the old Circle outfit went north over
into Canada, he went with it as wa

years.
Many are the campfire stories told
Of Badly Buck and how he knows cat
tie. In fact he can hold a regular
conversation with a range c~ritter. 1t
is told that he lost one good job be-
cause the wagon boss heard hin talk
ing to a big roam steer and fired
him. The boss told Jack Harris that
Badly was a COW hand all right, but
he would be better off in a nut col
lege than raising hell in a COW out
fit. But Baldy's head vas all right;
the trouble was he knew too much
COW for that boss.
In Charlie Russells book, Rawhide
Rawlins, there is a story about a
reformed cowpuncher at the stock
mems convention at Miles City. In
this yarn the man that fell on his
head out of a sleeper berth is Badly

picture that straddles a chain in the
soda fountain. Badly and Russell
are a fine pair-great pals for years.

DIR. SCANLAND'S ASSISTANT
AT WARM SPRINGS RESIGNS

Report was received in Helena
last week to the effect that DR.. H. A.
Bolton has resigned as assistant SUI
perintendent of the state hospital at
Warm Springs, his resignation hav-
ing been forwarded to Governor Dix
on and to the commissioners for the
insane, to take effect on October 81
with that of DR.. J. M. Scanland, who

capitol last week resulted in the re-
ply that no official notice had been
received by the commissioners for
the insane concerning DR.. Bottoms
resignation, DR.. Bolton, the Butte
report said, intends going to Boston
where he will take a postgraduate
course at Harvard university, after
which he will return to Montana to
engage in the private practice of me-
dicine. With the exception Of the
period between 1914 and 1917, when
he practiced medicine in Beaverhead
county, DR.. Bolton has been in the
service at the state hospital since
1910.

welt that suggested a challenge to a
duel. Roosevelt responded at once,
stating that if the Marquis demanded
satisfaction, he would meet him with
rifles at twelve PAGES, the adversar-
les to fire as they advanced toward
each other until one or the other
fell. De Mores responded, at once,
that no intention of a challenge had
been conveyed by him Intentionally.
After that the relations between De
Mores and Roosevelt were friendly,
but not cordial, as Roosevelt stood
with the law and order element in
the Bad Lands, while De Mores GER
tainly allowed himself to be led by
the bad element and protected them
to a certain extent. He was much
under the influence of Jake Maund-
ers.
Within a year after the arrival of
the Marquis, he was the acknowledge
ed boss of Medora. He had built
a good-sized slaughterhouse, which
was already being enlarged. He had
a score of Chicago butchers work
ing there, killing and packing the
herds of steers that were driven Thu

and attached to fast e~ast-bound

was to form the Northern Pacific Re.
f~rigeratOr Car Company. Not receiv-
ing any encouragement from the resi-.
dents of Little Missouri to establish
his packing plant there, he acquired
the flat across the river and six
square miles around it and announc-
ed his determination to build a town
there and wipe Little Missouri of
the map. Moving a tent across the
river, he set it up on the flat and
founded the town of Medora, which
today exists there with the ruined
smokestack of the De Mores packing
plant still standing. Medora was
named after his wife, Medora Won
Hoffman.
The Marquis was wise enough to
know that he was going to have
plenty Of trouble from his tough
neighbors across the river if he re-
NAMED at outs with them, but in
selecting friends and advisers from
among them he showed poor judg-
ment. He chose as his right-hand
man a villainous gun fighter, Jake
Maunder, who was held in fear by
every man in the community. Maun-
der was shrewd enough to see much
profit in prospect by attaching him
self to the wealthy tenderfoot, and
he cast about for some way to Sc
a hold on the Marquis that the
could never shake off. Final
ly he carried out a plan to involve
the Marquis and himself on one side
in a quarrel with a hunter, Frank
O'Donald; and his two friends,
Dutch Wannigan and Riley Luff-
sey, on the other.

