BUCK GOES WILD
ATTACKS KEEPER
GREAT FALLS PARK SUPERIN-
TENDENT HAS NARROW ES-
CAPE FROM ANIMAL
Man Stuns Buck With Heavy Club
and Saves Frank Reimer's Life;
Captive Buck Went Wild Two
Years Ago and Killed Doe.

The six-year-old Whitehall buck
deer in the west deer paddock at
Gibson park at Great Falls has gone
loco, and made desperate attempt
to kill the park superintendent,
Frank Reimer, recently, the latter's
| life being saved only by desperate
work on the part of former Alderman
Sleeyy with large hardwood club
The male deer generally go loco
for time during rutting season and
the Whitehall was raging up and
down the fence to such an extent
that Mr. Reimer concluded to put
him in the house and entered the
paddock for that purpose, he and Mr..
Sleevy driving the animal in. AS Mr..
Reimer turned at the door to close it,
the deer sprang and knocked him to
the ground and began goring and
trampling him. Reimer, though
powerful man, was helpless. Mr..
Sleevy had hardwood club and
rushed in beating the deer over the
head and stunning him with several
blows, which gave Mr.. Reimer a
chance to crawl away; the Infatuated
animal charged Mr.. Sleevy several
times, but the club proved effective
and both men got out of the paddock
Besides having his clothing almost
torn from him and suffering many
bruises and small cuts, Mr.. Reimer
was gored in the right leg above the
knee, suffering a cut four inches
long and four inches deep. A ply |
sician was summoned and the wound |
attended to.
The Whitehall buck is still raging
N the paddock and the public is
warned to keep away from him.
Should his rage continue he will be
led, or placed in the paddock house
or time until he becomes his mild
md gentle self again.
The big blacktail buck went wild
wo years ago and killed the mother
loe of the blacktail family before
he could be rescued from his horns
nut this is the first time that one of
he deer has attacked man, al
hough the bull elk, formerly in the
orth paddock, used to try to kill
omeone every day during the month
f November. He escaped the pad
ock one day, and it took the united
fforts of several men with clubs to
eat him back before he could attack
nyone.

After Featherstun had brought
in his man, he took him to hotel
Featherstun was not we'll known
by the people of Bannack, but they
did know Dutch John, and com,
pany of them little later in the
evening took him from the strang-
er who brought him in; thinking
Featherstun was himself a road
agent. The mistake was rectified
when they heard Featherstun ask
for HOWE, saying that the latter,
he feared, had been killed.
The news, rapidly circulated
that Dutch John was robber and
a murderer, barred every door to
him, and HOWE and Featherstun
were forced to hunt for some place
where he could be safely kept
through the night This they found
in an empty cabin on Yankee Flat.
But it is not likely that any of the
three rested well that night; the
captors fearing rescue, and the
captive hoping for one.
Before being taken to the cabin
on Yankee Flat, John was taken
to another cabin, and there exam
med. He promised to confess, but
when it came to the point, failed
to keep his promise, it was thought
20 gain time. Prof. Dimsdale says
IF this, "The leader in the move
nent took up book, observing he

ions; but at last ceased in despair

Ter, told him that he was motor

hoping that it might be held to be

them to spare his life"
| was under the impression that
such promise was made, but that
the coming of the four members of
the Virginia Vigilantes, who arriv-
ed at midnight, with new informa-
ton, caused the promise to be bro
ken, and Wagner hung on the same
day that Pizanthia was killed. He
met his tragic end bravely, and
won the respect, il not the regret,
of those who executed him.
Literary men were not plentiful
in Bannack, and the only two in
attendance at the examining con-
ference mentioned, so far as [ can
recall, were my father, and Colonel
Sanders. As my father did not act
as leader at any of these meetings
simply as adviser-it may rea-
sonably be inferred that the liter
airy gentleman who brought things
to a climax on this occasion, was
Colonel Sanders, and the method |
used to obtain Wagner's confes-
sion is like what he would have
The day following this confer
ence the four men from Virginia
City completed the organization of
he Bannack branch of the Vigil
mites, which made it possible to ar
est and execute the Bannack road
agents. Before this the relative
strength Of the two parties was I'M
ertain. The road agents were or
,anized, and those opposed to them
we're not. Then, too, Plummer's
position as sheriff gave him and
us band a great advantage. His
unconcern for his own
afety led others to believe that

Butterflies in Northern Montana

If butterflies know anything about
weather conditions, Great Falls will
be rival of Los Angeles this win
ter, says the Tribune.
1t is said that the Indian versed
in natures lore could tell whether
it was going to be cold or an open
winter by the way the animals pre-
pared for it.
But even the wise Red man might
be stumped to explain the action of
a golden brown butterfly that blithe-
1y fluttered out of its cocoon Sunday.
Apparently unawares that the date
was December 16 instead of some
time in May it STRETCHED its wings
in the front yard of Miss Dorothea
Haag, 512 Fourth avenue south.
Later it was caught and taken in the
house where it is hoped it will be
able to live on the honey of indoor
flowers during the winter.

