C. Z. Thompson, County Clerk and Recorder,
Arrived At Fort Benton Mont, Fifty Years
Ago Tuesday; Tells of Long Trip Up Riuer

ward to was the mountains. One
day the captain called me and
pointed over the landscape. Far
in the distance in a dull haze
could see the faint outline Of an
immense mountain"
Thompson told of several hun
tiers leaving the boat before they
had crossed the present Montana
boundary line and started overland
on a buffalo hunting trip. The
river at this point made a huge
bend, making a total distance of
forty miles which the boat had to
travel, while overland it was only
seven miles. When the boat reach
ed the opposite side there stood the
hunters with their buffalo.
In describing the boat and equip
ment, Thompson stated that wood
was used for fuel and at certain
intervals the boat would stop at
fueling yards and load up. "Squaw-
men" cut practically all the wood,
Thompson said, and the deckhands,
which numbered about forty, would
pack it abroad. The squaws in the
meantime were busy trading deer
and buffalo hides for ammunition
and supplies for their camps along
the river.
Considerable difficulty was en-
countered, Thompson said, in COM
ing up stream, on account of the
numerous sand bars and rapids
One of the systems used in TAX
ing the boat over the rapids, he
described, was by means of the
crew burying heavy post (called
a dead-man) in the bank above
the rapids, and tying heavy rope
to the boat, and with windlass
operated by machinery were able
to pull the boat over the rapids
so it could navigate under its own
power.
There Were a large number of
boats on the river during these
years, he added They would leave
Fort Benton and, go back to Mis-
souri, in about a week, but the trip
up stream required about three
weeks in favorable weather.

JOE NAGLICH GETS
PARDON FOR MURDER
AT BEARCREEk IN 1928

HELENA = Joe Naglich, serv-
ing a life prison sentence for the
murder of Frank Brown in Bear
creek in 1923, was pardoned Mon
day by the state board of pardons.
The petition for Naglich's re-
cease contained more than 100
names, and was started by seven
jurors in the case and the judge
who presided at the trial.
Argument presented to the board
stated Brown came into the place
where Naglich was acting barten-
der and abused him. Brown made
threatening move, petition
ers contended, and Naglich struck
him with a gun. In doing so the
gun was discharged, Wounding the
man fatally.

being located about twenty miles
south of Helena. Jefferson City
had q population at that time Of
approximately 500 people, although
there were fifteen saloons in the
town. His father was engaged in
burning charcoal for one of the
shelters for several years. Young
Thompson acquired his early day
education in this mining town, lat
er attending school in Helena.
ut was not an unusual sight for
one to see a pile of playing cards
in front of the larger saloons in
Jefferson City piled up over four
feet deep in the street where they
had been swept out. Gambling was
wide open and in the mining town
they often ran game "a hours
steadily. Poker games were run
ming continually" Thompson said.
"One Of the early day incidents |
remember well, that happened soon
after Dad and | went to Jefferson
City, was when we went down to
Helena to attend a fair, and there
| saw one-legged man. He called
me over and said, kid, have you
got any money! land | Of course
replied in the affirmative that /
had a little. He drew out a ten
dollar bill and said, Blow it in and
have a good time That shows
what the generosity of Montana
was like in early days"
In 1892 Thompson returned to
Missouri for short time, and
upon returning to Montana he To-
Gated in Helena, where he was en-
ployed as a railroad brakeman and
fireman on the Northern Pacific.
In 1903 he came to Bridger, two
years later he married Goldie
Gebo, daughter of one of the early
day pioneers in the Red Lodge dis
trict. Her uncle, Henry Gebo, now
q resident Of Red Lodge, was one
of the first settlers in the Bear
tooth district Thompson was post
master in Bridger for IL years and
spent five years in the mercantile
business. During the campaign of
1920 he was elected county clerk
and recorder of Carbon county, and
was renominated by a large major
ity at the recent primary election
on the Republican ticket.
