ebration. Rodeo to be Biggest in the
History of Montana
Turn 'em lo0se," will be the word
in Great Falls, the first week in July.
Manager VIII Steege has
that the third annual rodeo and Fourth
of July celebration will be held July
l, 2, 3 and 4, and that every atom of
real western wildness in the United
States and Canada will be concen-
trated i'm Great Falls on those dates.
For three years" says Manager Steege,
1.-THE Great Falls rodeo has been develop
ing into the biggest thing of its kind In
Montana, and we are this year prepared
to announce the widest wild west show
ever attempted in this nart of the west"
One OF the biggest advantages this
year, according to MIR. Steege, in the
staging of the show in Great Falls is the
ample seating capacity which the new
North Montana fairgrounds now in the
course of preparation, will provide. In
this connection, Mr.. Steege says:
Last year, we turned away in a single
day, more Than 5000 people who had
come to the grounds to witness the ro-
dec contests. This not only interfered
with the financial success of the show.

be completed in time for the opening
days program, to provide seating capac-
ity for 5000 people. In addition to this
we propose to erect bleachers capable OF
accommodating $500 additional. The
grounds have been securely fenced, and
SO arranged as to provide ample auto
mobile car parking space. This means
that no n will be disappointed this
year. This new grandstand is to be the
largest single unit building in Montana,
adj will be completely equipped with rest
rooms and comfort facilities. A new one
half-mile track constructed according to
the most modern requirements will be
completed in time for the show"
The 1923 rodeo program as arranged
will leave m dull moments from the
opening hour July l until the last bomb
has been set off in the gigantic fireworks
display on the evening of the Fourth.
The worlds most famous talent is enter
ing the events and the rodeo itself COM
prises a program of events equal to the
worlds greatest wild west shows. With
bronco busting, calf roping, bull dog
ging, wild COW milking, wild horse races,
steer riding, relay races, a stage holdup,
etc, the entire program will be a re-en-
acting of the scenes common to the days
when Montana was q territory of wide
open spaces and free cattle range.
There will be parades and %nageants, In
which Gray SCOTS Arlee Indians will

Following his resignation from the po-
lice department, Terry went into part
nership with John F.. Duffy and secured
a lease on ground in the Spectator
claim from the Pat Largey interests. He
has continued to be interested in mining
ever since.
Terry Lemons favorite lounging place
is the city hall, where he spends an hour

Bramson shot the fellow with the pistol but the other Indian throw his toma- hawk. The handle struck Bramson's gun barre,. glanced off, and hit him on the head and knocked him sense- less. This caused an injury from which he never fully recovered. though he h stip living in tho city or Washington. Whlle yet . boy Bramson had taken part in the Civil war.
 At this point in the fight some of the Indians being surrounded got behind and under the spreading roots of an overhanging. partly fall- en tres.

Albert Remington Describes
 Fight at White Earth Greek

A thrilling tale of the punitive ex- petition of the United States army against Dull Knife and the engage ment against the Indians at White Earth creek in the winter of 1878 is told by Albert Remington of Plain- vile. who fought in the campaign. MT. Remington served with Co. B, Fourth cavalry. in the pursuit of the recalcirant Cheyenne. and details his memories of the campaign as follows:
 Some troops Of the Fourth and Fifth cavalry with 800 Indian scouts under Col. R. s. Mackenzie started from Fort Fetterman on November ,, 1878. crossed the North Platte river on the ice, and continued in the general direction of the hostile Indian camp. A white scout came to us with information that the Indian camp had been located on White Earth creek. so when we struck ths creep we followed 1t up until we came to a small, well-sheltered val ley which was prolific with wild game. This valley consisted of about 500 acres and was at the head of the creek.
 ''We had planned to surround the Indians and if possible capture the whole outfit. Three companies moved up one side of the creek and three companies up the other. We would have captured the whole band had not our Indian scouts become excited and begun the fight prema- turely. It was estimated that there were 1,500 hostile Indian warriors led by Dull Knife. a chief of some distinction. The Indians did not ex- pect winter campaign and were surprised. All previous campaigns had been conducted in summer months. when there was plenty Of grass to feed the Indian ponies, of which they had thousands, tnclud- ing remounts. But by this time the

