Plentywood herald. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1908-current, 1927-03-25

CARL DUNRUD, Montana cowboy
and lariat expert, Is the first
cowboy who can boast of hav-
ing lassoed polar bears from the deck
of a schooner picking her way among
icebergs inside the Arctic Circle.
Carl does not boast of this experience,
but he could If he were the boasting
kind, says the writer who tells his
unusual story in The American Maya
zine.
Carl accompanied the recent expedition
OF the American Museum of Natural His
narwhal, polar bears, arctic birds, and
deep-sea specimens of one kind and an
other. He captures a walrus and a couple
OF polar bears, which are now very much
at home in the Bronx Zoo in New York
City.
"Lassoing a walrus is a mighty slippery
business" he told me during a stop-over
In New York on his way back to Yellow
stone Park, where he spends most of each
year herding elk and buffalo, hunting
predatory animals, and acting as guide to
tourists. "The trouble Isl he went on,
"a walrus's head is smaller than his neck,
so a rope thrown over his head slithers
right of, IL you don't maneuver 1t under a
ripper, too. And of course that's hard, be-
cause a walrus feeds and plays under
water. It's just now and then that he
comes to the surface to tank up on air.
doctor Rasmussen, a great Danish ex-
plorer and authority on Greenland, Joined
Us at Upernivik, the most northern settle
ment In the Western Hemisphere. He intro
duced US to a family OF Eskfmos, famous
arctic hunters, who acted as our guides In
the scare hfor walrus. They took us to
waters where game was plentiful. In one
quiet nook. almost shut of by towering ice
bergs, we found a hundred walruses in a
single herd.
"Out of this big herd, the Eskimos har-
pooned five for us, and / got one with my
lariat. But l didn't enjoy my share of the
sport 80 much, and I'll tell you why:
One of the harpooned animals war a moth
er walrus that had been swimming with
her cub. 1t was this cub that / got. He
refused to leave his mother even after she
was dead. 1t was because he kept on COM
ing up to see what had happened to her
that | was able to get him.
II felt mean about the job, but / tried to
comfort myself by thinking that the Es-
kimo children had to have walrus meat for
food, and that / was along for the sole
purpose of bringing back arctic specimens
for the Museum.
1T was great fun getting our two polar
bears, though. We found them preening
themselves on a cake OF Ice near Ponds
inlet, the most northerly station of the
Canadian Mounted Police. Getting the rope
over their heads wasn't hard, but getting
them to the schooner was the very dickens,
for they fought like a couple Of wildcats.

that time. | would have held him in check
until my friends came to my assistance. and
then neither of the generals nor their sol
diers would have left Bear Paw mountain
alive"
Joseph does not tell us who were these
expected friends. They might have been
the Sioux under Sitting Bull, who was not
far distant, or Indians from Canada.
Near the close of his statement Joseph
remarks, Il know that my race must
change. We can not hold our own with the
white men as we are. We only ask an
even chance to live as other men live. We
ask to be recognized as men. We ask that
the same law shall work alike on all men.
II an Indian breaks the law, punish him
by the law. If the white man breaks the
law, punish him also.
Let me be a free man-free to travel,
free to stop, free to work, free to trade
where | choose, free to choose my WI
teachers, free to follow the religion of my
fathers, free to think and talk and act for
myself-and | will obey every law, or sub
NIT to the penalty. -. hope that no
will ever go to the ear of the Great Spirit
Chief above, and that all people may be one
people,"
/ have quoted somewhat at length from
"Chief Joseph's Own Story" as only from
1t can we know the man, his intelligence
and humane feeling. 1t may seem impos-
sible for an Indian to be humane, but in
this respect ! have never read OF a military
leader who surpassed him. II the reader
doubts this statement / refer him to the
complete story. 1t is found In most public
Libraries.
Thoe of us who were In Montana when
the news arrived that Chief Joseph and his
Nez Perces were headed In this direction,
will recall the excitement and apprehension
1t awakened. There was not a town In the
state that did not fear 1t might be In the

dined in Helena, Joseph was passing
through the Yellowstone park. The day
he entered 1t, General Sherman left. Joseph
kept right on, although soldiers had been
ordered from Fort Ellis by General Sher-
man to relieve Howard. Like those from
Fort Missoula, they did not remain long
away from the fort.
Colonel Sturgis, in command of the Sew
enth cavalry, tried to head off the Indians,
but failed to do so. Then General Miles
was directed to join the hunt, and 1t is
we'll known that he probably would not
have caught up with Joseph had he not
detained the last steamboat of the season
to ferry him and his men across the Mis-
souri,. Joseph had led our army a chase
OF at least 1,400 miles, and a good deal of
the way his trail lay through a country
with which doubtless he was not familiar.
History records no more remarkable mill
tary feat than this.
After his surrender, these Indians, like
the Cheyennes, were sent south, into q
country where they died, as the saying is,
