LIFE OF BANNAGK; METHOD
OF DOING BUSINESS; SOME MERCANTILE
HOUSES; PRICES OF NECESSITIES OF LIFE

the Flat was used as a primitive
tourist camp, and it was there our
oxen were unyoked for the las
time, on our arrival at Bannack il
the middle of September, 1868
The log cabins at the upper end o.
the Flat extended in a line forming
a right angle. Colonel Sander:
lived in the second house from the
corner. Next to him was the home
of Mr.. Zoller, and in the adjacent
corner lived the Walls, with whom
Henry Plummer boarded. There
were other homes in town, ours be-
ing close to the bridge of logs that
spanned the Grasshopper, but they
were generally farther apart.
At the upper end of Main street
was the stable and corral where
Plummer kept his horse. Opposite
our house lived George French,
who kept a cabinet and carpenter
shop. 1t was he who served as I'M
dertaker for Plummer, Ned Ray,
and Buck Stinson, after their IKE
cution. Mr.. French also owned a
brewery, where the Cornishmen
gathered on Saturday nights.
Some of these had fine voices, and
often Our door stood ajar to hear
the singing.
| do not recall all of the places
of business. There was the ex-
press office of A. ]. Oliver & Co.,
a butcher shop, and the general
merchandise store of Swift &
Thompson. The remainder of the
street was given over mainly to
saloons and dance halls. While
respectable women were treated
with the utmost consideration by
all sober men, there was too much
drinking for women to care to be
on the street unaccompanied. In
my one visit to Swift & Thomp-
sons store, l narrowly escaped
witnessing a fight between Plum
mer and another man. Both had
their revolvers, when Mr..
Thompson stepped between them
and persuaded Henry" to finish
dispute elsewhere.

TO HAVE CALLED the little
mining town of Bannack a city
was a misnomer, as it is doubt
full whether it numbered a thou
sand inhabitants in 1864, when it
became the capital of the newly
formed territory of Montana. It
was appropriately named for the
Bannack Indians, who claimed the
land where it was situated, and
much beside north of the Snake
river.
The Bannacks are of Shoshone
stock, and closely related to the
Aztecs. Once a powerful tribe,
they had come into conflict with
our government, and in a battle
with our troops suffered a severe
defeat a short time before the dis
covery of gold on the Grasshopper,
which was the towns reason of
being. The gold drew the miners
there, and the defeat of the Ban
nacks made it possible for the gold
seekers to remain undisturbed by
fear of an attack by these Indians,
who were literally in a chastened
mood.
Situated at the upper entrance
into the Grasshopper canyon, the
business houses of Bannack bord-
cred its main street, which must
have been earlier a trail through
the canyon. If there were other
streets they could have been but
short ones. On the opposite side
of the Grasshopper, the canyon
walls receded, forming a semi
circle embracing that portion of
the town known as Yankee Flat.
Along the side of the hills enclos-
ing Yankee Flat, ran one or two
fumes carrying water to be used
in washing out gold. At night
these fumes were opened, and
from the mountain at the lower end
of the Flat came the pleasant sound
of a miniature waterfall.
On the side of the mountain
some dugouts furnished shelter to
miners who chose to live in this
hermit fashion. The lower end of

KING OF BUFFALO
in YELLOWSTONE
HE is CALLED "OLD TUSKAGEE"
AND HE is THE DEMPSEY
OF HIS DOMAIN
Charged and Wrecked a Six-in-Hand
Coach Full of School Teachers;
Killed Fighting Bull Elk; Always
Ready to Give Battle.

