DOCUMENT FROM ENGLAND
Evidence in Dispute With New Jer-
sey Over Boundary Right

Attorney General Reuben Sat
terthwaite, Jr., has received copies
of old English documents which
Delaware will produce as evidence
in the dispute over boundary rights
with New Jersey in the Delaware
River. The papers have been turn
ed over to former Attorney Cen
eral Clarence A. Switzerland, who
is associated with Mr. Satterth-
waite in the case. The documents
are copies of grants made by Char
les II, of England to the Duke of
York. They are expected to prove
the claim of Delaware that the
boundary of the State is the 12-
mile circle with New Castle as the
center. Location of valuable oys-

BUCK ENDORSES RED CROSS
DRIVE AND CHRISTMAS SEALS
ASKS SUPPORT OF TWO MOVE
MENTS TO SEEK FUNDS
25th Annual Sale of Seals Sp0n-
sOred by Anti-TuberculOsis So
ciety Starts November 27th

Two humanitarian movements
We're endorsed Thursday by Cover
nor C. Douglass Buck in the State
House at Dover. He issued two
statements, one of which urged
Delawareans to support the Red
Cross, which soon will launch its
annual roll call The other state
ment asked that aid be given the
Delaware Anti tuberculosis So
ciety's annual Christmas Seal sale.
The governors endorsement of the
Red Cross drive follows: I'm COM
memoration of the completion of
80 years of service to humanity,
the American Red Cross has desig-
mated the period beginning on
Armistice Day, November IL, to
Thanksgiving Day, as the 5Oth an
niversary roll call. The necessity
of maintaining at all times a ma
tional organization prepared to act
instantly and efficiently in times of
great distress, is universally recog-
nized. In the past so years the
National Red Cross, through its
$500 chapters has faced and met
all demands upon its resources, in
a manner worthy of the highest
commentator. The coming Win
ter will again bring increased de-
mands for their services and in or
der to enable both the chapters and
the national organization to meet
these urgent needs, a substantial
increase in membership is essen
tial I would therefore, earnestly
call to the attention of the people
of the State of Delaware, the 50th
anniversary roll call and urge that
they respond to the call of the
American Red Cross with a fervor
that will be unprecedented in our
State"

His first work In Montana was
chopping cordwood for the govern
ment on the West Gallatin river at
Fort Alice, about two miles from the
present site of Bozeman, and after
this he engaged in hunting and trap
ping for about eight years. During
this time, he estimates he killed be-
tween 1000 and 5000 buffaloes, selling
the hides for s2.75 each. He also
bought hides from other buffalo hunt
ers and in 1881, when he was then liv-
ing at Orinoco, he had 10000 hides
at his place at one time.
In 1877 he was a scout for the gov
eminent under General Miles, sta
toned at Fort Keogh, about 40 miles
east of Forsyth. July S of that year
he had his first and only fight with
Indians. The skirmish took place about
SO miles east of Fort Keogh on the
Little Missouri river and lasted from
2 o'clock in the afternoon until dark,
when under cover of darkness the
scouts made their getaway. There were

DEFORE the gold era the pioneers OF
Montana we're out Of all contact
with the world beyond their settle
ments. On the first of March, 1857,
Major Owen in the Bitter Root was
anxiously awaiting news regarding the
election of president Of the United
States the preceding November. He
was happy to believe on the fourth Of
March that Buchanan was being in
augurated. Before the summer of 1863
mail came to Montana by two routes.
One was up the Missouri to Fort Ben
ton, thence to its destination by whom
soever would carry it. The other was
up the Columbia to Walla Walla and
then by Bachelors express to He'll
Gate. In August, 1863, an express from
Salt Lake City to Bannack and Vir-
GINA City was started and newspapers
were carried from Salt Lake City to
Montana gold camps for a dollar each.
In November, 1864, the government
established a mail route to Virginia
City and a postoffice with George B.
Parker as the first postmaster.
Demand For News
The demand among the miners for
news was SO great that they were
early efforts to crafty it. In 1863 two
printing presses were brought into the
mining camps. One was brought to
Bannack and a weekly known as the
East Bannack News Letter was start
ed. But three issues were printed.
Later Mortimer H. Lott, John S. Lott
and j. A. Hosmer acquired the press
and started the Beaverhead News, but
this soon came to an end.
John Buchanan brought a small hand
press to Virginia City in the fall OF
1863. At first it was used only in job
printing but in January, 1864, a news
sheet was issued, edited by Col. Wilbur
F.. Sanders. There were no later is
sues. Aug. q, 1864, the first real num-
Der of the Montana Post was pub
lished. This was the first real news
Plentywood herald. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1908-current, 1931-08-13

