The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1922-03-16

Two years previous to this time,
though, another train led by Captain
Fiske and composed of about 80
wagons was passing through the
country now known as the Gallatin
valley. Near the present site of
Bozeman n of the wagons Jagged
behind a distance of about two miles.
It's absence was not noted for some
time and when leaders of the train
returned along the trail it was to
find the wagon a smoking heap of
embers and the bodies of the man
and his family scattered through the
ruins. The Indians had waited I'M
passed out of hearing and then had
swooped down on their helpless vic
tins and murdered them.
The train of which Kern was a
member, however, was better equip
ped for the long ordeal and any at
tacks that might be directed against
them by the Indians. Besides a
large armory of small guns and a
large quantity of ammunition, the
train was also protected by three
pieces of artillery. Their progress
across the plains averaged about IA
miles a day and it required more
than three months to make the trip
from Red River to Helena.
Shut in During Winter
Although he is now going on his
seventy-sixth year, Kern is still hale
and hearty and clings to an out-of-
doors life. Because of the heavy
SHOWS that make travel impossible
during the greater portion of the win
ter, the old prospector is compelled
to lay in his winter supply of food
during the early fall.
But here other difficulties are to
be encountered. There are no wa
gon roads leading up the gulch to
his place and because of the condi-
ton of the trail it is impossible to
take a horse into that country.
AS a result he packs all of his sup
plies over the mountains on his back,
a feat that would tax the energy and
endurance of even a young man. J

clares was the third largest nugget
ever discovered in Montana. The
lump of gold weighed 81 ounces and
was sold for $1,228. Only two lar
ger nuggets we're ever discovered in
the history of the state, he declares.
In 1862 a nugget which brought
the owner $500 was found at Hell
ena, while a still larger one was dis
covered three years later in the
Blackfoot country. The latter was
sold for $4,000.
In the summer time Kern still
works a placer claim and as evidence
that the gold is still there, the old
prospector carries with him a small
bottle containing shining bits of the
precious metal, which he declares he
has taken from his ground. Luck
has always worked against him, but
next year? Well, he will surely make
his cleanup next year and then he
is going to quit and take life easy.
BY Wagon Train
Practically eve since he became
of age, John Kern has spent his life
on the western frontier. In the fall
of 1866, it was, when he started out
with a wagon train to cross the plain
from Red River, N. D., to Helena.
The train, which numbered ESQ wa
CONS, was reported to have been the
longest that ever attempted to cross
the western plains.
The young army of immigrants was
intrusted to the hands of Captain
Bob Fiske, who had been detailed by
the government to take charge of
the outfit. Through hundreds OF
miles of wild country that was liter
ally infested by Indians they came.
Among the great Indian chieftains
who attempted to block their prog
and ambush them was Sitting
Bull with some 5000 warriors.
With the aid of his half-breed
scouts, however, Captain Fiske had
learned of the intended attack OF
Bull and at the eleventh hour
changed his course, making a detour
the country in which the attack
was scheduled to take place.

Under the organic act the duty
of canvassing the votes of all coun-
ties devolved on the governor and
his proclamation directed that all
returns certified under oath with
poll books should be forwarded to
him at Bannack within IL days
and later he canvassed them and is

for a few days. On the evening of
his arrival he was given a serenade
and welcome to the territory. The
general made an eloquent response
and was followed by Governor Ed
gerton, who announced that he
was leaving for the east. Messrs.
Hopkins, Mcdonald and Miller also
made addresses.

Edgerton Goes East

The secretary was the disbursing
officer under the territorial regime
for the government but for 10
months Montana had been without
a secretary and Governor Edgerton
had carried the executive depart
ments along, himself advancing
such necessary funds as it was i'm
perative to furnish and the occasion
of his trip east was to secure a
settlement with the department at
Washington and to put his children
in school at the old home of Akron.
He did not resign the office of gov
ernor until the summer of 1866. He
left Bannack on September Is and
on the 9th Secretary Meagher as
sumed the office of acting zee

as follows:

Another provision of the organic
act is of passing interest. Cover
nor Edgerton had lived at Bannack
for the previous eight months as
chief justice of Idaho, but had been
unable to qualify for the reason
that there was no person qualified
to administer oaths east of the
mountains. For that reason no
courts were held and the vigilantes
of Virginia City and Alder gulch
and Bannack had his sympathy and
cooperation during the following
winter. Judge Edgerton went to
Washington in February and secur-
ed the passage of the organic act
referred to, and section II, among
other matters, provides that "any
person who has heretofore been ap-
pointed chief justice or associate
justice of the territory of Idaho,
who has not yet taken the oath of
office, as prescribed by the act or
ganizing said territory, may take
said oath or affirmation before the
chief justice or some associate JUS
tice of the supreme court of the
United States" Judge Edgerton
was shortly thereafter nominated
and confirmed and on June p was
commissioned as governor of Mon
tana.
Enumerating First Votes
The organic act put the whole
machinery of the first election in
the hands of the governor, the time
when it should be held and the
places where precincts were to be
established, the judges and clerks
of such election, although in this
matter he was liberal and permitted
places to be opened and
judges appointed for the conven-
fence of any considerable settle
ments omitted and returns made of

Meagher in Charge

Before leaving, Governor Edger-
ton turned all of the archives of
the territory over to Secretary
Meagher and on the 9th Secretary
and Acting Governor Meagher put
all of the archives of the territory
of Montana in the pocket of his
buffalo overcoat and started for
Virginia City, which had eight
months previously been designated
as the capital but had as yet not
enjoyed the presence of any Off
cial representing the executive de-
partment except a short visit from
Governor Edgerton during the
summer.
Transferring to Virginia City
Secretary and Acting Governor
Meagher spent the night of Sept.
81 at Stones Ranch. Ex-Governor
Edgerton was in Idaho on his way
to Salt Lake City. No territorial
OlllSldl lldu do thS
office at Virginia City. Secretary
and Acting Governor Meagher and
the archives of the territory were
at Stones Ranch SO that I believe
that the court will hold that the
capital of Montana for that night
was at Stones Ranch. Next day
General Meagher proceeded to Vir-
City and took rooms at the
house, one Of the leading
hotels, where he was given a sere-
made and where speeches we're
made. The next day he announced
that he had established his resi-
dence at the capital and would at
tend to the transaction of official
business until further notice at the
of Attorney General Medley
in the courthouse. Thus was the
of Montana removed from
Bannack to Virginia City.

Too much meat may form uric acid,
which clogs the kidney pores so that

the blood; then you get sick. Rheu-

nervousness, constipation. dizziness,
