Treaties Might Bar
War Debt Dodgers

John J. Holmes, Montana auditor
and commissioner Of insurance, Is
studying state laws and international
treaties to determine whether OF not
corporations domiciled In any foreign
country which has repudiated it's World
war debt to the United States should
be permitted to transact business IA the
United States.
His decision on the application Of the
French Union and Universal Insurance
company OF Paris, France, Is expected
to establish precedent, If the aplica-
into Is denied
he win not announce his decision
he said, until a thorough study OF the
situation is made by his department.
He also pointed out that his decision
would not be retroactive and that his
opinion is not to be construed to mean
that foreign companies already licensed
to do insurance business In Montana
would be disturbed for the present by
the decision on the French company's
application.

record was: I'VE left the Platte about
eight miles above Deer creek"
That original start for the Bozemar
trail was in the vicinity Of the present
Lockett, Wyo. The next year the de-
partures from the Platte were made
about 80 miles down the Platte, where
now is located the town OF Orpha. Wyo
This latter point Is commonly treated
by historians as the southern beginning
OF that pioneer route, Notwithstanding
the 1868 first movement left the Platte
about eight miles above Deer creek. "
Fortyssix wagons and SO men made
up the emigrant train. B0zeman. ia
cobs and q man named Rafael were
the guides. Rafael had spent many q
year as trapper In the region tmme-
diately north Of the Platte and had
served as guide for soldiers there. The
diary Of Mr. Word rates Jacobs as
more experienced than Bozeman- The
writing Of them IN comparison runs
thus:
Jacobs is q mountaineer who has
spent q years Of his life Ia this coun-
try, and who came from Bannack City
especially to guide immigrants through.
Bozeman is a Georgian who has been
here only about four years"
Sand, sagebrush, desert, scanty water
supply, made travelling very slow. They
covered but 80 miles in the first three
DAYS away from the North Platte. They
found recent trails Of Indians. Since
they knew the Indians there were OPP
posed to white men travelling in that
region, they kept a sharp lookout all
along the way. In fact, that region had
been acknowledged by treaty as ex-
Indian hunting grounds ana
military protection was refused to all
whites invading it.
They reached an upper branch; OF
Powder river and followed 1t down 70
the main stream Continuing on, they
crossed and recrossed this main stream
and other branches, the movement be-
ing northward. On July 40, two weeks
after the departure from the North
platte. they stopped for a noontime
rest at a point described IN the diary
as con the north prong OF Lodgepole

through. and some Of the wagons this
evening are talking of 1t. look for a
split ia the train Ia the morning. For
nv part. now that we have turned and
gone part OF the way back, and have
got no more assistance. made up my
mind to 20 back to the old road and
make the best time can around"
But the next day. July 81, all Of the
wagons stayed together in movement
back toward the main Platte river trail
westward. The movement continued
from day to day, with pauses on ac-
count of various accidents, until the
arrival at the North Platte, 40 miles
west Of Deer creek. on Aug. 3. So the
time lost In the BOzeman tran effort
was from July to Aug. 3.
Although that wagon train effort Of
1858 was q failure, and although our
historians commonly mention 1854 as
the beginning OF Bozeman trail travel,
there Is another feature Of the case to
be considered. This feature has men
ton in the Word diary. On that July 81
when it was determined that all Of the
wagons would go together back 10 the
main North Platte trail, there was an
exception to the general movement. The
exception Is treated in these words:
@Ten Of our boys started out this
morning, going through to Bannack on
horseback, packing their grub. Think It
dangerous; doubt If they get through
with their horses, if they do with their
scalps."
The diary makes no further mention
of those 10 men. The present writer
never has seen nor heard any other
mention Of them. Did they get through?
Or did the Indians kill them OF turn
them back? If they got through, then
they were the first successful Bozeman
trail travellers.
The entire diary Of Samuel Word
concerning that pioneer journey Is
published In Volume Of the Montana
Historical society collections. 1t can be
barely sketched in the limited space of
this present writing. But readers who

