A SPRINKLING of loyal fans
- were on hand for the final
activities. =. Johnny Murphy took
the afternoon off and came out
to see what the boys were GO

his perch. Several Indianapolis
entrants looked good going into
their final singles games, but Sam

Hoereth, was trying hard but split
in his final singles game spoiled
things for him. ;. He wound UP
with $50. :. "Roly Poly" Webb
Wallace was among those in action
and he responded with $50 to tie
Hoereth for local runnerup honors.
Larry Lott, the big boy from
Terre Haute, was also ort there try
ing to collect some of the prize
money. -. Carl Mccall tackled up
one for the books. He fired
ball between the So split without
getting either of tho pins. :.
"Rhiney" Rhinehart of Shelbyville,
decided to give up bowling and con-
tinue his campaign for nomination
as prosecutor.
A HUGE crowd turned out to look
4 "A over the two squads of femi-
nine FASTENERS in action. With
their various hues of bowling uni
forms" they presented a colorful
picture. And many of the fairer
sex found the alleys to their liking
and posted totals that caused some
of the pinmen who participated in
the national event to blush.
The usual force of American Bowl
ing Congress tournament employees
was on the JOB and handled the
event with the same smoothness
that prevails in the regular A. B. c.
affairs. Johnny Murphy, Ray
mond Fox and members of the Falls
City Hi-Bru quintet were busy ac-
cepting the congratulations of their
many admirers. i. The curtain
has fallen on the 36th annual A. B.

men, workers and others connected
with the gigantic event were See

MEMBERS of the winning Falls

A. B. G. and Brunswick Bake Col
lender officials and newspaper men,
were guests of Clarence Mack, spon-
sor of the new worlds champions, at
a chicken dinner in the Exposition
building at the State Playground
last night.
Mr.. Mack congratulated every
one of the team members and
thanked the tourney officials, news
papers and others who made the
national tournament a success.
This team is to remain intact as

Oregon and Washington embraced by
the valleys Of the Snake, Salmon, Clear
water and Grande Ronde rivers. The
Indians were then naive enough to
take the white man at his word, but
the discovery of gold in the Clearwater
valley In 1850 and on tributaries of the
Snake a few years alter caused the
treaty of 1855 to be abrogated in 1858
by new treaty which considerably re-
duced the Nee Perez reservation. The
Nez Perces were having their first ex-
perience with the code Of honor" prac-
ticed by the white men.
New Treaty Rolled Old Joseph
The new treaty was signed by ma
jority of the NeZ Perez chieftains, but
Old Joseph and other chiefs refused
to sign, refused to live within the boun-
diaries Of the newly delimited reServa-
ton, and continued to occupy the fer
tile valleys of the Wallowa and the
Imnaha, tributaries of the Grande
Ronde and the Snake, respectively. Old
Joseph died in 1872, bequeathing to his
son and successor, Young Joseph, the
policy of ignoring the treaty Of 1853 and
retaining the land
IT buried him in that beautiful val
ley Of winding waters" (the Wallowa)
said Young Joseph several years later,
Il love that land more than all the
rest of the world. A man who would
not love his fathers grave is worse
than a wild animal"
In 1873 the United States gave the
Indians temporary permission TO re-
main in the Wallowa valley, but eager
settlers, pouring into the northwest and
recognizing no right Of proprietorship
among the Indians, occupied it. Much
friction followed the arrival of whites
in large numbers A commission, ap-
pointed by the federal government in
1876, decided that the non-treaty Nez
Perces had no standing and that they
must go onto the reservation as pro-
vided in 1853. Major General o. o.
Howard was ordered to carry out the
commission.
In May, 1877, several councils were
held at Fort Lapwai, near Lewiston,
Idaho. Chief Joseph, arrogant and
handsome, attended these councils and
on May z, after much argument, re-
luctantly agreed to 60 upon the reser-
walton. He felt that It would be folly
to enter upon q war with the whites
In which there could be nothing but
defeat for the Indians.
A certain time was given Joseph to 1
collect his people and move to the res I
ervation. However, his peaceful inten-
lions were not shared by younger

