r. II. Omits Message
Signs widely interpreted as indi-
eating a sharp break between the
president and the organization OF
business men were seen by Wash
tngton observers as the convention
went into It's final day.
President Roosevelt, reported to
be angry w sharp assaults which
convention speakers have launched
against New Deal measures and
plans, omitted to send a message TO
the chambers annual dinner We'd
nesday night. For years, the cham
Der has been accustomed to hear a
speech or a message from the chief
executive.
There was no official pronounce
ment from the White House or the
chamber as TO this omission. Au-
thoritative sources said the us
tomary invitation TO appear OF send
greetings had been extended to the
president.
There was a tendency to regard
the present situation as one Of the
most significant Developments In
government business relations since
the American Bankers Association
convention last year. The result
of the bankers convention was an
apparent rapproachement widely
heralded at the time as a peace
pact."

dianS) did not want to come in con-
tact with the Custer County Rangers
from Miles City," The dangers and

a sense of peace rested over the Lame
Deer and Ashland regions.
AS an aftermath, with nothing in
sight and still under the spell of the
excitement of the formation of the
Custer County Rangers, some of those
enrolled expressed a desire to proceed
to the Mexican border and resort to
guerilla warfare If trouble should en-
u south Of the Rio Grande.

COLLECTION OF FAMOUS PAINT
INGS is VALUED AT S37, 900;

A collection of famous Russell
paintings, valued by appraisers of in
urance companies at S37, 900, is to
be III in the near future by the
owner, Mrs. w. M. Barwarth of NAL
ia, it has been announced. Mrs. Bar
warth, owner Of the leading hotel in
Malta, was a Helena visitor recently
at the home of her mother, Mrs,
Patrick DAILY. Although Mrs. Bar
Warth is reluctant to part with the
paintings, she has decided not to con-
tln9e h management of the hotel
and must sell the collection as she
will have no place to keep them.
Among the paintings are four by
Russell which will be remembered by
almost everyone who ever visited the
California Wine House, when that
place of business was operating In
Helena. They are 1.-THE Buffalo

power Of crushing military defeat which
would instil a thorough regard in the
heart OF our savages for the demands
Of civilization. The west is thoroughly
disguised with the methods of the fed
eral government in Indian wars, and
If in the spring the Indian is again on
the warpath, Dakota and Nebraska
both have a militia organization which
can be augmented by the formation Of
special companies of rangers who will
take the field, and while the red tape
is being strung out for orders to regu-
lars, the militia, acting under the
commander in chief in the field, will
present to the world a solution that
will be a 'pons asinorum' to our long
haired Indian society people in the
east, and a long suspension bridge to
the happy hunting grounds for In
dams who are given to this Joking bust
ness of taking the 'warpath'."
With the background of the troubles
Of the immediate past with the Indians,
it vas only natural, according to the
account of the time in Miles City in
the early part of 1898, that the people
should feel some concern. The soldiers
had gone from Fort Keogh. Reports
from the Lame Deer and Ashland re-
gions were not altogether r~eassuring. 1t
was time, and the decision was reached
to take some action.
Nearly a hundred men became inter-
ested. They were composed of old
time cowpunchers, sheriff, ex-sheriffs,
buffalo hunters, honorably discharged
Indian fighters of the campaigns in the
southwest and northwest; in fact, all
men of the west who were expert horse
men, hard riders and all good shots.
The last, in part, included:
John S. Truscott. captain; J. B. (Jack)
Hawkins, first lieutenant; William D.
(Billy) Smith, second lieutenant; Geo.
W. Farr, first sergeant; George Sheetz,
Walter Martin, Charles lie Noir, Clark
Tozier, Charles Sexton, c. F. Hedges,
E. B. Babcock, Billy Mcconnell and sew
eral others.
A communication, directed to the
agent at Lame Deer, informed that Of
fetal what had been done in Miles
City. Some of the names of the men
enrolled were mentioned. The agent was
further informed that, having learned
Of the apprehensions felt in the south
country out of Miles City, and in view
Of the fact Of the departure Of the
military units from Fort Keogh, these
men got together in Miles City and
organized what was known as The
Custer County Rangers"
The members Of the organization
were pledged to take no prisoners: that