creek" Then occurred an incident Of
critical Importance.
A band Of about $50 Indian warriors
appeared In view. Most Of them were
Cheyennes, with few Sioux. They
made signs and their chiefs approached
for a parley. The white people were
informed that they must turn back
that these and other Indians would
fight them If they advanced further.
There were no positively hostile DEM
onstrations, but some Of the warriors
committed some rudely offensive acts.
Then the Indians withdrew to await
developments.
The emiTants stayed there through
the remainder Of that day and until
after noon OF the next day. The loca-
ton Of that camp was few miles south
and east Of the present Buffalo, Wyo-,
or about As miles southeast Of the pres
emit Sheridan, Wyo. It was as far as
that 1853 emigrant train went ON the
new Bozeman-Jacobs trail. The diary
Of July 81 relates:
"we reluctantly broke corral this aft
ernoon and moved back four miles. Saw
after we left Indians on the hills watch
ing us. I look for them to attack US
most any time. We are encamped on
South Fork Of LodgepOle creek. We
have not yet entirely made up our
minds to go back. There is q great deal
OF contrariness in the train"
They kept on moving back, a few
miles each day, for several days. All
during that time there was wrangling
as TO whether to continue In the re-
treat or to turn and go on forward, de-
flying the Indians They sent messen-
gers back to Deer creek TO ask military
aid or other help. The messengers re-
turned and reported that no military
aid would come. Accompanying the re-
turned messengers was a man named
Bowler he WIS pioneer trapper in
that country. He ridicrled the weakness
Of Jacobs and Bozeman Ia failing to
urge the travellers through. An offer was
made to employ him as guide, but he
refused, saying he was In the employ
Of the soldiers and it was not permis-
sible for him to guide white people
through these Indian lands. In the
course Of the retreat to the main Ore
gon trail appears this diary record:
"Some Of the boys went today with
old man Bowler prospecting In the same
place we went week ago. The old man
first discovered gold there"
On July 90, when the messengers re-
burned, they brought some more war
news which Word recorded in his diary: |
'The boys bring back a heap Of news. |
One hundred thousand rehs taken pris-
al 4rIr

pieces. Sunpter fallen, and the devil

ion of the train is resumed on July so: |

xn June, 1853, John RI Bozeman and
q companion named Jacobs arrived 81
the North Platte river from a horse
hack trip they had made from Ban
mack City, or the placer mining region
known as the Beayerhead country. They
had secuted out q new course Of travel
for newcomers that was considerably
ahnrter than the course through south
ern Idaho. Their new course ran east
and north OF the Big Horn mountains.
At tbs Platte they began TO inform emil
grants OF the shorter distance over this
region and Of the better grass and wa
tar conditions along the way. The de-
terrant feature was the objection Of
the Sioux and Cheyenne Indians. New
erthelsss the gold-seeking whites In
their wagons listened with eager in
terest to the enticing talk Of Boze-
man and Jacobs, with their offers to
serve as guides.
Ga May z, 1868, Samuel Word and
eight men companions left Sc. Joseph,
Ako., to go somewhere in the western
gold country. Word had a wagon and
three yoke OF oxen. Three more wagons
were owned by other members Of the
group. The total domestic animals
among the entire party were IL yoke
az oxen, three ponies and two dogs. No
women we're with them. Word had left
his young wife and their baby son at
t1e home place In Missouri.
The course OF this 1853 st. Joseph
party during the earlier part Of their
movements was the usual one then
followed. They passed through Mays
vile, Kan, crossed the Big Blue and
Little Blue rivers, and kept on the trail
20 Fort Kearney, Neb., on the Platte riv-
eE. Wild game was plentiful, especially
the buffalo. When they killed their
firut che Of these huge animals they

they had heard as TO the special tooth |
gomeness Of the meat IN the hump
above the shoulders. In sxinning the
carcass to get first at this choice meat
they learned something that every nov
ics in Notwithstanding had TO learn.
This lesson was as TO the difficulty of 1
turning over the carcass from one side |
30 smother In order to skin both sides.
Amateur efforts at such turning over
always accomplished simply q spinning
OF the mass on the hump as pivot and
the falling back upon the same side.
Words diary writing concerning their
attempt to get the hump meat says:

get the other half, for the reason that

They met some Indian bands along
the lower Platte river. No trouble en-
sued, as no Indians Just then werg
molesting whites along that main trail
At Fort Kearney they fell in with
some other wagon groups, these hav-
ing come from Independence and
Omaha. AS progress was made there
were yet other amalgamations OF these
groups. BY the time Fort Laramie was
reached there were 80 wagons in this
train. AS these proceeded on westward,
up the North Platte, there we're yet
other wagon annexations. Mercantile
prices at Fort Laramie, are mentioned
in Mr. Words diary. Under date OF
June %, at that military and trade
center, the diary record tells US:
paid very high prices for everything
we got at Fort Laramie. Paid SO a wheel
for setting tires; "a for shoeing horses
all around SutIer sells everything high
10 to 20 cents for bacon, SO to $l8 per
hundred for flour, smoking tobacco 81
q pound, whisky 81 pint"
Moving along on the north side of
the North Platte river, the train crossed
Box Elder creek and Deer creek. At
Deer creek there were some soldiers
stationed as an outpost Of the Fort La
ramie military center At this outpost
was a blacksmith shop and q ranch
house having groceries and goods

diers had telegraph station.
Here the emigrants learned from
Bozeman and Jacobs Of their new route
Of travel They remained encamped
several days while they discussed the
inviting situation. and made plans for
entering upon the diverging shorter
route. During that waiting time, July
4. piece Of stirring news came to
them. The Word diary tells:
Telegraph operator visited us, In
formed us Of q fight that had occurred
near Gettysburg, Pa Rebels repulsed
and retreating. The first war news we've
heard for some time"
Three days afterwards, on July 2,
the diary records some further tele-
graphic news:
