ACIOUS ANGLERS STORY
Most Preposterous Trout Ever Seen
Dragged Jake's Saddle Horse Into
Lake to a Watery Grave; Gigan-
tic Fish Attacked Missouri Steamer
and Has Rope Inside.
BY John B. Ritch

which" says Long Cast Jake, as
he watched the extraordinary display
of big trout in Paul Schulz's window,
I'm fishin' in Thompson's Lakes in
the fall of '85, and I'm usin' a sad
die horse to pull 'em out. They amt
no flies and fancy reels and things
in them days, so we fellers jest rides
down to the lakes when we wants fish
and ropes EN-.
You see, the fish in them waters
is big and they bankers all the time
and sea gulls that flies around the
lakes bein' their speciality. When a
careless mockin' bird or gull flies too
low over the water he's almost got
insurance that one of them big man
eatin' trouts is goin' up in the air
and get him. Many's the time I've
seen 'em jump SO high they'd get
caught in the overhanging branches
of the trees and linger there until
they died o. thirst. The Bullhead
Injuns sojournin' aroun' that section
always got their dried fish for the
winter from the ones that got caught
iumpin' into trees.
We'll, as I'm startin' to relate, I'm
ropin' fish down there the fall of '85,
and a sea gull scoots right by where
I'm straddle o. my rope horse. He
ducks down clost to the water and
the most preposterous trout l ever
seen makes the jump for him. AS he
does, my rope circles and lands fair
and square so that I tightens up with
the loop jest under his gills. Then
we starts inland, but we don't go no.
where and pretty POGO I notices we're
backin' up. It's jest then that | be-
gins feedin' the steel to that bronze
and he humps his back and digs in,
but he's drawed out on; he can't
make her. A minute more and he's
over the bank, with that RATA tied
firm to the horn, and I'm layin'
the best rope horse hat was ever
trained to catch fish movin' out sea-
at somethin' like forty-four
knots and a half a minute. That's
the last l ever sees of him, for when
the sovereign of all trouts reaches
deep water he jest naturally sinks
with him and I Tigers it out that he
becomes food for the entire trout
settlement of that country"

which they shoots with a cannon they
aboard and he has a strand of
rope hangin' in his gills.
from the description of the hondoo
would say the rope were mine, and
his is the trout that drownded my
lorse in Thompson's Lakes. Dusty
Miller figgers 1t out that this trout
must have portrayed acrost into ST.
Iary's and was maxim for the Gulf.
Jan Kennedy contends there might
some underground currents be-
ween the lakes, but Dusty" stands
lis hand on the portage route, which
wouldn't be more than nine mile, and

SERVED q YEARS
ON THE BENCH
CHIEF JUSTICE BRANTLEY OF
SUPREME COURT ANNOUNCES
HIS EARLY RETIREMENT.
Has Withdrawn His Candidacy to
Succeed Himself, on Account of
Poor Health; Served as Chief
Justice of Montana for Nearly a
Quarter of a Century.

Chief Justice Theodore BrantIey
has withdrawn his candidacy for re.
election in the present campaign
That information was conveyed in a
tlegram from Seattle, where Judge
Brantley is spending his summer
vacation, to Secretary of State c. t.
Stewart, and has been confirmed by
Mrs. Brantley who has remained at
her home in Helena this summer, and
who also had been advised of the de-
cision of the chief justice.
1t has been stated that Chief
Justice Brantly decided to retire from
the bench upon advice of his physici-
ans, who urged that he be relieved
of the work and worry in connection
with his official duties, and which
have impaired his health for several
months. 1t also has been stated that
upon his retirement he will seek a
complete rest Off an extended period.
With the completion of his term In
January Judge Brantley will have

supreme court without interruption
for a period of "a years. Nearly 40
years ago Judge Brantley located in
Deer Lodge where he practiced law,
later being elected district judge of
Powell and Deer Lodge counties, in
which capacity he served for nearly
eight years, giving him a service of
almost 30 years continuous service
on the district and supreme court
benches.
Judge Brantley succeeded Judge
William Y. Pemberton of Virginia
City as C hief justice, first qualifying
for that position on January 8, 1899,
and has ben reelected to every six
year term following. Soon after max
his announcement late last winter
that he would seek reelection this
time, Judge Brantley was stricken
with illness, and his health has been
affected during the present
When the supreme court
took its summer recess about a week
ago the chief justice, accompanied by
MS daughter, Miss Lois Brantley,
went to Seattle to seek a rest. !

