OLD WAR TRAILS
ARE RECALLED
COL. G.. 1. REICHE OF HELENA
MARCHED WITH SHERMAN
WHEN MERE BOY
Member of Union Veterans Legion Has
Been Highly HonOred By Comrades
Both In Ohio and Montana; Formerly
(By T. ii. BAILEY

-
On bright summer mornings, long
before batteries Of alarm clocks
summon Helena residents to daily
tasks, Col. G.. /. Reiche, Civil war
veteran, cane in hand, takes his
morning walk. This has been his
custom for many years. In those
peaceful morning hours, when nature
is at her best, he draws inspiration
from the flowers and trees, pausing
now and then to gaze out over the
Helena valley that unfolds like a
great green satin ribbon at the foot
feet sunkissed lakes, like mighty
sapphires, fling back the golden rays
of the rising sun.
And sometimes, in memory, he re-
traces old trails. There we're four
years of hell, for he marched with
Sherman to the sea receiving his first
baptism of fire when just a lad-14
years of age. But even war did not
mar the beauty Of his soul or destroy
his love for mankind. 1t was this love
that goaded him onward over the
breastworks, where, kneeling under
heavy fire, he rendered first aid to the
enemy-a wounded Confederate SOL
dier-but this is a matter of G. A. r.
history.
Made a corporal at the age of Is, a
year later he marched with the ragged,
tattered, sassy" veterans of Sherman's
army when it passed in the last final
grand review.
A tintype, taken at that period, shows
a bold lad reclining on his elbow, his
musket at his side, a Confederate cap
replacing the one furnished the Union
sOldiers-and in his heart was the la
ment that a dead Confederate's boots
had been too tight to enable him to
take them of and make as nifty q
showing as possible when he returned
from the conflict.
After the wal Colonel Reiche pre-
pared to enlist under another banner.
Undaunted by army life, he set forth
at II to obtain the education necessary
to go as a missionary to Africa. He
attended a missionary school at Frank
lin, Mich, and then studied for the
ministry at Marietta college, Marietta,
Ohio. He did not go to Africa, but he
did serve in the ministry for many
years.
Life plays strange pranks. Colonel
Reiche'S father was born near Berlin,
in Germany, and served in the Prus-
sian war. With Karl Schurz and other
revolutionists he fled from Germany
to America, locating in that section Of
Mexico which is now Texas. Later, by
government wagon train, Reiche, ST.,
moved to Cincinnati where Colonel
Reiche was born, February S, 1882
years ago.
After the Franco-Prussian war, Col
onel Reiche returned to Germany,
where a large estate of his aunt. Otil-
liza Fechner, was involved, as no will
was left. The estate embraced a man
sion and four acres of land, situated
where the city Of Berlin now stands.
Disguised with revelry and the gay life
offered to him by his uncle, Colonel
Reiche turned his back upon probable
wealth and influence, and returned to
his home in Cincinnati.
Colonel Reiche received his title
when a colonel in the Union Veterans

Visited Many Lodges
Herman Tom has visited and sat in
many famous lodges. During his early
days he was never absent from his
lodge. He helped instruct many prom
inent Helena Masons, including the late
DR.. O. M. Lanstrum, John Kahn, and
others.
When Herman Tom arrived in Hell
ena in 1888 he and his wife opened
a millinery and fancy-goods store.
There was no building available, so he
moved his stock into the old Jumbo
block, now the Monticello. which was
then building. Although unguarded,
the building being wide open, he never
lost a dollars worth of his $4,000 stock,
he recalls. I'VE could sleep with open
doors then-we were never afraid. Peo-
pie were honest"
Mr.. Tom Is now blind, but he is
happy. He sits on the porch at his
home where he has lived since 1887.
He hears the birds twittering, quarrel
ing and making love in the trees. He
hears those wonderful sounds that are
lost to those whose sense of hearing is
less acute. He walks from bush to
bush and holds the dainty blossoms IN
his sensitive hands and enjoys their
fragrance for he sees through his I'M

after the close of the Civil war.
There are now less than 200 men,

the veteran.
He has been highly honored by his
comrades. He served as custodian Of
Ohio's battle flags from 1906 to 1908;
a. assistant adjutant general, 1912 to
1916; as q member of the National
Council of Administration, 1912 to 1915;
as department commander of Montana
G. A. r., 1916 to 1917, and as COM
mandant at the Montana Soldiers
home, Columbia Falls, 1917 to 1919.
He recalls that during a big Ohio
flood he was authorized by that state
to distribute $4,000 in cash to flood
sufferers. He made the 800-mile trip
in a rOWbOat.
While an officer at the National Sol
diers' home at Dayton, Ohio. he was
presented with a Columbia bicycle by
his friends. The frame Of this wheel
he still cherishes. 1t bears a plate
bearing the date of its presentation.

Reiche.

which observation applies also 10 the
WagonbOx battle.
The Hayfleld fight represents fairly
the kind of deslltory engagements and
skirmishes the hostile Indians pursued
during the decade. and a few years fol-
lowing the Battle of the Little Big
Horn, during which they became more
strongly united IN their determination
to hurl back the rising tide of emigra-
ton into their hunting grounds. Red
Clouds hostility and his militant ca
reer had its influence upon later In
dian chiefs, including Sitting Bull,
Chief Gall, Crazy Horse, Lame Deer,
and others whose names are indelibly
linked with the battle in which the
federation of the Sioux and Cheyennes
reached its zenith on the banks of the
Little Big Horn on that Sunday after
noon of June 25, 1876. The Hayfield
fight was but a precursor, and a warn
ing at the same time, that the Indi-
ans would not give up their hunting
grounds until they were overpowered
by superior numbers.
