home in Crow Agency.
Rev. Father BALI was in charge

overlooking with people of all
nationalities, who had come from
various points in the county and
from Billings to paw their last tri-
butte to one whom they had learn

The story of "Smoky's" life reads
about as follows:
His parents were slaves. but he
did not remember them. Within a
few years Of his birth, which oc-
Cured in St. Louis. Mo-. in about
1858, his mother and father were
taken away. He was left with a
family. the head of which was
Lewis M. Howell. With the end of
the Civil war, Mr.. Howell shipped
by steamboat up the Missouri riv-
er to Montana, bringing Smoky
along as one of the members of
his own family.
Lewis Howell unloaded at Fort

SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON THE
ROAD NORTH OF HARDIN

What fortunately turned out to
be only a painful and costly &C
cldent, when it seemed but a
miracle that the outcome did not
terminate fatally, was the collision
Of the cars of John w. Rowland
and F. H. ~Funderberg which crash
ed on the new highway about a
mile north of Hardin, last Friday
night.
Rowland, together with Mrs.
Rowland, E. H. Gebo, of Browns
Tonsorial parlors, and a son of
Ole Landon of McRae, upon re-
turning from a trip down the val
ley, were about to cross the new
bridge near the Dewey Walker
home, when. in some unaccount-
able manner, the cars failed to
clear each other, the Rowland
car ~anparently turning over sew
eral times, and landing on its
side across the bridge. While the
Fundenberg auto was an older
model and much the lighter OF
the two, it was not nearly so badly
damaged as the Rowland car,
which was practically a complete
wreck.
Those requiring immediate med
ical attention were rushed to the
Hardin General hospital, where
it was found that no permanent
serious injuries had been suffered
BY any Of the ,arties involved.
All had been. nuite badly bruised
cut and were suffering from
shock, but fortunately all were
able after a day or so, to be in
circulation again.
It Is understood that there were
three or four passengers in the
Funderberg car, but their names
were not learned.

Gwen F. Burla Passes Away at
Los Angeles Home. County's
First State Senator.

News of the death of Gwen z.
Burla, Big Horn county's first
state senator, at his Los Angeles,
Calf, home, at an early hour
Sunday morning, was received IN
a telegram from his brother, Ed
Burla, who also resides in the
California city. It stated that
while he had been in poor health
for some time due to heart trouble,
the end came suddenly and unex-
pectedly.
Mr.. Burla was an early day resi-
dent of Yellowstone county, and
about ten years before he departed
with his family to California in

"SMOkY" IS AT AN END

manned in Montana with a Boze-
man livery stable operator.
It was in this stable that Smoky
began his career as an exceptional
horseman, and when Nelson Story,
famous early day Montana n,
brought a fine bunch of young
horses to Bozeman from Cali
fornia, Smoky went to work for
him, breaking and riding the
horses. He remained with Story
for three years.
There were a number of Crow
Indians living at that time near
Bozeman and Smokey associated
frequently with the younger gen.
Grafton. He learned to ride as
only an Indian can ride, COM
peted with the youthful Indians IN
their races, and at the same time
mastered the Crow tongue and the
sign language.
About 1872 he was discovered"
by the officers of Fort Ellis, who
took him with them on their many
trips into Indian country, Smoky
acting as interpreter. When the
soldiers left Fort Ellis, Smoky
went to live with the Crows at
the agency on Mission creek. He
followed the fortunes of the Crows
from that day until his death.
Smokey and Gen. Hugh l.. Scott
first became acquainted in 1877,
the year after the Battle of the
Little Big Horn. The general had
been commissioned to dispose Of
the bodies which still remained
on the field where Custer fell. A
year later, Scott who had come
to have a high regard for Smok-
ey's Craftsmanship, took the young
negro with him when he went
into the Musselshell country to
confer with Sorrel Horse, a Crow
chieftain. Scott did not need
Smokey as an interpreter. Scott
knew the Crow language too we'll
himself. But he used Smokey on
that trip as his wrangler.
For the next ten years, Smokey
served the government as an in
terpreter. For the last forty years
he was stationed at Crow Agency,
a federal employe, serving as po-
liceman, Interpreter and messen-

to befriend. countless times, was
returned in 1908 when Crow land
was being allotted among the
Crow Indians. The tribe officially
adopted Smokey and in that man
ner he was permitted to share
in all tribal benefits and as a full
member received his portion of
land. One OF his principal jobs
at Crow Agency was the taking of
the mail from the post office to
the depot.
Smokey was married several
times. There is no accurate court
on this but his marriages probably
numbered II or IL. Two of these
marriages were with Negresses,
the rest with Indian women. He
is survived by a son. John E. viii
son. who lives on the reservation
and who was born of one of the
Indian marriages.

Results of

Reports on Mantoux Tests Made by
The Big Horn County Red
Cross Chapter.

tuberculosis filled about $4,000
graves in the United States last
year. This disease strikes hardest
at those in the prime OF life; and
there has been a sharp rise in the
number suffering from this dis
ease between the ages of fifteen
and twenty-five. Medical science
has learned that the only way to
control this disease, is to find the
early cases (which are curable),
and give them the care which will
check the progress OF the disease.
The only way in which this can
be done, is through %tuberculin
tests followed up by X-rays OF all
individuals who show positive re-
actions to these tests. :.
Because of these figures, and
because there is a very high death
rate from this disease in this
county, the Big Horn County Red
Cross Chapter decided to include
in its nursing ~rooram a tuber-
culin testing camapign. Funds
prevented us from giving this test
to all our school children in the
county, as was first planned. The
Mantouxs were therefore given to
the high school children in the
county. Below is a report on the
