the old west. His first introduction
TO what Il now Montana but what was
then Z part Of the Idaho territory,
was In . battle with the Sioux In
dams in the Yellowstone valley.
Later, as . Vigilante, he helped make
the state Q safe and law-respecting
community and played an important
part In shaping the affairs Of the
territory when It was created.
He left Minnesota in 1854 and
crossed the plains with Z wagon train
Of 129 OK teams. He was elected
captain Of the outfit and was COM
mander when they ran into the In
dian fight In the Yellowstone and
Joined forces with General Sully.
Sully had 1900 men in his command
and these, with the emigrants, were
successful in routing the Indians,
whose number was estimated at up-
wards of 5000. After the battle
the party journeyed to a point near
what Is now Helena, the trip taking
126 days. When gold was discovered

$12,0OO,O0O estate of Mrs. Mary T
Hill, widow of the famous ''empirt
builder" developing out of divided
opinion regarding the appointment Of
an administrator for the estate tool
different angle when it was an.
nounced in Minneapolis that Walter
J. Hill, youngest son of the late
James j. Hill, and who has large in.
terests in Montana, had left the ranks
Of the h ,irs opposing Louis w. Hill
as administrator and had Joined
forces with his brother Louis in the
controversy.
Until this break in the legal and
bitter verbal battle among the heirs
but one heir, Mrs. Mary H. Hill OF
Washington, had agreed to the ap-
pointment of Louis Hill as admins
traitor and seven others represented
the opposing faction, petitioning for
the appointment of the Northwestern
Trust company of st. Paul as admin
istratOrs to the estate. Mrs. Mary
Hill and Louis Hill have contended
that such an appointment would be
unfair because it would evolve tech
nicalities affecting many other inter-
ests than the actual division of the
property among the legitimate heirs.
Those opposing the appointment of
Louis W. Hill are these heirs: James
N. Hill. Mrs. Ruth Beard and Mrs.
Gertrude Gavin, all of New York;
Mrs. Clara Lindley, St. Paul; Mrs.
Charlotte Slade, White Bear, Mimi,
and Mrs. Rachel Boeckman, St. Paul.
1t is reported that close friends of
the Hill family have been severely
shocked by the bitterness of the af-
fidavits filed and it is generally con-
ceded by friends of the family that
outside interests are influencing heirs
in the family quarrel. It is pointed
out that with the naming of the ad-
ministrator Of the estate also goes
the control of the Northwestern Trust
company and probably ultimately the
control of many other large interests
accumulated and directed by the
''empire builder
Efforts to adjust the differences
between the two factions have failed
and the whole controversy will come
into public view January 27 when
hearing on opposing petitions for let
ters OF administration will begin in
the county probate court.
All OF the heirs have expressed
regret that the matter of settlement
of the estate could not be settled out
Of court. but friction Immediately
arose over certain gifts made to Louis
Hill by his mother. These gifts in
clude North Oaks farm, the old home
stead which was the pride and hobby
of James ]. Hill, and bonds amount
ing to $73S,00O. Louis Hill contend
ed that he had right to hold these
gifts apart. The other heirs held
that they should be included with the
rest of the estate.
