Captain Shaw of his state as Colonel
and the post of Lieutenant-Colonel
was given to Captain Hallowell, also
of Massachusetts,. Both men ac-
copied
They we're on duty in the south
at the time and Captain Halloween
was the first to start north to help
organize the new regiment. He stop
ped en- route to Boston to visit re-
latives at Philadelphia for a few
days and while there he recruited a
number OF colored men for the new
Massachusetts regiment.
Alexander Branson was the first
man to sign up with Hallowell, and
as no recruiting had yet been started
in Boston, he was in fact, the first
recruit of the Fifty-Fourth Massa-
chusettes. So great was the senti-
ment against allowing colored men
to take up arms that Captain Halo
well was compelled to slip his col
ored recruits out of Philadelphia by
stealth, in small squads, and Bran
son was in the first squad to be sent
to Boston. He served until April,
1866.

Alex. Branson came to Montana in
1872 and lived for some time in Hell

Judith Basin, before there was such
town as Lewistown, and engaged
In stock raising. When the town be-

town and started barber shop and

UdtiiiiS OOIlic O1 them were SICK |
and were carried to the water by
companions. DR.. Hunter instinct
lively realized the value of the
springs and felt that he had dis
covered gold mine of new char
acter. He staked out a claim to
the land surrounding the springs
and then proceeded on his way up
the Yellowstone arriving in the
then infant town of Bozeman, on
the fourth day of August, 1864.
The Hunter party later went to
Virginia City ard later to Helena,
where for three weeks they had
nothing but meat to eat and the
children cried for bread which
could not be furnished because of
the scracity of flour. From 1865
to 1866 the Hunters resided at Dir
almond City in Confederate gulch.
Finally DIR. Hunter returned to
Bozeman, and in the spring of
1870 built his first house at the
hot springs, on site just opposite
the present hotel, and this was one
of the first houses to be built in
the Yellowstone valley. He built
a dam between the cold creek and
the hot creek and in the big pool
both whites and Indians bathed for
years. Three years later, with
lumber that cost $50 per thousand,
and 500 for hauling, he built more
pretentious lighthouses.
The only Indians who frequent
ed the baths were Grows, who in
habited that part of the country,
and who were friendly to the
whites. They did not resent the
encroachments of the whites, the
only thing they protested being
the tilling of the soil, which, they
said, would cause the rains to
come and spoil the hunting sea
sons.
i For years DR.. Hunter and his
family spent only their win
tiers at the springs, being compell-
ed to return to Bezeman after the
spring crops were put in for II
May the Crows went out on their
hunting trips and they were fol
lowed by the muderous Sioux ane
Blackfeet. DIR. Hunter and hi:
family were several times attack
ed by these tribes.
''In those days never put OF
! my dress without strapping a bel

rUUNTER'S Hot Springs, To-
RI Gated in the yellowstone
4 valley, near Springdale, y
miles east Of Livingston, which for
many years has been a fayorite
health and pleasure resort for the
people Of Montana, was equally
popular among the Indians IN the
DAYS prior to the encroachments OF
the whites.
The springs were discovered by
DR.. Andrew Jackson Hunter, who
came to Montana during the troub.
lesome days following the Civil
war, and were later developed by
him into a sanitarium for the treat
ment of bodily Affections.
DIR. Hunter had been a citizen OF
Galloway county, Missouri and
had been possessed of lands and
slaves before the war, but the close
of that conflict left him in finan-
cial straits. He had heard of the
opportunities presented in the Cal
ifornia gold fields, and, being
backed up by noble and cour-
ageous wife, he started out II
April, 1864, with his. wife and
three children, the youngest
babe in the mothers arms, for tht
extreme west.

one week beginning Monday night.

There are few forms Of entertain

gathered from the farthest corners of
the world the interesting, entertain
ing and mystifying ideas for the new
program he offers this season.
Nowadays the prestidigitator must
be more than the term once implied.
He must do big things and present
an entertainment that possesses the
the glamour of mystery, the fascina-
ton of the ancient orders Of Hindu
