BLUE-EYED MOTORISTS MOST
NUMEROUS IN MINING CITY

Most Of Butte's automobiles belong
to blue-eyed people-or else the blue
eyed type is more law-abiding.
The percentage Of blue-eyed owners,
as compared with brown-eyed, is two
to one. AS compared with black-eyed
drivers the ratio is 104 to one. There
are about five times as many blue
eyed drivers as there are gray-eyed,
and more than six times as many as
there are hazel-eyed.
These facts are revealed In the first
200 auto driving permits issued by the
city treasurer.
There are in the permit total 104
blue-eyed drivers; 81 brown-eyed; 81
gray-eyed; II hazel-eyed, and one
black eyed driver. There is q wide
range of ages and employments, indi-
eating that blue eyes are not confined
to any particular line Of work.
The city hall attaches accept the fig
ures as proof that the Nordic type pre-
dominates In the Butte district and
not as an evidence Of greater obedience
to the law on the part of the blue
eyed, or lessar obedience on the part
of the black-eyed, N

says that her first born child, which
died shortly after she came to Coul-
son, was the first to be buried on the
hill where nearly 40 interments were
made from among the settlers of Coul-
son and early Billings.
John Schock, to whom the young
widow was married in April, 1881, was
a union soldier in the Civil war WHIP
came to the Gallatin valley shortly
after its close. At the time of CusterS
defeat in 1876, he was in charge of the
Ten Mile house, the first stage sta
ton east of Bozeman. 1t had first
been conducted by Dave Carpenter, who
was found one morning sitting under
a tree frozen to death. Schock was at
the station when Muggins Taylor rods
through to Bozeman with the news OK
Clusters death.
When Meadow came to Coulson from
Bozeman, John Schock was employed
by him at the store and sawmill and
finally took charge of the ferry IN
which he had a half interest.
The marriage of John Schock to
Mrs. Alice Reed is the first to be re-
corded in Yellowstone county files rs
taking place within the later confines
of the county, then a portion of Gus
ter. William Olmstead, a justice Of
the peace, performed the ceremony.
Mr.. Schock in after years took up a
homestead a short distance down thu
river from the old town where the
family lived long after Coulson was
reduced to a few abandoned buildings
Mr.. Schock died in 1910. Mrs. Schoek
has two sons and two daughters living,
all children of her second marriage.

party Of Is or 80 Indians. During the
fight at Canyon creek, the Crows got
away with a big herd Of Nez Perez
horses and among them were two
horses which had been stolen the pre-
vious year from the stage station which
Reed had conducted at Summit near
the Idaho-Utah line.
During the succeeding years, there
were often Indian scares, but no serious
Indian troubles. Frequently bands of
Crows would pass, either going or re-
turning from rse-Stealing expeditions
against the Piegans. If they were sue
cessful, they went by with plenty of
noise and parade, the captured ponies
decorated and painted, while the cap
tors often bore several freshly taken
scalps on long willow poles. Once a
band went by with some white horses,
splotched with paint and with changing
bells. Mr.. Reed stepped out to talk
with them but they were in a hurry
to cross the river as Piegans were hot
on their trail.
Bull Mountain Battle
Once a party of Crows had a battle
near the Bull mountains and killed
two Sioux. Mrs. Reed was staying at
the Rouse homestead, neal Canyon, and
was cooking for stage drivers while
Reed was at work with a logging out
fit.
AS they came down the valley shoot
ing and whooping, Ed Forrest, a neigh
Dor, who laid CLAIM to many thrilling
adventures, came running in and picked
up a bucket Of water and doused it on
the fire. Telling her that the Indians
were attacking the men at Canyon,
Forrest ran out the door. Mrs. Reed
grabbed up a shotgun and started to
follow when she stumbled over a large
log near the door. and the gun was
discharged. Forrest let out a yell from
a nearby hiding place as he jumped
up and demanded why she had shot.
Shortly afterward, Forrest again dis
appeared. When the men at Canyon
learned how Forrest had deserted, life
was made miserable for him, as they
quoted his Dragging words that he
would stand at the mouth of a an
o Or the point of a needle"

a matter Of moments. He finally re-
covered to some extent but his exer-
lions had strained his heart and he
died that fall after going to Hunters
Hot Springs in an effort to regain his
health.
The generosity and fine spirit Of the
men Of Coulson, uncouth as many OF
them were ~outwardly, was strikingly
displayed toward the widow. One OF
the first acts Of kindness was the bring
ing Of a wagon load of vegetables to
her door.
When she began to take in washing,
P. w. Meadow, the principal factor at
the place, would send a yoke OF oxen
and a man to bring up water by the
barrel from the river. When the wash
ings were finished, he would take them
to the store and there act as a collect
ing agency, seeing to 1t that no man
got his clothing without paying his bill.
AS there were many bachelors in the
country, there was plenty of laundry
work to do.
There "a always an abundance OF
help from most of the men if there
was any water to be carried or similar
jobs to 60, not without hope OF the
part OF some Of them that they might
eventually win the heart of the young
widow. One young fellow suggested
that she reminded him of his girl back
in Missouri and wanted to mary her
on the strength of the likeness. she
suggested that 1t wasn't too much TO
presume that the girl still remembered
him. Shorty afterward. he acted on her
suggestion that he go back and find
out and he brought the girl back to
Montana with him as his bride.

