his fathers death he came with his
mother to Montana in 1890. Soon
after three older brothers followed

valley. After bis mother passed away
he took up a homestead in the valley

this and made his home for some
years at Spirit Lake, Ida.

since made his home in Spokane,
where he passed away on Sunday. At
the time of death he lacked a few
days Of being So years old. He was

With light beyond the sun,
A land where dreams are ended,
New days, new works begun.

OLD INDIAN TELLS
WEIRD STORY OF
HIDDEN TREASURE

A weird tale of blood and treasure
1t is a story of fabulously rich gold
/ workings somewhere in the mountain
Businesses between Cooke City, Mont,
and Sheridan, Wyo. The territory is
days travel or less from the Vel
lowstone. The story, which goes back
, to the gold rush days of the west,
deals with the massacre of four pros
pectors and the wife of one of them
by band Of renegade Indian
'breeds a41 G tt..e lite murder Of
two Butte miners.
The story, as it falls from the lips
of a beady-eyed, cross breed Mexican
Cree and Crow Indian now "a years
old, seems to carry conviction to its
hearers, according to w. B. Hoerr, an
oil man, who has spent ye1rs among
the Indians and who is impressed with
the sincerity Of the tough old redskin
sinner who speaks of human killing
as indifferently as he would Of drown
ing a kitten.
If the story is true-and there are
some corrobarating circumstances
somewhere along the banks Of the
Little Big Horn there is a lost cabin
mine where one days work is enough
for load of groceries and two
week drunk" according to the calcu-
lation of the old warrior who boasts
that he was one of a party of breeds
who sent the little group Of prospect
ors to the happy hunting ground and
who killed with his own hands the
two Butte miners, because, he says,
they were trying to double-cross him.
THAT lost cabin mine is one the
whites will never steal from the In
dians," the half breed told Mr.. Hoerr. |
"They got everything else that we
had. The man who gets the secret
of this mine must play fair with me-"
The old half-breed in mellow mood,
recently told his story of the lost
mine to Mr. Hoerr at Browning, Mont
Robbed of its flourishes, the story
Of the lost cabin mine as related by
this mixed blood Indian follows:
In 1867, a group Of half-breed In
dians, who because Of their white
strain, had a keener appreciation of
the value of gold than had the red
men, came upon the little party of
who were taking out lib
eral quantities Of gold out Of the side
If hill above a stream.
The breeds attacked, killing four
men and one woman. A fifth miner
escaped, though badly wounded, and
made his way to Fort Phil Kearney,
where his wounds were treated.
The "breeds" piled the bodies of
he slain in the cabin and set fire to
he building. They filled up the holes
made by the prospectors, but on ac-
.ount of the manner in which the
luartz vein protruded from the bank,

The murderers were later on to be
riven into Canada, where they took

urvivor of the raiders is the teller of
his story.

Wiggenhorn also told of the work the
federation was doing in the way of
money for worthy young

five cents is placed in this fund each

are 5000 members this makes hand
some fund each year.

couple of white partners, each t.
share equally, but with the white mer
doing the mining.
The old half-breed guided the white
men to the mine, he states, pretend
ing the while that he did not under
stand but little English. After they
had examined the property he noticed
them exchange looks that indicated a
private understanding. His savage
mind alert, he excused himself from
the fire where the three had been
sitting and made his way with CON
siderable noise, down to the creek.
Then he crawled back as noiselessly
as a snake within hearing distance of
his white partners and heard them
brutally plot for his murder.
Before going further with his story
he took pains to learn whether he
would be prosecuted if he confessed
to killing years ago. Being assured
by the county attorney of the Brown

GARY COOPER'S
REAL ROMANCE

A reel" romance comes out of Hol-
lywood with the purchase of the old
home ranch by Gary Cooper, well
known film star and former Helena
boy.
Judge c. H. Cooper is back in Mon
tana attending to the repurchase Of
the old Cooper homestead on the Mis-
souri, river, west of Great Falls, in
cascade county. He is buying it back
from A. P. Hansen, into whose hands
II fell after 1t was foreclosed upon by
the sheriff some years ago.
The ranch is in the heart of the
Rocky mountains, in the Missouri
river canyon, north side of the river.
and consists of 229 acres. mostly
scenery in the shape of granite noun
talns, great cliffs, pine trees, open
places here and there, and a cluster
OF old log shacks scattered about a
small mountain stream.
The Missouri river at this point is
mountain trout stream, formed of
springs and mountain brooks, and fits
naturally into the surrounding
scenery. 1t was here that Gary Coon
er, dashing film hero, was raised.
learned to ride 'em cowboy, and to
dream the dreams that visit healthy
boy when summer comes.
Charley Cooper, father of Gary
was court reporter in the district
court at Helena and managed to keep
The ranch going, after fashion. Later
he was elected on the republican
ticket as associate justice OF the SUI
preme court of Montana, six-year
term.
n the meanwhile times kept on get
ting harder and harder on the
homestead. GarJ and Arthur. the .wo
Cooper sons, waded to educ ition
through mortgage and pass d out
of the Cooper picture-much to the
personal grief of Gary.
But Gary went to Hollywood and
made COOL in pictures.
Anyhow, Judge Cooper comes back
as agent of Gary Cooper, Paramount
Tim star, to buy back the old family
for $4,000.
1t IS different from the boys dream
of saving the old homestead, this
dary reality, but the homestead is
saved just the same-even if it isn't
20 much for the saving-and even If
9ary was too busy on location to ride
Jack on a coal black steed to do the
saving in person. But it is a boys
lream come true, and when it hap
'ens that way it is worth marking
oWn.
The old homestead of the Cooper
amily is not bought back SO much
or what may be raised there, for
title but trouble can be found on
ocation, but as matter of sentiment
and as probable location later for
lin work by some screen company
perhaps even the Paramount. For

When you have egg whites left
over after cooking. place them on
a plate and let dry. Scrape off
the crystals which have formed
and store them in jars. A table

equal one egg white and will heat

Left over fish can be made into
a dozen good dishes. SO it is more

small fish that is just enough.
