When Spring Comes to London.

In the long lane that leads to spring
the first new leaf Of brush or tree Is
the honeysuckle, next Is the elders,
and now at last the green buds appear
on the hawthorns, and break into leaf,
so that a forward hedge is dappled
with verdure. The wood sallows, with
their satin-soft cushions Of down,
make silvery illumination in umber-
hued woods, and the cushions are fast
opening into golden flowers. Red and
lumber shades are the first colors Of

nounce the consideration involved,
the deal is said to have carried a
substantial cash payment with the
Troy-Sweetgrass to share in the pro-
duction. Mr.. Hurley announced that
the Ohio holdings now total approx
mately 5000 acres in the neighbor-
hood of the S%unburst No. l well OF
the Sunburst Oil and Gas company.
Four trucks passed through Great
Falls a few days ago, bound for the
field, and four rigs are on the way
to be used in drilling operations.
Drilling on a part of the acreage of
the Troy-Sweetgrass will be begun
at once, Mr.. Hurley said.
While the company has its drilling
equipment on the way to the field,
the plans of development have not
reached the stage of making drilling
locations, which will be outlined by
Mr.. McFadden, who will be in charge
of field operations, according to Mr..
Hurley.
The Ohio company recently pur-
chased 800 acres offset and nearby
to the Sunburst producer from the
Sunburst Oil and Gas, the descrip-
ton being the northwest quarter of
Section 3 and the northwest quarter
of Section 4, Township 35 north,

AFTER 40 YEARS, FIND CUSTER FIGHT HERO
WHO WON CONGRESSIONAL HONOR MEDAL

tead of the column in the parade
directly following President Harding
IhompsOn'S experience at the time
OF the Custer fight and the fact that
ne was awarded the Congressional
Medal for his heroism on that occa-
sion, was known to but few of the
citizens of his home county until the
invitation was extended to him to
attend the celebration in Washing
ton last fall, with all his expenses
paid.
Thompson was a member of COM
pany c, Seventh cavalry, Captain
Tom Clusters command, and but for
the fact that his horse gave out, he
would have been n of the men to
perish in that memorable conflict be-
tween the whites and the reds.
While Thompson has not received
as much publicity as some others
who were engaged in Indian wars
in the early days of the west on ac-
count of his retiring disposition,
those who have studied the history
OF the Seventh cavalry are familiar
with the story of his heroism.
W. M. Camp, of Chicago, historian
OF the Seventh cavalry and Indian
wars, says of Thompson:
This man Thompson is a modest
fellow. Ask him about the Medal of
Honor that was awarded him in
1878. If he does not tell you why
this was given to him, here it is from
the records of the war department:
After having voluntarily brought
water to the wounded, in which eff
fort he was shot through the head,
he made two more successful trips
for the same purpose, notwithstand-
ing the remonstrances of his ser
geant.'
ton in which this deed was per-
formed took place on the Little Big
Horn, Montana, June 25, 1876, a
day that will be remembered in the
worlds history as long as Thermo-
pylae.
1.-THE word head in the above
quoted sentence is evidently a mis-
spelling of hand, as the official re-
port of the wounded shows that he
was wounded in the hand. In this
connection it should be understood
that the two dates, June 25 and 26,
properly go together, for the fight
ing was fast and furious on both
Historian Camp tells an interest
ing story of his search for Peter
which extended over a
period of several years. While Camp
was writing up the battle of the Lit
tie Big Horn, Sergeant Knipe told
him about four men who struggled
behind Clusters command, or in some
way had been left behind; Custer
and Reno had separated and these
four men got back to Reno's COM
mand before the Sioux fell foul of
hem. Knipe told Camp that if he
could find Peter Thompson, who was
one of these four men, he could prob
give him some interesting in
concerning incidents and
of the famous battle.
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1922-06-29

Thompson and a companion nam
ed Watson, tried their best to over
take Clusters command, even running
on foot after their horses had given
out; and but for the vigilance of the
Indians they would have succeeded,
and their names would now be on
the monument in the long list that
is headed with the name of George
Armstrong Custer.
THAT these two men came from
the direction of the sound of Clusters
firing, and Joined Reno's command,
I had a~bundantly verified by indis-
putable testimony of eye witnesses
before I had ever seen Thompson or
heard of him. And yet he had sue
in keeping out of print for
forty years"
The territory which is now Carter
county, where Thompson now lives,
was, in 1876, in the same county
in which the Custer battle was

