Driscoll's statements were after
wards verified by visits to the scenes
of the two combats and he was pre-
sented with gold medal by Captain
Thompson. This he afterwards lost
in fire in Bozeman.
| On his discharge from the hospital
Driscoll returned to Fort Phil Kear-
ney, where he was given an ovation
and borne into the fort on the shout
ders of his comrades.
On July 13, 1908, the survivors
of the Eighteenth U. S. infantry held
reunion at the site of old Phil Kear-
ney at which were present General
lh6bOhs w iiiloln LAZY o. 0iDOOhr
William Murphy, S. S. Peters, J.
Stratum and Dennis Driscoll.
General Darlington delivered an
address. Others of the survivors
were called upon until finally Dris-
coll was reached. He begged to be
excused and would not talk, so his
old regimental commander arose and
related the story of his heroism
nrfcna1Isc H.
him to Senator Warren and Con-
gresham Mondell-Driscoll at that
time was living in Deitz, Wyo.-that
they and Brig. Gen. A. S. Burt were
instrumental in securing for him a
comfortable pension.
Among the veterans priceless pos
sessions was an autographed por-
trait of General Burt on which the
general had written, ITO my old
friend and comrade, Dennis Driscoll,

Here is one of the nations dis
tinquished soldiers. He is Stephen
r.. McConnon, and he has the honor
of having been one of the gun crew
which manned the single gun on
the first ironclad, the Monitor. He
fought in the battle between the
Monitor and the Merrimac, which
sounded the knell of the wooden
men-of war, and marked the begin
ming of the era of the steel sea
monsters that have SO much to do
with shaping the destinies of ma
tons,
1t was nearly so years ago when
Mr.. McConnon, then a STRIPPING,
participated i'm this famous engage
ment, but the lust of battle is still
strong in him, as witness his trans
continental trip to Montana to see
the fight between Dempsey and
Gibbons at Shelby on July A.
Mr.. McConnon is visiting friends
in Havre. He is a modest old gen.
tleman and it is hard to get him to
tell about himself or his exploits,
but those who know say he is cred
tied with having fired the shot
which put the Confederate IRON
clad out of commission.

A LMOST unno C I'd, there
| ~ passed at the Sawtelle Sol
4 - diers' home near Los Angeles,
last October, a hero of the old
west, man as modest as he was
/ brave, who in the winning of the
west from the Indian tribes laid
his life on his country's altar as
nobly as did those who held the
pass at Thermopylae. While the
Greek soldiers were immortalized
the Americans achievement is al
most unknown even among the
people of Montana, where he calm
1y went forth to die, if need be,
that others might live. This Mon
tana hero, a raw Irish lad who had
not yet attained his majority,
saved his comrades, detachment
of soldiers, from humiliation by
a war party of Sioux Indians. In
SO doing he underwent experiences
that called for almost superhuman
exertions. He was without sleep
for so hours, travelling hard all
night and fighting Indian war par
ties by day. One man against a
hundred, he was able to stand off
his attackers, with heavy loss to
them, until he found a chance to
make his escape through the
smoke of the fire they had built
to roast him.
Again he held his own against a
band of SO Indians, or more, so bent
on his destruction that they rushed
his ambuscade again and again, los
ing heavily in each rush, until final
ly they were beaten off by the in
domitable grit and unerring marks
of the lone soldier.
Worn out and bleeding freely from
a weakening wound, he kept logged
ly on until, his goal almost attained,
be fell senseless in his tracks within
sight of the fort, where succor for
his comrades lay. Nelson Story, Sr.,
found him and carried him into the
fort, discovered the dispatches, and
transmitted them to the command
ng officer. A detachment was rush
I'd to the aid of the besieged soldiers
md the lives of 40 men and officers
we're saved by the courage and I'M
altering determination of the young
soldier.
An Adventurous Start
This hero of the old west bore the
lame of Dennis Driscoll. He was
,orn in Liverpool of Irish parents
md came to the United States, lad
# 10, in 1856, and Immediately en-
listed in company X, Twenty-seventh
J, S. infantry. He was sent to the
vest, his company being assigned to
Fort Phil Kearney. The Irish lad

! Fetterman's command was massa-
cred just outside the fort. Fetter-
man, according to the statement of
General Darlington, was a daredevil
who in his zeal to punish the Indians
for an attack on a wood train was
drawn into an ambush and killed,
his detachment being wiped out in
81 minutes.
Driscoll was not included in Fet-
terman's detachment but was of the
number sent out by General Car
rington under Captain Ten Eyck to
rescue Fetterman Ten Eyck, who
was rushed out from the fort when
the firing on Fetterman commenced,
went to the nearest high hill to To-
cate the Fetterman command, the
firing having ceased before he had
scarce left the fort gates. He sent
back word to General Darlington, ac-
cording to the latters published
statement that "the valley was full
of Indians, challenging him to come
down but he could see nothing OF
Fetterman," to which Darlington
made answer 81 send you 40 men
and 10000 rounds of ammunition.
Join Fetterman at all hazards"
40 Soldiers Killed
Ten Eyck obeyed the command of
the general to the letter. He pressed
on with his small handful of men
into the midst of the horde of Indian
warriors and brought back AZ dead |
bodies of the Fetterman command |
1t was thus that the young Irish lad /
Driscoll received his first baptism
of fire in Indian warfare and learned |
that fighting savages was deadly
work in which the initiative of the !
individual soldier was quite as inn
portant as the leadership of the COM
officer.

