c of time. You have an hour" The
hint was taken, their trunks packed
with more haste than care, and they
reached the depot none too soon.
All the young officers knew about
Fort Ellis was that it was supposed to
be near the headwaters of the Missouri
river. They couldn't find v a man
of the region. They left the railroad
at Corinne, Utah, to take a s"tagecoach
to Montana, land on the following day
saw the stagecoach arrive. It turned
the corner near hotel with the
horses at full gallop, and the air made
merry with the crack of the drivers
whip" wrote McClernand. II learned
afterwards that this speed was attained
only while passing through a village.
Doubtless the autocrat of the ribbons
imagined he increased his Importance
there among the villagers"
The night at Corinne was nioSy with
bull-whackers, mule-skinners, rowdies
and toughs celebrating all night, while
occasionally some reveller would fire
his pistol at random. Since the hotel
was built of thin pine boards, there
was some reason for its guests to won
der where the next pistol shot might
land.
The soldiers were up bright and
early, and McClernand noticed with
disapproval that the stage coach had
MT been swept out. He helpfully called
a guards attention to this, and the
guard gave him a dirty look and NUT
tered something about "tenderfoot,"
took his ugly sawed-off shotgun and
climbed on the stage. He placed him
self and the gun so that the entire
front seat was occupied. McClernand
learned right there that frontier ways
were different from his, and decided
he better change his instead of trying
to change the other fellows.
The driver, three guardsmen, and the
three "tenderfeet" we're the only ones
on the satge. The road was dusty, the
view monotonous, but at last through
the depression beyond Pleasant valley
they saw the mountain peaks of Mon
tana.
McClernand remembered this ascent
from a later occasion, when a Jew was
among the passengers. All the way up
he kept urging the driver to "Whoop

dried peaces. On the fifth day they
reached Helena, a town Of 1000.
At Helena, Lieut.. Scofield and Lieut..
McClernand were ordered to Fort Shaw,
while Lieut.. Jerome was to go on to
Fort Ellis.
An 18-hour stage ride brought them
to Fort Shaw. They had no clothing
suitable for the field, so the captain
of their squadron took them to the
quartermaster, and he fitted them out
in privates' uniforms. The uniforms
were not well cut, nor did they fit;
and in this garb they appeared before
General Gibbon. Their superior officer
received them cordially, until he found
they had come to report for duty. Then
he ordered them to get into proper un-
form and come back and report with
out delay. They had to &c a mile back
to camp, and come back in full uniform

were only beginning to taste the dub

fore dinner. After dinner the gentle
men joined us and we gathered in the
saloon cabin for a sing-song. The d.
kota badlands did not echo our songs
but to any stray Indian along the banks
of the Missouri the sentimental airs Of
"Lorena," annie Laurie" 1.-THE Bridge
and WED Better Bide a Vice." must
have sounded strangely foreign.
About opposite Fort Pierre we met
the Rosebud to which we transferred
to make the next leg Of the journey
to Bismarck. The Far West returned
to the lower Missouri.
In Bismarck I said lingering good
byes to my new friends for here I must
wait the arrival of the smaller boat that
would take me up the Yellowstone to
my destination.
The Coulson's had cordially invited
me to be their guest on the trip to Fort
Benton, although the Commodore
warned me that the Yellowstone was
very low and I might risk losing the
last boat of the season. Naturally I de-
clined the invitation, much a. I enjoyed
the gay company.
During the four or five days I spent
in Bismarck, I felt truly that I was in
the far west, not that I was disappoint-
ed about hotel accommodations, for
they were really much better than I'd
expected, but the country seemd very
bleak and barren, the yellowish brown
buffalo grass. the flat never-ending,
treeless prairies.
In q few days the Big Horn came
along and I embarked for the last stage.

gay place, and the boys were in no
hurry to leave it. The Department
Commander, General Augur, evidently
thought the feasting and festivities were
continuing too long, for one day he met
the boys on the street and said that he
supposed they were leaving that day,
and bade them goodbye. They answer

The general drew his watch, and po-

for many years. There was a Lieut..
Sibley, inventor of the famous Sibley
tent and stove, and his bride, also go
ing to the fort. There were two Ursu-
line Sisters, who would be the founders
OF the Convent in Miles City. All were
most c%ongenial and I enjoyed this part
OF the journey immensely. One reason
was I could be completely carefree as I
was able to hire a middle-aged color
ed woman, going as a maid to the COM
mandant in Keogh, to assume full
charge of my baby, my clothes and my
cabin for the trip and a trustworthy
reliable woman I found her.
Soon after we left the pier at Bis
marck, two young men rowing a small
boat hailed us and begged to be taken
on board. I was standing on the deck
and remember perfectly their eager,
laughing faces. One, a blonde, was an
Ed Hall, the other with dark eyes and
hair was a George Cole. They were a
jolly addition to party and almost
spoiled my baby carrying her about the
deck. Later in Miles City they came
to dinner several times but I do not
know whether they stayed in the west
or not.
Several times we saw small herds of
buffalo along the banks of the Yellow
stone and occasionally Indians, but
neither was hostile appearing nor did
anyone seem alarmed.
The boats burned wood and stopped
at many places they called wood yards
where men had cut and stacked great
piles OF wood to sell to the passing
boats. More and more frequently the
crew had. to pry the flat bottomed boat
from sand bars. Soundings were taken
continually and these were passed up
and repeated to us On deck. Everything

