lures. In compound fracture the
bone has pierced through the flesh
and caused wound. Such a case
must be treated very carefully. If the
wound has caused arterial hemor-
rhage bright squirting blood) of
course the blood flow must be
checked at once. If the doctor will
not arrive in few minutes. gently
apply an antiseptic TO the wound and
the end of the bone. Then cover
lightly with sterilized gauze. A per-
son with broken bone should not
be moved unless emergency splints
are applied. This is easy to learn
from first aid guide book.
More accidents and injuries occur
in the home and in automobiles than
at work or in any other kind of hui
man activity. so it is especially i'm
portant to have first aid supplies at
home and in the car. They also
should be available at work, In
sports, and elsewhere.
1t can be seen from these simple
rules of first aid, that the necessary
materials are an antiseptic, sterilized
gauze and burn treatment. Other
first aid materials usually can be
made up on the spot. Adhesive tape
is always handy for fastening wound
dressings or splints in place.
First aid does not replace the doc
tor. 1t is important because a doc
tor is not always present, and II is
usually desirable to do something
before he can arrive. First aid is
one of these three means of reducing
accidents and preventing serious con-
sequences from unavoidable injuries:
First-Play safe to prevent acct
dents.
Second-First aid.
Third-Be sure that necessary
medical attention is secured prompt
ly.
Accidents will happen. Many OF
us learn through pain and discom-
fort that an umbrella is not a para
chute. But If sonny succeeds in
proving it for himself, the next best
thing to prevention is to meet him at
the landing field with the right COM
bination of first aid knowledge, gauze
and forbearance.
Your physician or druggist can
give complete first aid advice. and
indicate where first aid manuals can
be secured.

the Mormon religion in New York

secution first to Ohio, then to Mis-
souri,, and finally to Illinois, where

Wings and the Democrats began
bidding for Mormon support and
Smith began having decisions of
grandeur as to his political power.

condemning publicly both parties

the Presidency of the United States.

figure in its early history as the
"Sky Pilot of Deadwood," a career

Jefferson Randolph Smith, it's mayor

Klondike gold rush, and one of the
most picturesquely villainous fig
ures in frontier history. A native
of Georgia, Smith was a gambler In
various Colorado mining towns, a
ICON man. of the first water (his
nickname of "Soapy" coming from
one of his schemes of fleeing the
suckers" with cakes of soap
wrapped In $40 bills), and later the
king of the Denver underworld.
When he went to Alaska he be-
came the big man of Skagway, but
his high-handed methods soon got
him into trouble. There was talk
of vigilante methods to rid the town
OF him, but Frank Reid, an en-
gineer, saved them the trouble.
"Soapy" tried to bluff Reid, but
Reid couldn't be bluffed. A bullet
from his gun put an end to this
most famous bad man of the last
frontier.

from Soapy's kind, lost his life in
the wild days of the old frontier. He

it was "end Of steep' on the Kan
sas Pacific. Then he was called
to the roaring cattle town of abb
lene, Kan, which he "tamed"-not
with six-shooters but with his fists.
In eleven months Smith set a rec
ord in making it a law-abiding place
which not even his successor, the
famous Wild Bal Hickok, could
match. But he met his death at

The First Great Fur Trader

The First Great Fur Trader
a MERICANS not only have good
\ reason to remember Manuel Lisa
as the first great fur trader in the
trans Mississippi West. but they also
have good reason to remember him
gratefully for his patriotic service to
the republic during the War of 1872.
Born in New Orleans about 1915. the
son of Spanish official, at the age of
twenty he owned boat In which he
engaged In commerce on the Missis
sippi. By the beginning of the Nine
teenth century he was a large land
owner near st. Louis where he opened
a store for QUILTING Indian traders.
This led naturally to his going into
that business himself, at first with the
Usage Indians on the Missouri under a
grant from the Spanish authorities Of
Louisiana.
Then Lewis and Clark made their
historic exploring trip through the
newly-acquired Louisiana territory,
and Lisa was quick to see the oppor-
tunities offered on the Upper Missouri.
He formed a partnership with William
Morrison and Pierre Menard Of Kas
kaskia, ILL.,, under the name of Lisa.
Menard & Morrison, and In 1907 set
out with party Of traders, guided by
George Drouillard, who had been with
Lewis and Clark.
That winter they spent on the Yel-
lowstone hunting, trapping and trading
with the Crows, and the following
summer found Lisa back in st. Louis.
proud of the success of his first ven
ture and dreaming of even greater en-
terprises. The result was the Organi-
zation of the Missouri Fur company.
During the next five years the Mis-
souri, Fur company prospered and
Manuel Lisa rose to commanding
position in it and in the fur trade Of
the West. Meanwhile, during many
journeys up and down the Big Muddy,
he had won the confidence and esteem
of nearly all the Indian tribes along
the river. So when the War of 1872
broke out and the British tried to in
cite the Indians of that region against
the United States, it was only natural
that Gov. William Clark should ap-
point Lisa sub-agent to these tribes
to counterfeit the British influence.
The Spaniard did his job well. He
not only organized war parties against
some of the tribes who were allies of
the British but he secured pledges of
friendship and peace from nearly all
the Missouri tribes which kept them
out of the war. If it had not been for
Manuel Lisa's efforts, the War of 1912
might have had a far different ending.
Lisa died in 1920 but to the end Of his
days he dominated the Missouri Fur
company and, so long as he did, no
other fur company was able to secure
foothold on the Upper Missouri.

