Bay company encouraged the Indians
In stealing horses from settlers and
they would then buy them from the
Indians. The feud between the Hudson
Bay company and the independent
traders and trappers was persistent
through the history Of the northwest.
For the American traders to enter Can
ada and trade with the Indians there
was an invasion that the company par
ticularly resented.
Among the episodes centering about
Fort Kipp, one of the most dramatic
was the killing of Calf Shirt, a rene
gade Indian, who had made great
trouble both among the settlers and the
more peaceably disposed bands of his
own people. During the winter of 1872
1873, Calf Shirt made his appearance
in the district where the traders were
established.
powerful man and his cruelty and
treachery made him feared by all other
Indian tribes. He was about six feet
two inches tall and as Brown recalled
was about two feet across the chest
while his hand was as large and fe-
rocious looking as the paw Of a bear.
Calf Shirt had a clan Of about rs or
30 followers whom he could depend
upon In his acts of treachery and MUIR
der. To the other Indians, he was an
outlaw and not a chief. His deeds were
the cause OF much trouble between the
whites and the Indians.
Some time about Christmas, Calf
Shirt with three Of his followers came
into a trading post about three miles
below Kipp's, which was owned and OPP
Grated by Fred Watcher. The Indians
threw Watcher out of the building and
took possession, helping themselves to
everything they could find. Watcher
was glad to escape with his life.
After plundering Watcher, the In
dams came down to the Kipp, Thomas
and Brown place, and started to do the
same thing. A group Of men at the
fort were sitting about playing cards,
when suddenly a man ran in and said
that Calf Shirt was In the post and
that he had his pistol drawn and was
threatening to kill Kipp. All the men
IN the room Immediately ran to Kipp's
assistance.
Brown ran into the fort and grabbing
Calf Shirt thrust him out of the door
before he had 2 chance to brace him.
self, or resist. A volley from the guns
Of some of the other men followed
Calf Shirt In his forced exit. Calf Shirt
disappeared In the dark and none knew
whether he had been wounded or not.
Then, they went out of the building
and began looking for him. AS they
were going out Of the gate, they saw
him rising from behind a log at the
corner Of the stockadc.
While the rest Of the men stopped
at the gate, Brown went on and in a
hand to hand fight, killed Calf Shirt.
The other Indians in the meantime had
fed, but fearing they would return, the
traders debated what they would do
with the body OF Cali Shirt. Finally,

MAN HELD IN BUTTE JAIL
is FOUND DEAD IN CELL

Frank Webb. 81. held in connection
with a robbery, vas found dead IN q
padded cell at the county jail at Butte
last week.
John Davis, a gas pipeline worker
identified Webb and John Hubic, who
also is in custody, as the men who hit
him on the head the night of Sept. II,
taking 500 from him and throwing him
into the ruins of a hotel which had
been destroyed by fire.
Webb and Hubic were arrested re-
Gently. Officers said Webb suffered a mt
while being questioned at the county
attorneys Office and fell, cutting his
scalp.
Webb was a brother of William Webb,
who, with Mike Lacey, is in custody at
Virginia City as a suspect in the recent
Sheridan bank robbery.

they decided to throw 1t into the water
hole, and taking a lodge pole, they
pushed it out into the stream as far
as possible expecting that it would
float down into the Saskatchewan.
Nothing more was thought Of the
matter until the next spring, when the
river began to rise and finally over
flowed its banks. One morning the cook
went down to the river to get some
water to cook breakfast with. Soon he
came running back with every appear
ance Of a man who had just been sub
jected to a bad scare. In excited man.
ner, he said that Calf Shirt was In the
water hole and that he was trying to
get out. Everyone laughed. Some Of the
men went down to the river. There,
sure enough, was old Calf Shirt lying
on his back and as the rising water
bore him up towards the banks, 1t
looked almost as If he was trying to get
out of the water hole.
The men got a pole and poked him
down the stream again and that was
the last that was seen of Calf Shirt
at Fort Kipp. The next fall, his body
was found on a sandbar not far from
Watchers post.
The death of Calf Shirt brought
great relief to the traders and settlers
over q wide area. He had been the
leader OF a war party which in the
spring of 1865, had killed II white men
and q Negro at the mouth OF the Mar
las river. These men had gone to the
Marias with the purpose of building
q town there. With their murder, the
idea was given up for the time being.
1t was one Of the many early attempts
to establish a fort or town in the re-
gion about Fort Benton. In the years
between this killing and Calf Shirts
death, the slaughter Of more than one
white mar was laid at the door Of
Calf Shirt or some of his band.
Brown, Kipp and others we're n
gagged in trading with Blackfoot bands
across the border for four or five
years. They had good success in the
main in spite Of the hostile attitude Of
the Hudson Bay country and other diff
flculties In operating across the line.
About Lethbridge, Alberta, are still a
number of reminders Of their activi-
ties and those OF other Americans. The
names OF the old forts are retained on
the map by towns of Standofi, Whoop-
up, Kipp. as well as Macleod, the sta
ton Of the mounted police.

