take from its hiding place.
Then Young waited in hiding until
the train he wanted was due. 1t was q
summer night and he crawled over the
water tank of the locomotive and with
two drawn revolvers forced the engine
crew to break the train. The express car
was carried a mile down the track and
he took the engineer back to the express
car
Three charges of powder were placed
on the safe to break 1t open. Everything
was going good with the young bandit,
who had the two revolvers strapped to
his wrists. The engineer and the express
messenger were in the car with MIN, but
both held at bay. From the old lights
in use at that time, there was a flicker
a shadow crossed the floor Of the
car.
young looked alertly around and as
he did SO his temporary prisoners struck
him down with some of the debris frota
the dynamiting. Both the engineer and
the expressman struck at him with what
ever they could lay their hands upon.
Before Young knew what had happened
he was tied up and on the way TO Drum
mond where he was turned over to an
officer to be sent to the county jail at
Philipsburg.
AT tina time the Northern Pacific had
@ standing reward for the capture OF
train noldups n in this case 1t was di-
vided between the engineer, George VIII
son. and the express messenger, George
Loeb.
Young came up for trial and pleaded
guilty TO the charge, but his counsel was
to make a plea for clemency. However
the judge wal severe on train robbers
and gave Young the maximum sentence
for train robbery, which had beer
changed by the legislature to so years
Within a short time he was on his way
to the state penitentiary.

tribes and small armed bands made flying
incursions into enemy territory to pillage
and steal in spite Of the efforts of the
government to stop the practice for some
time after the Indians had become COM
parative friends with the white people.
One Of the long standing feuds among
the Indians of the northwest was be-
tween the Crows and Blackfeet. During
most of the decade between 1880 and
1890. there were frequent illusions in
the papers of the time to Blackfeet or
the allied Bloods and Piegans making
aid on the Grow reservation or of bands
of young Crows who started out or were
returning from expeditions into north
ern Montana against their ancient
enemy.
The enmity between the Crows and
C%heyennes on one hand and the Sioux
ON the other which led the Crows to ally
themselves with the whites, was of later
origin and resulted from the pushing of
these tribes into Grow territory as the
Sioux were crowded westward and the
~Cheyennes northward by the encroaching
settlers.
The Crows on the other hand had
quite friendly relations with the more
western tribes. especially the Bannacks,
who frequently visited them. While the
crow gave the soldiers some aid in the
Nez Perez trouble in 1877 and the Ban
mack affair in 1878, 1t was more the OPP
portunity to pillage from the invaders
than from any enmity that induced them
to Join the attack. While some of the
Crows accompanied the soldiers against
the Nee Perces others gave the Nez Perces
valuable information about the country
they were traversing.
Raid Plenty Coas' Rauua
In February. 1885, a band of five Pie
gan Indians made q raid into Crow ter
ritory and drove off SO head of horses
belonging to Chief Plenty Coos and also
some stock belonging to white men near
Plentywood herald. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1908-current, 1928-04-06

Park City A party Of seven white men
pursued them n caught up with them
near Painted Robe creek in the Hailstone
basin, about 40 miles northwest Of Bill
lings. The settlers made a rash attack
and lost two men killed and two wound
ed. Fortunately. Plenty Coos and several
other Crows who had also taken the trail
came up in time to turn the tide and
four of the Piegans were killed while the
fifth was wounded and managed to es-
cape. The horses were recaptured with
those owned by the dead Piegans.
Gust Anderson, a veteran conductor
Of the Northern Pacific, tells of an in
cident in which by furnishing transpor-
tation to O band of Crows, he thwarted
a Piegan raid and earned himself a scalp
lock. While working as a freight con-
ductor, he often stopped to give a group
of Indians a lift on a coal gondola. One
day he met a small party of Crows afoot
near the Big Horn tunnel. They said
that a party Of Piegan Indians had stolen
all their horses. They wanted to ride
with him and overtake the Piegans and
get their horses back. So Anderson load
ed them In and took them to a small
creek near where Worden now is, after
passing the Piegans on the way.
The Crows hid along the creek near
where their foes would likely pass, while
the train stopped where the crew could
watch developments. Soon the Crows
began firing from ambush while the Pie
gans could be seen scurrying away hang
ing to the sides of their horses. The
crew was unable to see the ina outcome
but a few days later the Grow chief
stopped them again and said that they
had recaptured their horses and taken
most of those of the Piegans of whom
they had killed several. The chief then
handed him a scalp-lock about a foot
long and decorated with beads which he
was made to understand was a present
for his aid.
Swordbearer Trouble in 1887
The S~wordbearer trouble among the
Crows in 1887 grew out Of a successful
raid which ~Swordbearer and a party Of
% young braves made against the Pie
gans. They returned with go stolen
horses, There was q general celebration
which the Indian agent in an indiscreet
way brought to al end by arresting the
raiders on a charge of horse stealing.
Some of the Indians attacked the agency
buildings and fired into the suffers store
and tried in other ways to give the au-
thorities the scare of their lives. 1t was
finally necessary to call in troops and
S~wordbearer and several of his hot
blooded followers were killed before or
der was restored.
An item in the Billings Post of the
early spring of 1884, says, There is great
excitement among the Sioux at the Fort
Peck agency over the killing of a squaw
by a party of Crows on a horse stealing
expedition. The Sioux, however, have
few arms n ammunition and are not
likely to retaliate. Good results will fol-

