There is only one mar living now
who could tell the story of Crandall'

is James Gourley of Bozeman, Mon
tana. Mr.. Gourley is the last of the
adventurous spirits who left the town
in 1870 to seek their fortune in the
then unmapped and Indian infested
country of the upper Clarks Fork riv-
er and its tributaries. 1t will be a
pity if this old man, well over seven

of that great adventure.
II was dictated once by Horn"

living in Cooke City, at the request
of a forest ranger. The manuscript
was lost in the forestry office here in

some four years ago, without dup

Five Hunting Parties
Go East with Trophies

The Cox-Jones hunting parties have
had wonderful luck in the big game
country and are all leaving more than
satisfied with the trophies they are
taking east.
Mr. Norcross, of New York City,
who hunted with Jack Camery got
three grizzlies, while Jack killed one.
One of the bear measured eight feet.
William Aslitt and son, of New York
City, killed an elk and a sheep. Mar
Gus Daily brought down an elk.
Messrs. Harry Stutz, Tiny" Kline
and Maypole, each got their game.
Mr.. Kline lost 30 pounds of his 260,
but got a good elk.
Elliot C. Bacon and party secured
lila good sheep head the first day out
William Holmes, of Yonkers, New
York arrived Wednesday for a 80
days hunt.

Over on Crandall Creek, about two
miles above the bridge on the trail
to Cooke City, on a little raise some
two small mounds of rocks with stakes
stuck in the middle to attract the at
tention of a chance hunter or some
cowboy hunting cattle or horses and
set them to wondering what signifi-
canoe might be attached to the mark
ings.
There is no headstone, no word or
sign of any description to tell the
passing stranger that under the one
lies the bones of that daring and ad-
%venturous spirit, Jack Crandall, and
under the other his partner, Daugher-
ty.
How many people living in this sec
ton know the tragic story of these
two prospectors? Not many, ! wager.
They are only n handful, compar-
atively, who have heard the facts of
the finish of Jack Crandall who sleeps
at the spot where he died on the bank
of the stream which was named after
him.
1t is peaceful there now the mea-
dow larks sing and the chipmunks
scamper among the rocks which mark
the spot where their bones are molder-
ing, but once it was the scene of
CHASTITY murder.
Surprised in camp by Indians, Gran
dali and his partner were killed in the
spring of 1870. The next year anoth-
err p~rospector named Hank" Bother
found their camp with enough evil
dence remaining to tell the dreadful
story.
Their heads had been cut from their
bodies and stuck on the point of their
picks, the other point in the ground,
Their tin cups had been placed in
front of them to tell other Indians
that the men had been surprised while
eating.
The coyotes had eaten the flesh
from their bones so nothing remained
but the skeletons. Crandall was rec.
ognized, however, by his teeth, he
wore a plate, and his long black beard
The Indians had taken the hardwood
handles from the picks to make han.
dies for their quirts.
Bother buried them but the coyotes
kept digging out their bones so some
unknown person buried them agair
and piled rocks on them.
II the story of Crandall Creek and
the man for whom II was named ha,

held by most people, that II was
named for some old rancher who took

COP BUYS HAMMER
FOR {. D. CARTER

f.. ID. Carter has a new hammer,
over the possession of which he is
considerably elated. 1t is a gift from
Mr.. Goppert, although if the item APP
pears next month on the prosecuting
attorneys expense account, it will be,
strictly, a present from Park county.
1t cost only S1.65 at the Cody Trad
ing company, but in view of its his
tory Carter attaches considerably
more than that value to it.
1t appears that Carter leased his
house this summer, and, in the abb
sence of himself and his tenants, Mr..
Goppert and the sheriff went down
and pried the door open and searched
the premises for evidence of liquor
violations. Suit cases belonging to
others, which had been left in Carter's
care, were carried away, but no liquor
was found.
When Carter returned he missed
his hammer. Knowing his tenants to
be honest, his suspicious fell upon the
prosecuting attorney. He went to the
court house with the amiable inten-
ton, MS he expressed it, "of breaking
seven or eight of Cops ribs on each
side and pilin' him up in the corner"
Carriers blue eyes, when aroused,
have an ominous shine. which
Mr.. Goppert must have noticed, for,
after a stormy interview which sound
ed like n riot to the other officials in
the court house, he told him to buy a
new hammer and he would pay for il.

Cody, however, will have the privilege
of retaining four of the statues and
the pictures for the present.
