remains the same. He swears that
he saw a wild man." His persist
ence started them thinking. Old
timers present end those in Missoula
thought the matter over. They are
are able to remember only Frank
Kubey, an old trapper, we'll educated,
able to converse in two or three Ian
guages, a botanist.
Loved Married Woman.
During the summer of 1911 Kubey
was staying at the Lolo Hot Springs.
During that time ne is declared to
have fallen in love with a married
woman who would pay no attention
to him.
When fall came he departed for
thewilds of the least ~frequented Sec
ton of the northwest. Before going,
however, he declared his intention of
returning June 6, of the next spring.
He gave orders for the disposition of
his horse and other property, and it
is said, had a premonition something
was going to happen to him. He is
said to have remarked: 81 am going
way back"
Spring came, but Kubey did not
appear. Then two trappers, both of
whom are living in Missoula today,
started out to look for him. They
found his cabin. They found his
diary in which he made an entry of
June 6, 1912, stating that he was
starting out for civilization. There
also were a couple of bear hides in
the cabin.
But One Other Trace.
The only other trace seen of Kubey
was where he had cut down a tree
to be a foot log over the Storm
creek, which was at flood stage.
But there was no evidence of his ev-
er having crossed it. It had not fall
have crossed over easily. The ex-I
PLANTATION is that he did not want to
leave his dog, which could not have
made the crossing. The size of the
man whom the cook declares he saw
compares with Kubey's stature.
The section in which Kubey was
lost is one of the most inaccessible
regions imaginable, according to
men who are familiar with that sec
ton of the country. Being a game
preserve, it is also left alone by all
hunters and trappers.
Now the question is did h cook
see the wild MANI" Men at the
camp believe that he did. His repu-
tation for ~veracity is reported to be
lace high" Trappers also say that
if any person could live here and get
his livelihood from the man, Kubey
is the man. The theory has been adj
vanced that the trapper might have
become demented and has no desire
to come out-that by now he might
have the instincts Of a beast-as wild
as the widest game animal The
theory is that if such a thing exists,
he has been living off the wild ber-
ries and what small game he could
catch and kill by crude methods.
At any rate, there is talk of get
ting together searching parties to
explore every cave and c~revice, as
soon as work let's up in the fall, and
the first snow falls, so that they can
get the mans tracks.

except the leader of the gang has
been arrested SO far, and he is being
held by the sheriff for fear that he
would leave the city if he were re-
leased.

Ship $4,000 worth of Furs

Mr.. and Mrs. ]. F. Wikidal Of Dill
Ion recently left for the Pacific
coast cities where they will place on
the market $4,000 worth of fine
furs. For the past few years, Mr..
Wikidal has been engaged in the pur-
chasing of furs and he has assem-
bIed a fine and unusual variety of
native Beaverhead furs including
ermine, sable, mink, beaver, Hudson
seal, lynx, coyote, wolf, otter, and
other fur-bearing animals. All of
the skins have been tanned and pre-
pared to go into garments.

* ONE of them are hale and hearty
- carrying fourscore of years more
~ jauntily than many city men,
with their soft living, supporting
half that number of years. Others
are feeble, slow-spoken, sometimes
deaf and wit badly failing sight,
but every one of them packs a story
with a punch, if one has the time
and opportunity to probe for it, and
provided, too that the old-timer has
the inclination to talk.
"All is Vanity is apparently the
conclusion of mor than ont of these
old state builders who assembled in
convention in Butte recently, mem
bers of the Montana Society of Pi-
oneers. They quite often courte-
ous1y dismiss the interviewer, with
the dry remark, 81 came here and /
stayed here, and that's all there is
about it. No use in trying to get a
story from me-"
Caught off their guard, though,
it speedily develops that most of
them are linked up in some more or
less important way with the history
of the West.
There is old Richard w. Clark of
Oregon City, Oregon, who came to
Montana especially to attend the con-
vention at Butte, "a years old and
hale and hearty. Clark had mo
story to give the interviewer, but it
was his testimony and that of David
Louderback that fixed on Colonel
Chivington of Colorado, responsible
ity for killing Indian women and
children at the battle of Sand Creek,
an incident in the history of Color
ado, for which Denver people still
blush.
In the Big Kitchens.
Clark came from Pennsylvania.
From 1852 to 1865 he cooked with
a butcher knife, a tin cup, a coffee
pot and a frying pan in the big kit
chens of Colorado and Utah." which
is frontier for camping and cooking
in the open.
He became an Indian trader and
was at the Arapahoe camp on Sand
creek, where about 500 Indians of
whom two-thirds were women and
children were encamped. Col. J. w.
Chivington and a company of 1000
men swooped down on the camp.
Indian women and children were
killed and mutilated. There was a
federal Investigation.
