The Proposes May BE
Kissed This Year by
Politicians Momtana's
Indians Have Vote

Under the new federal law, APP
proximately 5000 Indians on var
ious reservations in Montana have
been given the right to vote. The
Indians were permitted to cast
their ballots at the recent primary
election.
Doubtless, this new law will turn
the campaigners for the fall elections
toward the reservations in the hope
of swinging the red men in a body,
with a view to thus understanding
their opponent. Whether any of the
candidates will succeed is a question,
but in the coming general election
candidates will have a wonderful OPP
portunity to practice on the science
of political campaigning. If they
have forgotten how to kiss the ba-
bies, they may try out on the pap
pose and get in form.
A sample of the names of voters
on one Montana reservation has been
received at Helena, and among 9TH
ers are the following names:

George L. Duckhead, Joseph Iron

I and two more started out from
Deer Lodge in the wagon. At the top
of the hill we found the place where
the horses had acted up and after a
long search we finally found the cof-
fin down in the creek bed where it
rolled. And there was poor Micky
standin' on his head. We had an
awful time gettin' the water out of
the coffin, but we brought the body
up reverently to Deer Lodge and we
buried it with proper ceremonies.
And that's all there is to my story. 1t

Wild West Stuff Gets
Montana Youth Into
Ha nds of The Law

A recent news dispatch from the
town of Worland, Wyoming, gives
an account of the spectacular car
reer of Vernon Black, of Montana.
Taking two guns, a rope, a pair of
boots, a winters supply of ammun-
ition and a copy of the Western
Story magazine, Vernon Black, a
Montana boy who has been working
with a haying crew near Worland,
started on a career of adventure,
says the report.
Before he had been gone long, his
thefts had been discovered and the
authorities were busy with the wires.
Some hours later Lee Doherty of the
No Wood store was talking over the
phone with the proprietor of the Ly-
site store and told of the fugitive, and
the Lysite store owner remarked that
the young man was in his place of
business at that very minute. After
receiving the proper authority, the
storekeeper placed the youth I'M
der arrest and held him until the ar
rival of a deputy sheriff from Sho-
shone. From Lysite he was taken to
the Shoshone Jail, from whence he
was taken to Worland.
At Shoshone Black came near eff
his escape. BY use of sticks
and a wire he managed to pull his
suitcase from a bench in the Jail lob
by to his cell door, tore it open and
one of the guns and 100 or
more rounds of ammunition. When
sheriff brought his lunch he was
ready for action, but made a fatal
mistake when he cooked the gun

into an adjoining cell for safety.

NEAR the mouth of Bear creek
we found a man who had his rip-saw
set up in the woods. Some of us
stayed there to saw enough lumber
to make a coffin for poor Micky,
while some of US went into the Bitter
Root to Baron O'Keefe to borrow an
old democrat wagon and harness.
We had quite a time breaking the
cayuses into harness, which wasn't

leather.
"Well, we put the corpse in the
coffin and placed it in the wagon in
the back. Next morning when we
got ready to pull out for Deer Lodge
we had another circus gettin' the
horses started, but after breakfast
the procession started, those on horse
back going ahead. 1t was quite a
procession. We travelled until we
got to Gold Creek. At Pioneer bar
there was some ground sluice and
we found there was a saloon.

"As it was late in the afternoon
some of the boys went in and had a
drink. And then pretty soon they
went in and had another drink. Then
we concluded hat as poor Micky had
never had a wake we would bring
him in and hold a real Irish wake.
We got some candles and brought
the coffin in and set it on two beer
kegs. We took off the lid and light

Micky a layin' in there. We had
some real good singin' and drinkin'
all night. TIL boys all got pretty
tired and SO we made our beds on the
floor around the coffin.
SIN the morning as we had to go