ANNIVERSARY 1 0f 'f|REBUG' NIGHT
Seven Fir6 in Throe Hours on February 2t, 1917

Tuesday will be the anniversary o1 what is probably the widest night the city of New Britain has ever known. It was just II years ago. on the evening of February q. 1917, that the city suffered from that af- tliction which has ever since been designated as ''ths firebugs." Sevea. fires within three hours sent the city into an uproar, bringing out every piece of fire apparatus tn New Brit ain and requiring the calling of help from Hartford. Bristol. Plainville. and Waterbury. Both local con- panies of militia were called out ana for 24 hours the city was under martial law. but no further fires occurred. Neither was any trace ever discovered as to the identity of the person or persons who set the bla1es.
 The country at the time was On the verge Of breaking off its rela- tions with Germany and all attention was focused on the increasing possi- bility of war. There was great trou- ble, but it all seemed far off ana New Britain was discussing the situ- alton with detachDent and relish- ing its own security. Thus all was peaceful at halt past five in the afternoon as the city contemplated the celebrating of Waahington's Birthday on the morrow.
 Ten minutes later Officer Charles Johnson had discovered fire in The Parisian, women's apparel shop on East Main street and the terrible evening had begun. The firem n upon arriving found two fires burn ing in opposite ends of the cellar. but they were able to extinguisn them before the damage had mount ed above $200. They returned to headquarters. only to be called out again when flames broke out again in the same establishment.
 Just before 6:3O o'clock came an- other call which summoned them to the fruit store of Albert Lose across East Main street from the carrier fire. Here paper bags had been piled in the cellar and ignited, show ing incendiarism. The flames broke into the neighborlng establishment of Herman Schmarr and caused . total damage of about $500.
 A diversion was created at 6:l5 when the bottom fell out of an oil heater in the residence of '.John Pinches on Emmons place. The loss was negligible. but this fire, the only one which seems to have been caused by anything other than in. cendiarism, was later responsible for the panic which resulted from the belief that the firebuss were ex- tending their operations to the resi- dential district.
 Every piece of apparatus in the city was "ow in use. but suddenly word w ought to the fire fight ers that 9 Reynolds blocks at Commercial and Center streets were efire. The late T.. M. Dame, who was chief of the fire department at that time. hastily detached . por-

ton of his forces and sent them to
 the new blase. which proved one
 of the most serious of the evening.
 The warehouse on the corner was gutted and great quantities of pota- toes and other foodstuffs were de- stroyed, while the neighboring tene-
 ment house was badly damaged by
 dames which leaped the narrow gap between tho structures.
 There was a welcome pause in the breaking out of new fires at this time. and 1t proved most well come. as the department was taxed beyond its power at the Reynolds and the preceding firek But just be- fore s o'clock flames were seen shooting skyward from behind the Beloin hotel and the Herald office.
 fhe sheds of the New Britain Ice Corp. located In the rear of these were aflame. and hay and sawdust were burning like finder. An ill-spared portion of the fire men were hurried to the latest fire. and calls were sent for help from neighboring cities. The fire in the ice corporation for while threaten ed the line of blocks on Church street. and employees. policemen. Boy Scouts. and bystanders joined in carrying out everything that was moveable, but at last the fire was put under control.
 Before this happened word came that the synagogue of the Congre- gation Sons of Israel at Chestnut and Elm street was afire. Here chairs were found piled in the basement. but the firemen were on the scene early and the damage was kept down to &100.
 Three pieces of apparatus from Hartford and one from Plainville were now in the city and they were called upon immediately when Hatch,s block at Main and Frank lin square was discovered in flames. This fire seemed to have been re- served as q fitting climax to the series. and 1t took tho combined ef- forts of the departments of five cities to hold it in check. The Elmer Automobile Co.,. the auto agencies of F. j.. Zimmerman and c. A. Bence. Strom's florist shop. the Eagle phar- macy, and the Franklin confection- cry store were burned out, the c. J. White factory on the second floor was damaged, the total loss being about s25.ooo.
 Small fires were found in the of Lsddy's cafe on Church street and other places but were put out without killing the har- assed firemen. Mayor George A. Quigley hurriedly communicated with Governor Marcus H. Holcomb I and then summoned Cos. E and of the militia. All regulars and su- pernumerary policemen were put on active duty by Chief William J. Rawlings, and stores and factories had responsible employees sworn in as special policemen to keep watch of their properties.
 Several suspects were arrested. and the mob was inclined to vio- lence. One man. nabbed as he slid under . ladder truck on Main street, came near to being badly handled by crowd which insisted that he be hanged from the South church steeple. All of these suspects were subsequently, released. A re-

He pointed to trade associations as

problems of the industry can only
