Will OF all who knew him.
For many years the stock industry
thrived in that part of the country.
But in the course of time, as in other
parts Of the country, the stock bus
mess was overdone, and stock herds
were crowded farther east, keeping on
the heels of the swiftly vanishing buf-
falo. Although at this time Sitting
Bull was looking for scalps, the set
tiers kept crowding down the Big Mud
dy into dangerous territory, cleaning
up the last of the once big herds of buf-
falo and replacing them with great
herds of cattle. In this way the ranges
were first utilized, then o~verstocked by
newcomers hearing of the great pos
sibilities in the stock business.
Along in the early '80s we had some
very hard winters, and cattle losses
were heavy. But Grant by this time

Butte Bandit Robs
Two Stores of $500

Holding clerks at the point of a gun,
a youthful, unmas4sed bandit recently
robbed two stores in Butte, escaping
with loot amounting to more than $500.
The robberies, which occurred within a
few minutes of each other, are believed
to have been the work of the same man.
The Centerville drug store was the
first victim. The clerk, Albert Doull,
was forced to give the thief $3.50, and
was warned he would be shot if he re-
ported the theft. A few minutes later
a MacMarr store was similarly rob-
bed. Harold Heinicke, the only clerk
present was forced to hand over more
than $500 from the stores tills. Mrs.
Heanicke, who had just entered the
place. was forced to witness the rob-
berry.

Grants were located on the old Emil
grant trail, where they had plenty Of
opportunity to buy up sore-footed and
played-out horses and cattle. Awaiting
themselves of this great opportunity
they soon had a nice start in both cat
tie and horses. The stock, coming as it
did from the eastern states, was of
good quality. The Grants were soon
known as the cattle kings of Deer
Lodge valley.
Captain Grant, like many pioneers,
was married to an Indian woman. She
was a good, intelligent woman, and a
fine cook for. that day and age. Two
boys were born to them, John and
James. The boys were sent to St. Louis
each fall, taking passage on the last
steamboat leaving Fort Benton. They
were we'll educated in the st. Louis
schools; and they returned each spring
On the first steamer arriving at Fort
Benton. It was during their visits in
Fort Benton that I became acquainted
with the Grant family.
Along in the early 7Os, Captain
Grant, OR Dad, as his friends always
called him, died, leaving his sons, now
young men. to manage their vast stock
ranch. The boys were half Indians,
but n would hardly know it from
their looks or actions. For many years
the Grant ranch was a welcoming
home for all travellers passing that way,
and no charge for their generous hos
pitality was ever thought of. Not long
after Captain Grants death, his faith
full wife followed him across the Great
Divide. The boys then married half
blood Indian women, and from these
unions nice families sprang up.
The two brothers ran the home
ranch together for several years until
their cattle numbered about 10000 head
and their horses $500 head. This was
a lot of stock on one range. Besides
the Grants there we're others in the
Deer Lodge valley with smaller herds.
AS the valley settled up and people
brought in more stock, it was apparent

of his neighbors were less fortunate.
Without hay, and with short range,
their losses were heavy.
Grant had two daughters, fine young
ladies, who spent most of their time
with their father riding the range and
going over the ranch. They were the
joy of Grants home. Although the
girls always carried fat pocketbooks
they were careful how they spent their
money. Their father saw to it that
his girls always had. the finest horses
and saddles the country afforded, and
up to 1884 the Grant family seemed
ideally happy.
About this time serious trouble came
to the Grant home. Mrs. Grant took
a great fancy to a Piegan Indian who
wanted to marry the eldest daughter.
The girl resented any. such match, and
took the matter up with her father.
This started trouble in the family.
Grant ordered the Indian off his place.
Mrs. Grant seemed to conclude that if
she couldn't marry her daughter to the
Piegan she would have him herself, and
from that time sought opportunity to
elope with him. Time developed the
plot. Although Grant would not allow
the Piegan or his place, the plotting
was carried on through his tribesmen
just the same, and one day when Grant
was away riding the range his wife ran
away with her Indian lover.
When Grant came home, o after,
he was told by his daughters what they
thought had taken place. Grant was
devoted to his untrue wife and started
in pursuit, saying he would bring his
wife back and leave the Indian where
he found him. Close neighbors were
notified by the girls what had happen
ed, and soon there were six friends of
the Grant family also on the trail of
the runaways.
The two lovers headed for the agency,
closely pursued by Grant, with his
neighbors close behind him. It grew
dusk. Half way to the agency the six
neighbors heard several shots. They
rushed ahead as fast as they could, and
in a little ravine a short distance far
ther found the body of Grant where the
Indian had waylaid him.
The men soon overlook the fugitives.
The Piegan had the woman behind him
on his horse, and the overloaded pony
vas easy to overtake. The men stop
ped the two, took the Indians VIM
chester rifle from him, and turned
them back to the Grant ranch. MR..
Grant pleaded all the way for the In
dams life. When the party reached
the spot where Grants body lay, they
asked Mrs. Grant why she didn't save
Jimmie's life if she was so tender
hearted. She made no answer.
On their return to the ranch the In
dian was put in a cabin and a guard of
four men stationed. The woman was
returned to her family and advised to
go straight or she would suffer a severe
penalty. Men were sent for Grants
body, and it was brought home shortly
before daybreak. The affair was a ter
rlble shock to the community. A motion
was then made that the slayer of Jim
mic Grant should never see the sun
again. Just before the rays of the
sun shone over the horizon, the In
dian passed to his happy hunting
ground.
That afternoon Grants body was
carried to its final resting place. Thus
closed the chapter for a man who was
! respected by all who knew him for his
sterling qualities. The ranch eventual
ly passed to the two girls.

Defense Will Attempt

Fisch to the Lindbergh kidnapping

it was learned today from a
source close to the defense.
The "frameup" charges center
on the famous rail 16" of the

attic floor Of Hauptmann's Bronx

The defense supposedly is ready
to prove that this piece of the
ladder was built in by police to
provide the final clinching touch
in the States case against the
German carpenter. According to
information in the hands of
Hauptmmn'S lawyers, this alleged
framing of evidence drew the Sc

Even more important than the
alleged "frameup" disclosures, how
ever, is new evidence calculated