DEGENERATION of Pioneer, historic
Powell county ghost" town, has ad-
~ vanced with The arrival of more than
one-half Of the machinery and equip
ment for the great $250,0O0 dredge
which will be used on the placer terri
tory there, according to Patrick Wall,
vice president and general manager
of the Gold Greek Dredging and Mining
company.
The Gold Greek company is invest
ing 100000 In reopening the placer
workings at the famous old town. Mr..
Wall said that weather has been favor
able for starting operations, but COM
pletion of the dredge boat has been
delayed by non-receipt Of q specially
ordered shipment Of Oregon fir which
represents an investment Of $4,000.
In q recent interview, Mr.. Wall said:
"We are assembling our boat-the
first Of q feet-about 1000 feet north
Of the old city of Pioneer, between the
town and the railway tracks," MI.
Wall said.
The Montana Power company pole
line for power has reached the boat.
The telephone line has been finished
to the Wall home.
I'VE shall require AZ cars of machin-
cry to finish our first dredge. Already,
% cars have been delivered. The re-
mainder of the machinery is expected
shortly but the fir shipment appears
to be delayed"
The weather, Mr.. Wall said, has been
ideal. On Dec. 10, II and IL he and
Mrs. Wall f1shed for trout In the
streams about his home without any
sort of extra wraps and with good luck.

The Gold Creek Dredging and Min

district.

Ellen Banks, and some actor came to
the hotel and distributed circulars
about a Chinese play they were going
TO give. Meadow cleared out his store
and hleped them fix the scenery for
their stage. They came out in Chinese
costumes and sang some songs of which
part was in Chinese, and gave some
dances. The next day there was much
talk of the performance. Mrs. Schock,
who sang so much about her work that
Meadow had dubbed her 'the Nightin-
gale," was in the store and when Nc
Adow declared that 'the Nightingale
Is just as good a singer as Ellen Banks
She repeated most of the performance
TO the great delight of those at the
store. After that there were several
attempts at amateur theatricals.
Many of the frontiersmen were great
readers when they could find anything
to read. Papers and magazines were
passed around until they were worn
out. There were a number of story
papers of which the Weekly Public
Ledger was a particular favorite. Most
of them ran serial stories which were
continued from issue to issue for
weeks. r. w. Clark, who delivered
milk and butter at Coulson, stopped
every week to read one of these stories
ii a paper which Mrs. Schock received
Years afterward, while revisiting Bill
lings, he called at the Schock home.
What brings you here?" Mrs. Schock
asked in a joking way. II wanted to
hear the last of that story in the Pub
lie Ledger" was his reply.
Liked Mark Twain
Mrs. Schock recalls how some humor-
GUS passage from Mark Twain or Bill
Nye would send some, reader at the
hotel or store into shrieks of laughter
Once she was reading Mark Twain's
account of how he fell into the midst
Of a candy pull which his sisters and
some other girls were holding and
which he was observing from his bee
in the loft. 1t was some time before
she could explain to the others the
cause Of her merriment.
Most of the old frontiersmen were
known to Mrs. Schock. When Uncle
Billy Hamilton had his mines near ole

up four claims with him and spent
some time there. A tunnel was dug

After the winter at Saltwater, the
Reeds moved near the present Park
City, where a cousin, William Bellion,
had come from the Gallatin. That
summer they had a good garden and
were making plans to farm next year.
One day while on the way home from
the neighboring home Of John Kinney,
the sun suddenly became obscured as
if by clouds. The air was literally
filled with grasshoppers which soon
covered the ground. Everything in the

FEZZER IS DEAD
HORSEMEN HAPPY
BLACK CAT MASCOT OF MIDLAND
EMPIRE FAIR PASSES INTO
GREAT BEYOND
Animals Conduct Was Good But IL
Crossed So Many Paths Just Before
Races That 1t Was Blamed for Los
ingS and Hard Luck.

News that Fezzer, for many years
the mascot of the Midland Empire
fair at Billings, is dead will be good
news to hOrsemen and shOwmen scat
tered through the length and breadth
Of the country.
Not that Fezzer's personal conduct
was anything but exemplary through
his long career but then any black
cat regardless of moral character IS
q sinister object to have cross your
path just before a race is called
Many q horse has been scratched ON
The Midland Empire tracks just be-
cause Fezzer strolled across a train
er's pathway just before a race, and
on more than one occasion, big bets
have been called off because he tried
to rub against some horse owners leg.
According to Art Lever, fairgrounds
custodian, 1t vas a common sight to
see O horseman or concession owner
shy half way over across the Midway
to keep Fezzer from walking in front
of him. Many of the fair followers
refused to come near the custodians
house for fear that they meet bad luck
in the shape of a big friendly tom
cat, a perfectly honest and respectable

hair in his entire makeup.
Carnival men we're just as skeptical
of the harmlessneSs of Fezzer as the
racetrack gentry, according to MI. Lev
er. One carnival owner, pale and trem-
bling at a narrow escape from having
Fezzer cross his path, is said to havB
set a substantial price on Fezzer's head.
In spite of the fact that Fezzer was
an object of dread to many fair fro
quenters, he lived to a serene old age
and came to a natural end.
Fezzer appeared at the custodiant
house, q little black kitten. the first
year that the fair started. Nothing Is
known OF his family history but it was
generally assumed that someone
brought him as far as the fairgrounds
entrance and left him to his fate, and
fate decreed that he should becom
an exceedingly large and exceedingly
black feline, the bane of the race TRACK
and the pet of those not afflicted with
the sable cat superstition.
Fezzer wa a familiar figure strolnnG
about the Midway and around thu
building at every fair. He was IA years
old when his earthly career ended and
whether or not he is now hunting
celestial mice, he will be missed along
the Midway.