paper in Montana. The name of John
Buchanan was given as proprietor and
Colonel Sanders wrote the leading
article. The paper came out as an ad-
vocate Of the Union and a defender OF
Lincoln. Buchanan soon sold the paper
to Daniel w. Tilton and Benjamin r.
Dittes and they employed Thomas j.
Dimsdale as editor. Dimsdale was
English born and educated in English
universities. He was a man Of fine
character and culture. He had come
to the mountains for his health in 1868,
but he never became strong and died
in 1866. He made of the Post a liter
airy publication and for it wrote THE
V~igilantes of Montana" ar excellent
history of Vigilante activities. He vas
succeeded as editor by Henry N. Blake,
who had recently been discharged from
the Union army. He made it more
definitely a strong republican news
paper.
In 1865, Maj. John P. Bruce estab-
lished the Montana Democrat at Vir-
GINA City. 1t lasted only two years
and during that time it declared itself
the official organ of the democratic
party in Montana.
Helena was growing rapidly and in
1865 the Montana Radiator was start
ed there. 1t lasted less than a year
and was succeeded by the Montana
Herald, with r. E. Fisk as editor. In
1867 the Herald became a daily, the

brush and coulees along the bank of
the river for protection.
Settled at OrinOco
In the fall of 1877 Mr.. jackson took
up a claim near what is now known
as Orinoco and began raising cattle
and horses on the open range. His
place was used as a stopping post for
changing horses by government mail
carriers making the trip from Bozeman
to Bismarck, N. d.
While living at the ranch in this
early time, Mr.. Jackson recalls that
in March of 1879 three young Indian
men and two women came to the
ranch house and asked him to cook
them something to eat. From their at
titude, he decided they were hostile.
Having his gun with him at the time,
he kept it in his hand all the time
they remained and refused to feed
them. They went from there up the
Big Porcupine and murdered a stock
tender. The man was stabbed seven
times in the back with a knife.
From the evidence, Mr.. Jackson said,
it appeared that the man had started
to cook something for the Indians and
was attacked as soon as he turned his
back. The Indian men were condemned
to be hanged but took refuge in the
Crow camp. The Crows surrendered
them to the government and they were
lodged in the Miles City Jail, Mr.. Jack
son recalls, where they took their W
lives by hanging themselves with their
breech clouts, after tearing them into
strips.
His Horses Stolen
Mr.. Jackson recalls that one winter
there had been considerable trouble
with Indians stealing horses. A neigh
Dor lost five horses and Mr.. Jackson
went with him in search of them.
They tracked them for $50 miles in a
little more than a week, when they
lost track of the horses and returned
home. On reaching the ranch, Mr..
Jackson discovered that all his horses
had been stolen while he was away.
Mr.. Jackson's marriage April IL, 1883,
to Miss Mary Price was the first we'd
ding at Forsyth. The wedding was at
Bosworth's hotel, the army chaplain
from Fort Keogh performing the cere-
mony, according to the Catholic ritual,
for, although Mr.. jackson was a prot
estant, his bride was Catholic.
A special car was chartered over the
Northern Pacific railway from Miles
City to bring a band from Fort Keogh
and to bring wedding guests from
there. Following the wedding, supper
was served to 100 guests at the hotel,
and this was followed by a big dance.
To Mr.. and Mrs. Jackson six chill
dren were born and of these five are
living. They are O. B. jackson, who
has been county assessor of Rosebud
for many years; Mrs. James Monahan
of Miles City, Mrs. Harold Finch and
Mrs. w. j. Kennedy OF Orinoco and
Mrs. AL Hanson of Rosebud. A son,
Charles jackson, died of influenza sew
eral years ago.
When Denver Was Young
Mr.. Jackson still lives on the ranch,
but he retired from active work a few
years ago. He is comparatively strong
and we'll. His wife is not only a pio-
neer resident of Montana but she
spent the first seven years of her life
in Colorado, when that state was first
settled. She lived at Denver when it
was a tent and shanty town of only
a few hundred inhabitants.

He was considered an expert marks

1886 and received his education in that
country. In 1866 he decided to seek
his fortune in America. Coming to
this country, he first located in Wis
consin, but in 1871 he came to Mon
tana. The state was then a compare
lively unsettled territory. Millions of
antelopes, many buffaloes and other
wild animals such as elks, mountain
sheep and prairie chickens were to be
found throughout the state, he says.
