ians Among these was Frank Conley,
Tor many years warden of the state peni-
Tertiary who was then freighting on one
OF the army expeditions. Mr.. thinner
man tells that in driving a mess wagon
up a hill, Conley got into a Jackpot with
his outfit. An officer came along, looked
ct the lines and said, "Teamster, where
did you learn to hitch a mule?"
Once while Captain Baldwin and sew
eral other officers and A. l.. Huffman,
Miles City photographer, whose pictures
of the early West have won him con-
siderable fame, were hunting in the
Black canyon in the Big Horn, MIR. Zim-
norman had a close call. He had sneak
ed down to get a deer near the creek.
When he returned, he was toll that the
captain had seen something move and
was about to shoot when someone re-
monstrated Don't shoot, that's thinner

Baldwin was a crack shot and 1 am
glad they stopped him" Mr.. Zimmerman
commented.

without bloodshed. Other experiences
of that year were a trip back to Bismark
through bitterly cold weather and the
return as an escort to General Miles am
bulance.
In 1879, he saw active service against
the Sioux Indians along the border where
General Miles and Sitting Bul were still
at odds. There was more than one forced
march through all sorts of adverse wealth
er conditions and the Indians were kept
on the move although there were few
battles of any consequence.
In one expedition against the Sioux
who were camped at near Milk river, a
Hotchkfss ~one-pounder which a been
brought along was fired and the shot ex-
ploded in the midst of the camp. The
Indians jumped on their horses and scat
tered in all directions and left their wag-
ons behind.
During his service in the army, Mr..
Zimmerman became acquainted not only
with numerous army Officers who after
wards became prominent but also civil

Two army officers who afterwards
won distinction as generals in later
American wars were both in q skir-
mish with a small band OF Sioux
Indians near the head of Porcupine creek

ness man of Billings who was q private
in company X 9Th infantry at the time
OF the encounter in March 1880.
The captain of the company was Frank
D. Baldwin who afterwards won fame in
the Filipino instruction as general in
charge OF the operations against the
Moros. The first lieutenant was Hunter

zimmerman saw the future General Lig-

hin from drowning.
A band Of Sioux Indians from Sitting
Bulls band which was then along the
Canadian border, came down on a horse
stealing expedition into the Grow Coun-
try. Complaints were brought to Gen.
eral Miles at Fort Keogh and acting with
the promptitude which had been q ma
terial factor / stopping Indian raids,
General Miles had despatched several
companies OF the 5th infantry, a mount
ed regiment to the scene Of trouble.
The company went southeast into the
Rosebud country n at a point on Sand
Creek between Tullock's fork and the
Rosebud river, some horse tracks were
discovered n then some smoke was
seen In q coulee. There we're about eight
inches OF SNOW on the ground at the
time and 1t was quite cold. The COM
pany deployed but when they arrived at
the camp. only the bodies Of three dead
Indians were found on the ground.
From the tracks and other evidences.
1t wa apparent that company E had had
q fight with the Indians about a half
hour before. One of the Indians who
had been shot through the head, 1t was
afterward learned was shot down at ten
feet by a soldier named Beder Just as
the Indian was about to spring upon
him.
Captain Baldwin noticed that in the
pursuit Captain Eward of company E
had taken the wrong direction, going
northeast while the Indians had started
northwest. The soldiers followed on the
trail until 1t was too dark to see the
tracks in the The troops Their
went due north and crossed the Yellow
stone river to the stage station kept by
the amous "Liver-Eating" johnson. 1t
was then nearly midnight and there had
been nothing to eat since early morning.
The men were given only two or three
hours to rest however n they were
then In the saddle again following north
on the trail which was again picked up
about daylight. About 8 o'clock In the
morning. a horse was found in q coulee
n the soldiers deployed. 1t turned out
to be only a played-out cayuse left by
the Indians. Several times in the course
of the morning other worn out horses
were found in similar places and as at
each place the troops were deployed to

NE Of the master minds of finance
of early day Montana was Henry
Filing Of Virginia City. Outside Of
the section of Montana which was
the scene Of his achievements he is all
but forgotten, but to this day, in Madi-
son county his fame is as Respondent
as 1t was in the old days Of gold and
and glory. He died, in harness, about 20
years ago, and left a fortune which was
appraised at %. 000, 900. and which was
probably worth twice the amount OF the
appraisement.
Filing came to the United States in
the early SOS, an immigrant lad from
Germany, and when he arrived spoke only
his mother tongue. His first work was
In a mercantile establishment, in a minor
capacity, and hen he was about rs years
Of age he was the halloween in a small
trading post In a garrison town in Kan
sas. An Indian war came along and the
soldiers, who were his sole patrons, were
ordered out to fight. Filing and his
partner were left at the deserted post
with a 10000 stock of goods on their
hands. n nc customers.
This stock OF goods had been purchased
from st. LOU wholesalers on credit, and
something drastic had to be done. This
was along in 1868. The word Of the won
derful strike of placer gold at Alder gulch
flashed over the country. The stories
told OF the richness of this strike were