WHEN REIGN OF HENRY PLUN1NAER WAS
NEARING ITS END; CAPTURE OF WAGNER

| the road agents outnumbered the
better element of the community.
Plummer was notified that the
Virginia City men were headed in
his direction. and Immediately set
afloat the rumor that they were
coming to arrest not only him, but
several of the leading citizens of
Bannack. One of these, George
Chrisman, was greatly frightened
by this report; the more so that
Plummer had talked with him on
the subject and condoled with him.
Filled with apprehension, Chris
man came to my father and asked
to be protected. | never shall for
get how agitated he appeared, and
with ample reason. My father as
sured him that his reputation was
too good to connect him in any way
with Plummer's gang, and he left
our house comforted.
Before concluding this sketch of
Dutch John, something should be
said of the remarkable daring of
his captor, Neil HOWE. HOWE was
not large man, but on the con-
trary rather understood. There
was nothing in his appearance to
indicate superior strength, yet he
took John singlehanded, after hav-
ing been refused assistance by
others.
Realizing that if John must be
aiken, he must do it, HOWE called
% the robber to "hold on min
1te." John, who was riding away,
urned half round, and HOWE
started toward him empty handed.
As HOWE drew near him, John had
lin in range of his gun, and could
.asily have killed him. There was
omething about HOWE, before
which the ruffian quailed, and I

PLANS FEDERAL
RELIEF FOR FARM
-FOUR STATES INCLUDING MON
TANA, ARE FOR LIVESTOCK
LOANS FOR FARMER.
VIII Ask Government to Distribute
$50, 1000 in Loans for Purchase of
Hogs, Sheep, Cattle and Poultry.

/ A plan of federal farm relief which
it is claimed will put the farmer on
sounder financial basis than he has
/ enjoyed for a number of years, was
evolved at meeting of representa-
tives of the four spring wheat states
held in Minneapolis, and which was
attended by w. A. Selvidge, presi-
dent of the Montana Development
association.
The plan is the one originated by
President John Lee Coulter of the
North Dakota Agricultural college
and the program was unanimously
adopted and endorsed by all the rep
resentatives present, among them
several state governors. The pro-
gram for the four states of Montana,
North and South Dakota and Mime
sofa, calls for the distribution of $685.
100000 by the government equally
between the four STAKES, the money to
be used in the purchasing of cattle,
hogs, sheep, chickens and other live
stock.
Limited to 1000
No farmer is to be allowed more
than 1000 loan, says Mr.. Selvidge,
according to the terms of the plan.
Security for the loan will be the stock
itself and its progeny and the loan
will extend over a period of five
years with interest at per cent. 1t
Is planned to introduce bill in con-
yress at the present session for this
purpose.
"The entire purpose hinges upon
he proposition that the farmer must
grow his own living on the farm"
ays the president During the war,
he government called for the rails
ng of more wheat and rye to the
lear exclusion of all other products
nd the upward climb of the diversi-
ication line was not halted, but suf-
cred a decided decline. Since the
var the buying power of the farmer
as materially decreased in terms of
,heat per bushel price, while the di-
0 hold it's own.
"It is estimated that for this rea-
on the average farmer who has been
aising wheat in these four states
as been losing about SIS per acre
ach year since the war, or about
700 year. In all this time, he has
cen purchasing the. greater part of
le necessary commodities to sustain
fe, instead of growing them upon
Is farm. This, it is estimated, costs
i'm about $500 per year.
Saves $40 Yearly
"If he is allowed this government
an, making it possible for him to
low his own living on the farm, he
ives $40 the first year, even if he
tires his loan at the rate of 5000
lch year for four years. This $40
Jed as a working margin will ma
rally aid the farmer the first year
i'd by the end of the five years he
IS retired his loan, has the stock
i'd its progeny paid for, is making
S own living on the farm, and has
S grain crop receipts clear.
"This plan of diversification would
gin by furnishing the farmer, first
tn his livelihood, and within five
ars bring him to point of per-
anent agriculture now enjoyed by
rmers in these four states, outside
e spring wheat area"
