Here we expected TO find the outlaws
and did The four Of US left Fort Ben
ton about midnight and made our plans
to reach the Indian camp at daybreak
We got there IN due time, and found
the camp at the upper end of the river
bottom, skirted by timber. We rode
into the timber back Of the camp Here
we tied our horses, and listened TO our
instructions from the sheriff. The or
ders were to shoot any Indian who tried
to get away. He added, dead Indians
are much easier to get along with than
live Indians"
We found the camp very quiet, ex-
cept for the barking Of the wolf dogs.
It is their custom to bark near day
break, and the racket did not seem to
disturb the camp. All the lodges but
one were small and old. This one was
fine and large, and had buffalo, deer
and horses painted on It. We knew this
was the lodge the young bucks occupied,
and we approached it cautiously. The
sheriff motioned for me to raise the
flap or door Of the lodge, while the
other three with Winchesters ready for
business awaited the outcome.
reached over with the muzzle Of my
gun and turned the flap back. BY
careful scrutiny we could make out
three occupants Of the lodge, and two
OF them were the men we wanted. They
had apparently been up late that night
for there was still a smoldering fire In |
the middle Of the lodge, and its oc-
cupantS were sound asleep.
The sheriff and ventured in, while
the other two stood watching at the
door. first removed the gun from /
Antelope Shirts side and handed it to

awake, and found themselves

Winchesters Antelope-Sh was the
first 10 spring to his feet. He tried to

The sheriff stuck his rifle in the IN
dams face, and up went his hands. We
handcuffed the two we wanted, and
made them walk ahead Of us to Fort
Benton. The Indians were given legal
trial before Justice Of the Peace Jacob
A. Kanouse.

II. s. STILL BUYING
MONTANA STOCK
PROCESSING PLANTS HAVE BEEN
WORKING TO CAPACITY; PRO-
GRAM EXPLAINED
lnT0NTANA sTATE COLEEaR


Il win be about August - before
the federal governments cattle buy
ing activities win take care Of the
bulk OF distressed stock ia eastern
Montana, says J. @. Taylor, director,
Montana Extension service. AS quick
~ as possible buying win then be
started in other emergency drouth
areas.
The big reason why the cattle buy
ing program has not been extended
more rapidly is because processing
plants have been worked to capacity.
Appraisal Of cattle was going forward
at the rate Of about $500 head daily
in southeastern Montana the middle Of
August and more than 140 900 head had
been appraised.
The federal program is essentially
relief program, Taylor points out. For
this reason and limitations caused by
lack Of processing facilities, 1t has been
necessary TO concentrate the buying In
the very worst areas where shortage
Of both water and feed made action
imperative.
Under these conditions Taylor urges
that counties consider every angle Of
the situation before requesting to be
named an emergency drouth area. Buy
ing cannot start Immediately in new
areas unless conditions are distressing.
Once the program is started it means
that the county electing it Will have
its cattle numbers materially reduced.
This may not be desired.
When a county Is designated an
emergency drouth area the federal gov
eminent win buy cattle, win loan money
for feed and seed. develop water for
stock and allow reduced freight rates
for feed and moving stock In second
airy counties the government does not
buy cattle nor loan money for the pilr-
chase Of feed. It does provide for re-
duced freight rates, loans money for
seed and viii develop water, Taylor ex-
plains.
