and went into ef-l
feet August /, 1872, making the
county clerk and recorder offices
auxiliary offices for the recording of
marks and brands and the clerk of
the supreme court a general office
for for recording brands.
Accordingly, l. r. Alden, clerk of
the supreme court, then located at
Virginia City, was the first general
recorder of marks and brands. In
1877 the law was again changed, this
time making the territorial treasurer,
the general recorder. On his books
in 1880 appears the names OF PSI
people owning brands of record.
an act passed March 8, 1887,
made the secretary of the board of
stock commissioners the general
recorder of marks and brands. At
this time about $500 brands were
record. When the present live
stock commission absorbed the office

The raising of cattle in Mon
ana followed the closely upon
the determination of the buffalo.
So long as these native herds
roamed the prairies there was
meat, but as they diminished
rapidly under the wanton butch
cry of the hide hunter, it was
necessary to replace them with
beef steers.
The livestock industry is consider
ed n of the greatest developments
of Montana. In the early days it not
only represented enormous wealth,
but it was also a phase of life char
acteristic of the vast plains and sur
rounded with the true atmosphere
of the great west.
The northern migration of cattle
from Texas and other southern states
occurred for the same reason that
governed the movements of the buff
falo. Spring comes earlier in the
warm and balmy south and the grass
begins to grow long before the snow
is off the north land. Later as the
heat of the summers sun became
more intense and the grass became

vast herds "drifted' north, where the
weather was cool and the grass was
fresh and green. For this reason the
autumn months found thousands up
on thousands of cattle ranging in the
then great territory of Montana.
This migration was known as the
f'long drive" Five months were con-
sumed in the journey from Texas to
Montana. The cattle generally in
those days were of the 'long horn"
and "mossy back" variety, wild as
a deer and gifted with the speed Of a
swift running horse. In the late SOS
more than a half million head of
cattle came north over the long
drive"
This was a well-defined and estab-
lished route, known as the chisholm
Trail" extending from the Gulf coast
of Texas to Indian Territory. This
trail was named after Jesse Chisholm
of Texas, who had a government con-
tract in the late sos to remove some
5000 Wichita and affiliated tribes of
Indians to Indian Territory. This
camp was located at a point where
Chisholm and Cow Skin creeks empty
into the Arkansas river.
The continuation of this trail cross
ed the Santa Fe river at Dodge City,
Kansas, the toughest town in the
world at the time, whose celebrated
"Boot-Hill' cemetery was well filled
with graves of those who died with
their "boots on" Dodge City in those
days was the general rendezvous for
the toughest characters on earth, out
laws Of all kinds flocked there in
droves. Gambling in all forms and its
attendant vices were "wide open"
and murder and thuggery thrived.

bes from ogden, Utah, in 1874.
These cattle we're purchased out of
the Sun River herd of Conrad
Kohrs. In the same year John B. Al
len purchased a large band of steers
in Madison county and shipped them
from Granger on the Union Pacific
railroad. In 1876 Conrad Kohrs
drove a bunch of cattle from his Sun
River range and shipped from Chey-
enne.
Before the coming of the Northern
Pacific railroad to the Territory of
Montana, cattle we're driven humid
reds of miles to the various points
of shipment. In the early operations
of the Northern Pacific railway it
took a car of cattle six or seven days
to reach the Chicago market.

In the great days of the range, the
general roundup" lasted from three
to four weeks. The home range
roundups then took place and the
branding began. In 1874 the legisla-
ture of Montana territory enacted a
law providing that the county com
missioners should divide their re-
spective counties into not less than
three, nor more than ten stock
districts, with a place designated in

purchased of P. Largey, who was at
that time agent for Edward Creigh-

Salt Lake market and also to be used
in filling contracts along the Union
Pacific railroad. In the following
spring a bunch of about 200 head of
cattle were driven from the Beaver
head and sold to Colonel Johns Of

It is condition that ought not to exist. Highways ought to be safer in- stead of becoming more dangerous.
