of pioneer Montana history and urges
that they be properly marked by the
state.
During the past year, the Pioneer
society has marked the Mullan wagon
road, constructed in 185S-59 by the
government under the direction of
Captain Mullan from Fort Benton to
Couer d'Alene; the spot where gold
was first found in Montana and the
site of the meeting of Captains Lewis
and Clark and the Indians near Arm
stead.
Other memorials which are urged
are markers for the grave of Nal
colin Clark, famous fur trader and
pioneer; George Detweiler, speaker
o fthe first territorial legislature, and
those of other men notable in the
states early history.
The report notes, in addition to the
receipt of numerous smaller relics of
pioneer Montana, the occasion of
1348 books during the period, the re-
ceipt Of a number of photographs of
Montana pioneers, oil portraits of
Bishop Carroll and Bishop Brondel,
books and pamphlets from the lib

The company planned to enter ex-
tensiyely into the cattle and horse
industry. During the first year it
secured 400 head of horses and cat
tie, but after the first winter it
found that it could not keep any
great herd of stock, SO in the spring
of 1885 the bunch was taken north
to the British possessions, where,
about two years later, the cattle was
sold to Canadian purchasers.
The real estate, however, remained
for some time in the possession of the
company and was finally bought by
one Of the members, Duncan G. Hun
ter, who about 1889 sold out to the
Anaconda company for $4,000. For
several years, however, Three Forks
was strictly English, and then the
old town was a pretty lively place,
all things considered.
Quite a number of the English re-
sidents were descendants of well
known noblemen of the old country.
They were Joined from time to time
by others who were too wild to re-
main under the parental roof and
we're shipped off to America to cool
off. There were several among
them who ''read for the ministry" but
had fallen from grace.
One of the colony, Henry G.
Chatter, started a scheme whereby he
was to purchase a ranch in the Madi-
valley, build a few log cabins
and then return to England and in
duce parents of wild sons" to send
them to his "reformatory," where
they would be taught the American
of farming and at the same
time have a little common sense
knocked into them. He did sue

but would simply swim across. One
of their number, Charles Green, was
drowned in the spring of 1887 while
swimming across the Madison but
the accident did not appear to scare
the others.
One John Carey Cakes started in
the cattle business on his own ac-
count up the Madison valley, but when
the first winter was half over he ran
out of hay and was unable to buy
any from his neighbors. He came
down to Three Forks one morning
and told his countrymen that the
COWS would have to eat willows or
s~tarye, as the hay had all gone and
he had come down to spend the rest
of the winter.
In the following ten years, all the
gang scattered, many going into
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1924-12-04

and while they could not hit the side
of a house with a rifle, they were
fairly good shots with the scatter
gun. One day the whole gang,
about ten or fifteen of them, bought
a healthy porker, took him up the
road from town and turned him
loose. Each was armed with a rifle.
When the pig had gotten a good start
they ran after him, firing as fast as
they could.
The frightened porker made for
the main street of Three Forks with
the EngIishmen after him, shooting
wildly, but they could not kill the
"bloody' pig. The inhabitants of the
town were scared to death, for the
bullets were flying thick and fast.
and the only safe place was in the
cellar. There many of them retired
until the Britishers tired of their
sport, the pig, strange to relate, not
being touched by a single bullet.
At other times, the colony would
have a general gathering when Eng
lishmen from another colony near
Manhattan would join them. Beer,
wine and good things to eat were
plentiful. Along about midnight
when the rest of the inhabitants
were fast asleep someone would sug-
gest that they wake up the "bloom-
in buffers of Americans" and out
they would go, each armed with
some kind of firearm, and for ten
or fifteen minutes there would be a
fusilade that would wake the sound
est sleeper in town.
Once M. T. Barney built an ice
boat, the first of it's kind in Montana.
and then the Englishmen had heaps
of fun. The whole of the Madison
valley used to overflow when ice
backed the river up, and for sew
eral miles it was a sheet of ice. One
day the crew of the ice boat started
down the flat with a fair wind. From
all accounts the party must have
been travelling at the rate of a mile
a minute when a four-strand barbed
wire fence doomed up ahead.
Just as the boat was about to hit
the fence they all jumped and when
they finally got to their feet they
looked as though they had just fin
lshed a bout with a grizzly bear. The
boat was a complete wreck.
They could ride too, and many a
bucking horse was ridden with an
English saddle. These Englishmen
appeared to have no fear, and they
could swim like ducks. If one of
them happened to be out hunting
and found himself on the wrong side
Of the Gallatin or the Madison, he
wouldn't trouble to find a bridge,

FIVE Things EVERY
COLORED PERSON MUST
LEARN And PRACTICE

1. Unity. In that he must value
and accord necessary honor to his
own.
2. That because a man is good
citizen and the leader of a certain
group in his own immediate neighbor-
hood, he is not the leader of the
fourteen or more million of US.
3. That those of us who have not
passed out of the grammar school,
and have had little opportunity to
study human nature, must learn to
accept the opinion of those of our
men and women who have had train
ing and experience.
4. That a Negro can be mentally
bright, can be a first-class doctor or
dentist, or elocutionist, an eloquent
divine, a celebrated teacher or good
author, without the white man first
saying so.
s. That it is high time for Negroes
to awaken to one thing at least-to
want recognition of ability as man
to man, and not recognition because
of the fact that such and such a man
Is a fine specimen of Negro man
hood; and that he was appointed to
office because he is, or was, or has
been. leading Negro. We want
appointments and recognition to
stand on merit and fitness.
When these five things shall have
been learned by all Of us; when they
are taught our children and our chill
dren's children. the white man will
"sit up and take notice."
