struck a bridge girder as he was

He died shortly afterWard. DR.. L.
McBurney, Cascade county coroner IN
tervieWed members of the train crew
on their return from the run and j.
A. Frogner. division superintendent,
made a trip to the point of the ac-
cident.
It was believed that Reilly had
leaned from the cab in an effort to
see if the injector on the engine was
functioning properly. Members OF the
train crew said he had received a
severe bump on the head about a week
before in that way. In the last accl-
dent his skull was crushed.
Robert McKenna, engineer, did not
witness the accident, as he was watch
in the road on the other side of the
cab. McKenna, shortly after crossing
bridge 219, near Logging Greek, no
ticed Reilly's body slumped over the
window and halfway out of the n
CINE.
The train was stopped and Reilly
was placed on a stretcher in the bag

the return trip the body was brought
as far as Gerber, where it was placed
in the O'Connor ambulance.
The widow lives in Butte. Reilly
had been on the Neihart run about q

years, beginning his career as an en-

Highway Laborers Get
S. A Day At Missoula

1t is probable that Sam Orino, west
ern and northwestern contractor, has
never voted the republican ticket in
his life but he is full of accord with
the Hoover belief that standards of
living should be maintained on a high
plane. So Sam, instead Of pinching
pennies on his road contracts this win
ter, is increasing wages Of common
labor, he said while in Missouia.
Orino is working on two big con-
tracts at present despite winter
weather and he intends to pay COM
mon labor IS a day on these jobs. One
is at Elk Park, between Butte and
Boulder, a heavy project, with posi-
bility of another coming up.

wages, I am going to pay SIS. And /

Moore Newspaper
Plant Lost In Fire

The plant of the Moore Independent
Printing company was completely
burned in an early morning fire re-
Gently. Loss, estimated at $500, was
fully covered. Plans for rebuilding
or otherwise establishing the bust
ness have not been made by w. A.
Jones, proprietor.
The fire was discovered by the crew
of the Milwaukee passenger train OPP
Grating between Lewistown and Har-
lowton. but the building was then in
a mass of flames and nothing could be
done to ave it. The train crew noti-
fled the telephone operator and woke
many people who have no phones by
the engine whistle. Mr.. Jones, who
also was one of the first to discover
the fire, turned in a fire alarm but the
building was SO badly burned hat all
efforts we're concentrated on nearby
structures.
Water was turned onto the Wood
hotel, which was badly scorched and
otherwise damaged. A nearby house
was also damaged and several roofs
were fired by flying sparks and shin
giles. Hay stored a block away caught
fire.
Though he is not certain, Mr. Jones
believes defective wiring caused the
fire.
About 1910 George Beasley Of Lew
istown started publishing the Inland
Empire. The establishment passed
into the hands of several owners I'M
til about 10 years ago when J. R. Over
holzer, who now publishes the River
Press at Fort Benton, purchased and
| operated the establishment for about
two years. He leased the place and
moved to Fort Benton. About four
years ago he leased the business to
Mr.. Jones, who has been running it
since. with the exception of about
seven months spent in Iowa about a
year ago.
Mr.. Jones has been in the news
paper business In Montana "a years
going to Choteau in 1896, where he
lived until 1899, when he moved to
Lewistown and worked for the Fergus
County Argus and the Democrat-News
going from there to Red Lodge to work
for T. j. Johns for some time.

