Montana as city editor of the Mis-
soula Sentinel. From there he be-
came city editor of the Butte Daily
Post, a position he resigned to be-
come associate editor of the Anacon-
da Standard. Beginning as a report
er, his rise in the Journalistic world
has been constant. He is regarded
in the newspaper fraternity as one of
the most able men in his profession
in the west.
"Leip," as he is Familiarity known
to his associates, enjoys the highest
esteem of all who know him. He has
a most pronounced sense of journal
istic fairness. He is a keen writer
and a skillful executive and those
who have worked under him or with
him in any capacity are extremely de-
voted to him. His promotion comes
entirely in recognition of his ability
and is the reward of merit.
Mr.. Leipheimer, among other in
terests, owns the Butte Automatic
Piano company, located on East
Broadway, the product of which is
sold over the entire state. He is the
son of Madam Leipheimer, the we'll
known music teacher and critic, and
his family are all active in musical
circles. Many expressions of good
will are being extended to MI. Leip-
heimer on his elevation to his new
responsibilities.
Joe Markham, formerly with the
Billings Gazette, who has been made

general manager of the Standard,
was formerly business manager of
that institution, and his quick pro-
motion attests to his ability.
1t is understood that Mr.. Kilroy
will have charge of a new daily news
paper which will be established by
Cornelius Vanderbilt shortly, in Port
land. Mr. Charles Sherare, another
former Montana newspaper man, has
charge of the Los Angeles Illustrated
Daily News and the San Francisco IL
Illustrated Daily Herald, tabloid news
papers that have recently been estab-
lished by Mr.. Vanderbilt, and which
have achieved remarkable success in
a very short time.

pupil, teacher, and superintendent
of instruction. The buildings used
for schools were not constructed
for that purpose. They were gen
orally log cabins, and poorly light
ed and heated. The pupils could
follow no regular course of study,
for there was none. The school
books were a heterogeneous lot and
of varying ages.
There being a large southern
clement here, race prejudice form
ed for a time another obstruction
to block the progress of the would
be student and even affected the
teachers. In Helena, a separate
school was opened for negroes, In
dians, and mixed bloods, and an at
tempt made to Dust a capable tea
cher because she had Indian blood.
Fortunately, the good sense of the
community operated to retain the
teacher, and the separate school
was discontinued from an economic
reason. 1t cost too much to main
tain it.
The children of that distant day
could not but be influenced by the
unsettled conditions about them,
and did not readily submit to dis
cipline. When my husband, Her
bert Percy Rolfe, came to Helena
in 1876 as principal of its schools,
he learned that the older boys were
accustomed to carry revolvers, and
likewise carry things with a high
hand during school hours. Mr..
Ro1fe overcame this trouble by
making the boys his aids in pre-
serving order, and the revolvers
were left at home.

Mr.. Lehman said that he had been
in Butte in 1880 and in 1881 went
to Alaska. At that time there were
only 800 white men in Alaska and
firing of the quest for gold there
he returned to Montana. Arriving
at Thompson Falls, or rather about
seven miles from there he obtained a
job as stationary engineer at Eddy's
Siding, where Eddy and Hammond
operated a lumber camp. He arrived
there Jan. IA, 1888, and the next
morning he walked w miles to
Weeks, where the only store in that
part of the country was located.
81 was out of tobacco and needed
some good heavy working clothes"
said Mr.. Lehman, "and after arriv-
ing in Weeks made my purchases
and started back to the camp. While
walking by a little shack, I heard the
sound of gasping for breath
and when I walked into the shack,
I found a man with his throat cut.
He was more scared than anything
else, and upon examination 1 discov-
cred that the wound was not deep,
although he was bleeding profusely.
I managed to get some more men
there to help me and we took the
man to the railroad station and ar
ranged to have the railroad men take
him on the train to the nearest hos
pital. / learned that the man had
tried to commit suicide while suf-
fering with delirium tremens.
Saw Bodies
ION the way to the road toward
my camp, I saw two men hanging to
a tree and hurried back to the sta
ton and asked some of the men at
the construction camp if they knew
about it. They stated that it was all
right, and that five more were to be
hung as soon as the railroad men
could catch up with them. 1t appears
that there were seven men in the
holdup gang which had been terroriz-
ing that section of the country. I
talked with the men who we're self
appointed executioners and they were
determined to get the rest of the
gang or know the reason why. 1 will
never forget the sight of the two men
hanging to that tree with their big
broad hats pulled down over their
heads. The railroad men never
caught up with the rest of the gang
as far as I know, because that was
the last of the hangings there during
residence in that part of the
country"
Mr.. Lehman stated that he had
forgotten the names of the two men
but would look up some of his old
belongings and try to find out who
they were. Mr.. Lehman went to
Butte again in 1884 and remained
there working in the mines as an en-
gineer for Marcus DAILY until 1889,
when he decided to locate at Yantic,
Montana. He arrived there May 1,
1889, and has lived there ever since.
The name Of the old town was chang
ed some time ago to Lehman, the ex-
PLANTATION of Mr.. Lehman being that
Louie Hill told me to wanted to pay
a compliment"

