THE TRAv0NS, ANCIENT TRANSPORTATION

TN THE MIDDLE '7Os when

TN THE MIDDLE '7Os when
troops of the United States
were in the field in southern
Montana and northern Wyoming
engaged in the campaign to put
down Indian uprisings, and when
many bloody engagements were
had with the warning tribes, the
troops were frequently hard put to
care for and transport their wound
ed back to their regular posts for
disqualification.
In most of the instances when
pursuit of the marauding bands
had carried the troops far from
routes over which wagon ambul-
Iances could be transported, when
the whole command was in the sad

the wounded except by hand or

FIRST TRIP OUT IN
FORTY-SIX YEARS
CAME UP THE RIVER ON BOAT IN
1873; As DAYS TRIP FROM
ST. LOUIS
Lived in the First House to be Built
in Great Falls; Husband Was the
First Contractor in Great Falls;
Made One Trip to Helena.

Mrs. w. G. Jones, one of the first
white women to come to Great Falls,
and who lived for 20 years in the
first residence erected in that city,
left for the east few days ago, it
being her first trip, with the excep-
tion of journey to Helena, she has
made out of Great Falls since her
arrival there.
Mrs. Jones came to Fort Benton
as girl in 1878, being six weeks
and three days in making the trip
on steamboat up the Missouri river.
In 1883 she was married to Whitman
G. Jones, contractor and builder, bet
| ter known as Vinegar" Jones, be-
cause of his having established the
first vinegar factory in Great Falls.
In 1884, 40 years ago, Mr.. Jones
moved to Great Falls, being the first
carpenter and builder on the prairie
upon which the townsite was marked
out. Mrs. Jones followed one year
after. and since that time has been
a constant resident of the town, ex-
cept the making of one trip to Hell
ena three years ago on necessary
business. She was 10 years of age
when she came to Fort Benton with
an uncle, her parents having died,
and her brother being left with other
relatives. During her 80 years in
Great Falls Mrs. Jones raised fam
lily, attended to her household duties,
aided her neighbors in trouble and
in joy, and was happy in her every
day work without the excitement of
travel.
Mrs. Jones lived in the first house
erected in Great Falls for more than
20 years, being the little log house
which yet stands at SIG Fifth avenue
south, and which is still the property
of Mr.. and Mrs. Jones. The house
was built for Mr.. Jones in 1883 by
Joe Pepper, and is today as sturdy as
when first erected, although plaster
ed inside and made a modern DWELL
ing.
Mr.. Jones erected the first office
building of the Townsite company 40
years ago, the building now being
the resident of E. Stetzefandt, across
the alley north of the rear of the
Bach-Cory block on First street north
between Central and First avenue
north. At that time there were but
about four buildings in the city, all
shacks, and one livery stable.
Mrs. Jones came to Fort Benton
on the steamer Helena of the Block
P line, belonging to the late T. G.
Power and associates.

riously wounded men carried or
these conveyances all stated that
they found this mode of transport
easy and comfortable.
| The travels was used to trans
port some of the wounded from the
battle with Indians on Rosebud
creek, Montana, June II, 1876,
when the big Horn and Yellow
stone Expedition" commanded by
General George Crook, was attack
ed by force of about | 500 Sioux,
Crooks force consisting of about
1850 men, of whom ESQ were
friendly Crow and Creek Indians.
In this affair the troops lost nine
killed and 19 wounded.
In his report on the care of the
wounded from this battle, Assist
ant Surgeon A. Hartsuff wrote:
y y Having no base, and be-
ing thus entirely surrounded, and
the position of all the troops con-
stantly changing, it was necessary
that the medical officers of the
command should be very active and
|vigi1ant to prevent any of our
wounded falling into the hands of
the enemy. The wounded were all
collected together and their wounds
hastily and rudely dressed, neither
time nor circumstances allowing us
to give them the necessary care and
attention.
Frequently during the fight we
had to move the wounded to safer
positions. Not a drop of water
could be obtained during the day,
for we were on the hills and the
nearest water, Rosebud, a miser-
able little stream, two miles away.
AT about ] p. m, the firing had
nearly all ceased, the Indians hav-
ing retreated down the Rosebud. 1t
was about half past six o'clock
when the command reached the
Rosebud river. Owing to the great
heat of the day, no shelter, and no
water, and a very considerable loss
Of blood many of the wounded |
we're much exhausted. The order
was to return to the wagon train,
and to march early in the morning.

IF the night, one horse-litter and

f them and made litters in their
tead.

One Reason
for Nervous
Disorders

VOUR doctor can tell you that
i nervous disorders are very com
mon among Americans. One reason
for this is found in the fact that they
are great coffee drinkers.
Coffee contains caffeine, drug,
prescribed by doctors as an emergency
stimulant for the heart and nervous
system. 1t has tendency to increase
blood pressure, develop heart irreg-
ularities and cause digestive dis
turbances.
If you feel that coffee is not good
for you, serve Postum as your meal
time drink.
Postum is pure cereal beverage
that refreshes and satisfies. It is alb
solutely free from caffeine or any
other irritating drug.
Try cup of Postum with your
dinner or supper tonight. Postum is
sold everywhere.
