During the year 1885 it took almost
300 employees to serve the needs Of
1884 telephones In Montana, accord
Ing to figures just announced by j. NJ
Whittinghill, Montana manager of The
Mountain States Telephone and Tele-
graph Co.
At one time, on May 81, 1880, there
were 54,570 telephones in service in the
state, falling to as low as 43, 625 in the
depression on July 81, 1888. The growth
since has been gradual and at present

Figures taken from the books Of the
company for Montana as Of Oct. 81,

pounds up, and the Municipal handi-
cap at one and three-quarter miles,
carrying 100 pounds, the latter race in
the time of 3:011.
In the Morris Park handicap Ben
Holiday was asked to carry the crush
ing weight of 1873 pounds at a distance
Of two and one-quarter miles. The race
was run in mud and Holiday romped
in ahead in the time Of 4:07.
The only feat at that time compar-
able to Holidays performance was the
winning of the Melbourne cup by Car
bine, the great Australian horse. Car
bine went over the two-mile course for
the Melbourne cup carrying l45 pounds
and won the race in 1924 in field Of
80 horses.
Fred TaEal, the jockey who rode Ben
Holiday in the Morris Park handicap,
said that the horse ran away with him
and that he could not even pull him
up after the finish.
Ben Holidays dam, Mollie L, was by
Longfellow-Mollie McCamp, by Hunt
ers Lexington. Hollaoay was foaled in
1893 and made his appearance on a
race track at Lexington, KY, in 1895.
After he started racing his horses on
the big time tracks. Larabie trained the
animals at Louisville, KY. His trainer
was Peter Winner.
Poet Scout Brilliant performer
Another brilliant performer bred by
Larabie was Poet Scout, later owned
by Tom McTague of Deer Lodge, for
many years a partner with Frank Con-
ley in operating the Montana state
penitentiary under contract. Poet Scout
did not start as a 2-year-old, but when
3 he made an excellent showing. At
park he won the Shrews-
bury handicap at one and one-half
miles with 118 pounds up, in 1884,
which was one of the best perform
ances on record at that time for
stallion at that distance and weight. |

request. Tilton then turned to the in
cident of the shooting which brought
an end to Pym's life, and claimed he
shot in self-defense. He maintained
this position throughout the entire
trip back to the city.
A coroner'S jury was empaneled to
pass on the circumstances of the fatal
shooting. 1t was arranged also to have
a post morten examination made of the
body to trace the course Of the bullet
which produced death. The jury found
that Pym had come to his death as the
result of pistol fire, the shot having
been fired by Ralph Tilton, who stout
ly continued to claim that he fired in
self-defense.
Ppm was a man about 46 years of
age. He had come from Livingston to
Miles City several years before his
death, and but recently had been en-
gagged in the restaurant business. At
the time of the fatal shooting he had
been working as a cook for Charles
Richter. Previous to his residence in
Livingston, and following the Custer
Battle, Ppm had returned to Lake City,
Mimi, where he had been the city
marshal.
Before his burial the coroner re-
moved from Pym's breast the medal of
honor which had been bestowed upon
him by congress for bravery in action
at the Little Big Horn river, Montana,
June 1926, 1876, on the first day of
which the Custer Battle was fought
While he was resident of Miles
City, Ppm had confided to friends the
circumstances of the incident for which
congress had voted him the medal of
honor. Major Reno, he said, had been
driven back across the river by the
Indians engaged in the battle, and held
him on Reno Hill The situation on
the hill grew desperate on account of
the lack Of water. Time after time
soldiers Of the Reno command volun-
teered to go down to the river and
bring back canteens filled with water,
but were repulsed by the ever-watch-
full Indians who lurked in the shadows
along the path which was about the
only trail possible to travel on the way
to the water.
Pyn had related that a desperate
situation required a desperate effort
to overcome. While he had been re-
pulsed in an effort to gain the river
bank, he stated that he was able to
make some observations of which he
took advantage in his final effort,
which succeeded.
Fastening number Of canteens to-
gether he placed them about his body

in his mouth. Moving stealthily along
during the morning of June 26, Ppm
was able to reach the water where he
filled the canteens. The most hazard
GUS mart of the trip was then under
taken. He crawled along on hands and
knees The canteens at first seemed
to be light enough, but as he proceed
ed, keeping out Of sight and covering
his progress without betraying his
presence, the metal containers began
to weigh like lead"
Unable to release his hands to ease
the weight of the two filled canteens
he was carrying with his teeth, Pym
would describe the agony he exper-

fenced in a manner to indicate the pain
he felt. He realizd every drop of water
was precious, and he was determined
that none of it should be lost. Reach
ing point within what he considered
was a hailing distance to the top of
the hill, Pym threw precaution to the
winds. and removing the canteenS from
his mouth. which by their weight
nearly pulled my teeth out Of their
sockets" he made a rush forward.
When within sight of the soldiers he
felt that he had come under their
protection, and gaining the top fell
exhausted, but every canteen had been
brought back filled with water. He
was regarded as a hero.
AS the story Of the Custer Battle was
unfolded. Ppm was cited by his super
ior officer for the brave deed he had
performed. Recommendation were
made when congress voted him the
medal of honor. He priced it highly
within himself, but was hesitant when
it came to matter of exhibiting it on
his person, for it was always tout of
sight"
Fearless In battle, loyal to his mill
tary organization, and winning the
gratitude of a grateful nation for his
extraordinary exploit during the Gus
ter Battle, his friends said Of him that
he was his own greatest enemy.

