They camped one day near the present
site of Red Lodge. While there they
picked up some chunks of coal in the
water III the region where coal mines
were afterwards developed.
One day while camping in the brush
near a creek they saw some moccasin
tracks. Afraid that Indians were en-
deavoring to run off their horses, they
started back the next morning. Soon
after they started they heard shooting
for an hour or so but did not know
what it was for a day or SO afterWard.
They were only three or four miles
away from the battle and it wa their
opinion that the moccasin print they
saw was that of an advance scout Of
the Bannacks.
Later they fell in with some of the
wagons Of Buells outfit. The roads
were so heavy from the rains that
some Of the wagons sank in to the
hubs, greatly delaying the progress of
the soldiers. Buell. had come from
Fort Custer, crossing the Clark's Fork
south of Laurel in trying to head of
the Bannacks.
A year or two afterWard Mr.. Young
and some other me- were at the scene

and dug up two boxes Of ammunition
Of a thousand rounds each for cavalry
guns. These had apparently been
packed one on each side of a pack
horse but had been abandoned after
the battle, probably in tightening the
load Of some horse or wagon.
The Indians had camped at what
vas known as the Big Bend of the
Clark's Fork about three miles below
Pet OHara creek. Some clumps of
willow brush were on the inner side
Of a bend at a cut bank and the Indi-
ans had camped among the willows.
There was considerable rough ground
in front of the camp.
The prompt action of the military
forces probably halted serious trouble.
The settlers were undisturbed and
many of them did not know of the
Bannack incursion until the danger
was past.

from Fort Keogh to other forts. The
Indians generally were quiet and Miles
combined pleasure with business by a
reconnaissance of the territory under
his command, including a visit to Vel
lowstone park. With him were mem
bers Of his family, the whole party
consisting of five ladies and three chill
dren, as well as 10 officers and 100
men.
When they arrived at the Rosebud
river they followed up the stream, re-
tracing Clusters route across to the
Little Big Horn, At the battlefield,
Miles recounts in his "reminiscences"
several prominent actors of the part
of the hostiles. whom he had brought
with him, recounted the details of the
onslaught upon Clusters band, for his
benefit.
Keeping on in q leisurely way along
the Yellowstone river, the party had
almost reached the park when Miles
was informed that a band of the Ban
nacks who were ON the warpath in
southern Idaho, had broken away and
were going through Yellowstone park,

Telling some historical facts about
starting of the Montana Pick and
Pillow, T. B. Gray, treasurer OF Gallatln
county in early days, later a teacher
in Bozeman schools, wrote from Berke-
ley soon before his death in 1921 to
a former pupil, Mrs. E. l.. Houston OF
Bohemian, that he was in Virginia City
as treasurer of Gallatin county to settle
with the territorial auditor when he
met H. N. Mcguire, who wanted TO go
to Bozeman and start a newspaper,
but he had no money. He accompanied
Mr.. Gray home and they raised $1,000
from A. Lamme, Bud Meadow, S. j.
Beck, w. w. Anderson, Charles Rich
and Gen. L. S. Wilson to pay Tor ma
terial to start the paper. Down the
valley they raised $500 more from M
w. Penwell, L. M. Howell, John Culver,
Phillip Thorpe and others, these men
receiving shares of stock for their sub
scriptions. The machinery and equip
ment we're obtained and the paper
started Dec. 81, 1869.
Funds were needed to carry on the
paper and the publishing company
gave a grand ball Feb. %, 1870, Mr.
Gray reporting selling tickets for 81
and thus raising STAG that helped, with
subscriptions and advertising, to con-
tinue publication a little more than a
year longer, when it was suspended.

SQUAW SADDLE
IS in MUSEUM
ONLY ONE OF MANY ARTICLES IN
BROWNING SCHOOL EXHIBIT
CONTRIBUTED BY INDIANS
Was Made and Used BY Grandmother
of Medicine Boss Ribs, Aged Black
feet Indian, and Was Handed Down
to His Mother as Heirloom, He Says.

