General Harry M. Daugherty, leav.

where his foes seek his resignation

grand jury Investigations into the
Veterans Bureau, arrived here on

Brig. Gen. Charles E. Sawyer,

Daugherty, who will attend the

Schuyler said that in his opinion,

This final defiance spurred the
Attorney Generals friends in the
Senate to rally in his defense. They
sought not to prevent enactment Of

by Senator BrooShart, RepD Of
Iowa, an insurgent leader, as chair
man; Senator Jones (Rep) Of
Wash; Senator Mclean, Rep) Of
Conn; Senator Ashurst, DemD Of
Ariz. and Wheeler himself.
Selection Of this committee was
even conceded by the Attorney
Generals supporters.
Action Of Administration Senators
in opposing this slate was in direct
contrast to their previous action
in urging Daugherty's resignation.
It was freely reported that the

came after might enjoy the fruits of
peace.
1t was in the %conquering of a new
country in the northwest that the
metal and steel of the early settler
was tried as if in the crucible of a
mighty struggle.
When the struggle was over,
thanks to the aid given by the mill
tary arm of the government, the sue
culent grass of the northern plains
attracted the attention of the rangers
of the southwest, and up from that
region over the historic Texas trail
there came those vast herds of long
horned steers to be conditioned for
the market, and with them came that
race of bow-legged men, known as
cowboys. Ranches were instituted
embracing thousands of acres of land
over which the cattle grazed and each
year saw the repetition of the COM
ing of more longhorns from out of
the southwest.

many other efforts which once in the
earlier days of the open range made
up much of the daily life of the cow
boy. Besides this, the appearance of
an old stage coach, a vehicle once
the classic carriage of the plains for
long distance covering, casts a halo
of romantic glory over those efforts
of the pioneer and the ranchman,
when chivalry, oftentimes rather
Don Quixotic, spread its mantle of
rivalry over the northwest when the
virtues of women we're defended with
weapons, bare fists and even with life
itself.
These are the days and their
events that are commemorated in the
living %pageantry of the present day
in Roundups and Stampedes. Much
of that which happened must be told
in story for it cannot be enacted, but
there are always present, yet in these
days, many of the men whose feats
are recited to the interested visitor,
and to the t%enderfoot whocame to
the northwest within the past two or
three decades of time is related many
of these stirring tales. He passes
them on by word of mouth, as a con-
sequence of which, by much repeat
ing there has been added to the cur
rent literature of the present day
many idealistic recitals which have
their foundation in the days of the
past.
For eleven years, the Miles City
Roundup, which is now incorporated
under the name of the Miles City
Roundup and Historical Association,
has reproduced for the edification of
the people and to the delight of the
visitor within her gates, the noble
events of the past. The twelfth annual
event will be staged again on July 2,
8 and 4, on the eastern edge of the
old Fort Keogh reservation, whose
history is closely linked with the
early day struggles with the savage

civilization has come in with its con
c~entration of effort and built cities
and erected fences.
Much of the colloquialism of the
Lone Star state came along with the
herds which were driven over the
trail into the northwest. Their quaint
ennunciations are wholly unintelIi-
gible to the average stranger. There
IS something romantic in the listening
TO the conversation of the old-time
ranch foreman, or the cowboy, which
lends a certain enchantment to those
vigorous days of the past, that their
revival in living ~pageantry is prov

features of western holidays that can

travellers from foreign countries
come to visit awhile at the annual
festivities which are kept alive in the

In these events which are staged
annually, for instance, in Miles City,
