short of forks. I will try and quote the

White men, but no whisky for the red
men. Indians are all crazy for whisky.
One OF these young bucks insisted on
having some of the whisky so some of
the men played a trick on him-Snow-
ing thai these Indians had never tasted
beer. One of the men pointed to the
beer key and asked the buck if he
wanted some, the redSkin said he did.
The man poured out a lineup full of
beer and handed it to him; another one
of the men sprang to his feet and pre-
tended he was going to stop the buck
from having it; the redskin ia his
eagerness to drink it at gulp, got
the strong foam up his nose and nearly
strangled to death. He threw the cup
told the other Indians he was poisoned.
He was finally induced to sit down
and finish his dinner, but was very
sulky over the joke.
It was a sight to see all those men
feeding themselves in any way they
could get to it; part of the redskins ate
with their hunting knives only. This
was a real frontier scene and a dinner
that anyone present would never forget
After dinner we had several horse
races with the Indians and o a few
hobs.

Benton. BY this time in the fall it was
quiet around the post; the steamboats,
that had been plying the old Missouri
during the high water season had tied
up. for the season, on account OF .nsuf-
ficient water.
One day we drove down TO the
mouth Of the Marias river, to get
some buffalo meat, and to my surprise,
before We left father bought the trad
ing post and all the ponies Nicholson
had. It was arranged that W were to
have possession of the post in 80 days.
We returned to Fort Benton, father
got out logs and built q house at Fort
Benton while he was waiting on the
Tingley Brothers to punch cows, and
ride the range. Here is where I learned
to sit the wild mustang and here is
where I got my leather on some that
I didn't sit. I worked for the Ttngleys
for two months and then joinedA4eher
at the trading post for the winter: When

Majors bull outfit with six nine-yoke
bull teams camped in one of our cab

see that the cattle were on good range
and got water when there was nc snow
on the ground. AS I have stated, there
was plenty of good range those days
and freighters looked more for a shell
tered range for their stock than any
thing else. Besides the bull-whackerS
we had Is or 20 men helping us in the
post all winter. Their part of the work
was to kill buffalo for wolf bait, poison
the meat and keep the dead wolves
men in the post all winter. About all
the amusement the men had those
days was gambling. After supper they
would start to playing poker, some
would be playing cards on the tables;
ing in the hunks on the wall.
As Christmas drew near father asked
all the men to furnish something to
help make Christmas a merry one. Long
before Christmas the men tried to outdo

old U. s. "A. again, but it was a wild
west at that early date; the Indians
those days were prosperous, rich with
ponies and buffalo robes, while beaver
and small furs were plentiful in all
the mountain streams.
The last camp before reaching Fort
Benton was at the T%wenty-four Mile
Springs. It was early when we arrived,
but 1t was the only water for a long
distance, so we concluded to camp there
for the night. It was our habit to camp
on high ground and we did so here,
but when we took team down to
the spring for water we noticed plenty
around the spring. Father was worried
and did not like the idea Of staying
there for the night. While we were
talking the matter over we heard a
horse nicker just over the hill. This
made. us feel rather chilly, as we
thought we were being followed by hos
tile Indians. We hurried back. to cur
a horseman came in sight and w could
see he was not a redskin. Just then q
familiar sound came to my eaS-the
creaking of Red River carts. This was
q great relief. BY this time the horse
man had reached US and we found it
to be a big family of half breeds by
the name OF Pilkey, who had been to
3o4o 1CAAtOAA u oS4A4S 4uAo I'LL ouOplCos
we had met these people before during
u short stay at Fort Walsh. We spent
a pleasant night with them, sitting
around a buffalo chip fire, telling
stories and eating good pancakes and
buffalo meat cooked in a Dutch oven.
This was great life for a youngster like
me: The old women and girls seemed
all right too. The next morning when
we got up we found the camp all astir
and old man Pilkey waiting by ur
wagon to invite us to have breakfast
with them. We accepted the invitation,
taking a small box of soda crackers
with us. The crackers were greatly en-
joyed by the half-breeds. The morning
falo meat and pemakin. These people
were a little above the common half
breeds. There were about Is people in
this camp, all relatives.
This was an ideal camping place for
hunters, the luxurious buffalo grass
was knee high as far as the eye could
reach, and its red tops would wave
with the slightest breeze. These springs

where they could sit and wait for the
game to come to them. We pulled out
late that morning for Fort Benton,
which was only "a miles away. We ar
rived at the old historic post about s,
o'clock that afternoon and sold furs
that we had traded for from differ
ent tribes of Indians, to T. G. Power
& Brother. We loafed around the Fort
q few days to get acquainted with the
people and the resources Of the terri
tory.
Father had promised Colonel Walsh, !
commander of the Canadian Mounted
Police, to return and help get out logs
to build Fort Walsh on the North fork
Of Milk river, SO we bought q new sup
ply Of grub and returned to the police
headquarters, where we got out logs to,
build that historic fort. Later we re-
turned with other Americans to Fort
