MONTANA BRONCS
FOUGHT IN AFRICA
BRITISH SOLDIERS IN BOER WAR
RODE TO VICTORY ON MON
TANA HORSES

Montana bronchos carried the
British soldiers to victory in the
Boer war. And because Of the de-
mand from the English army for
Treasure state range horses, many
q cowpuncher for years afterwards
during spring and fall rounduns'
dropped his rope over either an
outlaw, which he was ashamed to
try to ride or a cr0wbait which he
really was ashamed to ride. For
the e war cleaned the Montana
ranges Of first class horseflesh and
f SSSn'e an 'a ase Ra,Se Of Of s. ssn g s sRim ans
good ones scarce at that.
A Billings firm, Kennedy & Conway.
were the principal horse buyers for
the British army in the west, being
awarded a contract by the British
government in 1901. There were many
other buyers, but the big end Of the
& Conway, and both members of the
firm made fortunes from their opera
lions. Their sale price averaged $50 a
head. They bought the horses for much
less. But every Montana horse that
the British put under a saddle in
South Africa cost $500 before it reached
there.
Conway of horses for the British was
made in the summer of 1901. It was in
the nature of an experiment both by
the Billings firm and the English Of
ficerS who had been sent to this country
to buy mounts. The purchases were
made in accordance with rigid speci-
ficat!ons laid down by the British Of
ficers.
To begin with. animals had to be
well broken and good saddle animals.
They had to be between 14a and is
hands and one inch high at the shoul-
der. They could be any color except
light gray or white. Those colors were
discarded because too easily discerned
at a distance by the enemy. The horses
were all carefully selected.
Kennedy & Conway were required
to ship their first consignment of
horses to Kansas City where they were
inspected n accepted by the British
officers. After the first shipment, the
firm was authorized to buy horses for
the British army all over the west
up to the number required.
The invasion of the Montana horse
market by the English cleaned the
ranges. and boosted the price and be-
fore Montana knew it it had made
desirable horses scarce.
In 1901 Kennedy & Conway bought
1000 saddle horses in Beaverhead
county, 1000 head in Madison county.
700 from Broadwater county. and 1000
in eastern Montana. These latter were
assembled at Billings. Shipments were
made from Dillon, Red Rock and Bill
lings to New Orleans, after the first
Shipment was accepted at Kansas City.

PATRICK A. Largely
Who was killed by Thomas J.. Riley,
80 years ago.. Riley, after being in
prison for 80 years, has been par
dOned.
prison May "a, 1898, by Judge Smith
of Helena. The case was transferred
to Helena on a change of emu from
Silver Bow county.
The killing of Largey, a Butte banker
and widely known man throughout the
state, was at the time characterized
committed in Silver Bow county
Largely was sitting in his office in
the State Savings bank of Butte of
which he was president, Jan. IL. 1893,
when Riley entered and fired point
blank. Largely fell dead. Largey was a
stakeholder in the Butte Hardware
company. One of this company's ware
houses was blown up in the DEATH
dealing explosion Of Jan. Is, 1895.
Riley, according to testimony brought
out during the trial, which lasted a
week, collected odd sums from Largely
and others who were owners of prop
erty destroyed in the explosion. When
was not Forthcoming, it was testified,
Riley made threats.
"In not serve half my time" Riley
shouted in the courtroom when he
was sentenced, according to newspaper
reports Of the trial.
Recent word that he had been par
doned found Riley an aged man. He
is the oldest prisoner in point of serv-
ice in the penitentiary at Deer Lodge.
The killing and trial was a sensa-
ton in Butte about 40 years ago. To-
day, few persons remember the de-
tails.
Governor Ayers letter to the pardon
board regarding the case, said, in part:
Riley is now 70 years of age, and
his physical handicap and long i'm
prisonment have made him a broken
old man. His only desire is to spend
the short remainder of his life outside
prison walls, a free man. Friends have
arranged to see that Riley is taken
care Of.
Il believe in this case the sentence
of life has been fully served, because
Tor the last 80 years Riley has not
been outside the prison walls, and at
the very best he has but a few remain
ing years. In every respect it appears
that Riley is nov entitled to mercy"

Montana Highways
Envy of Canadian
Province Officers

With international attention drawn
TO Montana's highway system by the
National Montana Bituminous confer

park, neighboring states and even other
countries are eager to learn the Treas

The last letter received by State
Highway Engineer Don A. McKinnon
concerning construction methods used
in the state was from G. II. N. Monk
man, deputy minister of the provincial
government of Edmonton, Alberta,
In his letter Mr.. Monkman said
Canadian officials have been informed
OF the modern highway system cover
ing Montana, and have asked the Of
ficials why such construction records
cannot be equaled by Alberta.
Mr.. Monkman's letter, in part, fol-
lows:
"Our department is coming in for
a great deal of criticism in the pro-
gram of roads that is being carried out,
and we are being continually reminded
OF the splendid roads which have been
constructed in Montana. and I would
appreciate very much a copy of yOur
specifications.
Our commissioner of highways. N.

fications covering different classes of
pavement, but as yet the province has
not been in proper financial position
to enable it to construct any expensive
type of highway.

In undertaking the task of rehabili-
tating the rambling old log building,
the chamber of commerce worked with
the Vigilance club of Miles City. Con-
tributions were received from the Butte

change clubs.
The building has been repaired, WIN
dows and doors installed, the founda-
ton concerted and the interior restored
