OLD NEWS STORY
TO AID VETERAN
ITEMS PUBLISHED IN ROCKY
MOUNTAIN HUSBANDMAN
IN 1877

Two newspaper personals, appear
ing in the Rocky Mountain Husband
man, published in the historic boom
town of Diamond City in 1877, sup
port claims of Eugene Meyers Of Hell
n for q special pension, which he
is attempting to procure In congress.
The items were unearthed at the re-
quest Of the Montana senator by
David Hilger, state historical librar-
ian.
In August, 1877, Meyers, at the or
der OF Gov. Benjamin F. Potts, fourth
territorial governor of Montana, rode
horseback from Helena to the Mussel-
shell valley to warn a surveying party
of an uprising of the Nez Perez Indians.
His ride saved the lives of the survey
ors.
On the trip Meyers suffered a knee
injury which has incapacitated him
since. He was accompanied on the
hazardous journey by Edward B. Bun
nell.
The local column of the Diamond
City paper Aug. 30, 1877, reads:
ED BOnnell and Eugene Meyers of
Helena arrived here Tuesday evening
bringing the exciting news of the muir
der of the Helena and Radersburg
pleasure parties by the Nez Perez in
Yellowstone National park. They are
en- route for the Musselshell valley to
warn DeLacy and Kelloggs' surveying
parties Of the near approach of the
Indians. They were well mounted and
provided with field notes which would
enable them to go direct"
They also drew comment from the
press on their return trip. The second
item appeared Sept. 10, 1877.
Eugene Meyers and E. B. Bonnell
who went to the Musselshell valley tc
warn the surveying parties of DeLacy
and Kellogg of the approach of the
hostiles, returned last week. They found
the surveyors at work on q tract OF
country along the base of the Crazy
mountains, on the tributaries of the
Sweet Grass and the American fork
They report this the finest game coun-
try they ever saw, say the buffaloes
are very numerous and so tame that q
horseman can ride within so PAGES OF
them without their taking fright"
An affidavit, containing the two
stories and atteSted to by Mr.. Hilger
will be sent to Washington.
When n cub reporter in Diamond
City interviewed. the two men on Their
return trip he missed the feature of the
story. Chased by hostile Nez Perces
on their return, Meyers horse fell anc
he suffered the injury to his knee in
that fall which has since troubled him
Bonnell drew up his mount and aid
ed Meyers In climbing back into his
saddle and the two men made Their
escape, although they we're chased anc
shot 1t by the Indians for miles.

WILL USE PLANE
TO CARRY GOLD
PLACER MINE WHICH HAS BEEN
OPERATED IS YEARS TO
INCREASE OUTPUT

Hughes Creek, the old gold placer
mining camp south Of Darby where.
mining activities have been carried
on during the summer months for
more than IS years, is again to be
the scene of strenuous activity this
year, according to the plans Of Jack
Hastings, owner and operator.
Modern improvements, however, will
take the place of the old gold plan and
sluice boxes and instead Of the long
slow journey that was required years
ago to reach the mine, the trip will be
made by airplane and there will be no
delay in the matter of repairs and sup
plies.
The new operators Of the old Hughes
Creek mine are going In for all that
IL Is worth and expect to operate using
three steam shovels and a powerful
hydraulic to get the gold. A landing
field Is being built at the mine and 1T
is rumored that the gold will be trans
ported. In the airplane as well as the
use it will be put to in securing repairs
to keep the machinery running.
In the old days when the late George
Ward operated the Hughes Greek mine,
the industry afforded alluring employ
ment for many people during the sum-
mer season. Mr.. Ward knew the value
of gold and he knew alo the JOY OF
possessing it and because Of his gener-
Gus nature he humoreG the ladies who
lived in his camp and gave them all
the gold that they could dig from the
cracks Of his sluice boxes with a hair
pin. Even a small gold nugget was
worth working q long time for, SO the
hairptn gang was as faithful as any
other.
r. d. Fieldhouse has been employed
by Mr.. Hastings as pilot. Mr.. Field

DrummOnd In q storm.

the river at that season of the year.
Bob Lennon was in charge of the
caravan from the trading post, which
had six teams, n of horses, one Of
mules and the others Of oxen.
At Milk river, there was a small
stockade where the company had a few
men on guard. The out trip was made
without incident but on the return
trip, with loaded wagons, their troubles
began. While out hunting to supply
the camp, a French-Canadian named
Cadotte was gored by a buffalo bull.
Badly injured, he was carried in the
back OF a wagon over the Jolting trails
but eventually recovered.
A few days later a large band of
eros Ventres and Assiniboine Indians
suddenly rode down upon them. AL
though the party was armed with Kent
rifles, the attack vas too sudden to
make resistance effective and it was
decided not to fire unless it was neces-
sary to save their lives. The Indians
rode up and started slashing the har-
ness from the backs of the freight
teams. One wagon was loaded with
whisky and this engaged the attention
of most of the Indians. Soon most Of
them were SO drunk that they did not
know what they were doing. One eros
Ventres rolled into the fire and burned
most Of his long hair off.
Pandemonium was general in the
camp. Prowling, drunken Indians tried
to disarm the men and to break into
their wagons and destroy the contents.
No sooner was n group pacified with
some gift until another quarrel broke
forth. Finally Lennon got some of
the chiefs to promise that if he would
leave behind a barrel of whisky the
wagon train would be permitted to go.
The men hastily repaired the harness
and, lifting out the whisky barrel, made
a hasty departure.
That night they urged their animals
as fast as it was possible to go, and
they did not stop to make camp until
they had travelled nearly 40 miles.
While they were in camp an Assini-
boine Indian rode up and told them
that a fight had taken place in the
Indian camp over the whisky and that
nine of the Indians had been killed,
THE Gros Ventres' hearts are very
bad" he told them and urged them to
hasten on. Although they had only
had a little rest, they resumed their
journey and continued their forced