education. He has been living in the
country and riding to town horse
back to attend school. When he be-
came hard up he sold his saddle and
continued the trips to school by rid
ing bareback. The money from the
sale OF the saddle eventually gave
out and a day or so later he tried to
dispose of some of his clothing to get
money to pay for board. Citizens
of Malta consider this boy deserving

FIRST SCHOOLS IM MONTANA;
SOME OF THE FIRST TEACHERS

| ords state Thomas Dimsdale was
the first superintendent of public
instruction for Montana.
On November, 1866, Governor
Green Clay Smith called the atten-
ton of the legislature to the neces-
sity for further legislation in be-
half of education. Like Governor
Edgerton, Governor Smith dwelt
upon the Importance of education
in every country, but especially in
one where there is a democratic
form of government. He then sug-
gested what system of education
should be adopted in Montana. If
there was any legislation regard
ing education during the Meagher
regime, it was later annulled by
congress, as were the other laws
enacted by the legislatures he lille
gally called.
According to Mrs. w. J. Beal,
the first school in Bozeman was
held in the back room of a log
house in the winter of 1865. The
building had no floor and was heat
ed by a fireplace built of boulders.
A Mr. Anderson was the teacher,
and the pupils were Benjamin, Ed
win and Rosa Fridley, Jay Jay Nc
Arthur, and Frank Meraville, a
half-breed.
Thomas F. Campbell, the third
superintendent of public instruc-
ton to serve, but fourth appointed
or elected, stated in his report to
Governor Green Clay Smith, that
from 1867 to 1869 "there were no
schools in Beaverhead county, in
Edgerton county (now Lewis and
Clark there were three school dis
tricts where there was teaching
some time of the year. Eight school
districts were organized in Madison
county, but aside from district No.
l of Virginia City, in am uniform
ed of the fact of any school having
been taught in either, although I
think it fair to assume that there
have been in each" The forego-
ing, while not clearly expressed,
evidently implies there were no
schools held in any of the districts
except in No. l.
During his first term of office
as superintendent of public instruc-
ton, which endured from 1872 to
1877, Cornelium Hedges gave the
first regular report. In this he
mentions schools in nine counties,
Madison, Gallatin, Deer Lodge,
and Clark, Meagher, Jeffer-
son, Choteau, Missoula, and Bea-
verhead. The average school term
each year, was then 80 days. Book
keeping was a required study. Deer
had the first frame school
and Missoula the first one
of brick. Helena held school in
the basement of a church. The
desks and benches were a terror to
behold" While Hedges was in
good school buildings were
erected in Helena, Virginia City,
Blackfoot and New Chi
ago.
Clark Wright, who was superin-
:endent of public instruction, fol-
Cornelius Hedges, reported
new school houses at Butte, Boze-
nan, and Benton. The next super
ntendent, Egbert Smith, states
hat in 1879 Montana schools had
',O4o pupils, which was twice the
lumber of pupils in 1872.
From this brief sketch it will be
;een that the road to learning in
he early days of Montana's history /
vas no primrose path, but a way
reset with manifold difficulties for +,