1.-THE bears Of Yellowstone park
are famous for. their courteous treat
ment of tourists. But old Tuskagee
is not a bear but a bison; he has no
high standard of %politeness to up
hold" say the Youths Companion.
HE is the monarch of the herd and
$50 we learn from Lewis r. Free
man in Down the Yellowstone'-is
reputed to be the largest American
bison alive. When he is impolite he
is exceedingly poor company.
1.-THE old fellow, says Mr.. Free
man, is estimated to weigh more than
5000 pounds, is covered with a net
work of scars from fighting and has
only n eye and the remnant of a
tail. He has been seen to give battle
to three pugnacious bull elks at once
and has killed numbers of them in
single combat.
A few summers ago he left the
herd and charged a coach full of
tourists. The vehicle was nearly
overturned by the plunging horses,
one of which was gored so badly that
it had to be shot, and the occupants,
a party of New England school teach
ers, were driven into frenzies of ter
ror. Neither the bullets from a nick
el-plated revolver in the hands of
one of them nor the long singing
whip of the driver, nor eve his
singing language, affected Tuskegee
in the least. He continued battling
about among the frightened horses
as if wrecking a si%x-in-hand coach
were a part of his daily routine. At
last, however, the shrieks of the wo-
men seemed to be too much for the
old fellow, and, wheeling about, he
g%alloped, believing, over the hill.
For two years the big herd grad
ually dropped to pieces and wander
ed about in leaderless fashion. Then
one day a big bull elk was found
crushed and trampled into the mud
of Violet Springs, and the scouts told
one another that the king had re-
turned. A few days later a soldier
of the game patrol saw the reunited
herd debouch from a canyon with
old Tuskegee putting proudly in the
lead. His tail was stubbier than
the grizzled red hair was more
patchy on the rump and more matted
the neck, and a new set of scars
was crisscrossed and etched into the
old set on his flanks. The former
fighting spirit still famed, and the
trooper owed his life to the fact that
the snow on the slope was deep, the
crust was firm and the skis were
we'll waxed.
"a new superintendent was, in
and his satisfaction at seeing
the scattered herd once more united
was so great that he stayed the order
of execution. Since that time,
strangely enough, Tuskegee has APP
peared to show his appreciation of
the official clemency by behaving in
a most exemplary manner"

on their way westward, and that on
their return from the Pacific they
camped with these Indians from May
IA to June 10, 1906. Langford ac-
cordingly confined Clark's possible
association with the mother of Til
Kai-Tzae to either one or both those
short periods.
According to Governor Dixon, only
one person, to his knowledge, has
ever combatted the idea that Tzi-Kai-
Tzae, was a son of Captain William
Clark. This was Mr.. Elliott of Walla
Walla, a learned man who had made
deep research into the affairs of the
Nez Perces Indians, who Gained that
this Indian must have been the son
of another Clark, who visited this
part of the country, al a date not a
great period after the Lewis and
Clark expedition.

and central Montana, including the
battle of the Big Hole, and was cap
tured by General Miles along with
Chief Joseph in the battle of the
Bear Paw mountains in the fall of
1877.
Along with Joseph and others of
the tribe he was taken a captive to
the Indian territory, where he died
in 1878 or 1879, in his 72nd or 73rd
year.
The exact date of the birth Of
Tzi-Kai-Tzae cannot be definitely
fixed although it is claimed he was
born in the LoLo valley near the
Idaho line, in the western part of
what is now Ravalli county, in March
1907.
One story, which cannot be sub
stantiated and which, in view of the
fact that no mention of it has ever
appeared in any of the records of the

Lewis and Clark expedition, has it
that the wedding of Clark to the In
dian woman occurred on the banks
of the LoLo; that the ceremony was
observed with all the pomp that char
acterized Indian life in those days;
that the woman accompanied him to
the Pacific coast and when he re-
turned east she stopped with her
tribe in the Bitter Root and there
her son was born.
N. P. Langford, the Montana pio-
neer and historian, who obtained the
only known photograph of Tzi-Kai-
Tzae, which he presented to the Mon
tana, Historical Society in 1893, wrote
that Clark's son was born about
June, 1906, or March, 1907, basing
this presumption upon the fact that
Lewis and Clark camped a few days
only with the Nez Perces tribes the
part of September, 1906, while

EXPLOSION BLOWS
N OUT OF HOUSE
GASOLINE POURED ON FIRE;
MAN MAY DIE; WOMAN
SEVERELY BURNED
Mistook Gasoline Can For Fuel Oil
Can With Disastrous Results;
Timely Aid Saves Woman's Life.

Claude j. Skies, driller at the
Hailstone-Keenan well near Rap
ellie, has hardly a chance for re-
covery from burns received in an
explosion recently, hospital autho-
rites believe. Three persons were
injured when a stove exploded
after Skies attempted to hasten a
cooking fire with what he believed
was fuel oil. The can, however,
contained gasoline.
An assistant tool dresser, whose
name has not been learned, probably
saved the life of Mrs. Perry Garrit-
son, cook and wife of head driller,
when he dashed through the flaming
house in response to her cries for
aid, wrapping her in bed clothes,
brought her back through the fire
and rolled her in the snow.
Skies vas coming off shift at mid
night, and entering the cook-house,
in an adjoining room of which Mrs.
Garrison was sleeping, he attempt
ed to hasten a fire in order to warm
his midnight lunch. A small can of
fuel oil and a large can of gasoline
were near the stove. Picking up
what he believed to be the fuel oil,
he splashed it into the stove on the
hot Goals.
Dashes Gasoline on Goals
IN reality he picked up the gaso-
line cam and, when the gas in the
stove ignited it also ignited the gaso-
line in the can, and the can was
blown backward into Skyles, who was
forced through the door by the blast.
The tool dresser was seated outside
the door, and his hand was severely
burned. The stove had been blown
partly through the wall into the room
where Mrs. Garrison was sleeping,
and all the paper on the wall of her
room was ignited by the gas.
Whole Place Flames
The small house Immediately
famed up, and the tool dresser heard
Mrs. Garrison making outcries in
her apartment. He rushed around
to the back, thinking to get through
the window, but was forced back by
the flaming walls. Making his way
once ore to the front door, he rush
ed through the flames and brought
Mrs. Garrison out. He was not Sc
riously injured.
Sky1es' hands, face, chest and the
lnSlueB Oh MS legs are DdQly burned
They are described as third degree
burns, DR.. G. N. Greusel, attending
says.
Face, Chest, Back Burned
Mrs. Garritson's clothes were
caught in the resulting flames which
burned the paper from her room, i'm
after the explosion of the
stove. Her face, neck, chest, both
hands and back were severely
burned.