interested us and there was a good deal
of speculation about whether or not the
boat would be able to get past Buffalo
Rapids, a few miles below Miles City,
but evidently they proved no obstacle
for we arrived about 2:3C p. M, Aug.
II, 1880, the last boat of the season, as
it proved.
The landing was made at a small
wharf in Old Town, as it vas called,
after Miles City had picked up its af-
fairs and moved two miles up the river,
near the junction of the Tongue and
Yellowstone, to be closer to the protect
ing arm of Fort Keogh.
My husband and eldest brother were
on the wharf to meet me and whisk us
into a carriage in which we drove swift
~ to temporary home. It was a
one-rocun log cabin. owned and rented
by a Mrs. Routhier, located on Pleas
ant street somewhere between Fourth
and Fifth streets. It was as clean as
could be with lace curtains over shining
windows, a four post bed piled with
white pillows and our own soft, heavy
California blankets. There were easy
chairs, a dining table and the walls
were covered with white canvas. It
made me feel a. though pioneer
ing was no great hardship because Sec
reilly, I had feared that everyone in that
western land had gone native and liv-
ed in wigwams.
Mrs. Routhier cooked our meals and
served them in our rooms. I don't re-
member what We ate then but I know
I often enjoyed buffalo steaks and be-
ing young and interested in everything
I do not remember missing fruits and
vegetables, perhaps We had them, I do
not know.
When the days grew colder we NOV

ed to a two-roomed shack that had a
cook stove and a heater. Here we stay
ed until the 5th day of November,
when it grew 70 bitterly cold we fled
to the hotel and my husband bought a
house then being built and had it hur-
riedly finished. There were only four
or five rooms but it was new and warm
and quite pleasant.
Ladies called, we were entertained,
we went to church, VT had friends at
the fort, I wasn't at all lonely. There
was always something of interest. AL
though I saw nothing of the rougher
and seamier side of a frontier town I
shared in the common experience of the
flood in the spring of 81. Main street
was a wide canal down which we rowed
at night in a government boat with
lanterns at either end clear across a
swollen Tongue river to the higher
ground on the western side where our
good friend the captain had a govern
ment ambulance and mules meet US and
carry us to the fort. There we spent
a merry six weeks before we returned
to town. BY that time the house had
been cleaned, the mud vas dry and the
huge sage brush that adorned every
ones yard wa luxuriant.
Indians were always camped in their
buffalo hide teepees along the Ton
que river. One tribe had recently sur
rendered to Colonel Miles. My hus-
band and his brother had the contract
to supply this tribe with beef so we Of
ten had visitors from the camp. Some
times they brought gifts of moccasins
and beaded bags, sometimes articles to
sell but more often these were begging
calls. I remember one old squaw, who
would come after supper while we
would be sitting on the porch. One
evening she sat down on the ground
near my husbands chair. She sat
there silent for a long time then very
sadly and softly said, mo flour, no cof-
fee, no sug', no nothing!" That was too
much for my husbands tender heart,
Mrs. Lo was served coffee and biscuits
Immediately and given a gunny sack
OF groceries to take home.
I had never seen an Indian grave, so
one Of vi picnics that spring had that
gruesome object as a destination. It
was somewhere among the low hills
south OF Keogh. I remember how green
tne nils were and how surprising the
wild flowers, all were complete strang-
ers to me. I heard larks, too, for the
first time.
There among the spring flowers was
The fourposted last resting place of an
indian grave. At the foot Of the grave
were his worldly possessions, horn
spoons, strings of beads, bows and ar
rows, whetstones and even an old tin
cup.
The boats came early that spring
bringing us letters, packages and news
papers weeks old but eagerly read fol-
all OF that. Many more people came
that summer. Miles City hummed with
business. That fall the Northern Pa
ctfic pushed its rails into town and we
were NO longer the frontier, we were

The four horses of the stage were
changed every 10 or Is miles, at the
relay and eating stations. The relay
stations were of rough logs, and where
food was served at one end of the build
ing, and the other end was used for
the stable. The partitions between the

ing at snail's pace up the heavy grade.
The driver said nothing, but when the
stage reached the top, gave the horses
their heads and the coach rocked and
careened down the stiff grade at a
furious pace.