JOHN 7. BARROW, EARLY-DAY PIONEER, RELATES EXPERIENCES
ON THE "DRAG- TRAIL" NEAR FORT MAG0RMDS AND HIS FIRST
VISIT TO A P1EGAM AND BlAGKF00T IMDIAM CAMP NEAR FORT
(By GRACE STONE COATES)

John T. Barrows, pioneer Of Mon
tana and son Of a pioneer, tells the
following story OF the time when as
a lad of 16 he followed the drag
trail" Of a herd Of 1,500 stock cattle
from old Ubet to the DIS home
ranch near Fort Maginnis:
"One hot day the foreman and our
straw boss had gone ahead to look for
water, leaving us an inert and mmov
able herd on a dry benchland. One
of the boys found a soldiers overcoat
in almost complete disrepair and this
garment was modishly arranged upon
a large calf. When the surprised ami.
NAL was released his demeanOr was
almost entirely changed; from one of
the slowest of our deadheads he was
transformed into something demoniac.
With elevated tail and prOtruding
tongue, giving voice to the most as
the center of the herd, transmitting
to them, by some strange alchemy, his
own fervor. In a moment some Of us
were undergoing a new experience. We
were riding pell-mell after a stampeded
herd; and thus rode for a mile or
more, the ground trembling, the air
filled with thunderous believing Of
frightened cattle, until the maddened
herd poured over the brow Of a steep
hill into the narrow valley of Beaver
creek. This was a wonderful sight to
see, but not more wonderful than the
celebrity with which u foreman and
his right-hand IA mounted their
horses and fled from impending de-
struction. The herd was checked In
the valley, and after milling for twenty
minutes or so the innocent cause of
the stampede was removed and the
herd settled back to comparative quiet.
Then began the search for two per-
fectly good pairs of boots and socks,
for our superior officers had been sur
prised while enjoying a foot-bath. To
this day who put the coat on the calf
remains a mystery.
mo reasonable complaint could be
lodged against those in authority in
u party, but rebellion is latent, and
anything tending to the discontinue
OF the boss was more or less openly
welcomed. On one dark and threat
ening night there was some %uneasiness
in the herd and the boss, moved by
natural anxiety, left his bed, lighted
a lantern, and leaving it hung in his
tent, went outside to listen. After he
had been gone for some moments one
of the boys blew out the lantern.
Presently we heard a shout which re-
manned unanswered, only to be fol-
lowed by more shouts, growing fainter
but intermixed with language more
pungent. A cold rain set In and was
still falling at dawn when our drip
ping and exasperated superior found
camp.
Near the site OF Lewistown we left
the Carol trail and crossed Big Spring

fifty lodges of Piegans or Blackfeet
Indians under Chief Running Rabbit.
They were near the eastern frontier
of their vaguely defined territory and
somewhat apprehensive of their savage
neighbors. Their camp was SO at
tractive to me that I could hardly be
relied upon at meal time in the cook
house. I was interested in everything
/ saw, the decorated tepees Of tanned
elkskin, the old ones begrimed with
smoke and travel-stained with fading
efflgies and symbols. the new ones spic-
and-span and glazing; the domestic
occupations and home industries-tan-
ming of skins, making Of pemmican,
preparation Of winter clothing, plain
and ceremonial, the painting Of buf-
falo robes for personal wear. Every
sight was q new page in my book Of
experiences. ! was q visitor, tolerated
If not welcomed, in many of the tepees.
I could not be voluble, for these Indi-
ans had little or no English; I knew
nothing of the sign language and had
only two or three words of the Chinook
jargon; but my eyes were always open,
and through these my youthful curl
osity vas m~easurably satisfied. With
out fully approaching it at the time I
was enjoying an opportunity of study
ing the Plains Indians almost I'M
spoiled by civilization. This people had
been in contact with the trader for
almost SO years, and had forsaken
primitive weapons for the more eff
fective arms of the white man. They
had cultivated a taste for foods un-
known to their ancestors and clamored
for the whisky occasionally to be had
from outlaw traders. Yet, generally
speaking, they depended as had their
forebears upon the native products Of
their bleak prairies and isolated noun
tains-the game so plentiful and the
fruit so scanty. They were still in the
age of barter. One of my companions
tried in vain to purchase a pony for
a IS bill. The paper symbol was ex-
amined with great gravity and earnest
ness by the Indian and his advisors and
handed back with a negative sign. But
the purchase was arranged quite
promptly for three silver dollars"
