Hall grove north of Mandan and 30
miles from Bismarch near Price yes
terday. The day was fine and every
body was in the best Of spirits. Tom
Hall blazed the way in his Ford
speedster and kicked up all kinds Of
dust so that the rest of US couldn't
see whether we were on or off the
road most of the time. Fred Peter
son at the start promised not to cut
the crowd with his Stutz, and ate as
much dirt as the rest of US; except,
on coming back, after ne left, We did
not see hide nor hair of him since
then. 1t was up Hill and down hin
all along the way, and skirting ana
circling' mountain butte after butte
with the deep precipice falling away
on one side. The view was grand all
the way up as viewed from the high
peaks. The Missouri's broad silva
stream lying to the right of Us
skirted on both sides by the eve,
pleasing effect of the verdant
green timber; and to our left and in
our midst the eye pas >ed over stream
and rivulet, dell and ravine, deep
gullies and steep cliffs, here and
there dotted with .clumps Of trees,
and the ever green grass spreading
over the whole vast expanse. At last
we came to Halls grove. and here we
camped for the days picnic on the
side Of hill under the overhanging
elms, and near the silver brook COM
ing down from the near mountains
fed by it's 1875 springs, and as clear
as crystal with silver minnows fit
ting up and down.
The first to arrive were the Halls,
Olsons, Petersons and the Wehes
After the ladies had set the lunch il.
full swing, along came the Heddens
piloted by Bob Webb; and, then the
Loubeks pulled in with Bob roarins,
about the road that Tom Hall for
got to mark, and said he had cove red
all creation with gates leading every
where; but Bob is q: persistent fell
low, and at FAST he found the gate
which led over the breaking. Sad to
relate that some Of the Lions and
Cubs lost the wav. and never found
the lair. The feast they missed up
in the wild KLEIN by the elms and
the oaks fit for kings and fairy
nymphs is their loss, and they will
never know or experience such an
earthly luxury as the Lions feasteo
upon that day. After the lunch th-
Lions caught minows and frogs for
the fishing at Square Butte Creek,
while the Lionesses cleaned up the
lairsgnd prowled in the woods.
Later in the afternoon we all set out
for Square Butte creek near Yucca.
Here on the banks Of the creek we
camped again. The Lions went fish
ing along, its banks. Some of tho
children and young misses went in
wading and provided entertainment.
for the ladies when several fell into
the creek clothes and all. One
young Miss and child were minus
clothes for awhile, and various pieces
were hung on the bushes to dry,
while they themselves kept closely
wrapped in blankets and cloaks, till
they were dry. It was such a good
joke that they all enjoyed it, ana
the unlucky one will remember it
and the creek for some time.
All the crack fishermen were MAX
ing excuses for not pulling them in
rs usual, and, especially Hedden who
had such wonderful catch down at
Lake Perham, just last week. May
