stolen woman. Do not believe him, for
has he not proved himself a woman
stealer and one who disobeys his
father?"
IAN this is true" the men Of the
village said to one another. Our
scouts have seen no war party and
there are many stationed at vantage
points. Let us, therefore, pay no at
tention to his story for it must be that
he was afraid TO travel alone and
thought up this lie to cover his cow
ardice. May his father and mother
outlive this diSgrace!"
So the village returned to its quiet,
the people thinking little of the cpl
sode except it furnished more food for
gossip against the young couple.
But early in the morning two days
later, the Assinniboines and Crees in
great numbers attacked the village. The
surprised eros Ventres were totally
unprepared and many Of the braves
were killed as they ran for their horses
and weapons.
A Cree warrior of great ugliness,
made more so because at some previous
time his nose had been cut off, ap-
peared to lead the attacking party.
-Four times the enemy rushed the VII
were forced back towards the creek,
where the women and children sought
shelter under the bank and the war
riors stationed themselves on the brow
Of a hill to defend them.
The ASsinniboines and Crees fought
fiercely, pushing the eros Ventres
steadily back toward the creek Then
Weasle, who had many brave deeds
and coups to his credit, took from his
arms his brass bracelets, won in battle
from a Sioux warrior, and, crushing
them in his hands made ball for the
flint lock gun.
Hal" he cried to his companions,
"Old Cut Nose may be a great medi-
cine man who is safe from our weap-
ons but think this medicine I have
made will finish him"
AS Cut Nose again advanced with
the drummers leading the warriors,
Weasel took careful aim and fired the
gun. The ball struck the Cree in the
chest and he fell dead At once the
drummers rushed forward beating fur
iouSly upon their drums in an effort
to cover the CONSERVATION felt by the
loss Of the leader
Weasel saw that the death of the
Cree had stopped them but for a mo-
ment, and that his people were greatly

war parties. A watch was always kept
no matter how peaceable the country
side, for wandering bands OF the enemy
who coveted the hunting grounds and
camping places Of the GroS Ventres.
Only the women, the children, and the
old men, remained IN the village. The
women had much to do for there had
were many skins to clean and scrape,
many lodge coverings to mend and
make, and clothing TO prepare for the
approaching winter.
When the men were many miles from
the village, a war party of Crees and
AsstnniboineS charged down upon the
camp from a well hidden ravine in the
kept over the activities Of the eros
Ventres village. AS the war party
swept down upon them one of the
young boys, too young to accompany
the warriors, ran to where the appa-
loosie horse was picketed. AS he sprang
upon the back Of the silvery spotted
horse a Piegan woman, wife of a eros
Ventres, rushed to him with her small
son. She placed the child on the horse
behind the boy and striking the ami
NAL with her hand, cried:
Ride westward on this swift horse.
Spread the news that our enemies have
struck and we are about to be killed.
There are none to defend us. We are
left even without weapons to defend
ourselves"
AS the appaloosie horse, belly low
to the ground and ears laid back, gall
loped away from the village, the hos
tile party arrived amid the shrieking
of the women and the crying of the
children.
The entire village was wiped out.
When the Gros Ventres men returned
they found nothing bat the scalped
and mutilated bodies of their women
and children, the smoldering remains

outnumbered with many Of the bravest
warriors dead or badly wounded. Lock
ing wildly about for q horse, as bis
own had been killed, he saw q beauti-
full black and white horse tethered a
short distance up the creek. He ran
toward it but a woman stopped him.
you can not take that horse. He be-
longs to my husband, Chief Sitting
Woman" she cried.
But Weasel paid no attention to
her. Untying the horse he mounted
and rushed into battle shouting.
"Our warriors are being killed. Soon
our women and children viii be taken
What matter whose horse 1t lisp"
At the creek he stopped and smeared
his naked body with black mud. Nov
Weasel, by this time, had lost his bow.
But on his back was a culver OF ar
rows. AS the horse, excited by the great
noise and eager to take part in the
battle plunged forward, Weasel snatch
ed the arrows from his culver and
using them as spears struck right and
left at the enemy. The ASSinniboineS
and Crees tried again and again to
strike him or his horse but SO swift
was the horse and so unerring the aim
Of the warrior that they could not touch
them. The black and white horse
plunging so flriously, and the mud
splaShed body Of the rider thrusting
with sharpened arrows, made an awe
some sight and the enemy, thinking
surely they were superhuman gave
way and fled, dragging their wounded
with them and pursued by the GroS
Ventures warriors stil unhurt.
When Weasel, who had pursued the
enemy some distance, returned to the
shambles that had been peaceful vii
lage, he and his horse were met by
the people who praised them and gave
great honor to them.

