He had stolen some clothes from a
store. The prisoner unscrewed the bolts
from the door and walked out. The
people of Forsyth became incensed and
discussed the matter of loading the
jail on a flat car and shipping it back
to Miles City. The difficulty was that
the structure could not be taken
through the railroad bridge, crossing
the Tongue river at the county seat.
Through the fortunes and vicissi-
tudes of Forsyth, the providing of edu-
cational facilities for the children was
not overlooked. Mr.. Alexander was in
fluential in effecting the construction
of the first schoolhouse. It bears his
name. Another school was erected and
named in honor of H. r. Marcy. The
third was named in honor of Tom
Hammond.
Forsyth's first mayor was Charles R.
Taber. He came to the Yellowstone
valley with the railroad survey in 1881
from New Bedford, Mass. When the
survey party reached Gardiner, MI.
Taber returned and settled on a home
stead near Forsyth. Custer county was
a large subdivision of Montana. It in
cluded what is now Rosebud, Big Horn,
Treasure, Powder River, Custer, Carter
Fallon and parts of Prairie and Wi
baux counties. The area covered $3.50
square miles with a taxable wealth OF

Sc, 1895, 349. When Rosebud county was
created out Of Custer in 1901 Mr.. Taber
became its first county surveyor. The
only communities of any consequence
then in southeastern Montana were
Miles City, Junction City (now CUSTER
and Coulson, which is the present site
of Billings.
Forsyth stands today as a monument
to Tom Alexander. He came from
Woodstock, Carlton county, New Bruns-
wick. He brought along his personal
effects which consisted of a lariat and
an ak. In need of employment, he cut
wood for the steamboats,. His home
stead was chosen for a division point
on the Northern Pacific railway after
the refusal of Joe Gee to dispose Of his
land at the mouth of the Rosebud to
the company.
Mrs. Emily Shaw was another bride
who came to Forsyth in July, 1882. She
had attended school with Tom Alex
ander in Woodstock. One of her ex-
periences was to have her home brought
to her. Shortly after her arrival the
railroad track had been laid into For
syth and the work train had come
through. A few days later the four

Slayton said. 1.-THE details of this in
cident are very clear in my mind and
perhaps I can add a little to the final
chapter since I lived within a few miles
OF the scene of the accident and was
mentioned in the story, except the VIC
tim, and offered what assistance I
could Immediately after it happened"
he continued.
ANDY Jackson, who was employed
by E.. L. Ashley, my nearest neighbor,

ranch supplies and was freighting these

hitched to the customary freight wag-
on. He spent the night at Lavina, re-
Stunning his journey next morning and
was accompanied from this point by
Horace Moore. Moore was not then
known as a criminal.)
"When about IL miles from Lavina,
Jackson and Moore found themselves
directly in the path of a fast ap-

evidence of considerable severity. Fear

ageable they stopped the team and the
two men climbed off the wagon in

Perhaps an hour or two later jack

was lying in the mud. After determine
ing that Moore was dead and finding
three OF h horses killed, he unhitched
and turned loose the other horses, and
then walked something over three miles
to my ranch for help.
BY the time we could get a team
and wagon ready and return to the
scene of the accident it was nearly
dark. Our progress from there to La
vina during the night with Moore's body
was necessarily Slow, as the heavy
storm had not improved our early-day

How Sheriff Lost Reward
of $2,25O when lightning
Storm Killed Companion

Another chapter to the story Of how
an early day sheriff was perhaps cheat
ed out of a $2,25O reward, because he
made too sure of his man, was recently
added by D. F.. Slayton, retired Bill
lings farmer.
Coming to Montana from Fairfax,
Va, Mr. Slayton left the train at Bis
marck, N. D., and took a steamboat to
Fort Benton. That was in 1880. Later
he went to Helena, making the trip on
a six-horse freighter, the best way to
travel in those days. He has retired
from ranching and has lived at Bill
lings for the last 30 years.
Memories of those early days and
details Of the incident in which a bolt
of lighting claimed the life of Horace
Moore, wanted in California for the
murder of Mrs. J. @. Greenwood, were
recounted by this pioneer.
Horace Moore, known in Montana as
a California sheriff. A handful bearing
his picture was given to Sheriff John
Ramsey in the presence Of H. H. Mund
of the First National bank of Billings.
Mr.. Mund recognized the facsimile Of
the signature as the handwriting Of
Moore and this sent the Billings sheriff
on his trail.
Sheriff Makes Inquiry
Evidently feeling he had plenty Of
time in which to make the arrest,
Sheriff Ramsey made slow and care
full inquiry about Moore and it was

law a prisoner and the sheriff a re-

Justice Rules on

by Slant of Nose

After a three-hour hearing in a Hell
ena justice court recently, Charles
Haynes won possession of a small dog
from George w. Huber by the slant
of a nose"
Each man had a dog that disappeared
during the earthquakes last October.
When the dog returned to the Haynes
home, Huber claimed it and brought
suit.
After neighbors testified for both
claimants, Justice J. P. Brass decided
to solve the canine puzzle by calling
the spaniel by the name each owner
gave It.
When he called Rusty" the pup
licked his hand gleefully. Then he
called, Here, Ginger" and the animal
jumped in his lap.
Then the justice looked at some
pictures of a dog the two men ex-
hibited and ruled the spaniel was