OF the Montana men who have
been awarded the Congressional
Medal of Honor for conspicuous
bravery in battle, it is believed, the
only one to have been so honored Tor
an act of gallantry in the Indian wars
in Montana, who is now living in the
state, is Peter Thompson, who resides
on a ranch on the Little Missouri
river in Carter county, near Alzada,
formerly known as ~Stoneville, the
Oldest town in Carter county.
Thompson was awarded the Con-
gressional Medal October 5th, 1878,
for brave and heroic conduct during
the Custer fight on the Little Big
Horn June 25th, 1876. On Armistice
day, last November, he was one OF
the honored guests of the nation at
the ceremonies in connection with the
burial of an unknown soldier at
Washington, having a position at the

Camp says: mo one to whom
wrote or talked had seen Thompson
or heard of him since his discharge
from the army in 1880, until, finally
l met an ex-soldier who told me that
Thompson had gone to work some
where in the Black Hills after leav-
ing the army. Accordingly, l adj
dressed letters to different postof-
fices throughout the Hills, but they
all came back to me with the post
masters stamp not here"
Next a soldier in Chicago advised
Camp to try some of the old saloon
men in the Black Hills country, say
ing that army veterans were likely
to hang around such places, but all
inquiries in this direction were fruit
less.
The records in Washington show
ed that Thompson was wounded,
and Camp thought if he was still
living his name would undoubtedly
be on the pension list, and in this
way he could get his address. But
the records at the pension office
showed that Peter Thompson was not
drawing a pension and had never
even applied for one. General Fred
c. Ainsworth, ad%jutant general of
the army, when given this informa-
ton, said: THAT being the case, Mr..
Camp, you may rest assured that
your man Thompson is dead. If he
had survived the date of his dis
charge many years, having been Sc
verely wounded, as the records show,
tho nnnrsn, 4ff;aa rvat,1I anrtofnIxr
have heard from him."
"This seemed conclusive to those
who never knew Peter Thompson, but
not to those who had known him.
They advised Camp to still continue
his search.
'It is o long a story" says Camp,
''to go into all the details as to how
1 found Peter Thompson, but the
trail never led to a saloon or q bill
lard hall, and the police seem never
to have made his acquaintance. My
inquiries had started some discus
sion of the man in DeadwCod, and a
former superintendent of the Home
stake Mining Co. wrote me that
Thompson had gone ranching some
twenty years previous, and suggested
that 1 address him at Alzada. I did
so, and soon received a reply from
the object of my long search.
I'm less than a year from that
time l had the good fortune to be
able to go over the scene of the bat
tie of the Little Big Horn, including
the ground that both Custer and Reno
/
had fought on, with Thompson, and
he told me there on the ground many
of the battle. In the course
of our conversation I told Thompson
how 1 had gone to the pension office
to look him up, and what General
Ainsworth had said about my failure
to locate him there. His only reply
was a smile and the remark that he
did not need any assistance from the
U. S. treasury.

and State Treasurer J. w. Walker.
The certificate of increases of the
capital stock and the increase in the
number of directors, filed with the
clerk and recorder, did not contain
the names of the two additional dir
ectors.
History of Two Institutions
The Metals Bank and Trust com
pany, which carries on its business
in one of the finest buildings of the
city, located on the southwest corner
of Main and Park streets, dates back
to 1882, when as the DAILY Bank and
Trust company it was organized by
Marcus DAILY and associates with a
capital of 100000. In July, 1920,
its name was changed to the Metals
Bank and Trust company, when the
old stockholders turned over their in
terests to the group of men who
composed the directing board of the
Metals bank. 1t Is one of the best
known financial institutions of the
northwest.
The Silver Bow National bank vas
organized March 81, 1890, by the late
Thomas Couch and J.. E. Gaylord.
Later w. B. Thompson, the late ex-
governor B. F. White and also John
MacGinniss were interested in the
institution. The controlling inter
est In the bank was purchased on
Dec. 8, 1918, by James T. Finlen,
John E. Corette, J. c. Mcguire and
others, and since that time the busi-
ness has been carried ON with mark
ed success.
Pleased by Associations
Charles J. Kelly, chairman of the
board Of directors Of the Metals
bank, and others, expressed their
welcome at receiving the Silver Bow
stockholders and their customers in
to the Metals bank. J.. e. Woodland,
president of the bank, declared that
he believed the new combination
would be advantageous to the stock
holders, patrons and the community
and expressed his pleasure in having
the Silver Bow bank officials as his
associates.
James T. Finlen, president of the
Silver Bow bank, voiced the senti-
nents of his new associates and the
same view of the consolidation was
by D. j. Fitzgerald, longtime
yice-president of the Silver Bow
bank, who will retire from the bank
.ng business to look after his own
business interests. He still retains
lis interests.
That the merger of the well-known
Institutions would bring to Butte one
If the largest banks in point of re-
sources between Minneapolis and
Spokane, was the expression of bust
men and the announcement was
with satisfaction as a step
n Butte's progress.
