Tor General 6ully's army, operating
against the Sioux. He became mas
ter in 1855, taking his vessel. the

navigation On the Missouri. He soon
acquired an exceptional knowledge Of
the upper waters and his skill as q
pilot caused him to be employed fire.
quently by the military authorities.
Marsh always plotted his own vessels.
Early In 1873 he gave names to
many Of the physical features Of the
Yellowstone valley when he carried
General g. A. Forsyths party Of re-
connaissance to a point near the
mouth Of the Powder. In the sum-
mer Of that year he cooperated with
the Stanley Custer expedition along
the Yellowstone, and two years later
carried General ]. w. Forsyth's ex-
petition nearly so miles above POM
pegs Pillar.
In 1876, In the historic Far West,
Marsh cooperated with the Custer
Terry expedition, forcing his boat up
the tortuous channel of the Bighorn
to the mouth Of the Little Bighorn.
From there he brought down the
wounded from the Custer battlefield,
and starting from Fort Pease, In the
afternoon Of July 8. took his vessel
to Fort Abraham Lincoln. a distance
Of TO miles, In the unparalleled
time of 81 hours.
Went Back to Mississippi
The close of the Sioux wars and
the advent Of railroads to the Upper
Missouri had by 1882 paralyzed the
steamboat industry. Marsh went back
to the Mississippi and remained in
service on its waters for 81 years.
A revival of steamboating on the
Upper Missouri brought him again to
the region In 1908, at first in the en-
ploy Of General w. d. Washburn and
later Of the Benton Packet company
He made his home in Bismarck, where
his life and exploits have become
legendary, and retired about 1910. His
wife died In 1906. Four children were
left.
Marsh was man somewhat above
medium height, Of sinewy body and
great strength. He was keen-sighted,
alert and quick Of movement, and
deliberate in speech.
His skill as pilot and his fear
lessness in time of danger were rec
ognized by ALL" the biograpf1er con-
cludes.

 Tho commission held tho com. pany was mot legally" warranted in reducing, rates, which they hold wero reasonable maximum charges. The area charge. they said, whilo not accurate, had boen found ant- isfn ctory by most users of elec- trIcity, and had resulted yh q grcater .uses of it.
