BY ELMER c. WALLER
United Press Financial Editor

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-The stock
market plunged downward today
its own weakness aided by break
in Steel and by announcement of
failure of Prince & Whitley, one of
the largest commission houses in
the financial district.
New lows of the year rolled out
on the ticker, bringing with them
subsequent loss of millions of dol
lars in paper value, after the COM
mission house failure was an
nounced.
A complete rout. however, was
checked. With prices rolling out
at from to u points below their
Wednesdays closing level, some in
vestment buying developed. This
brought a somewhat Steadier tone.
Descent Again Set OFF
During the morning, United
States Steel broke through the
magic $50 mark and this brought
gradual recession in prices all along
the line. There had been, however,
some signs of improvement when
the Prince and Whitley announce
ment came. The descent again was
set off by the announcement that
the exchange house had been Sus-
pended from the exchange for in
solvency.
Prince & Whitley, in addition to
operating large offices in New York,
have branches in Akron, O., Chi
cago, Cleveland, Detroit, Indian
apolis, Philadelphia and Reading,
Pa.
The company has eight firm
members, two of whom are mem
bers of the Stock Exchange. The
members are G. Leslie Forman and
Morrison B. Orr Forman was adj
mitted to membership Nov. IL, 1926,
and Orr, Aug. 8, 1929.
The stock market, which sagged
to new lows on its own impetus
earlier. underwent greater declines
when the suspension was an
nounced.

were interested bore the brunt of

that day on a pony and with a gun.

Blade went along, too. After going a
little way we met Little WhirlWind and
Spotted Hawk asked him to go with us
and he came along. He was riding
and had a gun, too. We went down
the river a little way and then went
up in the hills above Barringers ranch.
In a little while we found a ~two-year-
old steer and killed it. While we were
skinning the beef some n called to
us and we looked up and saw a white
man standing on the hill above us. He
talked in English to Spotted Hawk and
Spotted Hawk talked to him in English.
Details of Killing
Spotted Hawk said that the white
man told him we would get in trouble
for killing the beef. The white man
then went away and then Spotted
Hawk said: Now he has seen us and
knows who we are, we have no show,
we had better go after him and kill
him. Then we all went after him on
our horses. Two had carbines like
Casey's scouts had, and one had a little
Winchester. When we got to where we
could see the white man he was driv-
ing his sheep fast as if he wanted to
get away. We rode after him and one
shot was fired and he fell with his arm
broken. Then Spotted Hawk rode up
to him and shot him again and killed
him. His dog was running around and
Little Whirlwind shot him and then
laid him alongside of the dead man.
We all rode off then without going back
to the beef. Spotted Hawk told us not
to say anything about it and that no
one would ever find out who did it,.

with his little wife all day waiting for
a run for his life In the evening
when he was to be brought to the
agency preparatory to being taken to
Miles City, he was missing.
While he remained on the hill dur
ing the day the civil authorities con
sidered taking him by force, but if
a shot had been fired and he was
wounded the old women would have be-

more trouble would have ensued. The

military authorities were in accord in
desiring to avoid a clash that would
involve more than the handful of In

for the murder of the sheepherder.

Buffalo Placers
Inn Nevada Valley
to BE Busy Again

In line with steadily increasing ac-
tivity in placer mining, operations will
0 be begun at the Buffalo placers,
an old property in Nevada valley, SO
miles northwest Of Helena and 13
miles north of Avon. The ground will
be worked by a new corporation, the
Buffalo PlacerS, Inc, which has a fully
paid up capital Of $4,000.
The Buffalo property consists of one
claim with an area of % acres, being
1000 feet from rim to rim. 1t was
patented in 1867, the patent being
signed by U. S. Grant as president OF
the United States. 1t was operated to
a limited extent in stampede days, but
only at the ends, which proved ex-
ceedingly rich. The center is virtually
all virgin ground and yields a rather
coarse gold that assays $50 fine. In
early days the placer was given a high
rating by engineers. Plenty of water
is available.
The Buffalo Placers, Inc, was incor-
porated by w. S. Jeffries, chief deputy
in the office of State Treasurer F. E
Williams; DR.. j. H. Owen, P. w. Woods
w. w. Raleigh and George Fowlie.

discharged by the court.
Death stalked along by the side
of John Hoover, about "a years OF
age and slightly inclined to be hump
backed, on May l of that year. He
was employed as a sheepherder on the
Barringer ranch in the southern por-
ton of Custer county, near the Indian
agency. He was taken out to the hills
on April 81, and with a dog was left
in charge of a band of sheep. Five
days later, coming to the top OF a small
hill, his attention was directed toward
a small company of Indians below the
hill who had killed and were skinning
a ~two-year-old beef. Somewhat simple
minded. but believing that the Indi-
ans had committed an unlawful Of
Tense and for that reason unafraid,
Hoover called out.
You will all get into trouble for
killing that beef"

Included in the company of Chey-
ennes at work below the hill were

later was ascertained to be Feeding

David Stanley. Spotted Hawk was the
only Indian who could understand and

HISTORICAL LIBRARY
Were Contributed BY II. p. Stanford,
K~aIispell Druggist, Who Also Sug-

David Hilger, librarian of the State
Historical library, has received a con-
signment of written and printed mat
ter, drawings and printed pictures,
maps and the like dealing with the
location, history and general achieve
ments of Fort Whoop Up, which was
built in 1871, nine miles from the

The data on the trading post, n OF
whose distinguished "reminiscences re-

quor from the bottom of MIX river,
TO which it sank when the steamer
Amelia was wrecked, was received from
a well known Kalispell druggist, H. P.
Stanford, brother of the late James t.
Stanford of Waller, and a letter ac-
comIanying the literature on the tort
suggested that Mr.. Hilger might be
aided In securing for the library mu-

Provincial Mounted police, residing at
Edmonton, Alberta.
Fort Whoop Up YVES named by the
late John Power, who was located at
Fort Benton in the early days, in bust
ness with his brother, the late T. G.
Power. Somebody came down from the
region where it was built, and wnen
asked how things were going there
said they were 'whooping it up" in
great style, which suggested the name.
The fort cost $4,000, and was in
the usual rectangular form, with an
inner courtyard, a bell tower at one
corner, projecting bastions at two
others, a corral for horses in part Of
the court, living rooms, store rooms,
an Office and a trading oom where
the Indians were received near the
main gate.
Healy made money in trade with the
a%borigines, firewater being a main arti-
Gle of barter, and the fort was useful
when too many of the redskins became
soused and quarrelsome in keeping
them on the outside.

HALLORAN UPHOLDS
 CONNORS CO. BID
Believes Hartford Firm Should
 Erect School Addition

That there is little likelihood Of the school boards changing it's bid on the general contract in the con- struction of the Benjamin Frank lin school was indicated today by School Accommodations Committee Chairman Joseph NJ. Halloran who said that the matter had not been considered by his committee.
 It was Mr. Halloran's opinion that such a move would set d bad pre- cedent. It was the opinion in city hall that the bid in the construction of the school should go 10 a New Britain contractor so that New Brit ain laborers would be given work. The lowest bidder was the NJ. A. Connor Co. of Hartford and the sec- ond lowest was the Hayes Construc- tion Co. Of this city. It was felt that the last named company would en- gage local help, but Mr. Halloran pointed to the fact that in the con- struction of the Robert J. Vance and Roosevelt schools the Hartford com- pany had used New Britain en- ployes. The bond posted by the Con- nors Co. is issued by a New Britain company, Mr. Halloran said.
 The bid has not been accepted as yet, but indications are that NJ. A. Connor Co. will be given the gener- al contract.
