Friach says the Reds are too slow
for the Giants, and that while they
may show enough in the race to bring
them up near the top, they lack tho
ability TO pass either the Giants or
Pittsburgh. Frisch thinks the
Chicago Cubs may make more trouble
for. the Giants than the Reds.
In close games Frisch believes
that Cincinnati. despite its strong
pitching stan. has not put together
q remnant. Pitchers. he argues, may
hold the score low. but IL takes speed
to put across the one run needed to

with the result that all of the Indians

Suspicion was directed to the COW

no one could throw any light upon
the disappearance of the Indians.

When The Gros Ventre Indians
Trn;led A Bad Medicine" Track
Through SnolUbou1ad North Country

D URING the winter of 1864-E
Pierre Chouteau of the Ameri
- can Fur company was stationed
at Fort Pierre. Trade was good that
winter and before spring supplies be-
gan to run short. Among other
| things the sugar sacks grew less
| for the Indian, with all his apparent
carlessness of diet, likes to have his
| tea sweetened.
There was CONSERVATION in the fort
one day when the clerk announced
that the last of this wholesome lux
ury was gone. There was no hope of
getting any before navigation opened
in the spring, and to insure it coming
messenger had to be sent to Fort
Benton, the nearest trading post of
the company.
A journey of that distance in the
winter those days had to be made
on foot and was attended by consid-
cradle peril from being lost, frozen,
or having ones hair cut by the In
dians, any one of which incidents
would result in the adventurer end

known to all old-timers, who, though
handicapped by nature with two club
feet, was as intrepid as any of those
fearless pioneers. George Boyd left
a remarkable trail when he walked,
but his enemies, both red and white,
found it poor trail to follow. He
volunteered to make the trip.

his back set out one morning on his

made without unusual incident until
the country of the eros Ventre In
dams was reached, along about the
Milk river valley. These Indians did
not chance to see the lonely travel
er, but a hunting party discovered
his trail in the snow. The first
brave to see the tracks gazed long
and wonderingly at them. He had
hunted many years in that section
but had never seen an animal that
left track such as that. He called
the remainder of the party together
and they held a council. The more |
they gazed the more bewildered and |
fearful they grew. Those tracks |
must have been made by the evil |
spirit embodied in some new animal |
and they concluded to give up the |

PIONEER MATRON DIES
AT BOZEMAN--- CROSSED
PLAINS In SIXTY FIVE

Mrs. T.. Frazier celebrated her
eighty-ninth birthday anniversary
recently at her home in Bozeman.
She is a Montana pioneer, who
crossed the plains in 1865 and
came to Bozeman the following
spring, making her home in or
near this city ever since. She re-
ceived greetings from number
of old time friends.
With her husband, the late G.. w
A. Frazier, and her children, she
arrived in Virginia City Sept. Z,
1865. after crossing the plains from
Illinois with oxen and mule teams.
While Mr.. Frazier used his teams in
hauling driftwood for the mines, she
saws she assisted her brother, the
late G. A. Heard, in teaching school.
Farming appealed more to Mr.. Fra
zier than mining and in April, 1866,
he brought his family to Bozeman,
where he made good use of the
pillow he brought across the plains.
The Getty hotel" built by Mr.. Fra
zier on the south side of Main street,
was one of the first frame buildings
in Bozeman, and it is said by Mrs.
Frazier that this was the first real
hotel in the city. 1t was opened on
Christmas, 1866, with big ball and
supper, to which people came from
all parts of the valley. The beds
were home made, of pine, as were
also the dining tables and benches.
Mrs. Frazier had brought quilts and
other bedding with her that helped
in the furnishing.

more teachers are employed as it is
expected with a return of prosperity
to the state.
Following are figures indicating
the present status of the retirement
fund:
Amount invested in school bonds
at 6 per cent interest, $162,921.4S.
Amount invested in school bonds
penses, s30,327.01.
Total amount paid out since law
became operative, s394,421.21. (This
sum includes the purchase of bonds.)
Number of annuitants, 106. Seven
teen of this number are new.
Number of annuitants whose
claims have been approved, but who
are still teaching, 10.
Deceased annuitants, IL.
Amount contributed for the pres
ent year, s35,87565.
Receipts for the year ending June
