there I went to a circus. There
was a little black pony there. A
man asked the pony how old he
was. The pony counted with his
right foot to five and told us how
old he was. Then he told US how
many days there were in a week
with his right foot. Then the man
asked the pony how many days
he wanted to work.

Oiling of Highway
to Sieben Is Started

Recently the road crew of the state
highway commission moved in on the
Helena-Great Falls federal aid high
way, prepared to oil the road between
Helena and Sieben. The grading vas
completed some time ago, and the road
has been in regular use.
All it needs to be completed in every
respect is ar oiled surface, and the
crew, which will begin its work at once,
is prepared to add that requirement.
It is expected that the work will take
some weeks, since the distance between
Helena and Sieben is between Is and 20
miles.
Besides the main highway which be-
gins with the northern end of Main
street, there is a side road to the Hell
ena airport, which also is to be oiled.
When this final improvement is given
the Great Falls-Helena highway it will
be included among the finished through
roads Of the state.

Belgium faces many strikes.

on behalf of the Indians that rney had
not intended to kill the stage driver but
fired merely to frighten him. It may
be true that they did not at first in
tend to kill Fritz but we're carried away
by a frenzy Of excitement when the
white man lost his head and jumped
from the rig. The three bullet wounds
found ON the body, however, could not
all have been accidental.
The day Of the Indian raid is past
and the Ford now chugs past the rest
ing place Of the last victim of the red
man. This sketch is written so that
the present resident who has nothing
to fear but drought and grasshoppers
may have some notion of the time 40
years ago when the shadow of death
hung over the hardy pioneers who were
breaking a way that those who follow
ed them might live in peace.

the north. Fritz seems to have lost
his head from fright, and although
armed with a rifle, instead Of turning
his team and attempting to return to
the station, fighting off the Indians
as he went, he jumped from the rig, al
lowing his horses to 60 as they pleased
and leaving the rifle in the blackboard.
Chased by the Indians, he attempted
to reach the rocks at the top of the
hill but was overtaken by the Indians
between two small hills and killed. The
Indians afterwards claimed that they
had not intended to kill him but that
he wa killed by a chance shot, fired
merely to scare him, but three bullet
wounds on the body disproved this
claim.
Bishop, who drove stage on the same
run with Fritz, came in the next day
from Powder river and reported that
he had not passed Fritz on the road as
he should have done had all been well.
Sample Immediately sent word to Nc
Cone, who was foreman of a hay crew
which had been cutting hay for the
stage company all summer and was
then busy with his crew at Little Mis-
souri,, As miles from Pennell station.
McCone at once started to look up
Fritz, taking with him Frank Emmett,
one of the hay crew. McCone and
Emmett followed the stage road care
fully for trace of the place where the
blackboard had turned out. They failed
to find any trace but noticed a dark
object ON the hillside which Emmett
declared was a rock. Next day they
started over the route again, and on
nearing the scene of the tragedy, Nc
Cone noticed the turkey buzzards hov-
ering over the place where they had
e the dark object. Here they found
the object of their search, badly bloat-
ed and decomposed from ten days ly-
ing on the hillside and with the flesh
of the face torn by the buzzards.
McCone returned to Pencil station
where he found a broken shovel and a
hoe, the only tools available. With
these and blankets, he returned to the
place where the body Of Fritz lay.Ow-
ing to the hardness of the soil, it was
not possible to dig a grave deeper than
a foot, but in this shallow grave the
remains Of poor Fritz were placed. The
grave was then covered with what
stones could be found handy, but two
weeks later rock was hauled by team
to protect the body from the coyotes.
Senator McCone then took up the
trail of the blackboard and soon found
it where the Indians had overtaken the
team, had taken all of the harness ex-
cept the names and collars. The mail
sack they had cut open, cutting off the
riveted ends but taking with them the
solid leather center. Among the mail
was a corset which was addressed to
the daughter of General Whistler, then
stationed at Fort Keogh. The Indians
took the whalebone out of the corset
and with 1t had constructed a small
corral on the soft earth of a pocket
gopher's diggings. Inside this little
fence they dumped the letters from the
pouch, after opening most Of the larger

letters. Senator McCone gathered up
the mail and forwarded it to its des-
tination, himself taking the remains of
the corset to Fort Keogh. General
Whistler's daughter, it is said, preserv-
ed this as a memento of the event.
Sitting Bulls tribes were where Pop
lar now is with Captain Reed and four
companies Of soldiers on guard. The
Indians story of the tragedy came out
later in a roundabout way. McCone
had the contract for the stage line from
Glendive to Fort Buford. At Fort Peck,
now Poplar, there was a restaurant
run by Mcdonald who had a Sioux
squaw, Louise Long Dog. A brother
Of this squaw, Johnny Long Dog, was
n Of the party of eight who killed
the unfortunate Fritz. Johnny Long Dog
told his sister of the circumstances of
The killing, claiming at first he him
self killed Fritz, and the squaw, like
others of her sex, being unable to keep
a secret told Mcdonald and the facts
thus became known.
Johnny Long Dog afterwards became
war chief Of the Sioux and with his
immediate family and following at
tended a Glendive fair. Among the
other events, which included a balloon
ascension, was an Indian parade in
which all the Indians, dressed in their
bravest finery, participated. At the
head of the parade was Johnny Long
Dog accompanied by his two daughters
on ponies.
Long Dog was acquainted with Nc
Cone and insisted that the senator's
two little daughters should mount be-
hind his own and take part in the
parade.
It was Long Dog who made the claim