PRESIDENT OF MACHINISTS union
DISCHARGED FOR UNION ACTIVITIES
SHOPS
TO OBSERVE
8-HOUR LAW

Commencing next Monday, all but
cher shops in Silver Bow County will
be required to observe the Montana
state 8-hour store law according TO an
announcement, made at a meeting
Wednesday night in Judge Downey's
Courtroom, to a group Of master but
cheers and journeymen gathered there
at the request Of the Commissioner Of
Labor.
1t has been customary for many
years for the butcher shops of Butte
to operate ten hours, from 8 in the
morning until 6 in the evening. The
employees in some Of the shops have
been working 9 hours. MI. O'Byrne
called the attention Of the proprietors
Of the shops to the necessity of COM
plying with the law, hence no butcher
will work more than 8 hours, COM
mencing next week. The law does not
make any provision for cleaning up or
for any other side duties. The en-
ployee must not give more than 8 hours
time in any one day. Where a shop
is a corporation, the officers and other
stockholders, if working at the shop,
are considered under the law as en-
ployees according to the Commissioner
and are not permitted to render more
than 8 hours Of service.

MINER AT CALEN PLEADS FOR MORE
PUBLICITY ABOUT SILICOSIS DISEASy
Transfers Union ~
Missoula Flo, sfling


Pete Baron, business gent OF the
Missoula Transfers organization drop
ped into the Montana Labor News Of
flee last Tuesday for a visit to discuss
union affairs as they exist in Missoula
County. He had just finished attend
ing the meeting Of the state Teams
tiers organization at the Teamsters Hall
in Butte, ~ East Park Street. This
meeting had been called to discuss the
problems Of long distance hauling. An
official report OF this meeting is print
ed elsewhere in the paper.
Mr.. Baron stated that business con-
ditions in Missoula have improved re-
markably and that the Transfers or
ganization in that town has developed
into one OF the strongest unions of its
kind in the state Of Montana. Accord
ing to the Transfers delegate there
are three major government projects
in course of construction in the city
Of Missoula, an overpass over the Mil
waukee Railroad tracks, a new bridge
across the river, and an addition to the
Federal building. The addition will be
as large as the original building. Prac-
tically all of the building craftsmen
are employed.
The agricultural situation in western
Montana, according to Nh. Baron, is
prosperous, this part of the state hav-
ing had more than its usual supply OF
precipitation. The surrounding country
is particularly beautiful at this time Of
the year, according to the visitor. In
reference to the resumption of work
at Poison, MI. Baron feels that this
enterprise will be reflected in improved
conditions in Missoula County. "The
union movement in Missoula is
growing at an encouraging rate and the
meetings OF the central labor body are
well attended" stated Mr.. Baron.
The members Of the Transfers or
.ganization in Missoula show great in
terest in their organization and every
meeting is well attended notwithstand-
ing, that ordinarily during the hot
weather, member of union ~organiza-
would rather go fishing or take
a. ride in the car than listen to the dry
routine Of business.
Mr.. Baron was accompanied by his
wife. They were guests at the Leggat
Hotel.

Silver Bow County
Takes Advantage
Of F. H. A. Loans

Helena, June 9-Of the 2,514 loans
%aggregating 100000 made in Montana
by banks and other private lending
agencies up to April 30th Of this year
under the Federal Housing Admins
tration modernization credit plan 1877
borrowers of Silver Bow county took
advantage Of the plan for loans total
ling $60,230.00, said Barclay Craighead,
state director of the Housing Admin
istration.
rnese advances of credit, classified
generally as character loans, were OBJ
tanned for the purpose of financing
repairs, Improvements, modernizatIon
or equipment for private homes, in
come Property, business and industrial
plants and other types of structures
coming under the eligibility regulation
of the Federal Housing Administration.
While the range Of the Montana
loans ran from $50, or even less, up
to figures high in the thousands, the
average Of all loans was $751; a figure
about 90 per cent higher than the av-
erage for the nation as a whole.
The periods Of these loans range
from one to five years and they are
repayable in equal monthly install
ments. They are not to be confused,
said Mr.. Craighead, with the long
term amortized mortgage loans for the
construction or purchase Of city or
town homes or the %refinancing Of ex-
isting mortgages upon such properties.

Milwaukee convention was picketed

"A vote for Landon is a vote for
