Judge W. r.. o. Stewart, for
nearly S5 years one Of the leading
citizens OF BOzemam and Of Mon
tana, died while sleeping at his
home in BOXeman. He had been
feeling somewhat indispOsed for a
few days prior to his death, but
there was no indication that his ilI-
ness was of so serious q character,
He had been up and around the
day before and during all Of the
week previous was at his office
as usual.
The Rev. r. R. Curry, former pastor
OF the baptist church, of which Judge
Stewart was long an active member, con-
Quoted the funeral services at the house
and the Masonic bodies had charge Of
the rites at the grave.
Born I'm Ohio
Judge Stewart was born March d, 1886,
on a farm in Monroe county, Ohio. He
remaiRed in Ohio until 1888, when he moved
with his parents to Kansas. In 1889 he
left the farm and moved to Kansas City
where he engaged in business. In 1892 he
came to BOzeman and while acting as
stenOgrapher for the late Judge Luce, dill
gently pursued the study Of law and in
1894 was admitted to the bar. Thereafter
he practiced his profession in BOzeman
with Hartman and Hartman, until he was
elected county attorney i'm 1898 Upon the
elevation Of Judge Holloway to the sup
RENE court beach IN 1902, Judge Stewart
was appointed by Governor TOOle to fill
the uneXpired term, and did so with such
success that he was thereafter elected to
the office serving as district Judge Of the
ninth judicial district, which at that time
comprised the counties Of Gallatin, Meagh-
er and BrOadWater, for a period Of 10
years continuously. After his retirement
from the bench he engaged in general law
practice in BOeman and was so engaged
at the time Of his death.
Attended Normal College
Judge Stewart received his education IN
the common schools Of Ohio and Kansas.
and at Kansas Normal college at Fort
Scott.
On May II, 1894, at Kansas City, Judge
Stewart and Miss Ethel Armstrong were
married and Mrs. Stewart, with their two
children. Hal w. and Mildred, now Mrs.

mer and Bruce Wilson Summer, survive

Spanish don. For thirty-five years
he has been an interpreter for the
BIackfeet and he has led an eventful
life.
His grandfather, Isadore Sandoval
was a Spaniard, and, according to
Macmillan, "lOng employed on the
Upper Missouri by the American Fur
company. In 1882 he was one of the
men sent with Kipp to begin the
Blackfeet trade, and upon the latter's
return to Fort Union was left in
charge thereof. He was a valued in
terpreter and clerk, charged with
many important missions. Finally he
quarreled with Alexander Harvey,
who shot and killed him in the store
at Fort Union"
Bradley mentions IsidOre SandOval
several times in his journal. OF his
killing, Bradley says: Harvey came
down in May with the annual re-
turns, SandOVals party remaining at
Fort Union to return with him. When
the keel-bOat had received its cargo
of new goods, and Harvey was about
to set out on his return, he and San
dOval got into a quarrel in the COM
pany's store. Harvey was standing
behind the counter and SandOval up
on the opposite side; when the lat
ter turned his face toward Harvey,
Harvey drew a pistol from his pOck-
ct and shot him in the center of the
forehead. SandOval fingered about
twenty-fOur hours and died. Such was
the lawlessness of the times that no
proceedings were instituted against
Harvey and he went entirely un-
punished" Rec. Vol. IL, p. 231.
Larpenteur gives a more detailed
account of the murder, from which
the reader may infer that Sandoval
was not in his good graces. After
killing SandOval, Larpenteur states
that Harvey went out into the mid
die Of the fort and announced, :" y,
Alexander Harvey, have killed the
Spaniard. If there are any Of his
friends who want to take it up, let
them come on but no one dared to
do so, and this was the last of the
Spaniard."
From Major CulbertsOn down, &C
cOrding to those who were in a posi-
tiOn to know, all were intimidated by
Harvey, and none cared to antagon-
ize him. Some claim that the naur-
der of SandOval was due to jealousy
on the part of Harvey. The truth OF
the matter will never be known. Evi.

tOrial days Montana was peOpled
largely by young men and boys Of
spirit and self-reliance. They were
cOnquering and developing a raw
land Of opportunity into a common
wealth and making it fit for state
hood. Probably not mOny of them
were aware Of it, nor gave much
thought to the magnitude Of the re-
suits they were destined to accom-
plish, but nevertheless they were a
large factor in a lively sphere OF &C
tiOn. To most Of them it was a new
life and a rather enchanting environ
ment. They came from the farms,
the prairies, the lakes and the sea;
from the coal mines, the copper re-
giOn and the iron ranges; from the
factories and the shops; from banks
and offices; and they found them
selves with a new sense OF liberty
under simple and workable laws
which permitted them to follow
their own ,inelinatiOns to an extent
hitherto unknown. The rules OF
conduct we're only bound by an indi-
vidual sense of justice and a consid-
Grafton for the rights Of the other
fellow, and enforced by a strong,
though tolerant public opinion.

ern Indians attended, Mr.. ROdman
Wanamaker, who was one Of the
speakers, called for some volunteer
to interpret his remarks in the sign
language. Richard SandOval offered
to do so, and for his services on this
occasion was presented with a medal
by Mr.. Wanamaker.
SnadOval's jOurneying hsa not al
ways taken him East; he has also
been to Spokane, once in 1885, and
visit to Denver, with a delegation of
Blackfeet, among whom is another
terpreter-Oscar BOy-WhO is said
to be the son Of a medicine man.
Considering the demands made up
on interpreters, it would seem that
at least two of them should accom-
pany every delegation of Indians,
their duties being twO-fOld, inter
preting English to the Indians, and
making the Indians ineligible to
the whites.
It is possible that many who read
this article, have but a vague idea
how this interpreting is done, as had
I before attending the recent confer
ence Of heads of chapters of the
Five-Y Year Program. I had thought
hitherto that after a speech was
made, the interpreter condensed it,
giving it's purport merely to those
who could not follow the speaker.
This is far from being the case. If
the speaker is a white man or a
Blackfeet, he gives few sentences
which the interpreter then translates,
perhaps not always conveying the
exact meaning, but nearly so.
The task of the interpreter is much
greater of late years than formerly,
when Indians were ignorant of Eng
lish, for today there is a generation
which has received some schooling,
or by assOciating with the whites has
learned their language to a certain
extent. Woe then to the interpreter
who exercises his imagination in
stead of his memory! His interpreta-
ton will not pass unchallenged, and
he would soon lose his office.
At the conference I have mention
ed. Mr.. Irvin-a sOn-in-laW of Major
CulbertsOn-made an address. He is
an eloquent speaker with a voice OF
remarkable carrying power. Words
never fail him, and often he was SO
possessed of his subject, that he
seemingly forgot his Indian auditors
II could not follow him. When at length
he briefly paused, was sure SandO'
val would be unable to remember
what had been the tenor Of his re-
marks, but he never failed, and was
apparently not in the least discOn
certed by the speakers vOlubility.

FOrty-Seven Years in Prison

Michael Foley, known as No. 217,
at Montana State prison, is now
serving his fOrty-seventh year of a
life sentence and is the second long
est-served prisoner in the United
States. When he was 20 years old
in 1875, he engaged in an argument
with a miner known as Fredericks,
whom he shot to death. He was
found guilty of murder in the second
degree in the first judicial district,
Madison county. The quarrel was at
Virginia City. When Foley started
serving his sentence, photography
was in it's infancy and it was not un-
