Connected events In the early his
tory Of our state, recited by George
A. Ottawa OF Libby, tell Of q stam-
pede-a wild rush Of people without
preparation--Out Of Fort Benton In
quest Of placer gold, to the Little
Rockies in the fall Of 1884.
TITS whispering that starts a STAN
pede," said Mr.. Ottawa. Let anyone
noise abroad about gold being discov-
cred off somewhere and it starts no
body; but let it be whispered-well, lis
ten TO my story:
yield of $SO.0O0.000 in placer gold with
in a period of eight years, convinced
thousands Of prospectors that placer
ground equally as rich in gold must
exist elsewhere in the territory.
So one day at Fort Benton in the
fall of 1884, where I was living tenn
porarily old Dennis Halpin let me know
his secret by whispering that Bob Or
man had whispered to him that Sam
Cook had whispered to Bob that there
had been a new discovery Of gold in the
Little Rockies $50 miles away and that
the government was preparing to send
soldiers to keep people out because OF
its being on the eros Ventres reserva-
ton. The Gros VentreS, the Assinni-
BONES and the Sioux we're all on that
reservation.
Bob Orman, Sam Cook and myself
Immediately bought four broncs, har-
ness and wagon and loaded the wagon
with supplies. We blindfolded the
broncs, harnessed and hitched them
to the wagon, four men holding to the
green, blindfolded broncs until mount
ed the high seat and took the lines.
Their binders pulled off, and left free
to 60, they started running and buck
ing I'D the hill towards government
coulee, over which we passed, and on
down to Bill Embertson's ranch, and
stin on down to the mouth Of the
Marias to Nose Solomon's stopping
place.
We intended to stay there overnight,
but many teams and wagons were
ahead OF us, halted just long enough
for the horses to feed out Of nose bags,
and for the men to snatch a brief
lunch. We did not care to lose any
more time that day, for the fever was
running high in us all, and we moved
on to 26-A1ile springs before stopping
again. People were passing us with
light wagons, buggies, wheelbarrows.
Many were afoot with only what was
in their pack sack to support them.
At 28-Mile springs we decided to-
leave the caravan and pass south OF
the Bears Paw mountains by Antelope
springs, hitting Cow creek at the base
Of those mountains. 1t was trackless

We then had an abundance Of to-

ton says that Irishmen showed firm adherence to the cause of American liberty" In the face says, 1t matters very little what his vapid vaporings against the ton.
 George Washington had a fondness for Irishmen. This he showed by the large number of Irishmen whom he placed in his own military household. Wash ington made Morgan and Hand leaders of his rifles, Knox the head of his artillery and Moylan the commander of his cavalry. Through Washington's influence Richard Montgomery of Colum- bia County, New York, was ap- pointed to the chief command of the Northern Army; John Dun- lap was made Washington's own personal guard; Edward Hand was named as his Adjutant Gen. eral; Andrew Lewis was ap- pointed as Brigadier General; Stephen Moylan and John Fitz- : gerald were made his own per- sonal aides; Ehpraim Blaine was named as his Quartermaster and John Barry was placed at the head of the United States Navy and these men were Irishmen, John Sharp Williams - all Irishmen.
 Nor does the story end here. Washington made William Irvine a General, and Richard Butler a General, and Daniel Morgan a General and Walter Stewart a General, and William Thompson a General,-andt these men were all Irishmen,.-John Sharp Will liams,-all Irishmen. Nor is even this the end of the tale. Wash ington made Anthony Wayne a General. and Wayne's father came from Ireland; Washington made John Stark General, and John Stark's mother came from Ireland.
 Does any sane person for a moment suppose that Washing ton would have had so many ,Irishmen around him, would have trusted so many Irishmen in so many vital positions and so many important commands. if the Irish had not played a splen- did part in the Revolutionary war? Answer this,-John Sharp Williams,--answer 1t if you can!
 When Washington went to Boston to take command of the colonial army, he took along with him as secretary a young Irishman by the name of Joseph Reed. In his Life of the Father of His Country" Washington Irv- ing pays handsome tribute to the services and the personality of Joseph Reed.
 The British offered Reed $5O.- 900 and the best office in the colonies if he would desert the Reed replied: 1T am not worth the King of Great Britain Is not was an Irishmen.--John Sharp Williams,-Reed was an Irish man.
 Let us take a glance at the part played by the Irish at Lex ington. at Concord, and the Heights of Bunker Hill--all fought before Washington as- sumed command at Cambridge.
 From a cursory glance you can pick out Irishman after Irish-. man from the roster of the Min- ute Men of Lexington alone. Cap- atin Parker, who commanded at Lexington and died at Lexington