der the command of Captain Brown, no
soldiers were left at Fort Keogh. The
military protection that had been af-
forded by the presence Of troops at the
fort since the establishment of the post
in 1876 was nc longer present.
During the early nineties there was
considerable unrest manifest among
the Sioux tribes on the Standing Rock
agency. Sitting Bull, who had become
imbued with the influence of the So
called Messiah craze, and lost his life
in the attempt to arrest him, was imi-
tated by Porcupine on the Cheyenne
Indian agency in southeastern Mon
tana. Later Porcupine wa brought
under subjugation and the craze even
tually died out, yet there was unrest.
Whether the Cheyenne Indians at
Lame Deer and Ashland were still, in
the late nineties, affected by the lin
gcring influences, it is recorded hat at
the time of the departure of the troops
from Fort Keogh to take part in the
war with Spain, they became rather
unruly. It was felt that dangers and
perils confronted the settlers in the
vicinity of the domiciles of the Chey-
enne. The Indians were not making
simple requests, it is recorded, but de-
handing in their attitude.
That dissatisfaction existed is indi-
Gated by the comment made in the
spring of 1891. The troubles of the In
dams of the northwest had been drawn
to the attention of the Indian bureau
at Washington. American Horse, one
of the leading Sioux chiefs, returning
from the national capital is quoted as
saying:
Il signed the Sioux reservation ced-
ing treaty, but when I saw how the
mouths of my people were closed in
Washington I told Little Chief Noble
that I could no longer be a leader of
my people, but would mingle with them
as a warrior in the ranks rather than
lift my voice again on behalf of the
white man."
Trouble was expected later in the
spring of 1891. Louis Prineau, one of
the interpreters at the Standing Rock
agency, said that in view of the visit
of American Horse to Washington, and

Ranger Completes
Survey of Timber

During the past month, Forest Rang
er Arthur Cramer, in charge of the
Yellowstone district of the Absaroka
National forest, and his assistants have
completed the cruising of over 10000
600 board feet of timber in the Mill
creek region. E. R.. Augustine and R. c,
DEwart assisted him in the work.
The timber comprises a stand which
it is proposed to offer for sale in the
ear future.
In addition to this work of cruising
the timber, Mr.. Cramer has spent two
weeks in winter game studies in this
area, resulting in figures which will
show a material increase in the game
population. Moose, coming in from
the Hell Roarin" country, are very
much in evidence, the ranger reports.

the excitement Of the preceding fall,
some trouble would arise.
Comment on the situation at that
time grew acrimonious. During the
outbreak in the early nineties, the live
stock men lost many head of cattle.
Over in western Dakota some OF the
leading stockmen suffered severe losses.
Mood and Delaney lost 40 head. John
Whipple was out Ill steers and 81 head
of brood mares. H. A. Scofield lost 137
steers. Scotty Phillips and other ranch
men rode for days with their cowboys
to discover, if possible, any remaining
stock. It was estimated at the time that
more than 500 head of cattle were
killed by the hostiles. Considerable ami
mostly vas expressed toward the east
erners, the "meddlers," in a situation
of which they had but little knowledge,
but a surplus of misplaced sympathy"
Nov if these red devils do break
out again in the spring, which now
looks altogether probable" wrote H.
G.. Potter, enc of the editors Of the
Stock Growers Journal of Miles City,
on Feb. %, 1891, lit is to be hoped that
some influence can be brought to
bear upon the authorities at Washing
ton which will force them to keep their
drawing mouths from articulating the
sentimentalism which directed the Of
ficers in the field, during the last cam
paign, not to shoot.
IF General Miles in the field is left
unhampered by directions from Wash
ington, the Indian bureau will be quick
and decisive. The Indians will either
fight or quit. There will be NJ such
disgusting scene as the army of the
grandest nation on earth standing at
bay, looking at a handful of illy-clad
and illy-equipped savages, who can pick
off, from ambush, the very pink of
American officers without fear Of a
shot being fired into the hostile camp.
It is no wonder that the Indians have
so little respect for the power of the
United States government; their les
sons in discipline have not been such as
would foster a respect. The meddle-

in mansions and drawing heavy per-

Considerable fear was exercised in
the spring of 1898 in Miles City as
the ED infantry departed from Fort
KeOgh. The Cheyenne Indians at
Lame Deer and Ashland, in the south
country were reported as having be-
come unruly. To forestall any possible
danger from that source, since the
troops were enroute to the front to
take part in the war with Spain, the
Custer rangers were organized, with
headquarters in Miles City.
Troops of the 22d infantry under the
command of Colonel Bates, departed
from Fort Keogh on April 81, 1898. The
command consisted of $50 men, accom-
panied by the regimental band and a
non-commissioned staff. It was an i'm
pressive departure. Nine railway pas
