After hard march of four days
the scouts reported that they had
found Mountain Chiefs camp on
the Marias. Joe Kipp, who was
friendly with the Blackfeet and
knew them we'll, protested that the
trail they were taking would not
take them to Mountain Chiefs
camp, but to the smallpox camp of
Heavy Runner, whose band were
all sick and dying from the dis
ease and had been quarantined at
point on the Marias. Baker,
who is said to have been drunk
most of the time after leaving Fort
Shaw, evidently thought that Kipp
was deceiving him, and he placed
a soldier on either side of Kipp
with orders to shoot the latter if
he tried to turn back or refused to
lead the column to the camp that
had been located.
The troops came upon the camp
in the darkness of the winter morn
ing of January a. The bowling
of their dogs awakened the Indians
and their aged chief, Heavy Run
ner, came out, holding above his
head his credentials attesting his
loyalty to the government, which
had been given because he had

of your society should control your
own affairs and not be subject to
any political dictation however the
pendulum of public favor may swing;
and again, as long as the State His
torical society is maintained by the
tax payers of the state of Montana
it should be under the control of it's
regularly delegated officers as it has
in thte past, hence, l am strongly of
the opinion that the two organiza-
lions should be separate and distinct

operation which will result in bene-
fits to both organizations and it
should be known and understood that
without any question whatever this
building will be the special home for
all the records of the Pioneer So

ture to preserve the records of your
society now accumulated and for all
time to come.
''In closing let me say that your
society, under its regulations, the

lowing to the effects of war,
drought, and other matters, the fin
ances of the state are in a somewhat
serious condition and it would be
next to impossible to have the Iegis-
lative assembly make suitable ap-
preparation for the construction of
library building, as also for the
creation of any new bond issues,
hence this appeal to the public spir-
tied citizens of Montana 1t is an
opportunity for public spirited old
timers who have the available means,
to make a contribution that will
make history and be entitled to the
gratitude of all the people for time
ly contribution to assist this laud-
able enterprise
MAY l not ask that each and every
one of you make a personal effort
and to put out all necessary propa-
ganda required in your respective
communities to enlist a healthy, pub
lie sentiment for the preservation and
display of these priceless records.
Under the terms of this act it is pro-
vided that the use of this building
shall be only for the Historical So
ciety of Montana and the Society of |
Montana Pioneers and it is high time |
that a suitable place should be select |
ed where the records of your society |

A private raised his rifle anc
fired. The old chief pressed his
hands together over his breast and
sank to the ground, dead.
There could have been no mis-
take about the identity of the camp
after that. Kipp and the other
scouts shouted to Major Baker that
it was Heavy Runners camp, and
that he was friend of the whites.
Major Baker, it was later said, was
too drunk to even direct the move
ments of his troops. The soldiers
advanced, began shooting into the
lodges and frightful massacre
followed. The lust of killing seiz-
ed the soldiers and they slaughter
ed 173 helpless victims. Twenty
more, who we're wounded, managed
to escape from the shambles. One
small bunch of these Indians cross
ed the river on the ice and started
for Fort Benton, where they hoped
to find protection. Mrs. Miller
was then but small baby in arms,
and the party, fearing that baby's
walls might betray them, decided
that she must be sacrificed. She
was wrapped securely in blanket,
thrust into huge snow drift - a
sacrifice for the safety of the party.
But few miles further on, they
met soldiers who proved true
friends in their distress. They
turned back and had soon rescued |
he babe, which was still alive. She
married Jack Miller,
loted frontier scout and guide, and
hey afterward lived on the Black
DOT reservation.

ler's camp, indecision prevailed as
O whether to go on and attack
fountain Chiefs camp or not. The
commanding officer was not in a
to decide. No other of
icer cared to take the response
ility for another attack. Kipp and
he other scouts disappeared and
he soldiers bivouaced for several
ours. The next day they went on

-oops returned to Fort Shaw.

er, grandmother of the boy, wa.
one of the few Indian survivors o.
the Baker massacre in the winter
of 186o-187O.
There were two outstanding
events that led up to the Baker
massacre. One of these happened
at Fort Benton, where the citizens
were stirred up by a series of at
tacks on whites by Blackfeet. In
the summer of 1869 four or five
wagons we're attacked by Indians,
who were afterward discovered to
be Crows. Several white men were
killed. This took place about IS
miles from Fort Benton, and the
populace of the town was up in
arms. AT this critical time a Black
feet youth of IA years, a brother of
Mountain Chief, head chief of the
powerful Blackfeet confederacy,
rode into Fort Benton carrying
dispatches from Major Culbertson.
This boy and two or three COM
panions were shot to death in the
streets of the town. Mountain
Chief swore that he would have
revenge and declared war on the
whites.
This incident was followed by
the murder by Blackfeet in the
Prickly Pear valley of the noted
pioneer, Malcolm Clarke. The gov
eminent demanded of the Blackfeet |
the surrender of Clarke's murder
ers, and this was refused. A de-
sultory guerilla warfare followed
and the war department, in Janu-
lry, 1870, ordered out troops from

Senator La Follettes Addresses.

Senator La Toilette. it is under
stood, contemplates responding to a
number of invitations he has received
to deliver addresses in several Sec
tions Of the country and to various
organizations, farmers gatherings
and chautauqlEa associations. The
speeches are to be made about the
time the President makes his series
Of addresses on national topics as he

is explained that Senator La Follette's 9
plans are not to be construed a.
camping on the Presidents trail, -
for such is not his intention.
Even so, sthe coincidence Of their
speechmaking will attract national
attention. The President has dis
tinctly disavowed intending making a
political campaign out of his trip
and deprecated comment giving a po-
liticaI aspect to it. He will speak
on national topics necessarily, how
ever, and on policies and plans for
ieRislation, especially railroad legis.
lation, it is said.
President Harding's views on rail-
road legislation may be expected to
vary from the Wisconsin statesman's
and the country will be thus given an
opportunity to have the two sides Of
the transportation case put before
them by two notable men.
