FREIGHT RATE
CUT PROMISED
~
Fifty Per Cent Slash Is
Advocated as Aid
To Farmers

WASHINGTON. Aug. 13-Pj-An
immediate fifty per cent slash in
railroad freight rates on hay, feed
water and livestock in the drought
areas, stood out today as the first
large scale action for relief OF the
parched agricultural lands.
Government relief plans mean
while marked time until tomorrow's
conference of governors. President
Hoover wants their suggestions and
plans before proceeding with any
broad relief measures. An idea Of
what line the governors recon-
mendations may take came in dis
patches from capitals Of some Of
the affected states.
Governor Hammill OF Iowa. leav-
ing DeS Moines for Washington,
said ne favored immediate aid to
the farmers in need, together with
arrangements through the farm
board for seed for next years plant
ing. and financing by the board Of
a transfer Of grains from surplus
sections to the drought areas.
In Kentucky, the agricultural
branch Of the state bankers associa-
ton formulated with Governor
Sampson a plan based on under
writing the tax bills Of drought
suffering farmers through federal
assistance.
Expectations Of relief continued
concentrated on government agen-
cies. as weather forecasts. although
indicating showers for part OF the
dry areas. promised no soaking rains.
The railroad rate cuts have been
worked out between the roads and
the department Of agriculture with
a safeguarding arrangement by
which farmers applications for a
special rate will be certified to rail-
road officials by county agricultural
agents. This was done in hope OF
preventing speculative use OF the
emergency schedules.
The low rate Is to 60 into effect
Immediately on roads operating to
and from drought areas north of
the Ohio and east Of the MissiSsip-
pi rivers. Within a day or two
they r expected TO be extended 10
the remainder OF the dry regions.
Success in eradication of the Med
iterranean fruit fly in Florida re-
suited yesterday in an indirect aid
TO the drought states through re-
moval Of sterilization requirements
for shipping vegetables from the
peninsula state to all parts of the
country. Garden crops have been
wiped out in some areas.

Teddy Invites Old-Timers
To ~StOckmem's Meeting
(By TEDDY BLUE)

IN 1883 a few StOckmen in Custer
county started the Eastern Montana
Stock association, which made three
or four in Montana. BY the fall of '83,
Custer county was full of COW outfits
just starting in. During the winter Of
1894 a lot of the leading cowmen
decided to try and all get together and
have n association for Montana, so
in April, "a, a meeting wa called in
Miles City and they formed the Mon
tana StockgroWerS' association.
I. j. Bryan was elected president
and they agreed to issue a call for all
the StOckmen in Montana to meet in
July in Helena and decide on having
just one association. This was done
and they all agreed to come and join
the Montana Stockgrowers' association
at Miles City which was done in April,
1885, at Miles City. l think T. j..
Bryan was reelected president. / have
no doubt that all the data left dates
from 1885 but the Montana Stock as
ISOLATION was born in April, 1884, at
Miles City.
That was a notable meeting in 1884.
I was working for T. j. Bryan. Matt
Winters was his foreman. He had
taken his outfit in to Miles City to
receive a train load of Iowa dogies and
attend the stock meeting and believe
me, old-timers, we were sure there all
the time. At that meeting I first saw
Granville Stuart, Con Kohrs, Teddy
Roosevelt, the Marquis de Mores, and
in fact, most of the leading cowmen
of Montana. After the meeting was
over, a lot of the big men got together
and planned the raids on the rustlers
that were carried out that summer and
paid for at the meeting in 1887.
The only stockman alive that l know
of who was at the meeting in 1884
is Frank Robertson who lives at Spo-
kane, or did a few years ago. Bud
Burdett lives at Spokane; he was FORE
man for Scott e. Hanks. All the range
foremen and wagon bosses we're there
as they had to make all the roundup
districts and appoint the captains. 1t
was all new country and 1t took a lot
of figuring to get the roundups S as
to work the whole range That was
the main reason for holding the meet
ing in April. 1t was in 1887, before the
whole range in Montana wa in regular
roundup districts. as they kept chang
ing some so they would work out diff
ferent.
Billy Smith was working for the
Wyoming Stock association and was
stationed at Miles City to cut beef
herds from Wyoming. In 1889 he quit
Wyoming and went to work for the
Montana association and stayed with
them until he died a few years ago.
Whit Songley lives in Miles City. He
is about the only n Of those two
or three old range foremen running
an outfit in the spring of 1884 who is
left alive in Montana. Billy Burnett
was running the DIS at that time.
Horace Brewster is another. There
may be a few others that I don't know
of.
Granville Stuart never was president
Of the Montana Stock association. He
was president of the board of stock
commissioners which was created in
1885 and from that time on had charge
Of and appointed all stock inspectors
for Montana.

Twenty Mile station, William BuSSey,
a rancher in the neighborhood, was
sitting on a bench. AS the driver told
of the mishap. Bussey, whom the stage
driver afterwards declared had ridden
up only a short time before, questioned
him as TO every detail of the robbery.
ASKED for q match, did hep Bussey
said, and then laughed uproariously.
AS the driver continued his narrative,
Bussey met every detail with out
bursts of uproarious laughter. Shortly
a%fterWard, when several neighbOrs be-
gan to miss cattle, Bussey's actions on
the day of the robbery was remeTi-
bered. Sensing the feeling against
him, he started hiding out in the hills.
A neighbor named Raymond had lost
some cattle and he also suspected that
his wife was giving Bussey aid, taking
food to him at his hiding place.
A son of Raymond early one morning
told his father that Bussey had spent
the night in a burrow in a haystack.
Raymond got his rifle and started to
watch. Seeing Bussey starting for the
barn, Raymond followed and Bussey,
seeing him, crawled into a piano box
which had been stored in the barn.
Discovering the fugitive's hiding place,
Raymond stepped back and started fir
ing into the box. Bussey's dead body
when discovered had no less than II
bullet holes.
Raymond was tried for murder later
and sentenced to six years imprisOn-
ment. The judge told Raymond that
he thought he was justified in shoot
ing Bussey but he d%isapproved of the
way it was done; the Kidding of the
mans body showed an animosity and
a disregard of the proprieties that de-
served to be punished.
Painted Robe Robbery
Perhaps the robbery that has lin
gered longest in the minds of pioneers
was the one at the Painted Robe hill,
nearer Lavina. A person who held a
position of trust at Lavina was sus-
pected and although officers of the
law failed to obtain his conviction, the
scandal of the affair pursued him
through the years and prevented him
from obtaining other places of honor.
There had been rumors of a heavy
shipment of gold; either bullion from
the famous Spotted Horse mine at
Maiden, as one story has it, or currency
" PNJ AA6 COANASko QO lN1dS llllllS.
1t was generally known, at least, that
a heavy consignment of money was
to come through on a certain stage.
A long grade leads to the top of
Painted Robe hill, at the top of which
was a group of several pine trees. Be-
meath n of these a thick-set, dark
man with a brown moustache waited
for the coach, whose driver is said to
have been jeff Kimball.
AS the horses slowly reached the top
of the long grade, the robber, who wore
a wide-brimmed hat pulled down over
his eyes and a handkerchief over the
lower part of his face, rode out and
shot down one of the lead horses.
In the stage was a woman return
ing from the east to her home in Lew
istoWn. In terror, she looked on as
the nan demanded the valuables, ard
