at the fort told us. I told the others
the Indians were coming!
Sullivan looked and said, Eyes, they
re coming!'
I went after the horses, and when I
got back to the wagon Sullivan was
standing Just where I'd left him, as If
he were praying. I hollered louder to
him to 60 to the wagon and get the
ropes. Belcher was still in the wagon
loading the revolver. The first words
Sullivan said when he came back to his
speech was to ask Belcher to bring him
a drink out Of the demijohn.
When the horsemen came off the hill
they had to pass ove a low place for
half a mile before they were in sight
again, and near enough for us to tell
whether they were Indians or white
men. While they were out OF sight I
got the horses tied to the wagon. Bel
cher wanted to know who wa to use
the revolver, and Sullivan was still
praying. I told Belcher I had no use
for the revolver, and I did not take my
eyes off the place where the horsemen
would come into sight. I expected to
see Indians, but the first horseman to
come into view was a soldier. I can
never forget the relief I felt at that
moment. The first thing the soldiers
did was to surround the wagon and
ask, where is that man that came
with you from Bridger?" I appeared
to be the only one Of us three who
could us his voice, and I had hard
work to get the soldiers to believe that
the deserter had not come with us from
the fort. At first they seemed hostile,
but we joshed them into q good humor
and passed the demijohn-a courtesy
they seemed to appreciate.
It was near evening, and the soldiers
went q short distance away and made
camp. We felt happier that night than

Nez Perez Visitor Relates How
His Tribe Massacred Freiqhters

An aged Nez Perez Indian visiting
among the Gros Ventres near Hays this
summer told the story for the first time
from the Indians viewpoint, of the de-
struction Of a freight outfit Of several
wagons at the mouth of Crow creek on
the Missouri river a few days before
the sfx-day battle waged between Chief
Joseph and General Miles on Snake
creek, 81 years ago., Sept 80, to Oct. 5.
The old man, then In his early EOS,
was n OF Joseph's warriors. He re-
lated the story Of the long retreat
across Montana from Idaho, the Bat
tie Of the Big Hole, the crossing of the
party at Crow creek and the final bat
tie on Snake creek. It was after the
Nez Perez crossed the Missouri that
Chief Joseph delegated several young
men to scout timbered brakes for buff
falo. The supply of meat was running
low.
The young men, riding in twos, scat
tered north, east and west and were
soon out Of sight of the party. Riding
in a westerly direction along a well
Travelled trail, two young warriors over
took a freight outfit. The river had been
low all that summer and navigation
above Cow creek was impossible. Pro-
visions and all kinds OF goods destined
for Fort Assinniboine, Fort Benton,
Helena and other points were unloaded
at Cow creek and freighted the re-
mainder Of the way. The road was
known as the Helena trail. It wound
north between the Little Rockies and
the Bear Paw mountains, skirted the
latter and followed the river to Benton.
The freighters discovered the Indians
almost as soon as the Indians saw them
instead Of making overtures Of peace
or friendliness, probably because they
had been warned Of the Nez Perez war
party, the white men opened fire on
the two scouts. One was killed at the
first shot, and the second fell mortally
wounded.
The freighters continued on their
way, thinking both men were killed.
A short time later the Nez Perez came
upon their dead comrade and the dy-
The Hardin tribune-herald. [volume] (Hardin, Mont.) 1925-1973, 1934-11-09

ing warrior. He told them Of the en-
counter with the white men before he
died. He was questioned whether they
had molested the white men and told
them how the freighters fired on them
without warning.
The Nez Perez warriors, nerves frayed
by the long journey and worry over the
helpless women and children, they were
trying to get to the safety of the Can
adam line, sprang on their ponies and,
despite the advice Of older men, took
after the wagon train, vowing to avenge
the deaths of their friends.
A mile or SO along the TRAIL the
wagons were making their slow prog
resS when the warriors swooped on
them, whooping and yelling, brandish-
ing their weapons and making the
circle" around their victims. Hastily
the half dozen men drew the wagons
together for protection, piled sacks Of
flour and sugar for breastworks and
opened fire on the Nez Perces. They
didn't have a chance. The Indians out
numbered them. They were better shots
and better armed than the white men.
As the Indians drew the deadly circle
nearer and nearer the wagons, one by
one the fre1ghterS' guns were S1lenced
until in less than 10 minutes all was
over. Freighters and their bull teams
were dead. Not an Indian was killed,
although mt young man was shot
through the thigh and several horses
were killed.
The Indians fell on the loaded wag-
ons, taking everything they might need
on the remainder of their journey. The
men were scalped, bags of flour were
ripped open and scattered over the
prairie and the whole looted train set
afire.
To this day, down on Cow creek one
car see where the wagons made their
stand. In IN irregular circle lie a few
pieces Of rusted and heat-twisted iron,
bolts, charred wood and bleached bones,
marking the tragic end Of the freight
ers, whose deaths were a prelude to the
deaths Of many, both red and white, a
few miles north.

Miles Cavanaugh, ST., spent many
years IN the mining industry Of the
West Shortly after his marriage at
Dover, N. j., he moved to Michigan
and from there to Colorado during
the gold excitement at Pixies peak.
IN 1858, leaving his family in Color
ado, he came to the new mining dis
trict Of Virginia City and three years
later went back to get his family.
He was one of the first mining men
IN Silver Bow county and a pioneer
settler Of Butte. President Cleveland
gave him supervision Of the selection
Of mineral lands from public lands
Of Montana. He was an authority on
mining.
He died at Helena, Jan. 3, 1915, aged

RECOVERY DENIED
ON REALTY NOTES
IN PARK SAVINGS
Original Owners Declared to
Have No Claim in Court
Ruling.
SECURITIES DECLARED
FRAUDULENTLY SOLD
Had Been Disposed Of by De-
positor Indorsing Them
in Blank.

The original owners of real estate
notes fraudulently sold by the Park
Savings Bank cannot recover them
from legitimate purchasers, Justice
Peyton Gordon ruled in District Su-
preme Court today in passing upon
the first case of this kind to arise out
of the collapse of the bank.
Although an appeal was taken, 1t
was expected Justice Gordon's decl-
sion will have the effect of closing
this avenue of recovery to numerous
customers of the bank who left their
notes there for collection and later
learned they had been sold.
Suit Brought by Executrix.
The suit decided today was filed
by Mamie Counselman, executrlX OF
the estate of Katherine M. Counsel
man. The latter had purchased four
$500 notes from the bank, leaving
them there for collection, after in
dorsing them in blank. When the
notes became due, the maker applied
for an extension. Without consult
ing the owner, the bank notified the
maker it had agreed to the extension.
Subsequently the bank sold the
notes to the defendant, Rufus F
Pitzer, 1922 Decatur street. Robert
F. Stunz, then executive vice presi-
dent of the bank, wrote Ritzer that
the due date of the notes had been
extended. 1t was conceded the latter
had paid full value for the notes and
through Attorney Aubrey st. c. Ward
we'll he contended he had good title
to them.
Opinion of Court.
In granting a directed verdict for
Pitzer. Justice Gordon held the orig
inal owner, by indorsing the note lr
blank and leaving them with the
bank for collection, had placed her
self in a position where she could not
now dispute the title of subsequent
purchaser of value. The court pointee
out the subsequent purchaser had am
pie reason to believe the due date
of the notes had been properly ex-
tended and that there was nothins
to give him notice the original owne,
had not agreed to the extension, since
the bank apparently held the note!
in its own right.