HELD UP TRAIN SO HE COULD
GET OFF; DRAWS SENTENCE

From two to four years in the state
~penitentiary at Deer Lodge was the
sentence imposed upon John Va1lez,
a Mexican, by Judge Robert c.
Stong in district court at Billings
when the former pleaded guilty to
a charge of carrying concealed
weapons. Vallez held up a freight
train near Lockwood a few weeks ago
so that he might get off.
The Mexican, after having had diff
ficulties with a brakeman, climbed
upon the tender and with ~levelled re-
volver compelled the engineer to stop
the train. When the Mexican dropped
off, the brakeman, who had become
thooughly convinced that he had met
a bad hombre, rolled off on the other
side of the train and tried to get out
of range of the Mexican, who shot at
him under the cars. Vallez was pick
ed up later in Billings by county of
ficers with a gun in his possession
with n cartridge exploded. A charge
of assault in the first degree was also
filed against Vallez, but vas dropped
on his offering to plead guilty on the
concealed weapon charge.

and the Lower Geyser Basin, places
now known around the world for
their scenic beauty and extraordin-
airy natural phenomena.
The Cook-Folsom party might
have appropriated the desirable
sections of the park area for them
selves and reaped enormous profits
by its private exploitation. Instead
they urged that the region be re-
garded as the heritage of all the
people, and out of that suggestion
grew the proposal for the estab-
lishment of a national park-first
initiated by Judge Cornelius
Hedges of the Washburn-Langford
expedition which came to the Park
a year later.
The park now stands as a per-

Not every man has a monument
to his memory and achievements
covering 3,348 square miles.
c. w. Cook, of White Sulphur
Springs, Montana, president of the
Society of Montana Pioneers,
shares that honor with the other
early explorers of the region that
now comprises the Yellowstone
National Park.
Cook, now 80 years old, is the
only survivor of the first organic
ed exploring expedition into the
Yellowstone. The Cook-Folsom
expedition entered the park in 1869
when Indians and wild animals
were its only inhabitants. The ex-
petition made the first recorded
circuit of the Grand Canyon of the
Yellowstone, the Yellowstone lake

To Build Half Mile Track.

A new half mile track is being
built at the Montana State Fair
grounds and harness races will this
year be restored to the program after
six years without them.
1.-THE nearer any contest of speed
on the track is brought to the spec
tators the greater will be the in
terest," said B. T. Moore, secretary of
the fair. 1.-THE home stretch will be
the same as that of the old mile
track, before the grand stand, but the
horses will be clearly visible at every
point in the track"
A new racing circuit recently or
ganized will make it possible for
owners of horses to take their racers
from Mandan, N. D., the last week in
August, successfully to Aberdeen, S.
D., to the Midland Empire fair at
Billings, to the State Fair at Helena,
September rs to 80, and then to
Lewistown for the Central Montana

Julian Academy of Art, the most IA

graduated there with the highest
honors, being given the grand prix
of his class last May, and attracted
the attention of masters to such an
extent that he was looked upon as
one of the coming great painters OF
the time. His work was hung in
Chicago, and in the grand salon OF
the Julian Academy Of Art, and after
six years of art study he was pre-
pared to enter upon his career as an
artist.
Young Huotari was modest and re-
firing, a hard worker, thinking of
nothing but his art. His remarkable
ability was little known excepting
among a few friends and the masters
under whom he worked and these be-
lieved that he vas destined to become

this beautiful gem.
The blue Montana sapphires mined
by the New Mine Sapphire Syndicate,
should not be confused with the blu
ish-green, yellow, pink and white va
rieties of corundum crystals, which,
though o~btainabIe in large quantities
within the state, are of small COM

sapphire throughout the world is
synonymous with blue of a standard

Glendive just don't care if the Goa
strike is never settled, according t.
J. J.. Ermatinger, secretary of tn
GIendive chamber of commerce.
"It is an i'll wind that does no
blow somebody some good" sale
Ermatinger. "As far as Glendivt
and eastern Montana is concerned
the coal strike can go on indefinitely
Three years ago, fully 80 pei
sent of the coal burned in u city
was shipped in from Bear Creek, Rec
Lodge and other points. Today we
are about 100 per cent consumers Of
local coal.
"Our local utility was the last te
fall in line and hereafter will use
only local fuel. This means that ouI
territory will be lost permanently to
the outside producer and miner.
'eThis will mean keeping a con
siderable sum at home which former
ly was paid out for fuel.
"It seems to me that the people of
the western portion of the state fail
to realize fully the value of some of
the resources of eastern Montana.
"The speakers that / have heard
address the National Editorial asso-
citation almost wholly overlooked one
of the greatest natural of
the state.
Stretching from the Missouri
river westward to about Billings and
from the Canadian border to and
including the Black Hills, is what
is known to biologists as the Fort
Union coal region.
cit is probably the biggest coal
field in the world and certainly in
America. Underlying this field is
over one trillion and two hundred
billion tons of coal, according to
Professional Paper 1O0-A, issued by
the U. S. Geological survey.
"Of course, it is Ignite coal, but
in our vicinity it contains ver $500
b. t. II. or heat units, and as a whole
I should say it was about from 10 to
15 per cent lower in quality than
either Montana coal and other coal
shipped into the state. 1t is infin-
itely cheaper.
ITO me the development of that
coal is of greater value than all our
oil fields. When successfully bri-
quoted on a commercial basis and
with 10000 cubic feet of gas as a
b%y-product, one can readily perceive
the possibilities of eastern Montana