take no chance of an Indian attack, on
siderable time was lost.
Along in the afternoon, the troops
came to a place near P~orcupine creek
where a bunch of buffalo had been chas-
ed across the trail making 1T difficult to
follow.
AS the advance continued, q butte ap-
peared near the head Of the Porcupine.
The officers were in advance n Lieu
tenant Liggett had dismounted at a point
to one sid for purposes Of observation
when from the top Of the butte, a hidden
Indian opened fire, at about 200 yards.
selecting Liggett as their target. He
mounted in a hurry according to the
story told by Mr.. Zimmerman n joined
his comrades who then dropped back
out OF danger.
Thu soldiers were then deployed and
the hill surrounded but as the Indians
were hidden behind the rocks at the top
Of the butte, a direct attack would have
been too costly in men and the soldiers
also secured such cover as was offered
by the country and waited for reinforce
ments.
Just as 1t was getting to be almost
dark, the Indians who had apparently
seen the approach OK the men OF COM
pany I, broke through the ranks Of the
soldiers on their horses and escaped, as
1t was too dark to follow them.
1t was bitterly cold that night, the
thermometer going to So degrees below
zero. The men had been in the saddle
with only n brief rest for a period of
33 hours and had travelled 1870 miles.
1t was decided therefore to give over
the pursuit as the officers were satisfied
that the Indians had Jared badly and
would not risk another trip south for
some time to come.
More than forty years arterward, Gen.
eral Baldwin, Mr.. Zimmerman and Scout
Hawkins who was afterward sheriff Of
Custer county and is still living, went
together to the scene Of the skirmish
while General Baldwin was paying a visit
to this section. General Baldwin died at
Denver two years ago.
In discussing the expedition against
these Indians, General Baldwin told Mr..
zimmerman that in all his experience
from the Civil war through the Philli-
pine instruction, he never put in a more
Terrible day thar in following through
the SHOWS after the Sioux on that occa-
sion and In endeavoring to keep warm
that night with only saddle blankets to
aid. 1t was said that some of the In
dams did not get back to Canada until
the following June.
In the middle OF April, Mr.. Zimmerman
through his quickness of action and pres
ence OF mind, saved Lieutenant Liggett
from drowning in the Yellowstone river.
AT that time the company was going to
FORT Buford from Fort Keogh with Lig-
gett and Lieutenant Long in charge. AS
tney were crossing the river about 90
miles north Of Miles City, Liggett's horse
got a little too far off the ford into deem
water n he was thrown in the stream
but near the bank. The water was both
swift and cold.
zimmerman and the others Jumped
from their horses and grabbed Liggett

about 20 feet down the stream. Years
afterward one Of the officers told Zim-
norman that he was always referred to
as the little man with the bob-tailed
horse who saved Liggett's life"
During most of his service in the army,
Mr.. Zimmerman was an orderly for var
ious officers, with the collateral duties
Of company bugler. He was stationed at
Fort Custer in later years and he saved
sufficient money from various work
which he picked up as q barber n aide
to the quartermaster to start in the rail-
road contracting business after his dis
charge and he later went into the mer-
camille business.

Lorraine and after coming to this coun-

try, worked for a German blacksmith for
several years. He entered the army be-
cause it offered q better opportunity to
become acquainted with the English
language and to see different parts of the
country. He enlisted in November, 1877
and was sent Immediately to Minnesota
and then came to Bismarck by rail. From
there, the detachment Of recruits march
ed overland to Fort Keogh and although
1t was the middle of February, the
weather was SO warm that their over
coats were carried most Of the way in
the wagons.

MARKET
CLOSES WEAK
Runs Into Enlarged Selling
Orders on Bulges, Early
Gains Fail to Hold

Chicago, Jan. 11--(P1-Wheat ran
into enlarged selling orders today on
bulges. and failed to hold early gains.
Announcement of 9,269 900 bushels
increase Of the worlds available sup
ply had considerable bearish influ.
encc. Another depressing factor was
beginning of railroad embargoes on
Canadian wheat shipments because
OF lack of elevator room.
Wheat closed weak u to y cent
net lower, corn unchanged to V cent
off, oats unchanged to Is down, and
provisions showing IL to 25 cents
gain.
Bullish traders in wheat derived
encouragement today from European
purchase ing of rye futures here as
well as from acceptance Of all over
night offerings of rye for immedi-
ate export. Transatlantic demand
for rye was generally taken as en-
phasizing European need for bread
grain.
Wheat buying today was further
stimulated through advices that Ar
gentine freight rates have risen one
shilling to three shillings ton, and
that January shipments from Argen.
tina are now at premium Of five
shillings over February and still
more over March and April. Small
ness of stocks Of wheat at Liverpool
and reported shortage of wheat at
Galveston to meet engagements were
also given attention.

STOCK MARKET
Is IRREGULAR
Control of Price Movement
AlternateS Between Bull
and Bear Traders

New York, Jan. l1-LP)-Alternate
periods of weakness and strength
characterized today's stock market as
control Of the price movement shifted
from "bulT to shear" traders.
Trading was rather light in volume,
with no indications Of any widespread
public participation. Lowering OF
the call money rate from IA to 4
per cent. combined with the fact that
enormous sums of money were still
seeking investment, aided the cam
paign Of spectators for the advance.
A brisk demand for the eastern
railroad shares, apparently based on
the expectations of increased coal
shipments as result of the colder
weather, featured the early after
noon dealings, and checked, the sell
ing movement was started in the mo-
tor shares. Mack Trucks, however,
showed independent strength.
Erratic fluctuations took place in
commercial solvents "B" which sold
down over five points to 243 in the
early trading and then snapped hack
to 1853, a record high for all time.
Recent buying Of this issue has been
associated with talk Of stock split
up and "open market" purchases by
other large chemical interests, pre-
sumably the Duponts, but these lack
information. Allied Chemical and
Dupont sold down two points, and
heaviness also developed in U. S.
Steel common. Baldwin, General Mo-
tors and other recent leaders.
An unusually brisk demand de-
velopcd in several Of the oil shares
in which special developments are
believed to be pending. Barnsdall
"A" was again taken in large blocks
at advancing prices.
The closing was irregular. Brisk
buying Of Wheeling 4 Lake Eric
shares in connection with merger
rumors caused purchases of other
low prices rail issues. Dividend pay
ing rails also were in demand. Vari-
