THESE ARE TOUGH TIMES FOR CHARLES
M. RUSSELL, WHO CANNOT PAINT HIS
PICTURES FAST ENOUGH; BIG SALES

TT ERE is Artist Nofziger's pen
sketch of Charles M. Russell,
Montana's famous artist, just
now the sensation in the world of
art, and who is sojourning in
southern California. The drawing
appeared on the front page of a re-
cent issue of the Los Angeles Even
ing Herald, together with the fol-
lowing story of spectacular sales
made during the past few weeks of
some of Mr.. Russell's paintings:
Following close upon the recent
sale by Charles M. Russell, the
cowboy artist" of one of his best
canvases to the Prince of Wales
for $4,000, six of the painters
other works have been sold to four
wealthy Americans for sums ag-
gregating $4,000.
After deploring the fact that Mr..
Russell's paintings have in the past
found a reader market in London
and Paris than in any American
city, ID. ii. Wilson, Pittsburgh
manufacturer, came west to buy
"Navajos," one of the Montana
painters most notable pictures.

ADVENTUROUS LIFE OF BILLIE COCHRAN.
FAMOUS INDIAN FIGHTER OF THE NORTH

season the song of the reaper is the
voice of a steam giant; lowing kline

it is the prairieland Of. peace and
plenty.
Time vas when it was otherwise.
Fifty years ago this section was one
of the last backgrounds of the
white and red Because of the
succulent grasses which grew on it's
prairies vast herds of buffalo fed
there, and where the buffalo fed the
red man hunted. The white man,
disturber of conditions ideal, who
ventured therein, staked his life. The
Indians killed that other whites
might take counsel and stay away.
But the white men kept on coming.
The fact that many of the first who
came were killed made little differ
ence. And they had a way of taking
toll among the Indians, too. So for
years this guerilla warfare %contin-
ued. White settlers, caught in lone
some places, would be blotted out.
Red hunters, taken unawares, were
butchered. =
Cochran, Indian Fighter
In this desultory warfare reputa-
lions we're won and lost and in all the
north country there was but one man
of whom the Indians were afraid.
This man was William Cochran. In
his prime he was the surest shot be-
tween the Saskatchewan and the yell
lowstone. The stock of his Henry
rifle, a repeater, was full of notches,
and every notch stood for a good In
charmed life. Time and again the
Indians caught him out alone, but
he always managed to get away and
never without taking his deadly toll.
On one occasion, when he was shot
his horse, he killed two Indians
as they were rushing up to scalp
him.
Finally only the bravest would ven
ture against Cochran, and the word
forth among the superstitious
Indians that witchcraft protected
him. Silver bullets moulded by fam
Gus medicine men failed to reach
mark. 1t seemed like flying
in the face of fate to attempt to kill
the man whom the very gods, red and
white, c%onspired to protect, and
many Indians who attempted it took
he long journey to the happy hunt
ng grounds of Oblivion. This was
1alf a century ago. Now Cochran, in

STEAMER CAME TO
THE GREAT FALLS
CAPTAIN BURKE DROVE HIS
BOAT FARTHEST UP
MISSOURI
MOOred His Boat at Old Portage
Within Sound of Great Cataract;
1. G. Baker, Merchant Prince Of
Fifty Years Ago.

How far has any river boat beer
navigated on the head waters OF thu
Missouri river? The late 1. G. Baker
is authority for the statement that
steamboat has been propelled to 9
point a few miles below the city Of
Great Falls, and stopped only then
because it was within hearing of the
great cataract of the Missouri, where
the unleashed waters have put up a
perpetual barrier against further up
river travel.
According to the Baker narrative,
as recorded by Lieutenant Bradley in
his journal, the navigator who accom-
plished this feat was Captain Burke,
of the steamer Tom Stevens. At a
dinner party given in Fort Benton,
in July, 1858, Captain Burke made
the statement that he wanted to be
the navigator who would take his
boat farther up the river than anyone
else. He invited all those present to
accompany him and it was decided
to make the trip the next day.
All Benton was out to wish the
venturesOme captain bon voyage. The
steamer made its way slowly, and it
vas not until / o'clock on the fol-
lowing morning hat the old portage,
a point about six miles below the
main cataract and about SO miles by
river from Fort Benton, was reached.
Those on board the Tom Stevens
could distinctly hear the roar of the
great water fall, which has since been
harnessed and is providing electricity
for half the towns and cities in the
state.
The steamer was moored at the
portage, and Captain Burke and his
friends disembarked and walked to
the great falls, where they lunched.
They passed that night on board the
steamer, and dropped down the river
the next morning to Fort Benton.
Among the passengers was /. G..
Baker, then the merchant prince of
northern Montana and southern Al
berta.
This incident occurred nearly 20
years before James J.. Hill, empire
builder, and Former Senator Paris
Gibson, stood on the hills north of
what is now Great Falls, and, viewing
the virgin site, resolved to build a
city.