willy Chief Eludes Army
Chief Joseph and his band marched
safely up the Bitter Root valley, avoid
ing settlers homes, while Captain
Rawn, disgruntled, returned to Fort
MtsSoula. 1t was then decided that Gen
John Gibbon should be the man to
catch the willy Joseph. He was sta
toned at Helena, but by hard march
ing he managed to reach Fort MiSSoula
by Aug. 3. With 146 men, IL Officers,
and "a volunteers, he started in pur-
suit of the NeZ Perces. General How
ard was still hurrying along behind
Joseph.
On Aug. 8, 1877, Gibbons advance
discovered the Indians, encamped at
the junction of Ruby and Trail creeks,
In the Big Hole basin A battle started
at daylight, Aug. 9, and ragged all day.
Joseph tried. every device TO disoldge
the soldiers blocking his path. He set
fire to the grass and would have
burned them out had the wind not
changed. Late that night Joseph with
drew. Gibbon was wounded and 81
OF his men were killed. Joseph had
won the day and he crossed over into
Idaho unmolested and continued on his
way eastward into Yellowstone park
There he encountered tourists, some of
whom were captured. Several civilians
were killed along the way but sympa-
thizerS of Joseph have declared that
he had nothing to do with these deaths,
that they were the work Of scattered
members Of his band over whom he had
no control.
Chief Joseph had slipped through
Gibbons hands and so Gen. Nelson A.
Miles took up the chase and finally
Paw mountains near Chinook, Mon
tana, Oct. S, 1877. For five months
Chief Joseph had held out against the
combined forces Of the United States
army in Montana and Idaho.
After the surrender, Joseph and his
band were taken to Bismarck, N. D.,
then to Fort Leavenworth, and finally
TO Baxter Springs, Kan. Later Joseph /
was placed on the Colville reservation /
near Spokane, Wash He had not given
up hope Of regaining the Wallowa val
ley, and in 1897 he went to Washington I
to petition the president to regrant I
him the valley lands. BY that time the
valley was well settled and the pres
dent refused. Joseph returned to the
Washington reservation, where he died,
Sept. %, 1904.

Among the outstanding pieces of work

done by Stanley Martineau two years
ago. The statue shows Clark pointing
to the far skyline while Lewis stands
by his side. Another piece Of Martin

almanac to read, their diary records.
The plaque is six by three feet.

Chief Joseph, the So-callec
NM Napoleon Of the Indians
Accounts Of the character Of
this famous chief differ. Most
writers who have discussed him have
pictured Joseph as one of the great
heroes Of all time-a pillar Of nobility
and representative OF the best traits
Of the Indian.
A number of Montana residents who
were in the state when Chief Joseph
made his hopeless move against white
authority have a very different opin-
ion Of the chief Mrs. A. Rich, daughter
of the DR.. Hunter who was the original
owner of Hunters hot springs in Park
county says that Chief Joseph was not
the noble redman that he has been
pictured to be. Mrs. Rich, who is now
a resident Of Saltwater county, was In
Bozeman in the summer of 1877 when
several wounded men, victims Of an
encounter with Chief JoSephs band In
Yellowstone national park, were brought
into that town. She remembers well the
condition of these men who had been
tortured by the Indians and 10 this day
the mention Of Chief Joseph makes her
fighting mad. The opinions of other
pioneer Montanans who remember
JoSeph's raid coincide with those Of
Mrs Rich.
Varying descriptions of many great
men have been given by people who
knew them under differing circum-
stances. This is particularly true in
the case Of old Chief Joseph and to-
understand him we must get all opin-
ions and then draw our own conclu-
Eions.
Napoleon" Of the Indians
There are many reminders Of Chief
JoSeph's raid, or THE Nez Perce War
aS it is. sometimes called, along the
route he followed through MonAana,
and one of the most interesting is the
Big Hole battlefield near the Idaho
border I'm southwestern Montana. Here
was fought the last major conflict be-
tween Indians and whites in the north
west. Here Chief Joseph demonstrated
his ability as a military leader, the abil-
ity which gained for him the title Of
Napoleon Of the Indians"
The Big Hole battlefield has been
made q national monument and Is
rapidly becoming a mecca for tourists
interested in the intricacies Of the his
tory of the northwest. The road to the
battlefield leads across Beaverhead
county. through a world-famous feed
ing ground for fat beef cattle, where
grow more than 100 varieties Of wild
grasses Here it was that the Nez Perez
