These were the first sheep brought
over the mountains from the west
and were also the first to be intro
duced into this part of the terri
tory. The band was placed on the
Boulder river range, and grazed there
for three years after which they were
taken to the ranges of the then Cho-
teau county, but now Cascade coun-
ty. Mr.. Kingsbury and his partners
remained in that line of business un-
til 1873, when they added cattle
raising to their business, and in 1882
they organized the Choteau Live
stock company, with Mr.. Kingsbury
as active general manager. This en-
terprise was successful and many
thousand head of cattle and sheep
were handled and marketed.
In 1892 the Big Sag Sheep com
pany was organized, Mr.. Kingsbury
being chosen president, and this
corporation has done a large busi-
ness in the handling of sheep and
cattle since that time. 1t has been
one of the important factors in the
development of that industry in the
state. Mr.. Kingsbury, was at all
times keenly interested in all pro-
gressive steps toward the develop
ment of his community, and was
counted one of the worthy empire
builders of the early West.

Bitter Root MAN Says
HE Saw ssWild MAN %
Inn the SeIway Forest

At least one person in western
Montana believes that he has
found -he solution to the report of
| the "wild man." said to have been
seen in the Storm Creek country,
west of Missoula, and in the East
Selway Forest.
The word received in Missoula
from an old-time Bitter Root resi-
dent who has made camping trips
into the section where the wild
man" is supposed to have been seen.
His information is to the effect that
he encountered an elderly man, de-
mented, well-fed, fully clothed, wan
dering in that section. Pictures of
the man were obtained.
Regarding his encounter, and its
possible connection with the report
ed "wild man" the Bitter Root man
says:
"This man is supposed to be in
the Storm Creek country, which is
directly west of the heads of Mill
creek Cor KootenaiJ and Bass creek
lake. Now I have made two camp
ing trips to Bass and Mill creek lakes
and on one of these trips, saw what I
supposed to be a crazy man.
This man seems to be well fed
and very strengths strength far
belying his years. He did not seem
to be hungry but was crazy to OBJ
tain firearms. He took my gun and
had to be forced to give it up. Dur
ing the fray, one of the party got
some snapshots.
"The headwaters of Mill creek
are very wild and are seldom visited
by campers and then only on foot,
as it is inaccessible to horses. After
reading about the wild man, believe
that this may be the man mentioned
and that he had strayed over the di-
vide into Mill crock"

Members of the state land settle

the lines suggested by the traffic
managers of the Burlington, Great

three-quarters of a million dollars
in advertising the northwest within
the next 18 months.
Information relative to agricultur-
al conditions in all sections of the
state is being prepared for insertion
in eastern and mid-western farm
publications beginning November 1.
1t is expected that 24,000,000 people
will be reached through the medium,
preparatory to the expansion of the
campaign in observation-disclosures

business men to outside cities.
Sterilization of Montana financ-
es during the last six months and re-
suits of an extensive study of the ad-
aptibility of the different crops to
the various sections of the state, will
be stressed throughout the cam

Hideous Coyote Robs
HEN Roosts i'm Eastern
States DefieS Firearms

The ranchers near Mecaha,
north Of Milestone, have been hunt
ing queer animal, thought to be
a cross between coyote and
wolf, which has been robbing hen
roosts and killing turkeys and
small pigs in that vicinity.
1t is said that the creature is
larger than the ordinary coyote and
is almost black in color. It seems to
be afflicted with the mango, for. al
though his coat seems to be thick and
heavy, there is no hair on its tail,
which gives it an unusually hideous
appearance. One rancher said that
he had a chance to shoot it but re-
Trained when he saw the condition
of its tail, thinking he would have
an opportunity to kill it later in the
season when it had recovered from
the mango, and its coat was per-
feet. Two or three days after this
the same rancher lost a number OF
chickens and upon watching, dis
covered the same coyote sneaking
around his pig pen. He went to the
house for his gun, but upon his re-
turn found that the animal had dis

One Famous Doctors
Experience

Less than 1000 of the cases exam
ined by DR.. H. T. Turner, eminent
specialist, were found to be free from
the insidious ravages of constipation.
Like thief in the dark, it attacks it's
victims, robbing them of brain ener-
gy, physical strength, and vitality of
life itself.
If you could only recognize this
menace in time; if you could only see
the terrible results of it's neglect
but read this experince of Doctor
Turner's. 1t is not at all an excep-
tional case,, but, as he himself says,

cases representing nearly all the
diseases known to our climate) two
hundred and fifty-six were more or

throw the patient into violent collie (as his
friends stated) sometimes as often as twice

This condition, Doctor Turner fur
ther states, was the cause of hemorr-
holds or piles of years standing.

in getting his life insured by one of the
best companies in America and was con-
sidered a strong and healthy man by his

This man and many others, says
Doctor Turner, had regular evacua-
tions of the bowels each day. How
could they know the deplorable CON
diiton of the intestines-the condi-
ton that caused the doctor to say:

DAUGHTER REJOINS FATHER
AFTER 27 YEARS ABSENCE

David Kaskrin, of Butte, was in
Whitehall recently for a brief visit
with his daughter, Mrs. Roy Floyd,
and husband. Mr. Kaskrin had not
heard or seen of his daughter since
the latter's babyhood and the re-
cent meeting was indeed a happy
one. He lost the sight of both eyes
in a mine explosion about 20 years
ago and the mother, unable to care
for the manned husband and child,
was compelled to give up the little
one and place in the care of an or
phan asylum. Mrs. Kaskrin died five
years later. 1t was only through a
fortunate turn of luck that Mrs.
Floyd was able to locate her father
and made possible the recent meet
ing. The latter had resided in the
mining city all these years, but be-
cause of unfortunate circumstances
was unable to locate his child.

