just at noon and found that Mr.. Stock
er had prepared the noon meal. just as
we were ready to sit down to the table
Mr.. Stocker noticed that his neighbor' s
house was on fire. This was the Fink
house that had previously passed.
Mrs. Stocker begged her husband to
go over and help them, which he did,
and when he returned after long abb
sence he had great many things to
tell us.
New Ulm People Ambushed, Robbed.
"Fink's house had burned down and
he had been unable to discover anyone
excepting a small child, grandchild
of the Fink's, who was lying in front
of the door. 1t had been shot through
the breast with an arrow but was
still alive. He wanted to take the
child to relatives but could find no one
in the house. In the meantime the
child had died and so he left it in
the house Of Max Zeller, a relative.
Because of the fact that the Indians
had occasionally caused trouble, Mr..
Stocker thought that this was the case
again. We were discussing this quite
excitedly when we saw a wagon ap-
preaching with several men on it.
They had an American flag, and Mr..
Stocker thought they were white men
from New Ulm come to help us, but
saw two Indians in their native cos
tunes running across the field and to-
ward our house. We then saw that
the others were Indians also, and
learned later that they had ambushed
a number of New Ulm people and
robbed them of their clothes. These
men who were ambushed and robbed
were men who had started out with a
band and flag and were on their way
to Henle to gather recruits for the
Civil war.
Mrs. Stocker Murdered by Indians.
"When Mrs. Stocker learned that
the Indians were coming she begged
us to carry her into the woods, but
this was impossible. In order to
create the impression that we were
unafraid. we sat down to our noon
meal. In the meantime one Of the In

led veterans, who have taken pleas
ure in their making. The proceeds
of the sale will go to the aid of the
disabled service men.
Surely for the well and strong it
ought to be a pleasure to buy and
wear these poppies. What better way
can there be of honoring the dead
soldiers of the World War than by
aiding their disabled buddies who need
help?
If peoples are the passion flowers OF
remembrance, they are also the justice
flowers that carry timely aid to those
who deserve the best of their country
men. The response should be partic-
ularly generous this year, because the
call for betera relief has been sound
ed anew.-Minneapolis Journal.

Peter Koch's Description
Peter Koch, the we'll know Boze-
man pioneer, who died two years ago,
gives this description of johnson and
his horrid trophies:
"The settlement and surrounding
desolate, sage-brush covered plains
did not usually offer many points of
interest to the travellers on the
steamboats,, except the usual features
of a village on the extreme frontier,
here, perhaps, somewhat exaggerat-
ed; but when the steamer Huntville
landed there at the time referred to,
a sight met her passengers that was
certainly calculated to shock the
nerves of any eastern tenderfoot.
Along the brink of the river bank on
both sides of the landing was planted
a row of stakes, and each stake car
ried the white, grinning skull of an
Indian. They We're evidently the
pride of the inhabitants, and a little
to one side, as if guarding them.
stood a trapper, well known through
out eastern Montana by the soubri-
quet of "Liver-Eating" Johnson. He
was leaning on a crutch, with one
leg bandaged, and the day being hot,
his entire dress consisted of a scant,
much-shrunken, red undershirt reach
ing just below his hips. His matted
hair and bushy beard fluttered in the
breeze, and his giant frame and
limbs, so freely exposed to view, form
ed an exceedingly impressive and
characteristic picture"
Liver-Eating Johnson lived in Mon
tana until about 1890, when he de-
parted for California, where he died
in a soldiers home. He had served
as a scout for Terry, Miles or some
of the other Indian fighting leaders
during the 70's.
johnson used to tell some great
tales of his early adventures. To
his best friends he denied ever hay
ing eaten any Indian liver, but he
used to tell the story with much gusto
to pilgrims from the east, besides a
great many other tales that were
equally horrifying.
Tom Irwin of Deer Lodge, one OF
the early sheriffs of Custer county
used to know Johnson well, and
when the Northern Pacific was build
ing through to the coast, johnson
was given a job as deputy sheriff by
Irwin and was stationed at one of the
construction camps along the right
of-way. Irwin heard of much trouble
in the ~neighborhood of this camp ane

1t is now possible to ship milk sew

spoil. The old-fashioned milk can
has given way to huge glass-lined
tanks similar to the familiar vacuum

trucks and are insulated from the
heat by the use of cork packing. Less

sides of these 5,000-gallon tanks. Milk
has been handled in these tanks over
distances of nor than 100 miles with
a rise of less than two degrees in