Last year after the Browning mid
winter fair a number of the exhibits
from the booth Of Indian things
were shipped by 1. ID. ODOnnell to
the Billings museum. During the fair,
in several of his talks at the Brown
ing fair, MI. ODonnell mentioned
the fact that there are many things
worthy of a place in an exhibit cabi-
net and he called attention to the
fact that Browning has permitted
many such valuable old relics to be
sold and carried away. He urged
the people to start gathering relics
for a little museum, which for a time
might be kept in the public school
building.
Soon a large exhibit cabinet appeared
in the hall of the school. In the dis
play is a little old 'squaW saddle"
which was donated after word was
passed that there is a place for such
Valuables. It is covered with rawhide
stretched tightly over a frame. The
rawhide is sewed with sinew and in
several places where the covering has
frightened the sinew stitches have
pulled out, showing the forks. On
both front and rear are elk horns.
These are taken from the horn where
the prong forked from the main horn
and the two ends are tied to the
wooden base, or back piece, which is
rounded on the bottom side to fit the
back Of the horse. The horns were
SO chosen that the upper part OF the
forks protrude front and back, form
ing the horn and cantle of the old
saddle.
When the old saddle vas brought In
the nam Of the donor was not taken
and inquiry has been made from time
to time and from many people so that
the history might be known. 1t has
just been learned that Medicine Boss
Ribs was the owner. He said his
grandmother, Snail Woman, made il
and gave it to his mother, Vol
Woman. When asked his age, Medi-
cine Boss Ribs replied, Il was a yeal
old when the first treaty was made
He was then asked if he referred tx
the treaty Of 1855, and he said, Eyes
and how old am l now?" He was tole
his age and he replied, "Ex-e-sum-o e
long long time) when / was a little
boy I knew that saddle and when my
mother travelled she always used it
When she died of old age she left i
with me. / gave it to the school fol
that is a good place to keep it, an1
others will like to look at it,"

RECORDS
HELENA OF 1888
BOOK IN "LOCK-UP CASE" OF HIS
TORICAL LIBRARY TELLS OF
CAPITAL 40 YEARS AGO
There Were Only Two Teachers In
High School at That Time and Many
of City's Large Buildings Had MOI
Yet Been Erected.

Development of Montana and Hell
ena in the last two score years Is
graphically pictured by comparison
of conditions today with those pic
tured in a volume, Helena, Illus
trated," published in 1883 by the
Helena board of trade and unearthed
from the "lock-up case" at the his
torical library. Contents of the "lock-
up CASE which contains especially
valuable volumes and historic data,
are being catalOgued.
Perusal of the volume shows that the
new st. Johns hospital had been con-
structed but four years and that st.
Peters hospital was only n year old
at the time of publication. st. Peters
hospital then consisted OF the portion
now in use for the nurses home. The
Catholic church consisted OF a building
on Catholic hill south of the court
house, as the Cathedral Of st. Helena
was yet undreamed of.
Methodists were preparing to erect q
stone church building at Broadway
and Ewing to replace a frame building
at the same location. Steps we're being
taken by the Montana Methodist con-
ference to found a university at Hell
ena. This later became Montana Wes-
leyan and still later Intermountair
Union college.
New Church Planned
The Presbyterian church vas a brick
structure at Ewing and Fifth, but plans
were being made by the congregation
to erect a new building, probably the
one now at Ewing and Eleventh. Bap-
lists and Congregationalists worshippeC
in large brick churches but the He
brews rented a hall as Temple Emanu-
ell had not been constructed. The South
Methodist was a meat frame" building
on Warren street. A mission schoo
for Chinese was conducted in thu
council chambers by the united
churches.
Schools were supported entirely BY
direct taxation, it being pointed gu
that the 5000, 900 acres of school lane
would not be available for supper
of public schools until the territor.
became a state.
Central school consisted of min,
rooms; the First ward school o
two rooms; the Fifth ward school O
five rooms; the Sixth ward school o
two rooms, with plans for an imme
diate addition; and the Seventh ware
school was a two-room structure.
Two Teachers at High
There were two teachers in the higl
school and the present building wa
not erected for three or four NOR
years. They were E. A. Carleton an
Mrs. M. S. Cummings. G. L. Howar'
was superintendent Among the grad
teachers was Ida Fullerton, the onl
one who taught that year who is still
on the staff.

suficient, any more than can any other
nation. There was O time in pioneer
days, when the family was sufficient to
itself. Clothes, food and supplies were
all produced and made at home. But
what a low standard of living there
was; that is, where it applied to creature
comforts. Nations are in the same po-

pioneer days. but this policy of intense

the American myth of isolation is doing
more to hold the world back than any
