alliance with the Crows.
One of such incursions into the buf-
falo country is recorded as having &C.
Cured long ago. before the Flatheads
had guns, or had but few of them.
While the FlatheadS were encamped on
the Musselshell river they were at
tackled by a band OF Blackfeet war
riors. Skirmish fighting lasted through
two days. Although the Blackfeet had
a good supply Of guns. they finally eX-
hausted their ammunition supply. Then
n Flatheads took a turn at aggressive
fighting. Their numerical strength
transferred to them the advantage
heretofore enjoyed by the Blackfeet in
their possession of guns. They got the
Blackfeet on the run and kept them
on the run out Of the country, killing
many of them in the course of the
pursuit.
The most distant points eastward at
tanned by the Flatheads were or a few
occasions when they encountered the
Cheyennes. Horses were stolen from
each other, and a few of each tribe
were killed. The most eve of such
conflicts with the Cheyennes is said
to have been not far northeast from
the mouth of the Little Big Horn. The
general condition of the case indicates
that the time of that battle was about
1854 or 1865.
The Hardin tribune-herald. [volume] (Hardin, Mont.) 1925-1973, 1935-03-08

with se-stealing Blackfeet about the
year 1910. The Pend d'Oreilles were on
their way from the westward to the
main Flathead camp in the Bitter Root
valley. They camped overnight at Fin
lay creek. Next morning, near the pres
ent Evaro, they encountered a band of
Piegan Blackfeet, of superior numbers,
coming over a hill. The Pend d'Oreilles
fell back into the Jocko valley, where
they were surrounded by the Piegans.
There were but five guns among the
Pend d'Oreilles, while the Piegans had
guns in plenty. Some couriers got out
from the encircled Pend d'Oreilles and
fastened back to inform another band
of their people who we're coming some
miles in the rear.
The warriors from the second band
hurried forward. When they came into
view the Piegans withdrew from the
scene. They were pursued, but the pur-
suit vas a failure. Two Pend d'Oreilles
and one Piegan were killed during the
battle.
In those days there was a trading
post where Thompson Falls now is 10
Gated. It was a fur-trader post of the
dS4oo Lay SSAAAPaAAy VI "a u ouSSSooSA
Of that British Canadian concern. An
gus Macdonald, Scotch-Canadian, was
the factor in charge. He was n OF
the many pioneer traders and trappers
who took an Indian wife, and there are
now many of his descendants among
the mixed breeds of the Flathead tribe.
Another fight in the Flathead coun-
try occurred during that era. In this
case also the Pend d'Oreilles happened
to be the local Indians met by raiding
Piegan Blackfeet. The Pend d'Oreilles
involved consisted merely of a band of
Indian men hired by Macdonald to
care for a herd of pack horses carrying
goods from the Thompson Falls post
for trade with the Flatheads on the
Bitter Root. Two Kanakas, regular
employees of the Macdonald trading
post, were in charge of the expedition.
The encounter with the Blackfeet was
in the same vicinity of the present
Evaro, where was the other battle be-
tween Blackfeet and Pend d'Oreilles.
Both of the Kanakas were killed. But
all of the Pend d'Oreilles drivers of the
pack horses escaped. Furthermore, they
got all there horses and trading goods
away in safety. This happy result was
brought about by a reinforcement of
Pend d'Oreilles who happened to be en-
camped near the conflict. Three of the
Blackfeet were killed by the reinforce
ments, while the pursuers lost none.
The remainder of the invading band
escaped over the mountains and kept
going toward the Blackfeet country.
Their foray doubtless had been mainly
for horses. and they failed to get any
of the trader goods, which they also
doubtless would have been glad to get.
However, they did take the scalps of
the two KanakaS.
This raid on his employees with the
killing of two of his trusted men,
stirred Macdonald into Offering a re-
ward of 5000 for the scalp of the lead
er of that Blackfeet war party. The
leaders Indian name was Sata. There
appears no clear evidence that the Of
