Farmers Not
T0Run Wild
On Tobacco

Tobacco farmers in this part of the
state are not going to run wild in
putting in a huge tobacco crop this
year, regardless of whether or not any
control legislation is set up, in the
opinion of G.. w. Knott, Henderson
warehouseman.
During his off-season from the
warehouse, Mr.. Knots business is
taking him into many communities
in this section.
He has had opportunity to talk with
hundreds of tobacco growers, and he
said today nearly all with whom he
had conversed said they were not go
ing to put in much if any, more than
they did in 1885. There will be a few
Mr.. Knott believes, who would have
the sky as the limit, but he did not
think there would be very many of
these He thinks most growers real
ize the critical situation, and the
probable ruinous prices that will pre-
vail if a. tremendous crop is grown.
He said he was urging all with whom
he came in contact to hold down their
acreage certainly to not more than
that of last year.

When Near
DY0z0mimg

The heroic and successful efforts
of Hodge Smith, 17-year-old son of
Mr.. and Mrs J. B. Smith, of near
Epson, in saving the life of Gerald
Frazier from drowning on Friday of
last week were recounted here today.
Hodge stopped by the Frazier home
and asked Mrs. Frazier where he was
and was informed that he had gone
to their pond some distance from the
house. It was around $50 p. m.
Hodge walked on to the pond, and
as he approached heard some one
called for help to save Frazier, who
had gone out in a boat with a Negro
farm hand to get some nets. The
boat had capsized and Frazier's foot
became entangled in the nets. Hodge
took time only to shed his trousers
and plunged into the water He grab
bed Frazier by the hair just as the
man had started down the third time,
and dragged him ashore unconscious
while three men looked on from the
banks of the pond.
Frazier was revived and soon had
recovered from his experience, and
appears to be none the worse for his
narrow escape from drowning in the
pond.

country where he became a messenger
and food carrier.
A few years later, however, Thomp-
son enlisted in troop G of the Eighth
federal cavalry and thereafter took part
in some of the major engagements OF
the war between the states.
At the end of the conflict he re-
turned to the Tennessee home to live
with his mother. In 1869, though, he
was in st. Louis enlisting in the Fifth
cavalry for service under Gen. Nelson
A. Miles. He served with that regiment
for 10 years and was ho%norably dis
charged as a first sergeant at Fort
Keogh, now Miles City, on Aug. 20, 1879.
He accompanied the Fifth infantry
from Fort LeavenWorth. in July, 1876,
to the Yellowstone river valley in the
Montana territory. Two years before he
was with them in Indian campaigns
in the Texas panhandle.
Stationed at Fort Keogh, the Fifth
infantry waged lengthy skirnlishes
against the warning northwest tribes,
the Sioux and Cheyennes.
Thompson remained at Fort Keogh
for some time after his discharge, as a
civilian scout, guide, trainmaster and
packer.
In 1898 Thompson was employed by
the val department as a civilian train
master in Cuba with the forces of Gen.
eral Shafter during the Spanish-Amer-
lean a Thompson was with the army
in Cuba throughout the campaign and
on many occasions served as an in
terpreter. He returned to the states
under General Bates.
His later years, Thompson spent in
retirement. He was a Mason and a

For the last Is to 20 years he resided

Judge G. ". Stnpleton, Famous EarlY-Dng
Character, Wrote First Lauus Of Territoru

The man who christened Bannack
was Judge G. w. StapletOn, a famous
character of the early days of the
territory. StapletOn was then a young
lawyer. He arrived in the camp in
1862. He was a natural born leader
of men, and the miners whose laws
governing the new, unorganiZed dis
trict he had written, wanted to name
the new town in his honor. StapletOn
suggested the name Bannack, after
the Indian tribe that inhabited that
section of the country, and this
name was agreed upon.
Young Stapleton had an excellent
education in law. He had graduated
from college and admitted to practice
Iowa, before he was of age. The
lure of adventure attracted him in his
youth and he trekked across the plains
to Colorado. About that time news
came to Colorado of the wonderful find
of gold on Grasshopper creek in Mon
tana, and Stapleton was among the
to reach that camp after the dis
coverers.
No Work for Lawyers
He intended to practice law. But
was no law and no courts in the
territory, and therefore little occasion
lawyers. He fOresaw the need of
laws for the regulations of the
district, and framed the Ban
hack laws, which the miners adopted.
1t was probably fortunate for him
hat there was no practice. He turned

There were several hundred men in
this stampede. Near Point of Rocks the

Through the efforts of Staplefon and
Mclean a miners meeting was called
and Stapleton was delegated to draw
up the laws of the Alder gulch district.
These laws were ratified by the miners,
reached by the prospective owners
which afterwards produced $1OO, OOO.-
600 in gold. The Stapleton laws, and
all legal transactions and transfers
made under them we're approved by the
constituted authorities when, later. the
territory was organized. 1t is said that
Stapleton carried the laws of Alder
gulch INTO the gulch with him. He
mined until 1865 with success. He spent
some time in Last Chance gulch and
Otphir, and was for a number of years
in Argenta, engaged in quartz mining.
Gould Have Been Governor
He located in Butte in 1881 and be-
gan the practice of law. He was n
of the first attorneys of the state to
devote his attention to mining law,
and figured, on one side or the other
in all early-day mining litigation.
He was elected to the territorial legis-
lature four times, after which he de
clined further nominations. During his
tenure OF office he was first speaker of
the house and afterwards president of
the senate, and was put at the head of
the commission to codify the laws. He
served in the constitutional convention
and in the course of his career declined
nominations for governor, attorney
general, justice of the supreme court
and congress.
He died in Butte April 25, 1910. Just
before his death he grasped the hand
of his son, Guy w. Stapleton, and said:
Il have lived long; I have had al
good time; I am not afraid to die; the
game is over"

RETAIN @ CAMP

Governor Holt has been notified that the
civilian conservation camp at Morrison cave
in Jefferson county is to be retained during
the next period. B. Joe Wilson, state park
superintendent, said the information, which
came from Senator James Murray, indicated
the project would be continued for another
six months. Wilson said that all ~limin
improvements planned for the cave and state
park would be completed by that time.
