The Papooses May BE
Kissed This Year BY
Politicians Montana S
Inn dians Have Vote

Under the new federal law, APP
proximately 5000 Indians on var
ious reservations in Montana have
been given the right to vote. The
Indians were permitted to cast
their ballots at the recent primary
election.
Doubtless, this new law will turn
the campaigners for the fall elections
toward the reservations in the hope
of swinging the red men in body,
with a view to thus understanding
their opponent. Whether any of the
candidates will succeed is a question,
but in the coming general election
candidates will have wonderful OPP
portunity to practice on the science
of political campaigning. If they
have forgotten how to kiss the ba-
bies, they may try out on the pap
Dose and get in form.
A sample of the names of voters
on one Montana reservation has been
received at Helena, and among 9TH
ers are the following names:
Joseph Bossribs, Louise Bossribs,
George L. Duckhead, Joseph Iron
Pipe, Grasssnake Little Blaze, Sam

Wild West Stuff Gets
Montana Youth Into
Ha nds of The Law

A recent news dispatch from the
town of Worland, Wyoming, gives
an account of the spectacular car
reer of Vernon Black, of Montana.
Taking two guns, a rope, a pair of
boots, winters supply of ammun-
ition and copy of the Western
Story magazine, Vernon Black, a
Montana boy who has been working
with haying crew near Worland,
started on a career of adventure,
says the report.
Before he had been gone long, his
thefts had been discovered and the
authorities we're busy with the wires.
Some hours later Lee Doherty of the
No Wood store was talking over the
phone with the proprietor of the Ly-
site store and told of the fugitive, and
the Lysite store owner remarked that
the young man was in his place of
business at that very minute After
receiving the proper authority, the
storekeeper placed the youth I'M

rival of deputy sheriff from Sho-
shone. From Lysite he was taken to
the Shoshone jail, from whence he
was taken to Worland.
At Shoshone Black came near eff
fecting his escape. BY use of sticks
and wire he managed to pull his
suitcase from a bench in the Jail lob
by to his cell door, tore it open and
obtained one of the guns and 100 or
more rounds of ammunition. When
he sheriff brought his lunch he was
ready for action, but made a fatal
when he cooked the gun
which warned the officer who jumped
into an adjoining cell for safety.
During his stay in Worland he has

horses hind quarters and of course
they reared around acting as though
they wanted to shake hands with the
driver. We all felt pretty bad and
were ashamed of ourselves. The
father said for us to go to Deer
Lodge for the night and in the morn
ing some of us could look up the
corpse and bury it.
eve all went to Deer Lodge and
had meeting in Pete Valiton's
brewery. The next morning Jim and
I and two more started out from
Deer Lodge in the wagon. At the top
of the hill we found the place where
the horses had acted up and after a
long search we finally found the cof-
fin down in the creek bed where it
rolled. And there was poor Micky
standin' on his head. We had an
awful time gettin' the water out of
the coffin, but we brought the body
up reyerently to Deer Lodge and we
buried it with proper ceremonies.
And that's all there is to my story 1t
seems funny now, but it was ter
rible then" said Mr.. Bose.

HOW M1CKY FINN WAS BURIED
WITH RITES DM WINTER OF 1870

TIN pioneer annals there is one
story that has never been pub.
= hshed. 1t has been forgotten al
most, and might have been lost to
history but for a chance circum-
| stance. At the time of its happening
| it was grim tragedy. 1t has been
softened by time until now it is told
with chuckles. And there are but
two men who can tell the story
clearly, for it happened before Mr..
Volstead and his act were ever heard
or dreamed Of One of these men is
| Henry Bose, resident and one of the
earliest settlers of the Flathead val
ley, who attended the recent conven-
ton of Montana Pioneers held at
Butte. He is rs and hale, hearty and
kindly at that age. His sense of
humor and his sense of drama are vi
vid and are the explanation of his
eternal youth"
Rivals Dan McGrew
"The Shooting of Dangerous Dan
McGrew' has no edge on the history
of the lost corpse, and the former be-
longs to fact. Mr.. Bose stated that
longs to fct. Mr.. Bose stated that
he had almost forgotten the circum-
stance of the story when it was re-
called to him by chance meeting
with Jim" at pioneers meeting
three years ago. Jim came up to
him and said: Aren't you Dutchy,
who was in Bear Gulch in '68 or
10? Mr.. Bose admitted that he was
the person in question. "You remem-
Der the winter of 10 when Micky
Finn died?" One question brought on
another until between them, the two
pioneers had placed together the
fragments that make Mr.. Bosses
story, which was told by him in the
following manner:
at was IN Bear Gu1ch in the win
ter of 10. At that time there were
no wagon roads, only trails, but
Bear Town was prosperous mining
camp, cutting straight across as we
did, in the neighborhood of 35 miles
from Deer Lodge. We were drift
ing and hosting pay dirt to wash in
the spring; and the diggin's were
deep.