They have a tent-justIike the

fold it like the Arabs, and steal
away--but not SO silently, for they
do their stealing away in Buick
with healthy purr, says the Butte
Post.
Bill Bennett and Eloise Bennett,
his wife, who roam the quiet places
of Montana in pursuit of predatory
animals, such as gray wolves, coy
otes and bobcats, for the United
States bureau of biological survey,
shows up in city occasionally.
Bill, who is 27, wears big hat and
according to whether he's doing much
riding or walking, high-heeled boots
or high-laced pacs, and Mrs. Bennett,
his 20-year-old partner of trapline,

outfit, except that Bills rough shirt
and chaps are replaced in her make
up by neat khaki hiking outfit or
a shirt and buckskin riding skirt.
Hunting Coyote Dens
Just now this nomadic pair are
hunting coyote dens from which they
dig, trap, smoke or shoot the puppies
that might otherwise grow into sheep
and chicken thieves by fall. Their
headquarters camp for the time be-
ing is on the ranch of Paulee &
Williams near Deer Lodge. They are
engaged in what is known as a CO.
operative predatory-animal eradica-
tion campaign. Under this arrange
ment the state or federal govern
ment pays half of the hunters salary
and the local stockmen or stock as
sociations pay the rest. All market
able skins must be turned in to the
government, or to the employing
stockmen, by whom they are sold.
In den-hunting the BENEFITS carry
a complete camp outfit lin the rear
part of their Buick four, and home is
where the car stops beside a creek at
dusk. They remain in such a camp
places nearby for coyote dens. Then
they move on.
Wife Good Trailer.
The coyote bears from four to eight
pups usually, and these come toward |
the last of April or early in May. For |
two months they may be found in or
near their home den, dusty bur-
row in a sunny hillside or rocky lair
within easy distance of water. The
old ones may often be trapped If ex-
treme care is used in trail and scent /
sets nearby after the den is found.

NAIICNAL PARK FOR
STONE COUNTY UNDER
CONSIDERATION

II plans carry Stone County
Will in the course of time have {
national park or timber reserYa-
= jon, that will perpetuate for all
me the growth of pines that
once covered the lands OF South
Mississippi.
This plan has been proposed
by B. II. Dreland of this county
who is better known under his
pseudonym Of Grab" and his
connections with the Biloxi ana
Gulfport Hearld> 1t has been
taken up with United States
Senators, Harrison and Stevens
and is under consideration of the
committee of refoIestatior of
the United States Senate.
There are still many bodies of
fine large timber in Mississippi
but they are fast being cut, and
will in the course of time prac-
tically disappear. Stone county
has some of the largest and fine
est specimens Of the long leaf
pine in existence, and if the SEN
ate committee seriously consid-
ers such a prrdject, it would
seem that this county would be
the, logical place for the reser-
Vation.
The park as it is proposed
would be one mile square, suit
able marked and kept SO that
the timber would be cared for.
A keeper would be establish
ed within it's borders and the
young trees protected and allow
ed to replace the old forest
gorwth when it disappears.
Such a reservation would no
doubt be of great interest to
posterity, and of inestimable
value to the citizens of the coun
try, as it would in all probability
attract visitors from all sections
of the country.

WEEKLY NEWS LETTER
FROM THE DEPARTMENT
OF EDUCATION
By w. F. Bond, Supt.

It is estimated that the money
we annually spend on schools in
Mississippi would go a million
dolla - further if every child
in tie State would attend school
every day it is possible for it to
go. Irregular attendance on the
part of the pupil enrolled and
non-attendance Of many boys
md girls in every district should
ho looked after vigorously by
teachers, trustees, patrons and
county superintendent.
1t is said that every day a
child spends in shool will some
time have a money value of ap-
proXimately ten dollars" Not
only the child, but the school as
6 whole is hindered- in its work
by irregular attendance.
THE compulsory school law
requires every child from it's
seventh birthday to it's four
teenth birthday to be in school
continually for four months in
each year, at a time resignated
.hy the County Board of Educa-
tion.
Will not the people of every
school district in the State see
to it that every child, this win
ter, not only has a chance to go
to school but actually attends
school?
