The traditions of the old Finlen,
which was RACED to permit of the
building Of this new hotel, dates
back to the territorial days of
Montana. 1t was built by William
McDermott,, one of the lieutenants
of Senator William A. Clark when
the feud between Clark and DAILY
divided Butte into two hostile
camps. One of its old time man
ayers was A. Fred Way, a boni-
face known all over the west. Way
was followed by several managers
with indifferent success, and final
ly McDermott sold the hotel to
Miles Finlen. The place did not
come into its own, however, until
Miles Finlen passed to his final re-
ward. Then James Finlen, the son,
took over the hosiery and for a
number of years managed it on his
own account. Finlen's personality
dominated the place and it quick
ly became one of the most popular
hotels in the west.

success of the Placer hotel in Hell

1000 PEOPLE ATTEND
OPENING NEW BUTTE HOTEL

sleep of Miles Finlen, one
of the makers of Montana and
dead these meany years, must
have been sweetened a few days
ago when Butte's magnificent new
hotel, dedicated to the memory and
named in honor of that doughty
old lieutenant of Marcus DAILY, was
opened. The new hotel is a gem,
one of the outstanding structures
of its kind in the northwest, and
in it the creative ability Of George
Stanley, master architect, finds an
eloquent medium of expression.

portion of the sum required. They
made a canvass of a small group
and raised the money in a day. The
money assured construction COM
menced almost Immediately.
The hotel cost approximately
$4,000, an. its furnishings $780,
900 additional. It's formal opening
was attended by upwards Of 1000
people, many travelling from dis
tant parts of the state to do honor
to builders, and it was a function
that will not soon be forgotten.

palgn against the warning Sioux
in 1876, of which the Custer
massacre was one of the disastrous
results, General Crook, with a body
of troops from Fort Fetterman
Wyo., encountered a largt party OF
Indians about a week prior to the
Custer battle, at a point in southern
Montana not far distant from the
place where Custer fell, which re-
suited in an all-day fight and dan
gerously near to an ending similar
to that of the Custer force.
The battle was fought on the up
per reaches of Rosebudc reek, June
IL, 1876, some of the accounts max
ing it appear to have been a victory
for Crook while others showed it
to have been a costly defeat.
The Indian bureau had found it
necessary to compel the northern
non-treaty Sioux to cease maraud-
ing and to settle down at some des-
ignated point, and notice was sent
to these Indians that they must
come to their reservations by Jan
uary 81, 1876, or a military force
would be sent against them. Hav-
ing failed to observe the order,
General w. T. Sherman, general
of the army, instructed General
Crook to reduce the Indians to sub
lection. An expedition was start
ed from Fort Fetterman, March /,
but it was not conclusive.
Therefore, General Sheridan de-
termined to proceed more system
atically by %concentric movements,
similar to those which in 1915
had proved so successful in the
south against the Comanches, XII
owas and Cheyennes. He ordered
three distinct columns to be prepar-
ed to move to a common center,
where the hostiles were supposed
to be, from Montana, from Dakota
and from the Platte. The two
former fell under the command of
the department commander, Gen
eral Terry, and the latter under
General Crook. These movements
were to be simultaneous, so that
Indians avoiding one column might
be encountered by another.
In his report to the secretary of
war, November 10, 1876, General
Sherman told of the Crook expedi-
ton as follows:
General Crook started from
Fort Fetterman on May % with
two battalions of the Second and
Third cavalry, under 1t. Col. w. B..
Royal, Third cavalry, and a bat
talon of five companies of the
Fourth and Ninth infantry, under
Major Alex Chambers, of the
Fourth infantry, with a train of
wagons, p%ack-mules and Indian
scouts, all amounting to AZ officers
and LOOP men present for duty.
The expedition marched by the
same route as the preceding one,
to a point on Goose creek, which
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1924-02-21

