Old time residents Of Montana
an recall scores of instances In
which men have become lost in the
mountain Businesses of the state or
on the vast expanses Of prairie,
some of them to wander for days,
experience untold hardships and
live to tell the story; others to dis
appear as utterly as though wiped
from the face of the earth by some
gigantic hand.
Only a few weeks ago John E. Lee,
employed by Carl Anderson, in caring
for a band of sheep on Wild Horse
flat, northeast of Hinsdale, was lost
for five days on the prairie. Lees
troubles started when, during a storm,
he stumbled and fell, striking his head
on a rock or the frozen ground. He was
gained his senses found his face frozen
and his eyes swelled shut.
Unable to see sufficiently to be sure
where he was going, he became lost
in country with which he was per-
fectly familiar. For five days he Stun
bled on, For five nights he slept where
he could, night in a dugout which
he came across, the other nights in
holes in coulee banks which he bur
stayed with him and the two slept
curled together each night. Had it not
been for that, Lee probably would have
frozen to death.
When Lee failed to show up at the
camp with his band Of sheep. his m
ployer sent out searching parties. On
the fifth day Leslie Jones and Frank
Drabbs found the trail Of Lee and his
dog in the snow, followed it and came
upon the herder, totally exhausted, and
with face, hands and feet frozen. Lee
lived to tell the story, but died later
as a result Of the experience.
Everts Wandered 81 Days
But Of all the scores who have been
lost in Montana's hills or on her ranges,
and who lived through it in the face of
almost unbelievable difficulties, the ex-
periences of Truman c. Everts, who
wandered for 81 days in the region that
is now Yellowstone national park, with
out even q pocket knife with which to
cut kindling for a fire, or a match
with which to light it, tops them all.
Everts, who formerly had been

OF Montana, waS a member of the

w HEN THE county fathers of
Gallatin county decided to
NV erect a new courthouse 4
year or SO ago, they chose
a plan Of architecture as
modern as tomorrow. However, al
though the plan Of the new .Gallatin
county courthouse is ultra-modern, the
designers did not forget the past ami
ON the second floor of the building there
is a museum where mementos Of the
cOunty's earlier days are to be gathered
together. Already there are several
cases Of reminders of other years.
In one of these cases may be seen a
piece of wood from the old Gallatin
county courthouse which bears the
carved notation: First train hove into
sight March IA, 1893, at 4:3O p. m. At
Nelson Story ST., A. A. Deem, M. M.
Black. These pioneer residents of Boze-
man were seated in the tower of the
old courthouse on that day more than
half a century ago when the first loco
motive of the Northern Pacific rail
road came into Gallatin valley.
Displayed in a box of excelsior is a
bombshell which vas fired at old Fort
Ellis in 1898. The bomb failed to eX-
plode and was discovered in a field
near the fort Is years later. Today
Fort Ellis is no more and only a marker
placed by the Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution reminds travellers of its
existence. Another memento from Fort
Ellis is a little ship which was carved
out of wood by one Dan Starr who re-
sided at the fort in the seventies. The
little vessel is 81 inches over all and is
an exact replica of a real seagoing
vessel, for Dan Starr was a former sea
rover. The foremost of the ship IS
damaged, the result of a wreck which
occurred on its one and only voyage.
That was on a day many years ago
when two mischevious boys stole the
boat and set it asail in the Gallatin
river. The little ship sank and was
salVaged by its owner who was close

on the trail of the culprits. It vas dur
ing the salvage operations that the
foremost was damaged.
A grim reminder of vigilante days
is a piece of wood from the tree on
which the vigilantes hung bad Bill
Hunter in Bohemian, February 3, 1864.
That Bozeman once had aspirations
toward being made capital of the state
of Montana is revealed by a pocket
piece which boosts Bozeman for cap
ital city. The pocket pieces were dis
tributed by Bozeman boosters during
the capital battle which resulted in
Helena's being named first city Of
Montana.
Among the newspapers displayed in
the museum of the Gallatin county
court are a copy of the famous old

 Capt. Of Guards
SIX PRISONERS FINALLY SUBDUED IN TEAR

COLUMLA, s. C., Dec. 30(P)- Six desperate convicts, who slew their hostage, a captain of guards in his office at the South Carolina penitentiary at Columbia, surren. dered after having ignored a drs matic two-hour plea that had been made to them by Governor Olin D. Johnston.
 They previously had success fully resisted attempts to take them by prison officials. The pris oners were finally dislodged by tear gas bombs hurled by Nation al guardsmen.
 The convicts immediately after their surrender were thrown into solitary confinement. One of them, William B. Woods, serving a term for highway robbery, con fessed he was the prisoner who stabbed to death Guard Captain Olin Sanders, 61 years old.

COOPERATION MUST
 CONTINUE

Thirty years ago nearly 200 people out of every 100000 of our population were dying from Tub erculosis. During these years three and one-half million men, women and children have died from this preventable disease but had the mortality rate prevailed an additional two and one-half million would have died. Today the tuberculosis mortality rate in 55 per 100000 in this country & there are more than 500,000 peo- pie sick with tuberculosis.
 The chief concern of the thous- ands of men and women working with the national, state and local tuberculosis associations is to find tuberculosis in it's early stage when cure may be more easily affected. The greatest number of deaths occur between the ages Is and 45 for which age group tub erculoSis is still the leading cause of death, In spite of the steady improvement of diagnostic meth ods only 13 per cent of cases ad- mitted to sanatoria are found to be in the early stages of the dis ease and this means there are far too many unrecognized cases in the community injecting their families and neighbors. Only by finding every single case can the disease be stamped out.
 Early examination, skillful di- agnosis and prompt treatment are the factors which make the dis ease curable and preventable. Suspicious cases should be prom

OBITUARY
Lavinia Agnes Coleman

Another well-knoWn citizen of the !
valley has passed into eternity. La
vinia Agnes Coleman was the
daughter of Iradell Stone and his
wife Helen, nee Meier. She was
born on the 9th day of September,
1903, at Bickleton, Washington. On
the 18th day of February, 1923, she
was married to Harry j. Coleman.
Nearly all of her married life was
spent in this valley near White
Bluffs. In 1929 Mrs. Coleman joined
the Lutheran church and up to her
end remained a faithful member.
About ten years ago her health
began to fail. AL that medical
skill has to offer was given her. A
number of times she spent several
months at a time in sanitariums
for the benefit of her health. About
a year ago last June she went with
her family to Seattle to live, hoping
that the change in climate might
prove beneficial to her health.
About six months ago her health,
however, began to fail rather rap
idly and on Sunday morning, Sep
tember 10, at 10:45 o'clock Mrs.
!! Coleman peacefully passed into her
eternal home at the age of "a years
and ID days.
Her funeral took place on We'd
nesday, September %, at 200 pm.
from the Mittelstadt Funeral Par
lors in Seattle. Rev. L. @. Krug of
White Bluffs off1ciated. Interment
took place in Grown Hill cemetery.
The flowers were many and beauti-
full, among them being those from
the Junior Women's Club, White
Bluffs, and the local Auxiliary of
the American Legion.
| Her survivors are her sorroWing
husband, Harry j. Coleman, her
three sons, Alfred, Harold and Cor
don; her mother, Mrs. Helen Stone,
! two brothers, three sisters and
many other relatives and friends.
