With all but two of the National

rested upon the double clash OF the
Yankees and the Athletics in Phila-

the runners-up in the first two-thirds
of what some deem a crucial series.

was John Buchanan of Kalida, Ohio.
For some time the Montana Post was
alone in the journalistic field, trying
to cater equally to republicans and
democrats, but unconsciously favoring
the former. Then the Gazette made
its bow to the public under the guild
ance of Mr.. Wilkinson and Major
Roman. Now the fight was on, with
the usual rivalry between the organs
Of opposing parties. Politics, however,
paled before local contributions. We
find the following in the Post-a letter
received by N. P. Langford.

night of Sunday, June II, 1881, the
loading of the Indians who had been
held captive at Fort Keogh had begun.
There were mutteringS Of discomfort,
murmurs of fear as the squaWS led
their children aboard the boats and
exhibitions of hesitation on the part
OF the braves as they were inclined to
resist and turn upon their tormentors.
Spotted Eagle cautioned against resis-

piled and with slow step walked over
the gang plank that extended from the
bank to the floor of the steamer BY
the hour of four on the following Mon
day morning everything was in readi-
ness. The fleet moved out into the
broad waters of the Yellowstone river
headed toward the east. The water
was running high. 1t was estimated
that the trip to the Standing Rock
agency would be completed in about
three days.
The sur was rising higher with a
smile to greet the joyous welcome of a
warm June day. 1t was greeted by the
sullen countenances of a captive peo-
pie who were leaving the ancient homes
established by their ancestors to cast
their lot in the midst of alien scenes.
There were no spoken farewells, just
the stole acceptance of a fate which
the captives had not dreamed would be
theirs.

Indians was considered to be a bad
policy. 1t was felt that they would
not be able to reconcile themselves to
their new surroundings on the Stand
ing Rock agency; that in their dissat-
isfaction they would struggle off again
and return in numbers to the territory
that they considered theirs by right of
ancient occupation by their f%orebears,
and opposed, would again resort to at
tacks on the white settlers.
1t was learned from Maj. Guido
Ilges, commandant at the time at Fort
KeOgh, that the census taken showed
there were LIP Sioux Indians who
were taken away on the steamers to
the distant agency.
Further evidence of the departure Of
the Indians who had been held captive
was given at the time in the publish
ing of an announcement of the sale
Of Indian cattle. Samuel w. Miller,
second lieutenant of the Fifth Infantry,
caused to be published an advertise
ment to the effect that forty head Of
cattle belonging to the Indians lately
removed to the Standing Rock agency
will be disposed of at public auction on

IN THE left hand side of the dimly
lighted corridor in the state house
v thai leads to the rooms now devOt-
ed to the historical library, a small
press may be seen enclosed in a glass
case. This is the press, it is believed
which Francis M. Thompson brought
to Bannack in 1863. On it was printed
the first paper in what is now Mon
tana-then eastern Idaho.
Although the Montana Post was the
first newspaper to be published regu-
larry in the territory, it was preceded
by the Bannack News Letter in Feb
ruary, 1864, the first issue of which was
also the last. Ben Dittes printed the
first sheet of the News Letter in the
presence of John A. Creighton and Col
onel Sanders, and it was regarded as a
noteworthy event.
Later, the press followed the general
exodus from Bannack to Virginia City,
where it was lost to sight for many
years, a larger press superseding it.
1t remained for w. w. Chiefly to run
across it liz a back room of the Madison
ian quarters and bring it to light. On
hearing its history, Mr.. Chiefly felt it
was OF historic value, and that it
might be preserved, presented it to the
Montana Historical society. Thus the
press brought to Montana in 1863 by
Mr.. Thompson, rests in the historical
library, the organization of which was
accomplished in the first territorial leg
islature, through a bill introduced by
this same Mr.. Thompson.
Certainly no pioneer vas more de-
serving Of recognition By the state he
helped to found than Judge Francis M.
Thompson.
He it was who designed the seal of
the state; his money helped to finance
the government here until congress
could vote us the required appropria-
ton; as before noted, he also sponsored
the bill for a Historical society, thus
giving us a unique position among the
SisterhoOd Of states, none other having
organized such a society so far as l
know, at its first legislative session.
Always active in promoting the adj
vancement Of the territory, his upright
life earned him the respect of all who
came to know him.
Believing that Judge Thompson we'll
merited recognition from the state he
helped to found, and learning that he
would appreciate a degree from the
University of Montana, / suggested to
a member of the committee having
such matters in charge, that this be
given him. The committee consulted
a pioneer whose remarkable memory
made him an authority on all pertain
ing to pioneer days, and this man said
he did not know Judge Thompson, al
though he must have sold him sup
plies when he was returning from Cal
ifornia.
Without looking further into the
claims OF Judge Thompson, the matter
was dropped. This coming to the
knowledge of the pioneers, they were
about to renew the movement favoring
a degree for the judge when word ar
rived Of his death at his home in
Greenfield, Mass.
He had written the "reminiscences Of
his life in Montana. The manuscript
was lost but later must have been re-
covered, judging from the interesting
volume bearing his name published
since his death.

difficulties of travel through the re-
gion. Expeditions against the Indians
were handicapped because Of trouble in
crossing the streams. Trains Of set
tiers could proceed across the plains
only at considerable risk unless the
expeditions were delayed until well
along in the summer.
The Indians with their bull -bOats
we're able to cross streams with a dis
patch that was the envy of the white
soldiers. At the time Of the Stanley
expedition in 1873, Custer comments
on the fact that while the troops had
to abandon efforts to cross the Yellow
stone in pursuit of the Sioux, the In
dams re-crossed the river for an at
tack and then withdrew again.
Accounts of trains of emigrants COM
ing into Montana as well as other west
en- territories abound with reports of
accidents in crossing streams. The
trails crossed the streams at fords but
changes in the bed of the stream or,
more often, bungling drivers caused
accidents which sometimes resulted In

to their own country. When years
afterWard Scott was commander at
West Point, he had the engineer stu
dents taught problems that included
some of the things he had learned in
following Indians across swollen
streams in Montana. Among other
things, punches of cadets were sent
across the Hudson in boats made to
conform to the principal of the bull
boats, SO successfully used by the In
dams.
Unlike the earlier towns along the
Yellowstone, Billings was built a mile
or more away from the river and has
never had the menace of the water in
vading its streets. Items about Miles
City floods appeared in Billings papers
with appropriate comments on the fact
that Billings was free from such vista
tiOns.
In the spring of 1887, Billings had its
nearest approach to a flood within the
city when a small stream or slough ran
along about where the Great Northern
switch tracks are now located. There
were a few residences then north of the
slough, which was crossed by means of
small hand-bridges and one bridge for
horses.
The long, cold winter, the most dis
aStrOuS IN Lne RECORDS OF Montana,
came to a sudden close with a chinook
which made the deep SHOWS disappear
as If by magic. The slough was quickly
transformed into a raging torrent. A
grocery boy who was delivering orders
on the other side Of the stream could
not get back as the waters took out the
bridges. The men from the homes on
the opposite side, who were down town
during the day, found themselves
marocned and were obliged to find
quarters elsewhere for the night.
BY the next morning the stream
could be waded. A favorite story of
the incident is that Judge O. F. God
dard, who resided across the slough,
borrowed a pair OF rubber boots to get
home. He waded across safely but in
throwing the boots back to a man on
the other side, n of them fell in the
water and was carried away.
