were hunting for peltries near the
Little Rocky mountains, they had
all their horses stolen from them
| by a party of IA Blood Indians
early on the night of the 18th of
the same month, leaving them on
foot 200 miles from any settlement
in the dead of winter. The snow
was IS inches deep and the trail Of
the Indians easily followed. The
theft was discovered about 9
O'Clock the same night, and nine of
the whites followed in pursuit of
the Indians, overlook them at day
light the next morning, fired upon
them, killing two and wounding a
third the rest of the Indians fled,
leaving the stolen horses behind,
which the whites secured and re-
turned to their camp.
This was the first difficulty
that occurred, and this was sup
posed to have been forgotten, til
spring opened, when the Indians
showed evident signs of resent
ment, both in threatening words
and in stealing and pilfering. On
the night of April q the Blood In
dians stole 40 head of horses from
various persons then at this place.
This act exasperated a certain por-
ton of the whites to such a pitch,
that on the night of May u, while
under the influence of liquor, they
attacked party of Blood Indians
that happened to be here, killing
three of them and driving the rest
away, stating at the time that they

place. On the 18th of August z
lparty of some 20 Piegans were met
by party of 80 Crows on the
Marias river, some II miles from
this place; fight ensued in which
each party lost four killed; the
Piegans, however, driving away
the Crows, and remaining masters
of the field. Both of these par
ties we're guarding trains for the
whites-one from, and the other
to Fort Benton.
Con the 23rd Of the same month
a train Of Is wagons and Il men,
while travelling to the mouth of the
Milk river for freight LANDED
there by steamers) were attacked
by a large party of Assinniboines
and one man killed and one wound
ed with an arrow; how many of
the Indians were killed cannot be
ascertained, as they were carried
away with them as fast as they fell.
The Indians were driven away by
the whites, and the train turned
back, but met other trains bound
for the same destination, and re-
turned with them and secured their
freight. This happened near the
Big Bend of Milk river, about $50
miles from this place.
Asks for Military Posts
Il have now given full state
ment of such and all the depreda-
tions committed by Indians within
this agency. Enough has been
shown, trust, to satisfy the de-
partment that my previous recon-
to establish military
posts at this place, and at or near
the mouth of the Muscle Shell
river, was directed by sound judg-
ment and prudence, and with an
eye to the protection of the prop
erty and citizens of this territory.
Had. these posts been established !
as I recommended nearly two years
ago, these unfortunate men would
have been living witnesses instead
Of dead ones to testify to the ne
,essity of this recommendation. |

on the Marias river, they were at
tackled by large party of Blood
Indians, and the whole party bru-
tally murdered. 1t is difficult to
get the facts in this case, as nc
white man survived to tell the sad
and brutal story. The Indians
claim the whites fired on them first
and they returned the fire. Some
of the whites claim that the act was
in retaliation for the murder of the
three Indians on the 22nd, while
others contend that the Indians
we're entirely ignorant of this af-
fair, as only four days had elapsed
since the murder of the three In
dams at this place and the mas
sacre on the Marias.
"The Indians of this agency
have been seriously afflicted with
sickness and death, from measles,
the past winter. The Piegans have
lost $50; the Gros Ventres, 100;
and the Bloods and Blackfeet
tribes report the loss of 1900. Pro
baby this number is exaggerated,
but there is no doubt they have lost
something approximating towards
this number. 1t is customary with
these Indians, when the headman
of a lodge dies, to bury him in it,
and leave it standing when the
camp moves. When the Blood
camp moved this spring, so lodges
were left standing (one-sixth OF
the whole tribe) in memory of sol
of their leading men.
Thought Whites Used Poison
"This was sad affliction to the
Indians; they could not account for
the anger of the "Great Spirit,
and looked about for cause for
their Affections, and finally settled
it among themselves that the
whites were the cause of all their