Micky Finn-lived the third claim
below us and in the winter he got
sick. We visited him several times
and finally Micky died.
''Micky was good Christian and
his partner had promised him that
he would bury him in consecrated
ground. We miners agreed upon the
advice of Joaquin Abascal, to get our
horses and bury Micky in Deer

of the Butte reunion of pioneers
Besides her sweet manner and her
still excellent health, her wonderful
memory of events of the days of old
is remarkable.
Born in New Jersey in 1910, she
came as child to frontier Iowa, and
on April 8, 1864, was married to
Mr.. Milligan. Tie day following her
marriage, like Ruth, whittier thou
goest, I also co." she entered her
husbands covered wagon, hauled by
four oxen, and in caravan of 16
wagons started for Montana. Mr..
Milligan, although but rs years of
age, had already been west and in
Colorado was partner of William
A. Clarke in a mining venture. The
name of the mine was the Bobo Tail.
Indians Arrive.
Camped one evening on the Platte
river, a band of Indians rode UP to
the group of covered wagons, and be-
cause of Mrs. Milligan's size-she
weighed but 104 pounds-and her
dimpled youth, the Indians called her
sPappoose' and gathered about her.
In the spirit of joke Mr.. Milligan
told them he was her father.
"How much you trade her?" asked
a sub-chief.
-Four ponies" answered the
laughing young husband.
Like a flash the Indian rushed the
four Indian pinto ponies toward Mr..
Milligan and reached out for the
hand of the "Papoose."
II tell you I was frightened" said
Mrs. Milligan in narrating the story.
ST pulled back and started to cry
and it required the earnest efforts of
Mr. Milligan and the rest of the men
to make the Indians understand that

The party of 16 wagons reached
Alder safely.

iff?" she was asked.

over an Arapahoe pack saddle. One
of the boys led the horse that was
carrying it behind his own. There
was quite a string of us.
Build Coffin.
Near the mouth of Bear creek
we found man who had his rip-saw
set up in the woods. Some of us
stayed there to saw enough lumber
! to make coffin for poor Micky,
while some of us went into the Bitter
Root to Baron O'Keefe to borrow an
old democrat wagon and harness.
We had quite time breaking the
cayuses into harness, which wasn't
very strong. 1t was made of Shay
anapy, which is a kind of Indian
leather.
well, we put the corpse in the
coffin and placed it in the wagon in
the back. Next morning when we
got ready to pull out for Deer Lodge
we had another circus gettin' the
horses started, but after breakfast
the procession started, those on horse
back going ahead. 1t was quite a
procession. We travelled until we
got to Gold Creek. At Pioneer bar
there was some ground sluice and
we found there was a saloon.

GAS it was late in the afternoon
some of the boys went in and had a
drink. And then pretty soon they
went in and had another drink. Then
we concluded that as poor Micky had

We got some candles and brought
the coffin in and set it on two beer
kegs. We took off the lid and light
ed the candles and there was poor
Micky layin' in there. We had
some real good singin' and drinkin'
all night. TIL boys all got pretty
tired and SO we made our beds on the
floor around the coffin.
In the morning as we had to go
on, we had a miner make US some |
coffee and we started out on our
journey toward Deer Lodge. The |
boys were pretty we'll worn out so
that in the afternoon the storekeeper
said to me and Jim to ride on ahead |
and see the priest and tell him we

Micky. So the two of us spurred up
our horses and got to Deer Lodge
and saw the father and told him to
show us the place to dig the grave.
He was very kind to US and gave us
some supper. Then we dug the
grave and it was pretty dark. It took