trains. He built a ~pretentious home
and his wife Joined him there. He
built and equipped an expensive stage
line from Medora to Deadwood, which
in three months time was out OF
business.
At last the enormous losses suf-
fered in his various enterprises reach
ed such a point hat his father-in-
law, Baron Won Hoffman, refused to
advance more money, and within a
few months the creditors of the Mar
quis descended upon him and his
packing plant was closed. He re-
turned to France, but made occa-
sional trips to Medora until as late
as 1889, for he loved the wild
try around there and the life of the
COW camps and roundups.
Wins Hearts of Pirates
After leaving America, the Marquis
went to China, and on his return to
Paris in the early COS the papers car
ried a story about a wonderful island
in the orient that he had visited,
which, he declared, possessed won
derful natural The Mar
quis said he had a concession from
the Chinese government to develop
lltSt IeSOuECcS. 1uC luudUltdulS VI
the island, the Marquis said, were
mostly pirates, but they were under
paid pirates, receiving only some six
cents per diem, besides having to
work long hours. The Marquis aver
red that he won their devotion by
offering them eight cents a day ii
they would work for him. The Mar
quis appeared before the French
chamber of deputies and asked the
official sanction of the government
in operating under his concession.
One of the deputies rose and made
some uncomplimentary remarks con-
corning the Marquis and his plan,
w%hereupon De Mores promptly chal-
lenged him to a duel to the death.
The challenge being accepted, the
deputy was slightly wounded by a
bullet in the arm and the honor of !
both was satisfied.
The Marquis later appeared In
print with a scathing attack on the
Jews in the French army at the time
of the Dreyfus affair, in which he
is said to have been deeply involved.
A Jewish officer of the name of
Meyer challenged him to fight a duel
and the Marquis, who was one of the
finest swordsmen in Europe, ran him
through the lung and killed him.
Marquis Meets His End
The Marquis came to his death in
a manner characteristic of him. He
became interested in the conquest OF
Morocco for France and started out
with an escort of Arabs to inspect
the interior of that country. Meet
ing a band of fierce and treacher-
Gus tribesmen, the Marquis confer
with the leader about the route
should take. He fell under the
influence of this chief, and letting
his faithful Arabs go, placed himself
under the guidance of murderous
thieves. The next night h Marquis
and his little party were set upon
by their guides, and after a desper-
ate fight against overwhelming odds,
the Marquis and all but n or two
his party we're killed.
The widow of the Marquis vent
to Morocco and organized an expedi-
ton to capture the murderers, who
were later caught and hanged. These
men testified that the Marquis died
bravely, with his back to a rock.
He killed IL of his assailants with
ais rifle and pistol, it was said.

that / went to Miles City that time
with both of 'em at once and got
home alive. 1t was a dry drive" for
us three at that, for we beat pro-
hibition to it by quite a few years.
Badly Buck has sat by many a
campfire, rode many a long circle
and worked big roundups plenty; he
has seen it all and done a mans
work.
At this time of the year the fall
roundups we're in full swing and the
big beef herds were being gathered.
1t was then that men like Badly Buck
were worth their weight in gold to
an outfit. Outside of old COW hands
very few people know how easy 1t
is for a green hand to ruin thous-
ands of dollars worth of beef by
some fool break. Let a herd once
run on water and they are liable to
run every day you throw them on
water-and that sure ruined beef.
Several outfits used to buy all the
boys a suit of clothes if they penned
the herd at the railroad without hav-
ing a run, and believe me Montana
beef were willing to run any old
time.
But the old COW hands thought
more of the herd than the owners,
and they saved many IN outfit thou
sands of dollars by their pride in
the work and loyalty to their out
fits. AS l have said before, their
like in this respect were never be-
fore or since. How many other
classes of men who work for wages

tect another mans property? If
those old timers don't land in heaven

NTOINE De V-ALLOMBROSA,

N1OlNE LIE
~ Marquis de Mores, whose
amazing exploits and escap-
AIDES in Montana and Western Da-
kota were the talk of the country
in the early sos. De Mores was
n of the most brilliant young Of
ficers in the French army, a Gull
turcd cosmopolitan and a man of
charming personality. He was,
however, extremely cratic and Inn
pulsive, and was easily influenced
by men of doubtful character. The
cattle ranches of De Mores and
Theodore Roosevelt in the Bad
Lands of Western Dakota were
close together, but they W. be-
came intimate friends and differ
ences that arose between them at
times came near to ending in a
duel with rifles. De Mores, being
badly advised, allowed himself to
be drawn into a quarrel which re-
suited in the killing of a cowpun-
cher and the trial of De MOres on
a charge of murder, Of which he
was acquitted. In his industrial
enterprises in Montana and the
Dakotas he lost hundreds of thou
sands of dollars. The Marquis was
a member of the Montana Stock
mems Association, and he intro
duced the name of Theodore
Roosevelt when the latter became
a member at Miles City.

cial and industrial projects, every one
OF which lost all that was put into
it. The first winter he lost 5000
sheep. One project that he announc-
ed to the eastern newspapers was that
of growing $4,000 cabbages at Me-
dora for the early spring market.
He declared that they were to be
raised under glass and fortified with
the offal of his slaughterhouses. He
expected to sell them for a great price
to big eastern hotels. He also
thought of raising other vegetables
and even fruit of various kinds I'M
der glass at Medora. This plan,
however, he did not put into execu-
tion.
Clashes With Roosevelt
The Maltese Cross and Elkhorn
ranches of Theodore Roosevelt were
not far from Medora, which was the
nearest postoffice, and the future
president was spending most of his
time then raising cattle in the bad
lands. The Marquis claimed some of
R~oosevelt's range and a fight be-
tween cowboys of the two outfits
was narrowly avoided. Later, more
trouble arose over the same matter,
and the Marquis sent a note to Roose-

u. s. Court AT
Carson Swamped
partment of Justice Provide As
sistants In Court Offices