WOMAN ROUTED SIX INDIANS
sinoIe-Handed, Mrs. Merrill Slew Red
skins With an Ak, Only Ono
Escaping.

During the summer Of 1887, Mr.
Merrill's cabin in Nelson county, Ky-
was attacked by seven wandering In
dians, writes Lewis Appleton Barker In
Adventure Magazine The barking Of
the watchdog at midnight was the
family's first knowledge Of the ap-
proach of any one, and, unfortunately,
Mr.. Merrill. opening the door to learn
what was afoot, had his thigh and arm
Immediately broken by rifle fire, thus
placing him at the very beginning hors
de combat. AS he fell he cried out to
his wife to close the door. Mrs. Mer-
rill, the equal of any man in both
and dropped the bar of the door, just
as several Indians appeared in view.
1t was not long however, before they
had effected breach and were half
way into the little room. With only
the AK as weapon this Amazonian
woman killed or seriously wounded
four of her assailants.
The other three, ascending to the
roof, made an effort to make an en-
trance by means of the great chimney
Undaunted, the lone defender, with
four savages wallowing in their blood
at her feet, seized her choicest posses
sion, feather bed, and, ripping it open
threw it upon the fire, making blind
ing smoke, in which two of the re-
naming fiends dropped to the hearth
nearly insensible. 1t was but the work
of moment to dispatch these two as
she had the others.
One would have thought that this
would have been enough for the sole
survivor, but apparently he, too, was
not devoid of courage. For scarcely
had she succeeded in Kidding herself o.
those who had come down the chime.
than her attention was called to the
last one who was even then hurlins
himself over the threshold of the
broken door. There was not ever
time to raise her weapon for a goot
blow, but just as it was in her hands
she drew the keen edge of the gor!

SEEK RIGHT MAN
Many Women's Cogent Reason
for Remaining Single.
Happy Until Lovers They Have Seen
In Their Dreams Shall Come
to Find Them.

The woman who remains single
from choice is often an enigma to her
friends.
They do not know that she is wait
ing, in response to an impulse she
feels bound to obey, for the lover she
is certain is also awaiting her,
She may be suitorless or she may
be sought after by many. In the for
mer case she does not repine, for an
inner voice assures her that one day
she will meet the longed-for lover.
If men talk of marriage she listens
and-shakes her head. "This is not
he," something tells her. Blindly
obedient, without knowing why, the
woman who waits bows her head to
the decree.
Her friends would like to see her
married and say so. She explains she
has not the slightest objection to
matrimony, but she does not wish to
be wed-not yet
1t is that little phrase, mot yet,'
which is the explanation of her con-
duct.
The right man, the man she wants,
has not yet come along. Charles
may be nice, John a perfect dear and
Ronald extremely eligible. Marion
admits these things but with quiet
persistence aflirms she cannot marry
any one of them.
1t sounds an unreasonable, illog-
ical way of looking at things
1t Is. But woman was born with
an unreasonable Illogical kink in her
mental makeup and she can no more
help being swayed by impulse than
an aspen can help trembling in the
breeze.
1t is next to impossible for her tc
say exactly why she cares for some
particular man. 1t is equally difficult
to decide why and in what manner
another just falls short of making hel
love him.
This is because, in matters of the
heart, a woman is invariably guided
by her emotions. Her brain plays lit
tie part in the affair.
And when she feels that "the one
man in the world is somewhere look
ing out for her, nothing on earth viii
induce her to say, "Yes" to another.
1t is an old, romantic idea thai
every mortal has some kindred sou
of the other sex with whom he or sht
is intended by the gods to dwell II
perfect understanding and love.
Women there are who still believ,
this. They are those who wait-ant
are happy in doing so-for the love-
they live to meet.-Brooklyn Eagle.
