would tell of some of his western ex
| perlenceS.
Another report was that he had gone
| to England in the late ninetieS, before
his brother died, to guide an English
adventuring crew to the gold fields al
Cape Nome. In this venture he lost the
money received from the government
for his bridge. The adventure turned
out badly and he showed up in Tacoma
a charity subject.
Baronette did, however, go to Eng
land in connection with his legacy
and returned to Livingston some wears
before his DEATH still pauper. If his
trip to England proved him heir to a
legacy, he never told friends what be-
came of it. On his return trip to Liv-
ingston he claimed. he had been in
jured in the head on his way home and
had spent several weeks in a hospital
at San Francisco.
A friend, at the last, claimed Bar
onette was not Briton, but had been
born in Missouri, where he had known
him as boy. Nevertheless, Barometer IS
characteristics were decidedly British,
with a strong Scottish tang. 1t was
also definitely known that many of
his early-life adventures were authen-
tic.
Had Jack BarOnette possessed the
flair for publicity and showmanship
so strongly developed in many western
characters, he could have made his
last years secure, just by capitalizing
his life's adventures. But all his life
he had been enchanted by the lure of
gold in strange places, sometimes max
ing considerable money which he al
ways spent on new adventures. Thus
he kept himself broke until feeble years
prevented his longer handling affairs
In the end. Baronette died, Nov. %.
1906. an inmate of the Park county
farm Having been associated with
the Confederate cause, no matter how
briefly, his strong pride was keenly
hurt when with reluctance he had to
accept aid from the Women's Relief
Corps and the Grand Army of the Re
public. The G. A. R. conducted his
funeral with military honors.
Where other pioneer characters, both
good and bad, left legacy of living
memories, Baronette is almost forgot
ten, even by those who knew him best
in the last two decades of his life.

The Nez Perce Indians, under Chic
Joseph, burned Baronette's bridge Wher
they traversed Yellowstone park il
1877 BY this time the bridge was de.
pended upon by all travellers to the
bridge at his own expense; he said il
cost him $4,000, due to heavy trans
portation costs over long distance
from BOZeman.
Baronette's Bridge
AS the government advanced the de-
velopment of Yellowstone park, Baron
cites bridge was taken over as part
of the road system, without compen-
seating its owner, though, according tC
Baronette's claim, the government con-
tinued to collect toll from all travellers
In December, 1895, Senator Carter of
Montana introduced bill in congress
to appropriate $1,000 for Baronette S
relief. A short time later, when he was
in Strengthened circumstances, Baron
cite got the $4,000, but he said he had
spent $4,000 in doing it.
BarOnette for some years during the
eighties was scout in the park, and
it was his honor to guide President
Arthur and his party through Wonder
land in 1883.
In 1900 report came to Livingston
that Baronette was the heir of a broth
er who had been killed in the Boer
war in Africa, and that huge fortune
awaited him in England. Baronette had
been away from Livingston for a con-
siderable period then, and conflicting
reports reached his friends as to his
whereabouts and his activities.
Sought As An Heir
One report was that he had shipped
to England on a wheat vessel. Another
story was that the Associated Charities
in Tacoma had provided transporta-
ton to Wallace, Idaho, where Baron
cite was to work in a mine. Another
was that he had been sent to Redding,
Calf, to brother of Mark Twain,
who had work for him around a mine;
he had started for California, according
to the story, just before an attorney
sought him to hand over 1,000-pound
check to enable him to go to England
to claim his legacy. 1t was also report
ed he had appeared at the Tacoma
Charities office for work, but was too
feeble to handle any of the employ
ment available. He was very reserved
and would not talk about his family

UNION LAUDED BY PUBL
CATION

From the National Clerks and Sales
mems Journal, published by the Home
Industry Publishing Co., Butte, M. j
Geiger, manager and editor, corner EX-
| celSior avenue and Caledonia street
Annual publication issues of 1900:
"It is doubtful if there is an organ
ization in Montana which has in its
ranks more active past presidents than
the Butte Clerks union. The success
of the union is undoubtedly due, in a
good measure, to the interest these Of
ficerS have shown in the affairs of the
union and their untiring devotion to
the interests of the organization
"Those who have served as presidents
Of the union are as follows, in rota-
ton: Henry McMurphy, Phil Harring-
ton, Frank Reber, E. j. Oleson-two
successive terms-Dan Brown, two
terms; w. D. Fenner, Justin Butler
Elmer Snavely, M. j. Geiger, Gus Me
lander, James Morgan, Gus Heyn,
Harry Heimerdinger, John F. Lee.
Hugh Cavanaugh was elected pres
ldent, but served only q short time.
He was called away from Butte to an
other position. Phil Harrington, Frank
Reber, G. G. Curtis and w. D. Fenner
became engaged in other pursuits. Their
energetic presence is missed among the
counter Jumpers, tape line swingers
and mackeral sellers"
Officers in 1900 were: Justin S. But
Ter, president; Charles Lannin, vice
president and Walter Beckman, finan-
clal secretary and standard bearer. The
union was founded in 1886 as an As
sembly OF the knights of Labor.

covered the soldiers. He was out on one
of his horse stealing raids together
with four young men-Yellow Eagle,
Crooked Nose, Little Shield and White
Bird. They left the Cheyenne camp on
Reno creek, and passing through the
Wolf mountains, came to the Rosebud,
and waited for daylight. At it's coming
they discovered herd of buffalo. and
killed a bull. One of their number
called attention to some buffalo COWS
feeding on hill nearby and suggested
they kill one of them, and have better
meat. Leaving Crooked Nose to act as
cook, they started after the cows, when
the saw Crooked Nose making signs to
them to come back. They lost no time
in doing so, and learned that he had
seen two men with their horses on top
of a neighboring hill, and that they
were coming towards him.
"They are Sioux" said Little Hawk.
The Fort Peck press., 1937-04-22

"Come on and we will have some fun
with them" Going up a gulch, he was
intending to make a sham attack on
the supposed Sioux, and frighten them,
but not injure them, for they were
allies.
Creeping to the ridge above, Little
Hawk looked over and found he was
almost in the midst of the soldiers.
Turning back, Little Hawk raced down
to the river, and tore through the un-
derbrush and trees with his followers
close after him.
When the camp heard what Little
Hawk had to tell, the warriors hast
ened to paint themselves; put on their
ornaments; and arrayed in their best,
strutted through the camp and headed
for the field of battle.
