Billings Man Tries
to Commit Suicide

w. J. HugeIand, an employee Of q
Billings dairy, attempted to hang him
self in the city jail few days ago.
Arrested at 3:25 a. m. and booked
on a drunkenness charge, Hugeiand
was placed In q cell At 4.05 O'Clock,
w. w. Mckenzie, patrolman on duty
at the station, heard another prisoner
yelling. Going down into the basement
Jail, ne found Highlands body dang
ling from a moose fashioned from his
belt
Mckenzie at once cut the man down.
Hugeland, the officer reported, had
thrown the belt over a bar at the top
Of the cell cage and had stepped off q
cross bar.
After being cut down, Hugeland
threatened to Jump from cell cage.
The city jail is without padded cells, so
the prisoner was transferred to the
county Jail where he was confined In
padded cell without any clothing
that would lend itself to another SUD
eide attempt.

FIND DEER SKULL
AND ARROW HEAD

The skull of q fair-sized buck with
well-weathered horns attached with
the added oddity Of q flint arrow head
imbedded IN the skull just back Of the
ear on the right side, has been added
to the collection of museum pieces
at the Miles City Commercial club.

side cattle man, on Powder river in
Powder River county The arrow head
is Of moss agate and had been broken
off about half way. The ends Of the
horns had been buried in the soil for
many years and we're r0tted away, bgzk
enough remains to show the animal was
a many pointed buck and that the In
dian that shot 1t had been an accurate
shot. Whether he had slain the deer
and thrown the head away or whekh-
er the animal ran away and later died
either from the effects OF the wound on
from other causes is q matter OF con-
lecture.

next winter. We decided to trail l5O

We rounded up and cut out the most
salable part of the herd, and July IA
we started on our long drive. Father
was driving the chuck wagon. he was
getting old and very feeble, and was
barely able to drive the team. William
Billman helped three days, to get the
horses started on the trail. They were
wild and hard to handle the first three
days out, and after Billman turned
back I found it hard to manage the
herd alone. Just above Billings q train
stampeded the herd and the entire
bunch went through wire fence. One
horse was killed and others we're badly
cut by the barbed wire. At Billings
hired a rider to help us for one month.
We took in the Yankee Robinson cir
Gus on one Of the hottest July days
ever experienced. remember the trains
coming into Billings that day loaded
with Crow Indians. They were all
painted up like white women paint
and most of the young bucks
took circus seats low down to be close
to the scenery. The hot sun beating
down on the canvas OF the big circus
tent made it like an oven inside. The
sweat started to pour off the Indians
faces, and it wasn't long until they

part Of the show, and spent much Of
their time laughing at each other.
The first day out of Billings our
horses stampeded, and it took three
DAYS hard riding TO get them rounded

Yellowstone below Billings. This coun-
try was sparsely settled and we began

This was q hard job, for we seldom
could find a corral to work in. We us

Famous Stage Ride Brought Acid
Letter to Hank Monk, Coachman,
From Horace Greeley, Passenger

Horace Greeley's ride with Hank
Monk, the famous California Nevada
stage driver, who was represented as
having taken the famous editor and
later presidential candidate at q
terr0r-inspkring speed over the al-
most impossible mountain reads
through the SierTas, IL one Of the
prize stories OF the early west and
has been widely read even down 20
the present day. But few know Of
Greeley's reaction 10 the publicity
that was given him and Menk be-
cause Of the reported hair-raising
ride. Greeley showed his reaction
when Monk, tired Of stage driving
and believing that Greeley would
probably win the eHectiOn--wrOte to
ask him for federal employment sin
case you are elected to the presi-
dency."
Greeley answered the letter In a
manner that nearly broke Monks heart
since he felt he had, because Of the
famous ride, added great distinction
and prestige to the name Of Horace
Greeley.
In his letter to Monk, Greeley said:
"Sir: Your impairment request is re-
ceived and in reply viii say that we're
possessed Of the aggregate wealth OF
the world and you we're on the verge
of starvation / would not vouchsafe to
you crust Of widowed bread to save
your worthless existence, for you are
the only creature that has ever sue
ceeded in placing me before the Amerf-
can people In ridiculous light.
When the Pioneer State Co. went out
OF existence Monk moved to Nevada
and settled in Carson. He drove stage
during the summer months between
~ he CD
of Lake Tahoe. His fame as coach
driver, greatly increased by the alleged
ride he gave Greeley, attracted tour
lists from all parts Of the world. Dur
ing his many years on the box Of 3
stage coach he never met with an ac-
cident.
Hank Monk came to Sacramento in
June, 1855. He was Immediately en-
ployed by James Birch as driver Of
the Audubon stage line, between Plac-
srville and Genoa, New. In 1853, when
the silver excitement over the discov-
cry of the Washoe mines created a
big rush, Monk took job with Louis
AAcIlane Of the Pioneer stage line. He
continued with this company until the
of the Central Pacific and
The Virginia and Truckee railways.
Fortunate mine owners in the Wash |
De district made many flying trips
across the mountains. Monk was al
ways the preferred stage driver. In 1852
! number of San Francisco investors
had an urge to make q quick trip to

We had been taking q swim every night

we were ready to cross back the ferry

jumped in and swan back with 20 or
80 spectators watching us cross. On
the opposite bank we picked up our
hats and boots, walked over to the
chuck wagon, changed TO dry overalls

ORDERS
ESCAPE PROBE
BIameS Capt. Leach for
Failure to HandCuff
Fraud Suspect.

A thorough investigation Of the
escape of a prisoner from state
policeman was started today by Al
G. Feeney. state safety director.
The prisoner, Mike Bisesi, escaped
from State Patrolman Oscar Burk-
EFT late yesterday in a downtown Of
flee building
Director Feeney blamed Capt
Matt Leach, who assured Burkett
it would not be necessary to shackle
the prisoner.
Bisesi was arrested here by city
detectives yesterday on a fugitive
warrant from Crawford County. He
is wanted at English on a fraud
charge. City authorities turned the
fugitive over to Capt. Leach to be
returned to Crawford County.
Burkett said he was given custody
of Bisesi late yesterday with orders
from Capt. Leach to take the pris-
oner to see his brother, an Indi-
annapolis commission merchant, be-
fore starting for English.
The brother was expected to make
arrangements for providing bond
Immediately. The patrolman quoted
Leach as saying that Bisesi was IAN

trouble and that handouts would
not be necessary.

escape Director Feeney said the Of

to shsckle the prisoner in direct vio-

Travellers trucking out of the
stricken cities in creeping trains,
and the feeble cracking of emer-
gency radio hookups revealed a con-
fusion of transportation and COM
munication seldom equalled in
modern metropolitan districts.
Sleet that snapped copper cables

inch-thick ice paralyzed utilities

There we're no electric lights, no
street cars, no schools. Coal COM

they could not deliver. Many per-
sons chopped up telephone poles
toppled across streets by the weight
of ice and used them for fuel.
The storm abated last night, but
wire communications companies
said it might be 48 hours more be-
fore they restored service, and four
days before they reach normally.
Damage in the sister cities and the
rest of the stricken district of Min
nesota, Wisconsin and Michigan was
estimated at close to S1,000,000. The
storm extended across Wisconsin
into the iron country of Michigan
and south to Rhinelander and Carl

bad, but absence of large cities made
them less spectacular. Only one