Seth Bullock, Western Sheriff

Seth Bullock, Western Sheriff
WHEN Seth Bullock died at Dead.
w wood, s. D., in 1919, it was re
called that he had not only been a
lifelong personal friend Of Theodore
Roosevelt but that he had also been
perhaps the most typical old-time sher-
iff of the West. AS such he became a
figure of myth and legend which he,
more than once, dispelled in laconic
fashion. Once an fastener referred
to him as a imam killer" When they
told Seth Bullock that, his only reply
was: "They say I've killed q men
Son. I'll tell you what, I never killed
but. two and I didn't kill them soon
enough"
Although he became famous as an
American frontier type, Bullock was
not native of the United States.
Born in Ontario, Canada, in 1847, he
came to Montana at the age of twenty
and established himself as a dealer In
mining supplies in Helena. By thar
time the famous Montana vigilantes
had pretty well wiped out crime as an
organized force. But there were still
lawless men there and young Bullock,
allying himself with the forces of law
and order. learned many things which
were to stand him In good stead In
his future career as peace officer IN
a new gold camp-Deadwood In the
Black Hills of South Dakota.
He was among the first to reach
there and he took part in many of the
stirring events in the early days Of
the gold rush Of 1876. When a pro-
visional government was established
in Deadwood he was made sheriff, and
when Lawrence county was organized
he was elected its first sheriff.
His biggest problem was the road
agents who infested the trails and
preyed upon the stage coaches with
their shipments of gold dust out of the
of these which gave him his greatest
reputation as man-hunter. In one
case he followed fleeing road agent
clear across South Dakota, down
through Nebraska and into Iowa to
the town of Missouri Valley before he
got his man."
1t was during Bullock's career as
sheriff that his friendship with Theo
6ore Roosevelt. then young ranch
man in North Dakota, began. So at
the outbreak of the Spanish-American
war he was one of the first to organ
ize company for Roosevelt's regiment
of Rough Riders, although he never
got any nearer Cuba than Chickamau.
ga park in Tennessee. Bullock was
responsible for the erection of moo
ument to T. r. on a mountain by the
same name north of Deadwood. ano
he lay dying in 1919, he asked To-
be buried at White Rocks where the
monument to his friend would Look

FUNDS FOR TWO
 COUNTIES HAVE
 BEEN DEPLETED
No More Money on Hand
 to Pay Bounty on Eagles and Hair Seals

Exhaustion of two Territorial bounty funds appropriated by the 1883 session of the Alaska Legisla- ture was announced today by w. G. Smith, Territorial Treasurer. The funds for payment of bounty on eagles and those to pay similar rewards on hair seals are entirely wiped out and no more will be available until after the meeting of the 1885 Legislature, which will occur next January.
 The 1883 Legislature appropriated $25, ,000 for hair seal bounties, and $7,500 for eagle bounties. A fee of $2 is paid for each hair seal scalp, and $1 for eagle claws.
 Payments have been abnormally heavy during the past Is months, probably due to unemployment. Idle men have turned to eagle and seal hunting as source of reve- nue. Tn funds for wolf and coyote bounties, $25,000, are ample to meet all demands on them until the Legislature meets, MT Smith said.
 "The claims for bounties are valid obligation of the Territory under the provisions of the laws covering them," MT Smith pointed out today Tt is presumed, there fore, that the. next Legislature, converting January, 1885, will promptly appropriate sufficient funds to meet all deficits. All claims presented are being vouch- cred and placed on file, and in the event of an appropriation these will be promptly passed for pay ment and warrants sent out in set tlement,". he added.