Up to this time Europe did not think America had a chance. But the Crossing of the Dela- ware" and Trenton, and Prince ton changed all this.
 They brought across the seas to WashinEton's European gen. erals and European soldiers who were willing to fight to win democracy q foot-stool on this
 earth, once they were con- vinced that democracy had a ghost of a chance to win.
 The record stands that the men who led the American forces in crossing the Delaware. the men who led at Trenton and at Princeton, imparted an in- valuable impulse and made an inestimable contribution to the cause of American freedom.
 And among the men who led the American forces in those epoch-making conflicts tn err e were Irishmen, John Sharp Will Hams. there were Irishmen, and propose to tell you who they were and what they did.
 When Washington crossed the Delaware he divided his division into two attachments, of one he retained command himself. of the other he gave command to General Sullivan, and in the glory of that wonderful Christ mas victory over the Hessians at Trenton, the name of John Sul- livan stands next to that of the immortal George Washington.
 :. And yet, John Sharp Williams, pooh-poohs the Irish in the American Revolution.
 Then came Wayne's magnifi- cent stand at Green Spring and Washington wrote him a letter of thanks just as he wrote a let ter of thanks to Captain Jack Barry for the first sea victory undre the Stars and Stripes. Wayne. however. refused to ap- propriate unto himself, all the credit. He shared 1t with Colonel Pierce Butler. and Colonel Wal and Colonel stephen Moylan---all Irtshmen, John Sharp Williams.
 And Tim" Murphy who won immortal fame at Saratoga: Tim" Murphy, who was Nor gan's right-hand man, "Tim" Murphy who climbed up a tree and picked orr General Fraser. whose death demoralized the British forces at Saratoga - Tim Murphy was an Irishman.-
 When Cornwallis surrendered, when 28 British regiments hand ed over their colors. these colors were received by young Irlsh- man named Robert Wilson. When Washington selected man to carry the news of Cornwallis' surrender to the Continental Congress at Philadelphia, he picked an Irishman by the name of Lieutenant Colonel Tilghman. When Tilghman delivered that message in Philadelphia, he de. livered 1t to an Irishman, Thom- as McKean, president of the Continental Congress. When that message was read to Congress. 1t was read by an Irishman, Charles Thomson, long its venerated se- cretary. And yet John Sharp Williams pooh- poohs the Irish in the American Revolution.
 If the Irish did not play Q grand, a noble. resplendent and heroic part In the American Re- voluticn. we ask you, Joitn Sharp Williams, how comes 1t that Washington heaped such honors upon Irishmen, how comes it that Washington had so many Irishmen around him, how comes 1t that Washington placed Irish men in responsible places in every battle which he con.4 ands ed?

 Only recently has General John- son become ancestor-conscious Guest of honor at an Irish ban- quet year ago, he spoke feeling ly of the land of his forebears and concluded with some verses about Killarney, in the Catholic south. Historians chuckled, know ing that the Johnsons came from the Protestant north.

John Sharp Williams, United States Senator from Mississippi. Is ono of the greatest debaters in the country and usually "a very level-headed man, but John Sharp certainly flew off the tan gent" the other day, and talked like a fanatical rhapsodist instead of the seasoned and well-bai. anced debater he usually is. when in a speech in the Senate he Revolutionary War. .,
 In running these articles in re- ply to John Sharp Williams att tack on the Irish in the Revolu. tion, we do not claim the Irish did 1t all in the Revolution, but we do assert that the Irish did their share, and we defy John sharp Williams to prove they didn't.
 And there was g time when John Sharp Williams himself spoke in almost as glowing terms of the Irish. On March 1T, 1914, John Sharp Williams was a speaker at the annual banquet of the Hibernian Society of Balti- more, Marylnad; - And the Baltimore Sun reports Senator Williams speaking as fpllows:
 "The Irish are a great people. They have gone on their way in the world with a sense of personal honor and an idea of living up to their code. They live for ideals, not for pros.' perity. They are willing to sacri- flee something in order to con- summate these ideals. They are people true to themselves, and, being true to themselves, are true to what is best, and are uplift- ing, glorious and helpful"
 No braggart Irishman said this and Johp Sharp Williams him- self said this and only five years ago.
 George Washington himself thought pretty well of the Irish in the Revolution. This he showed by his attitude towards the Irish, by his treatment of the Irish, and by the important places he gave to Irishmen in every battle where he command- ed. H t@
 Tn the Colonial Congress. June. 1775, an Irishman, Thomas Johnson of Maryland, nominated George Washington for Conn mander-in-C Chief of the American Army. When the war was on Johnson fought under Washing ton, so did his six sons. Wash- ington, when president, offered to make Johnson Chief Judge of the Supreme Court of the United States; but John declined the place; then Washington offered to put him in his cabinet and make him Secretary of State, but Johnson refused the honor. Ed- ward Rutledge, an Irishman, was one of the committee of three which drew up Washington's commission as commander-in- chief; and John Hancock, a man with Irish blood in his veins, as President of Congress, officially notified Washington of his eleva- tion to the supreme command Of the American Army.
 After the Revolutionary war was over. George Washington be- came an honorary member of the Friendly Sons of saint Pat rick. In accepting membership in this society Washington wrote;
 T accept with pleasure the Ensign of so worthy a fraternity as that of the Sons of Saint Pat- rick--a society distinguished for the firm adherence of its mem. bers to the glorious cause in which we embark"
 In this letter George Washing
