after over 80 years of petitioning at
intervals to the company. This late
action was begun over a year ago,
when the association was started by
A. T. Moreaux, who took up the mat
ter with the commission at Helena,
soon getting S. M. Ross of the board
and Engineer James Bonner to go
to Stevensville, where a preliminary
survey of conditions was made, the
first steps for the hearing during the

the railway and of the community

Job he was promoted to wagon boss
with salaryof $14 month. When
the barracks were completed Mack
left for Missouri, where he home
steaded 100 acres of land. Home
stealing was entirely too slow for
him and he moved to Omaha. Here
he secured the hazardous job of
driving cattle from Omaha to Sac
ramento, Cal. He was forced by
the Mormons of Utah to pay 50
cents head on the cattle that pass
ed through their territory.

tn AVE MACK, OF h erwis e
David Mcmillan Billingsly,
- trail blazer and vigilante, is
dead. The end came at the home
of niece near Houston, Texas, on
December IL, according to word re-
ceived by Mrs. Morgan Davis OF
600 Colorado street, who had cared
for the pioneer for several years
before his removal to Texas little
more than two years ago. He was
90 years of age.
Passing the greater part of his
life in Montana and always trying
to be on the frontier where "there
was something going on" Dave
Mack helped make some of the
early history of Montana, especial
ly in the Vigilante days.
1t was Billingsly who, 10 years
ago, made the statement that Gen
eral Thomas Francis Meagher had
been killed by the vigilantes, his
story attracting statewide interest
that held for many weeks.
Friend of 40 Years
For more than 40 years, Dave
Mack and Dick Porter, veteran
brakeman on the Northern Pacific
out of Butte, had been friends and
no one knows the career of Bill
lingsly as does Porter. 1t was the
latter who made the long trip to
Texas with his old friend two,years
ago and saw the trail blazer snugly
settled in the home of his niece.
1t was the pioneers wish as he
felt that his life of adventure was
drawing to a close that he be per-
mitted to die in the home of his
last remaining relative. That wish
was gratified.
A Tennesseean
David Mcmillan Billingsly was
born in Tennessee in 1925. When
a boy of IA he left his home to seek
his own livelihood. He went to
Fort Smith, Ark, where he secured
his first job, driving team of oxen
on a government barracks job of

enth annual convention of the Mon
tana horticultural society.

At the outbreak of the Civil war
Mack was mining in British Column
bia but Immediately deserted his
claims to enlist in the Confederate
army. In the Confederate army he
served less than a year when it be-
came known that Missouri Che en-
listed in Missouri had not legally
seeded, thus making all prior en-
Ilistments invalid. This move did
not keep Mack from fighting for
| his beloved south and he went back
to his native state and again, en-
listed. AS soldier of the Confed-
eracy he was wounded twice, once
at Lookout mountain and again at
the battle of Chickamauga. After
his discharge he set out to explore
the western territory.
In Montana
In February, 1865, Billingsly set
foot for the first time on Montana
soil. The first experience he en-
countered was near Helena in a
camp called Confederate gulch,
where he and two partners killed
four and wounded number of des-
perado claim jumpers. In 1866,
remembered by pioneers because OF
the intense cold that killed cattle,
horses and mules, Billingsly was
in Bear gulch. He built his home
there, but later sold it to James A.
Murray. The year following he
went to Deer Lodge, where he was
jailer and sexton, and at the same
time driver for DR.. Mitchell. He
was also in the employ of the Bel
enbergs and q very intimate friend.
He came to Butte in 1876 and
built little cabin at the corner of
Main and Mercury streets. In this
cabin Mack lived AZ years. He
characterized the district then as
'the toughest camp ever on earth"
To Dick Porter, Mack gave the
revolver that Daniels used in the
murder of Helena saloonkeeper
and also the rope that was used in
the hanging of Daniels several
months later. Mack had taken part
in number of lynchings and was
a staunch member of the vigilantes.
IT.. Eo,,~ pooe+e
"There are four things he al
ways boosted of" said Mr.. Porter.
almost UP to the time of his death
he would say, I have never been
in a schoolhouse; | have never had
a sweetheart; I have never played
a card; I have never been broke
And those boasts were true" added
Mr.. Porter.
Although he was eligible, Mack
never joined the Montana Society
of Pioneers. He joined the Masons
in Missouri. When the primitive
home of the order burned down,
all records were destroyed and
when he requested to- be reinstated
in the order during his last years
in Butte all living witnesses were
dead and the records that he ever
Joined were burned, SO that he was
refused.
Billingsly was highly esteemed
in Deer Lodge and Butte
and was one of the most prominent
of early settlers because of his gen
tlemanly traits. He was as fair as
a man could be and his kindness
was rewarded in the opinion OF
Dick Porter.

DAVE MACK'S BOASTS

David Mcmillan Billingsiy,
otherwise known in the nearly
so years that he made his home
in Butte as Dave Mack, had
four boasts. They were:
That he never entered a
school house.
That he never had sweet
heart.
That he never played card.
That he never was 'broke."
Biflingsly died at the home
of a niece near Houston, Texas.
He left Butte little more than
two years ago.

 The Mohawks of Meriden held the All kensingtons to scoreless tie yesterday afternoon on the Perciyal avenue grounds, and fans noticed a decided improvement In the opera ton of the visiting team. It will be remembered that the All Kensing- tons have won one game from this delegation, score 1S-O.
 Resembling the Yale eleven on Saturday in their stonewall endur- ance, the Mohawks held the All kensingtons away from the goal line in the last period. On the first down, ball in Kensington's possession, the play was made on the Mohawk's five yard line. Four times the local delegation tried to break down the tarrier erected by the opposing line, and each time they failed, line plunges having absolutely no effect. Upon the completion of the four downs the bah was on the Mohawke 90 yard line.
 The ball was Meridens and pass, Lewis to Wollschlager, netted 45 yard gain. Time was short and