Poet Scout won the one and one-quar-
ter mile Sheridan stakes in 2:11%
the Maiden stakes, mile and a furlong
the Hickory stakes, a mile and a half.
AS 4-year-old he won the shreWs-
bury handicap at one and one-half
miles, delegating Raceland and other
good ones. The next year he won the
Queen City handicap at one and one
eighth miles.
Halma made his debut as a 2-year-
old In a five furlong dash, finishing
third to Compania and Sir Dixon Jr.
Halma showed his best form as a s.
year-old when in six starts he came in
first five times and second once, win
ing total of SIS, 1885. His stake victor
les were in the Phoenix Hotel stakes,
one and one-eighth miles; the Kentucky
derby, one and quarter miles, and the
Latonia derby. He was never so good
again after the Latonia, which was
hard race. He was defeated in the
Himyar stakes and shortly afterwards
was retired.
Decapod, another Larabie horse, half
brother to Montana Regent, Vice Re
gent, Julia L and Bonnie Australian,
became famous in cross-country events.
He was sired by Imp Sir Modred out
Of Christine, by Imp. Australian.

3-year-old and defeated Lamplighter

race horses could be bred in Montana
They said the climate was too rigor-

But Daily had established his Bitter

valley and built a summer home at
Hamilton. He was first attracted to

the country when he and George
Hearst, father of William Randolph
Hearst, and an early-day partner OF
Days in the development Of the Butte
copper mines, went into the Bitter
Root to scout a timber supply. They
found fertile bottom lands where wild
grass grew higher than mans head
Hearst got lost in one of these wild
hay fields and was out all night.
What more natural when DAILY
reached the point where he wanted a
stock farm and a summer home than
that he should turn to the Bitter Root
valley2 He had become thoroughly IA
miliar with it by reason of many trips
in connection with a timber supply
for the Butte mines, and he had learned
it was fertile, that the winters were
mild and moisture abundant.
Montana was another famous run
ming horse which DAILY developed. Mon
tana won the famous Suburban handi-
cap one year. Prodigal was 2:16 har-
ness horse which brought laurels to
the DAILY colors. Others among his
thoroughbreds were Ogden, Scottish
Chieftain, and Senator Grady.
On the sulky circuits horses which
made excellent showing for DAILY were
China Silk, Cuprum, Ponce de Leon,
Journeyman, DR.. Spellman, India Silk,
John Nolan, Limerick, Handspring,
Laurels. Impractical and Improvidence.
They were trotters whose records ran
as low as 2:08 for the mile. Others were
Rachel and Ellorce, 1904, and Red
Silk, 2:10
A group of Days running horses in
1898 won him total of $35,372 in east
ern races. They were Hamburg, Ogden,
Isidor. Larva, Kitefoot. Croker and
Um Var.
When Montana won the Suburban
handicap at 40 to l, DAILY had a 81 900
ticket on him at those odds.
Daily Stables Earned Big Money
He was in Butte at the time and on
the day of the race went underground

Reno when he and his command were
held back by the Indians and prevent
ed from going to the assistance of
General Custer, who, with his imme-
date command, were annihilated.
1t was not until the following morn
ing that Deputy Sheriff Thurman of
Custer county, and Chief of Police Oh
lie Jackson of Miles City, started in
pursuit Of Titon. The officers took the
trail up Tongue river. When out about
four miles they discovered the embers
of a fire which, apparently, had been
Tilton'S rendezvous during the night.
The storm had abated to some extent.
Tracks in the snow leading from the
fire were examined Being followed the
officers came to the Frank Herman
ranch little further south up the
valley after describing a circuitous
route which Tilton probably thought
would throw the officers off his trail.
Approaching the Herman dwelling
cautiously, the officers gave the alarm
and were admitted. Entering they
found that Tilton had just eaten his
breakfast. Drawing their guns on him,
Tilton indicated that he was willing
to surrender without making a dem
onstration. He was duly arrested and
brought back to Miles City.
With grit that penetrated into the
very marrow OF his bones, Tilton
begged that the officers would turn
him loose in order that he might make
run for his life. He argued this mat
ter with the deputy sheriff and chief
of police, but they refused to grant the

In 1893 the spirit Of the Times,
publication devoted to race horses, sale
of Larabie that mo other owner had
bred so many high class race horses
from so few mares
Larabie often said that 1t was his
desire and intention to have a stud
second to none In America. He took
for his breeding gospel the theory that
he wanted animals whose pedigree
showed them to come from forbears
who had proved themselves capable of
a high rate Of speed, and possessed Of
the stamina and courage which en-
.abled them to carry that rate Of speed
over long distances. He also sought
to breed animals of fair size and SYM
metrical proportions - fine looking
horses.
Ben Holidays Winnings
OF all those he bred, none achieved
greater distinction than Ben Holiday,
the game son of Mollie L and Hanni-
bal In 1895 Ben Holiday was entered
in II races, won four, was second in
three, third three times and placed