- AILROADS did not figure
R among the subjects with which
~ Montana legislatures had tc
deal lin early territorial days. The
seat of government was at Bannack
and those who assembled there to
solve the problems of the territory
and start the wheels of the common
wealth in motion, knew OF no IA
cilities for traffic or travel other than
those whichthe stage route, the pack
train and the steamboat afforded.
/ These primitive resources were am
pie for the requirements of the times.
The first territorial legislature,
which in December, 1864, met in
Bannack in rude quarters, had sew
en- members in its upper house.
No phase of railroading presented
itself in Montana's legislature until
the territorial government was about
dozen years old. Then the rail
way problem came upon this region
with a rush and in a manner which
caused stirring times within legis-
lative circles. BY that time, Ban
mack, as the states metropolis, had
passed; Virginia City had in turn,
ceased to be the seat of government.
and Helena was the capital town of
the territory.
Along in the seventies, Jay Gould,
famous in railroad annals, was push
ing the Union Pacific railroads line
at least he was looking after the
financial end of the project. His
proposition was to build an extension
of the Utah and Northern into Mon
tana and, naturally enough, it oc-
Cured to him that he might get a
lift if the scheme were laid before
the Montana legislature and proper
ly worked.
The proposition was that the mar
row-guage line be pushed to Silver
Bow Junction, or to Butte, and that |
in return for this blessing the terri
tory issue bonds to the amount of
81, 100000 as a subsidy for the bene-
fit of those who proposed to build
the road. The railroad had an ac-
tive lobby at Helena during the leg
islative assembly that convened in
January, 1875. The usual palaver
was eloquently urged; there was no

i would reap from the building of the
road: in comparison with these the
million and a half was the merest
/ bagatelle, it was urged. Just the
same this big bundle of debt looked
ominous to the people of the terri
tory within which, by the official
census returns, there were only 90
600 people.
Two legislative sessions dealt with
this bonding proposition In the
session of 1876 the scheme was car
ried in the council, but it went to its
death in the house. The bill pro
vided that the subsidy be paid over
to "Charles ]. Richardson, ct al, 4"
One of the characters in the house
was Major Graham, who was Joint
member from Deer Lodge and Mis-
soula counties. Graham was not par
ticularly faithful in his attendance
at the sessions, but he was on hand
when, in the closing hours of the
legislatures career, the subsidy bill
came up for final action. The ma
ior got to the floor and caught the
speakers eye.
81 DESIRE" he said, ITO make a
parliamentary inquiry. / wish to
know who Charles J. Richardson is
1 know who 'et al is-that is Sam
Hauser."
The narrow-guage subsidy was
lost, but the road was built just the
same. Its projectors had intended
all the while to build it, but the
play for the subsidy was one which
they deemed worth while.
A couple of years later the subsidy
proposition presented itself in an
other form. The promoters of the
Northern Pacific railroad had man
aged to build their road as far
west as Bismarck. The road, in it's
westward course, had had its share
of adverse experiences, but under Mr. |
meteoric management it was
pushing earnestly in the direction of
the Puget Sound. In 1873 the Nor
thern Pacific people made an effort
to secure from the territory of Mon
tana a $3,000,000 subsidy, in CON
sideration of the extension of it's
line across Montana. The plan was
we'll exploited by the railroad people,
but it never found favor with the

Death recently claimed one of
Great Falls earliest pioneers
when A. W. Kingsbury, died at
his home in that city. He was
perhaps one of the best known
figures in Montana when the state
was in the making, and for nearly
half a century was engaged in
stock raising in ChOteau and Cas-
cade counties. Despite his 80
years he was in appearance and
action a man of so, and enjoyed
excellent health until taken ill with
pneuomnia a short time prior to
his death.
Adkin w. Kingsbury was born on
his fathers farm in Howard county,
Mo, October 20, 1912. He was the
sixth of eight children and during
his boyhood days he attended school
in the winter months and worked
in the summer on the home farm.
On May 8, 1864, in company with
his brother, Lilburn, he left home
with an OK team, travelling overland
to Omaha where they joined a west
bound overland train consisting of
20 wagons some, of which were
bound for Montana, others to Idaho
Washington and Oregon.
At Fort Laramie their wagon train
was detained by the United States
troops that were there stationed, due
to Indian uprisings. After a short
wait, and when the war parties had
quieted down, they were allowed to
proceed, reaching Beaverhead and
Jefferson City late in the fall of
1864-65, where they spent the winter.
In the spring Mr.. Kingsbury's
brother took up a ranch at the fork
of the Prickly Pear and Ten Mile
creek, and here they engaged in
farming. Expenses were very high,
as can be judged from the fact that
they paid as high as S18 for an
ounce of onion seed This venture
did not prove a success, and the
brother returned to his home in
Missouri.
Mr.. Kingsbury left for Helena,
where he opened livery stable, this |
proving a more profitable enterprise.
He followed this line of business un-
til 1871 when he engaged in pros
pecting and placer mining in Over
land gulch for a short time. after
which he entered the sheep growing
business.
He became associated with Daven-
port and Ray, and this firm pur- ]
chased a band of 1900 sheep which
had been brought to Deer Lodge
from Oregon by William Hardness.
