PATRIOTISM AS SCHOOL
SUBJECT, LEGION URGES

Patriotism will be one of the
subjects taught in Montana schools
as part of the American Legion
Americanization plan if the state
department of the organization
has it's way, Newt Gilliland, Mon
tana commander recently asserted
at meeting of the Miles City Post.
Mr.. Gilliland stated that COM
mittee had been appointed at the
recent meeting in Helena, the
duties of which would be to get
intouch with the proper state au-
thorities and force the issue. Mr..
Gilliland stated that the teachers
can do more toward making good
American citizens than probably
any other persons.
Mr.. GiIIiIand also announced
the appointment of John Fitz-
gerald as field marshall over the
posts of Treasure, Rosebud, Gus
ter, Powder River and Garfield
counties. His work will be to
assist in bringing the various posts
closer together and to help in prov
ing to former service men the val

GIRL OF THE ROCKIES
MAKES PETS OF LIONS

Cornelia Baker is the daughter
of Bob Baker, champion 'sIive
lion" catcher of the Rocky noun
tains. They live on the western
boundary of Glacier National park,
where Baker has captured 500
lions in the last 20 years, thus
earning the record of having done
more than an army of big game
hunters in protecting the deer of
the vast game preserve of Uncle
Sans, according to recent report
from the bureau of national parks
at Washington.
Cornelia makes pets of the cub
mountain lions that are some
times included in her fathers
catches. He trees and ropes the
old lions with Iariat.
The tragedy of it all is that
Cornelia has to part with all her
pets when they grow up and feroc-
ity take the place of their glowing ,
cuteness." Her father then sells
them to circuses and CorneIia
cries at the parting. Then it is up
to dad to bring in another litter
of lion cubs for Cornelia to raise
on the bottle.

The buildings at Fort Ellis are

of the stables has gone. The little
group of log buildings marking

Opposite the offic-

barracks which were built when
the post was enlarged after the ar
rival of the cavalry.
Some distance southeast of this
collection of buildings stands the
hospital in a little grove of trees.
Still further on, on the southeast

The first duty of the Second
Cavalry. after its arrival at Fort
Ellis. July l, 1869, was to go on ar
expedition to the mouth of the
Musselshell to look out practical
road TO what was then expected
would be the head of navigation on
the Missouri river. This trip was
not particularly eyentful.
In December, 1869, the Piegans
and other Indians became trouble
some, stealing horses and cattle
and dashing out of danger across
the Canadian border. Four troops
under Major Baker set out from
Fort Ellis on a 240-mile ride to the
Marias river with the temperature
ranging from 80 to 40 degrees be-
low zero. The route lay between
Helena and Fort Shaw and result
ed in the massacre of an entire In
dian village of Piegans. The
troops took the Indians entirely by
surprise at an early hour in the
morning and when the slaughter
was ended, betwene 100 and 100 In
dams, men, women and children,
had been slain.
No particular credit can attach to
this brilliant" victory of Major
Baker as it was afterwards claimed
and very likely proved, that this
was a peaceable band, entirely in
nocent of the offenses which had
brought about its destruction.
In 1870 and 1871 there were ex-
petitions from Fort Ellis down the
and the Yellowstone.
On the second of these, in 1912,
the troops guarded the surveying
parties on the Northern Pacific |
route. During this expedition, the
battle was fought with the Indians
on what was afterwards termed |
Bakers battlefield, below Billings. |
About l 500 Indians took part in
his engagement. They were chief
y Sioux, but numbered among
hem were many Brules, Ogalal-
as, Cheyennes and stragglers from
i've or six other tribes. The COM
nand had with it considerable
,eef herd, which was quartered out
ide the camp. There were also a
lumber of civilians, who were fol-
owing the party, and who were
:amped outside the regular camp.
Early in the morning one of the
civilians awoke and found a paint

Immediately shot and killed the in

The directors went on record at
this meeting as in favor of holding
the next annual convention at Hell
ena the latter part of January, 1925,
the dates of which will be announced
later. A plan for establishing sew
eral branches of the association in

reaus as a basis of work which will
play an important part in the future