Relief for the court and for the
working in conjunction with it IN
Nevada, in view of the great volume
of business on hand and in prospect,
is recommended by the federal grand
jury in its final report to Judge Far
rington, filed in the United States
district court at Carson City Thurs
day afternoon.
Your grand jury would feel re-
miss in its duty" the instrument
reads, 'if 1t did not respectfully call
attention to the condition existing
In this court, as well as in the Of
fees of the various officers of this
court, due to the enormous increase
of criminal business and principal
ly to the necessity of prosecuting
violation of the national prohibition
act and of the diffeernt narcotic
acts.
IF we may be permitted to do so,
we may respectfully recommend that
the department of justice take cog
nizance of these conditions and en-
deayor to provide sufficient assist
ance for the clerk of this court, the
United States marshal and the Unit
ed States attorney.
And we do further, and in like
manner, respectfully recommend
that some action be taken to re-
lieve the one judge of this district
Of 81 80
cation now pending before him. To
the grand jury it would appear to
be impossible for the one court to
dispose of all matters now pending
and to keep apace Of the new cases
that may be expected to be fled"
True bills were returned in sew
enty-four of the eighty-two cases
submitted to the grand jury Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday and
eight cases were ignored, the re-
port discloses. Several of the indict-
ments were of a secret nature, due
to the fact that the defendants
named therein have not been appre-
hended. Altogether 10 defendants
are involved In the seventy-four in
dictments.
Fifty-one of the bills returned are
for violations of the national prohi-
bition act; seven are for violation OF
the federal code defining conspiracy
six are for violation of the narcotic
drugs import and export act; four
are for violation of the Harrison
anti-narcotic act; two charge the

Comstock Team
Defeats Fallon
Blow-up of Fallon's Infield In Seven
tn Inning Gives Visitors
Lead
GRIFFITH SEVERELY INJURED
WHEN HIT ON HEAD
Pitchers Shultis and Henderson Give
Fine Exhibition of Skill
Throughout Game

That fatal seventh inning The
story of the base ball game between
the local team and Comstock may be
told In very few words.
The game was alright up to the
seventh inning, both pitchers were
working in prime condition and
their teams were giving them big
league support. In the seventh in
ming however, Fallon began to break
ON the home stretch and when the
smoke had cleared away, Comstock
had pushed six runs across the plate
through the aid OF errors by San
ford, Mapes Ferguson, Powell and
Foote. Fallon was unable to over
come this lead and the big hard
rock miners went back to the hills
with the game neatly tucked away.
The fans wanted to see Stewart
start the game for Fallon but in
warming up he did not show control
and the management was compelled
to use Shultis from the start. Shul-
tbs pitched one of the finest games
that has been seen ON the local dia-
mond; had he been given real sup
port by his team mates the results
would be different.
Henderson of Comstock pitched a
fine game and his mates gave him
classy support.
During the game several accidents
occurred to players of the Comstock
club; Wilder was compelled to quit
the game through a split finger and
the local management loaned them
Catcher Hawley whose work behind
the bat against his team mates was
all that anyone could hope for. He
played one of the best games of his
career.
Griffith playing third base for the
visitors received a blow on the head
from a thrown ball that took him
out of the game. His condition was
so bad, that he was sent to the hos
pital. He was unconscious until
late Sunday night. The many fans
are glad however, that he was able
to return to Comstock, fully recov-
cred the next morning.
Umpire Charles Way had three
ribs fractured by ritched ball that
glanced off the bat. Way continued
his good work behind the plate, but
was compelled to seek medical at
tention after the game.

Melon Shipments
Rail Strike Not Affecting Shipments
Express Co. Accepts Melons
At Own Risk
NEW YORK CITY GETS
FIRST -FOUR CARLOADS
Growers Save Many Melons BY Pick
ing Before They Get Ripe Enough
To Crack Open

The picking of melons Is now on
In full swing all over the project and
shipment In carload lots has COM
menced. The embargo which the
transportation companies placed on
shipments of perishables last week
has been raised and the Pacific
Fruit Express has assured growers
and shippers that the melons will
continue to go out without inter-
ruption.
The first carload shipment from
Fallon went out Monday to the New
York market. says Vim. Hall, who
has contracted with the growers as
sociation for the entire crop. The
first three carloads which have been
shipped from Fernley also went to
New York. Definite Information as
to the price of Hearts of Gold mel
ons In the eastern market has not
yet been received but the demand
is great, Mr.. Hall stating that he
could dispose of 100 cars II he could
get them. From now on until the
end of the season Fallon will ship
two and three carloads a day.
The cool weather prevailing dur
ing the past three weeks has held
back harvesting of the melons. This
has been an advantage to the grow
ers as IL has allowed them to leave
the melons In the field until they
had definite assurances that the
strike situation would not interfere
with shipment.
Many growers are preparing TO do
considerable smudging later on in
the season when the danger of early
frosts becomes imminent. Killing
frosts may be expected about the
middle of September.
Experimental shipments of half
slip" melons are being made this
week to the New York market
"Half-slipY melons are those that
are net thoroughly ripe when pick
ed and it is believed that for ship
ment at great distances these melons
will go on the market in better con
dition than If they we're ripe when
picked. II this experiment is sue
cessfnl IL viii mean a great saving
to the growers as many Of the mel
ons crack open when they ripen on
the vines and cannot be marketed
at any distance from the field.

On September a Fernley fair and
cantaloupe celebration will be held.
Senator Miller addressed the
farmers as a farmer. He related