TN the early sixties when Mon
tana, or what was later to be-
come the Territory of Montana,
was experiencing its first influx OF
population, settlers, miners and
freighters were greatly harassed
by marauding Indians, who fire.
quently killed their members, stole
their livestock and burned their
buildings.
At that time there was not a
military post in the territory, al
though number of trading points
were dignified by the appellation
of fort. Efforts were being made
by the Indian agents to induce the
government to send soldiers to
Montana to awe or subdue the In
dianns but it was not until in July,
1866, that an army post was estab-
lished at Fort Buford, on the Mis-
souri, river just outside the Mon
tana line and about one and half
miles below old Fort Union.
The first permanent military
camp in the territory, Camp Cook,
on the south bank of the Missouri
river at the mouth of the Judith
river, was garrisoned in the fall of
1866 by the First battalion of the
18th Infantry.
Fort Shaw, on the Sun river
west of the present city of Great
Falls, was established on June 80,
1867, being first known as Camp
Reynolds.
The next army post to be Great
ed was Fort Ellis, 10 miles from
Bozeman, which was established
August 81, 1867, and it was not un-
til May 9, 1879, that the next per-
manent army post was established
at Fort Assinniboine, near the
present city of Havre.
Fort Benton never was an army
post. 1t was established as trad
ing post and did not become the
property of the government until
in October, 1869, when it was pur-
chased by the U. S. commissariat
general for use as supply sta
ton for the northern military
posts.
An indication of the Indian sit
uation in northern Montana and
the need for the establishment of
army posts at that time is wildly
told in the report to the commits
sioner of Indian affairs, by Cad E.
Upson, agent at the Blackfeet
agency, then located at Fort Ben
ton, under date of October 2, 1865.

A Gruesome Report
"The rapid settlement of this
territory, and the great number of
whites passing over the Indian
country, to and from the mines,
and settling up the rich valleys,
building up large and flourishing {
towns in close proximity to the In ,
dams, has had a tendency to create
in their ignorant minds jealousy t
and prejudice against the whites, t
in several instances to 1
open hostilities and resulting in Z
bloodshed to both parties. t

famous whisky traders have man
aged thus far to escape the clutches
of the law. | hope the coming win
ter will open up new era in the
prevention of this accursed BUSH
mess.
"The moral condition of the In
dams in this country is truly la
mentable. Not one spark of civili-
cation appears to have dawned up
on their ignorant minds, and their
capacity for improvement, if they
ever had any, seems to have risen
and set in total darkness. They APP
pear not to have benefited one iota
from their intercourse with the
whites, but rather to have initiated
their vices, instead of their virtues.
War with each other, and disease,
are fast taking them away to their
spirit home, and unless a change
for the better appears soon to inn
prove their moral condition, but
a few years will elapse before all
but a remnant of what they once
were will have passed to their last
hunting lands, to return no more
forever.
"The efforts thus far to improve
the moral condition of these In
dams has proved total failure;
but perseverance has accomplished
great things, and overcome almost
insurmountable obstacles. Let us
hope that success will yet crown
our efforts to ameliorate the con-
dition of these unfortunate and de-
graded savages, and place them
and their children on a road to a
better, brighter and more glor-
ious future.
Predicted Montana's Growth
"The rapid increase of popula-
tion in this territory, the new and
rich placer and lode discoveries,
the extensive and fast developing
business, the immense mineral
wealth, and the rapid development
of the country, demand the foster
ing and protecting arm of the gov
eminent.
"The Missouri river is the great
transporting thoroughfare for this
immense trade; in fact, it is the
great artery or channel of water
to the very heart
of the territory. During the past
year millions in gold dust have
passed over its waters safely to its
point of destination, and over 4 900
tons of freight have been landed
On its banks above Fort Union; as
write hundreds are receiving en-
oloyment in transporting these
goods to their destination in this
territory. Over $50 wagons are
now between this place and Fort
Union engaged in this transporta-
ion. If this trade and this terri
DRY receive from the general gov
.rnment the protection and encour-
lgement their importance and geo.

out few years will elapse before
another rich and powerful state,