low, for the Sioux will not likely cross
the Missouri this season as they know
the Crows are we'll armed, and there will
not be so many cattle killed" While
decrying these forays, the Billings people
were evidently well pleased when their
Grow neighbors got the best of an en-
counter.
A band of Cree Indians in 1885 made
a raid into the Crow reservation n
drove off a number Of horses. A band of
Crows followed them at a safe distance
and stopping at Junction City at the
mouth of the Big Horn, then quite a
frontier town, made night hideous with
their war dances and beating of tom
toms in working themselves into a war
like frame of mind.
A posse of cowboys and old Indian

fighters gathered and also struck out in
pursuit and pushing ahead of the more
cautious Crows, they came upon the re-
treating band in a coulee along the Mus
selshell. With the party was the re-
doubtable Liver Eating" Johnson and
other hardy characters. The Crees lost
three or fou killed. about a third of
the party, and abandoned most of their
booty in getting away.
A warning which appeared In several
papers in the spring of 1886 was evil

their riders be on their guard. Take no
chances with unknown Indians but let

man ac gises. AS the Indians on the raids
travelled mainly by night, they would
take full advantage of the moonlight
periods.
A cowboy about the same time was
travelling over the prairie when he saw
a bunch of riders driving some horses.
Thinking they were cattlemen, he drove
up close, according to an item in the old
Billings Post. The Indians were so

The Facts of
The Plumbing Contract

Since Mr.. Larson, in his uncalled for attack
upon me, has given to the people misleading state
ments concerning a certain Plumbing Contract, it is
only fair and right that the public know the truth
relative to same.
Mr.. Howard Brasen of Miles City entered into a
contract with the Board of County Commissioners of
McCone county to install the plumbing in the county
hospital. Before the completion Of his contract he
died suddenly while in Miles City after supplies from
his mothers shop. His foreman, Mr.. Miles, inform
ed the board that Mrs. Brasen, Howard Brasen's
mother, would see that the contract was completed as
soon as the funeral was over. She had the work done
and authorized the Board to pay the money to Mr..
Miles, as her agent. She stated, in a letter to the
Board, that she needed the money as soon as the
work was completed to pay her sons funeral expen-
ses and the labor bill incurred in the installation of
the plumbing.
The contract was completed between sessions of
the board, and as is customary in cases of this nature,
being requested by other members of the Board to
look after this particular work, | O. K.-ed the claim
Mrs. Brasen got her money.
MI. Larson tries the case and pronounces judy
ment against the taxpayers of McCone county with
out ever knowing or caring what the facts are.
The County Commissioners have no idea or in
-ention of paying this bill twice but they do realize
it would please Mr.. Larson immensely for them
% have to do so.

BOTTLE MESSAGE
IS FOUND AT SEA
Purports to Have Been Written
BY Amundscn

London. Aug. II UP)-A mes
sage found in a bottle off Rottum-
eroog. Rottumsland. now il be-
isved in some sources to have been
left by Road Amundsen. the arctic
explorer who was lost in an attempt
to find the crew of the diriglble
Italia.
A dispatch TO the Daily Mail
from the Hague said that the Nor
wegian consul there he'd examined
the message closely, compared the
writing with that of Amundsen, ana
had reached the belief the message
YES genuine.
The message read:
Latham. July /. 1928, 81 degrees
- minutes east. Road Amundsen.
The message was found Sunday.
Rottumeroog is IN the North sea
And the bottle would have had to
drift many miles to have reached
Rottumeroog provided the position
f1ven by Amundsen was correct.
1t is recalled that Amundsen
with Commandant Rene Guilbaud,
Lieutenant Lief Dietrichsen and
three others departed from from

expected to fly directly 20 the No
