men who followed him to continue b
work he established, but few have heard
Of the women missionaries who neces-

order, which vas founded in France in
the sixteenth century for the purpose OF
instructing girls. they being sadly neg
Iected in the accepted scheme Of educa-
ton then in vogue.
With a noble disregard for racial pref
udice, the UrSulineS taught girls Of all
the races with which they came in con-
tact, not limiting their instruction to
religious subjects. From the beginning
they were missionaries, willing to brave
any danger in the interest of their faith.
Their coming to Montana resulted from
a suggestion given by a ranchman near
Miles City to Father Lindesmith Of Fort
KeOgh. The Northern Cheyennes, whose
reservation is adjoining that Of the
Crows with but a range OF Mountains IN
Cervening, had become restless, causing
grave apprehensions Of possible Indian
depredatiOns to the neighboring settlers,

the ranchman mentioned, "if you could
only get some sisters among these wild
ones, the Cheyennes, they could do more
for the government than a regiment"
This suggestion reaching the ears of
Bishop BrOndel, appealed to him.. He at
once made known the facts Of the case to
eastern bishops, one of whom, Bishop
GilmOur. of Cleveland, Ohio, sent out q
call for volunteers for this missionary
field. who would be instrumental not
alone in saving souls but in rendering
the Cheyennes and other Indians more

Left Hundred Million Pounds; Alleged
Heir is SOming to Montana to Make
Legal Fight

The estate of the late United States
Senator w. A. Clark, mining magnate
Of Butte, is again to be the target of
alleged relatives, not mentioned in the
will, according to a letter received by
j. Ward Crosby, clerk of the supreme
court of Lewis and Clark county.
Attorney McGrath of New South Wales
writes that he represents Mrs. Catherine
O'Connor, a niece Of the senator, in her
claim to a share Of the estate.
Three Missouri women recently lost
their plea in court in which they said
they were daughters Of Senator Clark.
The letter is in the possession Of John
w. Mahan, attorney Of the state board Of
equalization.
McGrath writes that Mrs. Oconnor's
maiden name was Catherine Clark. She
was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in
1852. Her father, Robert Clark, was born
in county Monahan, Ireland, III Mrs.
O'Connor thinks that her father was a
brother or IN uncle to the deceased sena-
tor.
The death Of Senator Clark was not
known in New Zealand until April of
this year and, according to a newspaper
clipping sent with the letter, there are
anticipating a share Of the estate Of SEN
ator Clark. Clark died two years ago and
left neither wife nor children, says the
paper, to share the estate, estimated at
more than 100,000,000 pounds. Sixty
two claimants from all parts of the world
have proven their relationship to the
multi-millionaire, the paper adds. The
chief claimant is James Clark, Of High
Street Waratah, a suburb of New Castle
James Clark is said to be on his way
to the states to prosecute his claim
The New Zealand claimants are of the
opinion that the Montana supreme court
