grounds and had been trapped in a
basin surrounded by high, impossible
hills through which no exit could be
found. OF these hills Bull Hook butte
alone remained, the Indians believed,
as a sort of memorial to the savior
of the herd. No food or water ex-
listed in this basin and the herd was
in danger of starvation as were the
Indians on the prairies beyond who
depended upon the buffalo for food
and clothing. Days passed and the
weaker members of the herd and the
calves we're dying by the score when
morning a huge buffalo appeared
who charged with lowered head at the
hills surrounding the basin. His huge
head made a gap through which the
herd made its way to water and grass
in plenty. The gap in the butte is
v-shaped and with a little imagination
it is easy to picture it made by the
charge of a giant buffalo. The plains
Indians looked upon the buffalo for
food, clothing and associated them with
their religious beliefs and practices and
it was natural for them to see in this
legend handed down for hundreds of
years from some forgotten incident SUI

the instrument of this intervention as
a giant buffalo.

in Womens' clothing.
The young mar who was undergoing
his initiation when MI. Garland and
his companion arrived ran for several
hundred yards through the sagebrush
and as he passed through the lines of
interested spectators an occasional cut
from a willow switch hurried him on.
Finally the buffalo head dropped from
the bleeding and torn shoulders and
the youth was welcomed as a full
1edged warrior of the tribe.
A feast had been prepared by the
ome and several of the men had
secured a quantity of the white mans
firewater. The squaW dance and the
buffalo dance followed the sun dance
and the old men of the tribe became
eloquent although the two white men
were unable to understand what the
speeches were about. The general re-
joicing and merrymaking of the as
sembled Indians were indicative of the
general trend, however.
In choosing the bank of Bull Hook
creek in the vicinity of Bull Hook
butte, the Indians had chosen a scene
which figures in one of their oldest
legends. AS the legend goes, accord
ing to some authorities on north Mon
tana Indian lore, a vast herd of buffalo
had wandered from the usual feeding

with disfavor by the government who
had troops to see that such rulings
were Obeyed may also have had some
thing to do with tempering this age
old tribal ceremony.
Mr.. Garland was at the time working
on a bridge and building gang on the
newly built Great Northern railway.
The work train was sidetracked some
where between where Chinook and
Havre are located. Rumors of a
great gathering of Indians had been
circulating among the members of the
crew and the settlers in the station
known as Bull Hook, which is now
Havre. Garland and a companion,
both comparatively new to the country
and interested in the strange behavior
of the Indians, determined to see what
wa going on.
Leaving the men working on the job,
the two young men made their way to
the vicinity Of the Indian camp and
were able to view the ceremonies In
part, for when they arrived the fes-
tivities we're in fun swing snd several
candidates for the role OF full f1edged

he predicted, will assure its advance

that class to be a fertile field for adj
vancing Montana's interests, and gain

(By GLADYS ROBINSON

Two white men witnessed the last
Sun dance Of the eros Ventre In
dams held at the foot Of Bull Hook
butte, southeast of Havre, which is
usually known now as Saddle butte,
on Bull Hook creek, a place which for
years had been the ceremonial gath
ering place of the GrOs Ventures. One
of these two men was w. II. Garland
of Malta, stockman, rancher and for
four years sheriff Of Phillips county,
who is one of the best known men in
that section of the state.
The Sun dance had been banned by
the United States government as
heathenish and cruel and the holding
of 1t was therefore secret. From Mr..
Garland's description of the dance it
differed in some respects from the
Sun dance of the Sioux in that the
physical tests given the young men
about to become braves were not SO
severe. The fact that the practice of

ena. Until recent years he generally
spent his ummer in Yellowstone park
His experiences in the Treasure state
varied from a developer of mines and
smelters to farming and livestock rails
ing on a vast scale and he was presi-
dent of the Yellowstone Park Hotel
company and the Yellowstone Park
Transportation company.
Back in the eighties, Mr.. Child
went to Helena, where he became in
terested in mining lear Gloster with
A. j. Seligman, an uncle. Later he
was manager of the smelter at Great
Falls. He became one of Montana's
millionaires and developed a tract OF
$50, 900 acres in Gallatin valley.
MI. Child came to Montana to try
his hand at mining with Seligman
who was operating in the Helena dis
trict. Within a few years he was man.
and the other silver and lead, both be-
ing different camps. Bullion was
stored until the Northern Pacific rail-
road should reach Helena but New
York capitalists who we're financing
the enterprise were too busy to send
money to pay the miners.
When employees in the mines and
reduction plant found they were owed
some $125 900, they held a mass meet
ing and decided to get their money
One of the New York men who owned
one of the mines, q banker worth mil
lions, had sent his son to Helena to
learn mining under Child. The miners
decided that the quickest way to get
their pay was to kidnap Child and the
bankers son and imprison them i'll a
mine as hostages until $250,00O was
posted.
Mr.. Child induced the miners TO al
low him to go to Helena and he went
to the states chief justice and The
governor, with a warning not to at
tempt rescue of the youth. 1t was de-
cided to get Western Union to elect
an open circuit with New York SO
Child could discuss the situation with
the banker. Within "a hours S25O,000
was telegraphed to MI. Child.
Fearful of bandits, Child made the
25-mile trip by sleigh in a roundabout
way and later learned that several
parties of miners had planned to rob
him on his return from Helena with
the gold.
Mr.. Child continued mining after
this episode and sent gold and silver
bullion east on the first train to leave
Helena.
In the early eighties a company was
organized to build a pretentious hotel
at Mammoth hot springs in Yellow
stone park but in 1885 the company
collapsed and the structure was held
under guard by workmen who had not
been paid for building it. The North
ern Pacific railroad bought out the
company, completing the Mammoth
hotel and building half a dozen others.
AT this time transportation OF tour
lists was the business of the hotel COM
pany but in 1891 the interior depart
ment granted the concession TO the
newly formed Yellowstone T~ransporta-
ton company. The firm developed an
efficient system, largely as the result
of the efforts of Silas S. Huntley, Mr..
Child's brother-in-law.
Mr.. Child became associated with
Huntley and when the latter died he
succeeded to management Of the COM
pany, control of which he exercised
until his death. Development Of hotels

Lewistown is on Verge
of Big Building Boom

With the announced date of starting
work on the s133, 900 federal postoflce
building, March /, just three weeks
distant, considerable interest is being
aroused at Lewistown in building prof.
ects generally.
Already it has been announced that
the old frame building on the corner
OF Main and First avenue will be torn
down and a fine new super-service
station erected Of brick and tile, to
replace it.
A number of smaller improvements
and repair jobs on both business and

temptation by their owners and it is
generally thought that building opera

once under way will bring the grand
total up to 5000 900.
In addition there looms an invest
ment Of several hundred thousand dol

ton system within the city, which will