IS the head of Tongue river, a trib-
utary of the Yellowstone.
Here General Crook parked his
trains, mounted his infantry on
mules, and, on June 10th, started
on a scout to the head of the Rose
bud, also a tributary of the Yellow
stone. In descending the Rosebud
early in the day of June II he en-
countered a large force of warriors
perfectly prepared for battle. He
was aiming for their village, sup
posed to be about eight miles down
the Rosebud, but these Indians had
not awaited the attack on their vii
lage, but had come out boldly and
had attacked General Crooks COM
mand. The fight was on both
banks of the Rosebud, and lasted
into the night, when the Indians
Withdrew, leaving Is dead warriors.
General Crooks loss was nine
dead and Fl wounded. The ground
where this fight took place was
rough, so covered with rocks, trees
and bushes that it was impossible
to estimate approximately the force
of the enemy; but General Crook
was satisfied that the numbers and
quality of his enemy required more
men than he had, and, being al
ready encountered with wounded,
he concluded to return to his train
on Goose creek, which he reached
on the 10Th, and sent back for re-
enforcement"
In a supplementary report of
November rs, 1876, General Sher-
idan wrote:
From this camp Goose creek)
he moved out toward the headwa-
tiers of the Rosebud, on the morn
ing of the 18th of June, and on the
18th his scouts discovered the Ind
ians in large numbers about 40
miles north of Goose creek. A few
minutes after this information was
received, the command was attack
ed with considerable desperation.
The Indians displayed strong force
at all points and contested the
ground with a tenacity which prov
I'd they were fighting for time to
get their village away.
"The command finally drove
them off, with a loss of IS Indians
left on the field, and on our
side nine men killed, one officer
and q men wounded. The victory
was barren of results, however, as
On account of his wounded and lack
IF rations for his troops, General
Crook was unable to pursue the en-
envy. The newt day he returned to
lis supply camp on Goose creek
Ind awaited re-enforcements and
supplies, considering himself too
weak to make any movement until
troops reached him."
From this report it would appear
hat Crooks whole command was
.ngaged in this battle, but news
'aper accounts of the affair pub
ished soon after make it appear

vice in protective ladders.
Useful Lamps
There is new portable hand
light which throws its rays
through so feet of smoke, thus en-
abling one to find persons that may
have been overcome attempting to
escape. The lamp is of aluminup
and weighs but 80 ounces. There
are also other smaller lights that
are wonderfully helpful in smoky
places.
In garage. stable or outbuilding

In taking the "ounee of preven-
tom idea in safety first matters
see to it that all matches are put
away from children ant mice, all
greasy and waxed floor cloths kept
in a galvanized bucket outdoors,
as spontaneous combustion may
often cause fire. Have ehimneys
swept and examined at least once,
a year. Pipes should be taken
down during the summer, being re-.
placed after chimney sweeping IN
the fall.
ElecalLe wires Should ibe amost
carefully protected, for they are
often the apparently innocent
causes Of fire! All cpen fires should
have wire screens to set up before
them DAYS and nights when the
rooms are to be vacated while
the fire is burning. A swapping
coal or wood spark does quick
damage at times.
All garbage and trash should be
burned in q trash burner or mod
ern- ineinerator, never in the kitch-
en- range, as its inflammable
greases are apt 10 set the chimney
afire if there is the least chance
to do so. Many families have
regular fire drill with their serv-
ants, at least once a month an5

SUGGESTIONS THAT
ARE USEFUL FOR
ALL HOME MAKERS

Ii may be considered good taste
to half fill water glasses, coffee
cups, etc, but it certainly is an
moving to the thirsty person or one
genuinely fond of coffee.
White of egg should be added
to the menu of the invalid when.
ever possible, as it is most nourish-
ing. 1t can be beaten slightly and
added to any farinaceous food just
before serving without the patient
knowing anything about it.
Cards are so expensive these days
that the modern hostess resorts to
cleaning them occasionally instead
of continually buying new decks.
She places them on paper and
sprinkles them with talcum pow
der. Then she rubs them wiSa a
clean, dry, soft cloth. The result
is surprising.
Start saving any stout brown
paper bags that are brought into
the house. They are almost a ne
eessity in the late ~-;mmer when
bulbs have to be put away The
bulbs can be placed inside, a label
pasted on the outside with their
names thereon, andb the bags
hung in the cellar until the follow
