chance, whatever form it might take
to the limit. Like many of his bre-
thern, before the railroad came in
Sans word was as good as his bond.
He never failed to pay a bet or re-
deem marker as long as there was
a dollar in his purse. In his day he
won and lost fortunes without emo
ton
On one occasion he gave we'll
known Utah mining man marker
for $4,000. When the winner was
leaving the city, Sam met him in Sam
Martins clubrooms on Broadway and
paid him the bet in cash-$45, 200
in bills probably every cent he had,
but he kept his honor as gambler
unsullied.
"Swede" Sam was born in Sweden.
OF slender build, well above the me-
dunn height, always well dressed,
with a prediction for new derby
hats, "Swede" Sam was a notable
figure.
When gambling was finally put
under the ban in Butte, Sam removed
to Helena. Later his mind failed and
he was committed to the Montana
state sanatarium at Warm Springs.
He showed occasional signs of inn
provement.

prophetically, "The result is long
and tedious chase"
On the wearisome ascent of the
trail the Indians easily outdistanced
their pursuers, although their way
was marked by broken-legged pom
les left to die. The United States
cavalry found the trail veritable
Via Dolo rosa, their progress inn
|peded by underbrush, fallen trees,
and the dense growth of lodge pole
pine.
The Indians passed Warm
Springs, slipped by Capt. Rawn,
who had been orderer from Fort
'Missoula by Gen. Gibbon, whose
headquarters were then at Fort
Shaw, and entered the Bitter Root
valley. Historians tell us the in
habitants of that valley, with one
or two exceptions, welcomed the
Indians, and loaded them with pro-
visions, guns and ammunition, all
for a price, as is the custom of war
time profiteers.
Thus encouraged, the Indians
leisurely moved up the valley,
crossed the mountains, and turned
southwark by Bannack and Horse
Prairie. Meanwhile Gen. Gibbon
was making forced marches to
each them, and did SO at the Big
Hole river. Here there was an en-
that is story in itself.
General Gibbon, and several other
,fficers, were wounded, and some :
TILED. The attack having been
made on the Indian encampment,
nd they taken by surprise, men,
women and children were killed

Then young Pray went to Chicago

Montana elected Charles N. Pray
to congress in 1906 and reelected
him in 1908 and 1910. In 1912 he
was the party nominee for re-elec--
ton, but that was the Bull Moose
year, when the republicans lost all
along the line.

and l.. l.. Galloway, now chief JUS
tice of the Montana supreme court,
formed law partnership in Great
Falls which continued until Chief
Justice Galloway was elected to the

| Nez Perces, held several council
with Chief Joseph, White Bird, anC
the other Non-Treaties. and trieC
to convince himself that they woulC
go peacefully on to their .reserva
ton. But the last council wa:
hardly ended before news arrived
of Indian outrages in the neighbor-
hood, perpetrated by White Birds
band.
This was the beginning of open
warfare, on the part of the Lower
Nez Perces, as Chief Joseph was
persuaded to cast his lot with his
people. General Howard sent tele-
grams all over the country, warn
ing the settlers and calling for help.
There was quick response from the
army, even SO far away as Georgia.
The Indians were headed east, and
there was great uncertainty as to
the course they would take. In
Montana citizens in great numbers
fastened to volunteer, but it has
been said that their enthusiasm
waned when the time came to take
the field.
The outbreak took place June Is,
1877. Gen. Howard made Lewis
ton his depot and base of opera
tons. The first detachment sent
out by Gen. Howard was ambushed
by Chief Joseph and put to flight.
Gen. Sully was called in counsel by |
Howard, and the two generals de-
manded the surrender of the Ind
ians, but they refused.
Then followed the long pursuit
Of the Nez Perces, begun with the
defeat of Perry, followed by a sec
md engagement, when several In
1ians were killed, and over 700
ponies captured. 1t was hoped the
Indians could be prevented from
the Salmon river, but this
hey did in their own fashion, des-
ribbed by Gen. Howard: "They
make skin RATS and load them; tie
our horses abreast to the RATS
With small ropes; put four naked
indians on the horses, and then
oddly swim across"
Near the Clearwater the u. S.
oldiers were greatly annoyed by :
indian sharpshooters, who sought /

A battle took place at the Clear