About the same time the American
Fur company sold its interests to
Pierre Choteau and associates. Daw-
son, the factor, who had joined the
company many years before as a clerk,
returned to Scotland and devoted his
remaining years to hard drinking.
The lure of the west again brought
Allen to Montana in 1868. This time
however, he turned his steps to the up
per Yellowstone. With Ed Champin he
hunted and trapped the next winter
above the present Livingston. They
had their headquarters on Trail creek
but traversed a wide area in their
hunting. DR.. Muhlenberg built a house
near the Yellowstone about that time
and a Frenchman whose name had
been anglicized to Elbow was on Ell
bow creek.
During the two seasons that Allen
followed the kindred occupations of
hunter and trapper through this re-
glon, he first came to known William
T. Hamilton, who had already been on
the western frontiers for nearly 80
years. There began a friendship which
lasted until the older mans death in
1908.
Il was a tenderfoot to Hamilton in
those days. Allen once remarked when
talking of Uncle Billy" Hamilton. I'm
fact, l never quite got over being one
in his estimation" The body of Col
onel Allen now lies at rest not far
from the sandstone column in the
Columbus cemetery that marks the
place of interment of the elder from
tierSman.
In 1870 or 1871, Allen spent a month
or SO hunting and fishing within the
vast region, much of it still unex-
plored, which is now a part of Yellow
stone park. 1T was a real hunters
paradise at that time" Allen once re-
lated. Few of the Indians came into

not scouting for the army or engaged
in other enterprises until about 1880
when he set up an independent trad
ing store near Keyser creek, about a
mile above the present Columbus and
nearly opposite the mouth of the Still
water river. Here he continued until
the agency was moved from the Absar-
Okla location on the Saltwater to the
present Grow agency on the Little Big
Horn. He then started a notion and
tobacco store at Saltwater, now Column
bus.
The first agency buildings on Mis-
sion creek we're built of logs with two
bastions at the end for protection. Cap
tain Camp, an army officer, who was
the agent at the time, had a cannon
mounted in one Of the bastions. A few
months later the buildings burned. The
cannon was loaded and no one dared
stay in the neighborhood of the burn
ing agency for fear of the annon ex-
plOding, which in due course Of time
it did without hurting anyone.
The Sioux Indians made raids as far
UP as the agency every Summe and
there were few Of these raids without
some tragedy. Usually the victims were
travellers moving through the country
Singly or in small groups, or some
isolated rancher taken unawares. The
wary mountain men were more like
ly to escape but not always.
AS a trader, Allen came to know most
of the Grow Indians intimately. A few
years ago a middle-aged Indian named
Takes the Gun accosted Colonel AL
len. you, Grabs the Necklace" the
Indian said, giving also the Indian
name for the expression. Takes the
Gun then told the old trader that the
last time he had seen him was when,
because Of his knowledge of English. he
had been placed in charge OF a band
Of the Indians who were being removed
to the Little Horn Agency in 1884. The
Indians had stopped on their way at
Aliens trading store.
Takes the Gun also reminded him
Of a celebration of the Fourth of July
in which the Crows took part at Grey
Cliff, east of Big Timber in 1883. The
railroad was just building through
that section then and there was a train
at Grey Cliff at the time. Suddenly
in the midst of the horse racing and
the rivalry in firearm practice, the en-
CINE gave a Shrill blast of its whistle
The Grows dashed to their horses anc
in a few minutes they were out OF
sight in the neighboring hills and il
took much persuasion to convince then
that no harm vas intended.
The name GRABS the Necklace
came from an incident in which Aller
had interfered to save a young SquaV
from a beating by a jealous husband
The Indians at times gave the same
name to the trading post although il
was also referred to as Eagles Nest,
a general name given that locality.

never begin with them. Just an old

the hides back to the post by wagon.
There was an abundance of buffalo as
we'll as other game and the men had
their hands full keeping up with the
hunter. However, it was an excellent
opportunity to learn the crafts of the
wilds and the habits of the animals OF
the plains.

marches for several days. But they
finally got back TO the trading post
without any further encounters with
the Indians.
There was much freighting to be
done that season and Allen went along
as a guard on several other trips. King
and Gillette was then the principal
freighting outfit in the territory. The
gold rush greatly built up the freight
ing and also the river business as sup
plies were brought to Fort Benton and
then freighted overland to the mining
camps. At the end Of his enlistment
period, Allen returned to st. Louis.

The first permanent Indian agency