THE INDIAN ROMANCE OF CAPTAIN CLARK
OF LEWIS AND CLARK FANNIE; DESCENDANTS
OF EXPLORER RESIDE lM mDSS0ULA COUNTY
ND Captain William Clark, of
ILeWis & Clark fame. President

IND captain william clark, OF
ILewis & Clark fame, President
~Jefferson's chosen messenger
in the history making journey
ros the continent, have his
lighter moments, and did he leave
a family, the mother of which was
a handsome woman of the Nez
Perez tribe, in Western Montana?
One story is that he was married
to this woman on the banks of the
Lo Lo creek, according to the rites
of her tribe, and that he left with
her a SON Tzi-Kai-Tzae, who was
a yellow-haired warrior under
Chief Joseph, his features indi-
eating white blood. Tzi-Kai-Tzae
insisted that he was half white,
and that the great explorer was his
father. N. p. L%angford, Montana
historical authority, held to this
view, and set down the date of the
birth of Clark's Indian son as
June 1906. Mary Clark, daugh-
ter of Tzi-Kai-Tzae, told the story
of her famous ancestry to Govern
or Joseph M. Dixon, in Missoula,
10 years ago.

RYEARLY 10 years ago while on
VI a visit to the Flathead Indian
reservation, Governor Joseph
M. Dixon, then congressman-at-large
from Montana, met Mary Clark, the
granddaughter of Captain William
Clark, of Lewis and Clark fame; and
induced her, upon a promise of SIS
in money, to later come to Missoula
to be photographed.
On July IA, 1905, a full hundred
years after her grandfather had pass
ed through western Montana upon
his great trip of exploration to the
Pacific coast, Mary appeared in Mis-
soula with her husband, Chooho-Min-
Milth-Chi, and showed up at Con-
gresham Dixon's office in that city.
Mr.. Dixon called a photographer
and took the pair outside where the
sunny side of a brick building serv-
ed as the background of the picture.
Mary insisted upon the congressman
appearing in the picture and to sat-
isfy her he stood between Mary and
her husband while the photographer
shot the trio.
At that time Mary was to all ap-
.pearances at least so years of age,
hale and hearty. She had been ac-
companied to Missoula by her daugh-
ter, Lucy, from their home on the
reservation near Arlee, and they
spent over an hour with the con-
gresham, telling their history and
producing proofs of their identity
and their connection with the great
explorer of the northwest.
Mary was the daughter of Tzi-Kai-
Tzae, who is considered by practically
all the Montana historians to have
been the son of Capt. William Clark
and a Nez Perces Indian m

liar figure in western Montana and

DAVIS IS NAMED
BY THE DEMOCRATS
Governor Bryan Of Nebraska
Chosen as His Run
ming Mate.

New York.-John w. Davis of West
Virginia, former ambassador to Great
Britain under the Wilson administra-
ton, was nominated for the presidency
by the Democratic national conven-
ton after deadlock which lasted for
1903 ballots, AS his running mate,
the convention named Charles w.
Bryan, governor of Nebraska.
Entering the race as candidate dis
tinctly of the dark horse" variety,
Davis received only 81 votes on the
first ballot, made up of the 16 votes
of his native state of West Virginia
and scattering votes from other dele
cations. AS the balloting proceeded
he picked up few votes here and
there and on the 23d ballot he re-
ceived 129 votes, giving him third
place in the race.
Then for many ballots his vote fluc-
tuated and gradually dropped slowly,
due to the opposition of William Jen-
nings Bryan, and the fierce tug-of-war
between the MCAdoo and Smith forces,
until he had only 80 votes on the 5Sth
ballot. That was his lowest point