O'NEIL BRINGS IN
ANOTHER GASSER
ONE MORE PRODUCTIVE WELL IN
CUT BANK FIELD HAS 10000
600 CUBIC FEET FLOW

Another gas well with a capacity Of
TO- 0 0 900 cubic feet was blown in on
the O'Neil gas holdings, thus bring
ing the total gas supply tributary to
the Montana Power natural gas line
up TO about 40, OO0, 900 cubic feet
Tip" O'Neil, gas production superin-
tendent for the Montana Power COM
pany, has five additional wells on which
the drillers are at work. Two Of these
are expected to blow in any day.
The field crews, under Mr.. O'Neils
direction, are pushing ahead as rap
idly a. possible to bring the gas supply
of the Montana Power up to the 200,-
000.0 900 cubic feet, which has been an
nounced as the goal for 1881. Indica-
tons are that a further increase in the
gas supply will be undertaken next
spring, to insure the power company
an unlimited supply of gas.
The capacity already announced on
Montana Power holdings is of the type
known as open flow, which means
the normal output of the wells. The
capacity Of a gas well may be increas-
ed by artificial means beyond the open
flow capacity but this shortens the life
of the we'll.
The Montana Power company, which
has planned for a long period of ma
tural gas service, owns a wide expanse
OF gas producing territory in the Cut
Bank district. Before it has finished its
drilling program it will, 1t is expected,
have brought In many wells Of i'm
mense capacity, Of which it already has
several, and ar ample supply Of gas
to meet every need for many years.

STRICT FLOWER
QUARAN7 7
JUNE Is
Present Inspection of Plants
Is Forerunner Of Closer
Check on Japanese Beetle

The inspection of plants which
were carried from and into Wash
ington during the Easter season
was not a sporadic move but the
forerunner Of a more intensive
inspection, which will be begun
on June Is, according to officials
in charge of the plant quarantine
and control administration OF the
Department of Agriculture.
While the inspection has been
underway for several months
since the Japanese beetle first
was noticed in the northeastern
States along the Atlantic sea-
board, it has been confined prac-
tically entirely to nursery, green
house and soil shipments since
October IS.
The reason, according to depart
ment officials, is because the
beetle is in flight from June Is to
October IS, and because farm
products and cut flowers are
rather freely moved in interstate
commerce during that period.
Due to these facts, the field force
is largely increased between June
IS and October Is, and persons
who travel through the restricted
States can expect to be halted by
Agriculture Department inspec,
tors.

MOUNTAIN FEUD
EXPECTED TO
BREAK OUT
BuraCker Relatives Angered
BY Verdict; Punishment of
Luray Slayer Is Demanded

LURAY, Va, April 8.-Bitter
feeling, undercurrents of which
were visible at times during the
trial of David Sours for the kill
ing Of Edward Buracker, Is ex-
pected to break out in the Ida
Hollow region where both men
lived.
SOurS was acquitted of the
murder charge by the jury which
had deIiberated nearly four hours.
Agreement was reached only
after the jurors had been sent
back for further deliberations
after they had reported that they
could not agree.
Although Sours walked from
the courtroom a free man he is
said to fear return to his noun
tain home.
Punishment Demanded
Relatives and friends of the
murdered man claim that the jury
of lowland citizens "did not un-
derstand the case as we mountain
people do"
Wilbur Buracker, brother OF Ed
ward, has voiced what is believed
to be the sentiment of the slain
mans relatives and friends. He
said:
'TT never rest until Eds
slayer is punished"
James A. Buracker, the father,
aged 10, claims that:
"The State proved ITS case
beyond doubt. 1t showed that
Dave SOurS Iurked on the noun
tainSide waiting for Ed to 60
home on March s." (The date
that the mOuntaineer was shot
to death.)
Widow Is Surprised
Mrs. Rachel Buracker, "a, the
widow, said:
T cannot understand the
verdict.
''What shall do with my
three children? I'm alone in
the mountains and I have moth
ing to live upon"
David SourS, on being freed,
asserts:
81 never had any doubt but
that I'd be cleared.
I'm innocent, as testified
on the witness stand.
81 shall now try to retrieve
what I lost during the trial"
The State placed most Of its
hope for conviction on "blood-
hound testimony"
The verdict freeing Sours came
just a month after the body of
Buracker was found in a pit ten
miles from here and only a
stones throw from the Pres
ident'S camp at Rapidan.
